    I don't want to jump on the hype train entirely just yet. Preview server will tell.

    Also Andy please tell me the secrets to the dev cinematics, I can never 100% reach their quality...

    So, a new tier of dungeons sounds really awesome. Does this mean we will finally see the leveling dungeons returned to something worth playing? I still have not bothered to touch the ones released in mod 8 or 9 or whenever it was because i have heard that they are no fun at all, just walk through one shotting everything.

    Perhaps if you have to choose which dungeons get the T3 work it can be the leveling dungeons you released? it would be awesome to play through those in a meaningful way, and we have already been bored silly of the 3 t2 dungeons that we have.

    And you know, having an additional giant/snow themed dungeon like Frozen Heart would be cool for the next mod, either that or it would distract from your new dungeon and so you definitely won't be updating that one...

    anyways, please revamp the leveling dungeons, please

    Can we make sure there are no "mistakes" in the future updates? I would like to know what we are really getting... I hate that feelin' like someone just knocked the ice cream outta my hand (leveling dungeons...). Thanks.

    Yes, it would be nice with new dungeons and gearing. But please work on economy still, it's dead right now. Not one Zen has been on exchange for days and over a million are requested. Seriously messed up. you took away too much for us to use AD on, now no one wants to buy Zen to exchange, cause there is nothing they want to buy with AD.

    Is this new Tier just taking the baby, leveling dungeons and making them an Epic Version. That would be really bad. We need Legendary Versions of all the dungeons to require 3.5IL minimum. Those might be a challenge. Did they say anywhere the new levels would be T3? Will there be any NEW dungeons? I have seen no mention of that. These new areas could all be Heroic Encounters.
  • kemnimtarkaskemnimtarkas Member Posts: 838 Arc User
    No mention of a new class or race.

    Maybe that's still coming?
  • scathiasscathias Member Posts: 1,174 Arc User
    Based on this post by strum (link) we will not be seeing a new class until after the balance changes, which is consistent with comments made in the past by the devs

    Finally some new content, hopefully we get some old dungeons back with the new tiers, like Dread Vault, and the other epic stuff that was the sht. Good to hear that 3 new zones, more dungeons are implemented and a new town.

    Are we to see cross-platform gaming at some point?

    But please dont leave us hanging on the PC, there is still much work for u to fix some crucial bugs but hopefully your release on the PS4 goes smoothly. Im moving to PS4 side sometime next fall, if the mechanics are playable with the gamepad, but well see.

    For the very first time in 2 whole years I'm excited for a Neverwinter module. Please, by all means, do not disappoint us, I might actually believe in this game again. And for new tier of dungeons you better mean legendary, uber hard like 3k+ dungeons that'll take us weeks of wiping before completion. Pretty please?

    Lots of Zen still hits the exchange. It just disappears immediately because the demand exceeds supply due to hitting the cap. I posted a Zen request when there was a backlog of over 600k at 500, and less than 2 days later it was filled and the backlog was over a million. The real issue will occur if it remains capped for weeks, because the time you have to wait to get your Zen will just keep going up.

    Also, that announcement video is terrible. I'm not hyped at all. "Oh, look, exact same scene over and over again...and it looks exactly like stuff already in the game....giant gibberish...giant shadow...oh, it's over?"

    You could have just taken a picture of an ice cube and a viking hat and gotten me more amped.

    I think they said cross-platform will never happen

    Looking a bit like a nordic language, so for me it says: "The war has come/started" (In swedish "Kriget är kommet")

    My money is on "tier of dungeon" means re-releasing an epic Frozen Heart. Already has a Frost Giant. They've played the role of word smith like this before.

    BTW, I can't fight Hrimnir without singing humming The Muppets Mahna Mahna

    Winter Frost is coming...

    Well, i hope there isn't another green companion hiding somewhere in that new campaign... please make it at least a blue one, fitting to the theme of this new module.
    I do believe in killing the messenger...
    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!

    Hopefully the new tier will have new dungeons and not just watered down versions of previous dungeons like the way they turned the great Castle Never into a demonic encounter.

    Since they don't really say much in this post and the past history of Cryptic to use vague blog/twitter/reddit/facebook posts to make poor updates/mods sounds nice and the recent OP nerf(nerf would have been fine but nerfing it to a level where I rather play my 2.5k GWF is just ridiculous) fiasco I will refrain from being optimistic for now, there is also no mention of a new class something they normally bring out shortly after nerfing the previous class into oblivion. Fool me once and all that.

    If I use my native language(though I doubt it is right) it translates to "The King Comes"
    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)

    As someone who speaks one of the norse languages, (which giant language is based on) that sentence means "War has come"
