    This is good news will finally be able to play it on my tablet.(I have used it on the tablet already but prefer using a Store version )

    I am just wondering will this be using the same shard as the pc version or will it be a third version split form pc and xbox?
    There are more than BIS players in this game
    RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
    FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
    Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

    My thoughts exactly. Is there some new win 10 store i dont know about?

    I am using Windows 10 on my laptop right now to get to Arc to play Neverwinter ...

    Am I going to have to go to the Win 10 version? Is the game going to sync my account from Arc to Win 10 version if I change?

    I did not even know there is a windows store.
    Hope you have a great day!

    I don't really know who this is aimed at. People who will go through the Windows Store but not Arc?

    It will be downloadable in Win10 store and you probably can pay through Microsoft and have what you buy bound. ;)

    Yeah, I'm a little confused.

    Is this just a launcher for people using the Windows Store in Windows 10, rather than using Arc, or is it a newly optimized version for those of us using Windows 10 as our operating system?

    We'll have more details in the near future.

    If we will be able to install Neverwinter without installing Arc, then its the best addition since mod5.

    Yes, now I can finally officially play NWO on my Windows 10 PC. It was killing me that I couldn't play on my Windows 10 PC before.
    Best news ever.

    I think this is about availability. Another platform like ARC and STEAM.

    Then why mention it all? People obviously wanted to know as soon as the blog was posted, so why procrastinate? It just opens the forums to more speculation.

    Didn't the Overlord promise better communication?

    I don't get it... You can play a PC game on the.. PC that you can already play and works just fine?

    But now you have to have Gold to play it because you downloaded it through the store?

    Ok... urm, clearly something is missing... who knows they might slip in some good news here, but I would be surprised.

    My guess is that this is aimed at non-XB1, non-PC Win 10 devices such as phones and tablets....though I wonder how many could actually run Neverwinter.

    Otherwise it really does sound redundant.

    just fyi - You can play Neverwinter and bypass Arc completely by using the Neverwinter.exe file if you want. I never run Arc; I just run NW from a shortcut on my desktop.

    If it is going to windows store that means it is probably a "universal App" meaning they are opening the doors for cross platform gameplay .... PC, Xbox one and PS4.

    In my experience the universal apps seem to use less resources than the legacy ones providing for better performance in game.

    Game update should also be smoother ... hopefully less extended patch times

    The game runs well on my tablet currently ... I just need to run on lower graphics settings. The new universal apps also opens doors for running native windows store apps on IOS and android (with small modification). So they might be opening up a long term plan for those devices too.

    I have not seen any windows game requiring Xbox gold subscription so I think they are referring to the xbox version when mentioning gold subscription.

    I am already running Neverwinter in Windows 10, and I just use the Neverwinter.exe launcher instead of Arc or Steam.

    Is this proposing a third shard of Neverwinter? Should I expect to lose all my progress?

    An announcement of this nature really should have more details. Confusion benefits nobody, and is likely to be more harmful than helpful for your business.

    I am a big fan of Neverwinter and of D&D, but the administration behind this wonderful game really should get their act together.

    The "Windows Store" is an entirely separate function than normally (or traditionally) installed programs. Think of Windows Store like the Google Play, Apple Store, or Amazon Store for devices, just for your PC instead. With what little info was given, it's then easy to assume this will be an additional way to install Neverwinter on the PC. As for whether this means a new Shard or not, that is still open for wide assumption until we learn more.
