    imo old dungeons to epic difficulty (2.6k ilvl) Some boss hitting orcus style and being bugged half the time (orcus reskinned blue and called frostschwanz) and some campaign requiring per day currency ala maze engine for 10 days per step for 2k hp +400 offensive stats boons. Also probably broken set for dpsers with 0.1% droprate.
    Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost"
    zhentarim-warlock-companion

    Pure -> Transcendent Plague Fire weapon enchantment giving 80damge/20 seconds for 500k+ AD is a joke.

    Can someone make a sticky announcement that there won't be a new class any time soon?

    Christ there should be one sometime this year.

    We'll be four mods without a new class after mod 10 : \

    We can always hope, even if we do not get one this time. after all, with all these broken mechanics and so on, i do not think it is time for a new class just yet, but who knows? they might suprise us

    Meh. They can use that excuse for the next five years and it will still hold true. It shouldn't be a reason for not releasing a new class.

    So they want to balance the classes and then add a new class to break the balance again... I love it!

    Personally, I'd rather see a new race than a new class. We haven't had a new race since Dragonborn (well, i think technically the Metallic Dragonborn came slightly after them). I'd be happy being able to unlock a Giant race to play. :D

    That thought (and Lans Thuliaga) sort of makes Goliaths plausible. Also, in Scott Shicoff's last AMA, he did suggest a new race was a thing that could happen sooner than a new class.

    Races don't really add much to gameplay though. They'll probably lock it behind another paywall like dragonborn are too. Not really interested in paying $25 for some slightly different stats and a skin.

    I consider it most likely that at least some of the "new tier" dungeons will be created from the dungeons that were removed and have not yet been removed.

    I really hope to get something that will provide a proper challenge to well-geared players - a dungeon where you need 3K to enter, with 3.5K being "recommended".

    However....

    I don't want tougher dungeons just to get a bit of extra challenge - a dungeon like that would be something you run once, just for the bragging rights or an achievement point....I want rewards that justify the effort.....and no, by "rewards", I am not referring to a few K AD or a 0.1% drop chance of an artifact.

    The old CN did it right - it was hard (well, at first), but if you finished it, you were guaranteed good loot that could be sold for a decent chunk of AD. The removal of worthwhile, unbound loot is one reason why I don't really bother doing dungeons any more.

    Hoping for improvements...

    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?

    I wish I could be this excited. Unfortunately, they've made it prohibitively expensive to upgrade even one character to the item level desired to join in on many existing runs, let alone a legendary dungeon. So, unless they put coal wards back into the trade bar exchange, or create a way for newer players to get coal wards without being Richey Rich or spending literally years invoking, this news really gives me no incentive to be excited or spend more cash on the game. *"giant" hint Dev team*

    Nope that is not a druid. He is Wulfgar and the archer is Catti-brie.
    Wulfgar is a barbarian youth from the nomadic tundra barbarian Elk-tribe. Once a flag bearer for his king he went to war against the ten-towns, got beaten down by Bruenor, then captured and raised by him under his supervision for 5 years. In time he became friends with the dwarf, Bruenor also crafted his warhammer the Aegis-fang and has been trained to fight by Drizz't Do Urden.

    Hmm, I am wondering if memory is really that selective. Or maybe I just did not get it. When a few mods ago the T2 dungeons WERE made "legendary", when mobs one-hitted everyone left and right, noone tried to find out how to avoid the one-hits, but there was only a scream of outrage by the community which resulted in the reduction of damage output for the mobs. Now you ask just exact the same thing again...? I am not judging, just wondering. Please elaborate.

    Incorrect. The reason why we were being one-shotted was due to a bug that was only fixed after the fact. And there were players that completed those dungeons regardless at the time without exploits.
    Our pain is self chosen.

    The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.

    I hope the devs will enlist players to betatest M10 like they did for M9. However...it has to be done properly. In M9 we could not test the insignia bonuses for example and we couldn't really test the campaign itself due to time constraints. Also...seriously - why ask us to test things and then not bother to fix the stuff we reported? Some of the bugs reported in M9 testing are still present.

    Druids or bards are most likely...monks are a distant third.

    Anyhow...my main concern is that all the work required for M10 will mean that there will be no time left over to fix all the annoying current bugs.
