[PC] Announcing Storm King's Thunder: Sea of Moving Ice

weaver936 · September 2016

I hope the content requires or at least rewards the use of Relic Gear... otherwise.. there was no point to any of it.. lol. I'm really sick of people trying to dumb things down so they can feel equal to people that bust their butts to get something worth having. Not that achievements in game make people worth any more than others.. but.. for some reason.. people tend think it does... whether the Elitist types.. or the types that call serious gamers "elitist"... there IS a middle ground

Could @strumslinger or another official comment on the meaning of "last" in this context. It could've meant the last expansion we've had--if it were already out.... Latest would have made more sense, unless of course....

This was your last post. Get it now?

If not, look below.

Fear not! I can assure you that Storm King's Thunder: Sea of Moving Ice is not our final expansion. I can confirm; however, that Storm King's Thunder (otherwise known as Module 10) was our latest expansion. Homonyms are fun. I'll let Randy know that the last time he used the word "last" should be the last time, otherwise there may be confusion.

So.. A sea of moving ice. Is there an EF requirement? Tell me now so I don't get my hopes up. The gear isn't something I need for anything else and the grind is insanity.. the game is easy enough as it is without this new 'uber' grindtastic gear.

As the Sea of Moving Ice is a new adventure zone there is no everfrost resistance requirement to enter the zone. However, the sea is a level 73 area, so expect enemies to be tougher, and by the product of their increased damage, also dish out increased everfrost damage.

For those curious about the everfrost resistance requirement on the upcoming trial, we'll be announcing details soon. I can say that if you already have the required everfrost resistance for Fangbreaker Island, you won't have much to worry about.

Can we please drop the Heroic Encounters out of these expansions and get back to skirmishes and more dungeons? Thanks for bringing out more content none-the-less.

So, did you guys really make Relic Gear unneccessary for SKT content? really? Already people are running with non- EF Resist gear in FBI and making it through....

HE's are a good way for undergeared (and people without some essential campaign boons) players to get what they
need from new content and help them gt the other campaigns done faster... I'd rather they be just one of 20 people zerging HE's than they be one of 5 people needing to be dragged through Skirm/Dung... -.-

Don't like HE's? Then just watch a movie while barely trying in the HE's like a lot of people do.. lol

One part of announcement was upsetting, really ?

While headway was been made tracking down the stolen ring, it was not without consequences. Makos, tiefling wizard and beloved hero of Neverwinter, perished at the hands of the frost giants of Fangbreaker Island. His death was mourned, but his sacrifice strengthened the resolve of our heroes to recover the ring and end the war with the frost giants once and for all.

Hm... nothing new. Just another support classes nerf and another "fun": " is a level 73 area, so expect enemies to be tougher, and by the product of their increased damage, also dish out increased everfrost damage" to support classe at dailies. Do quests become more pointless with support class.
Also all those bind to char reward ...:Another case to consider: worth it to play multiple alts or not play at all.

As i see all new content become more and more alt and support classes "friendly"... ©

I know that there is those that hate HE's and I am one of them after having to farm motes for the weapons in EE due to a glitch that removed my elemental weapons, the level 70 offhand and main hand poofed one day several months back and I never got them back. I gave up grinding motes on my main due to the fact that could do 30 HEs and get 2 motes. I gave up trying to farm Linu's Favor, think that is what its called looks like a dragon scale triangle, due to WoD almost impossible to get a group when my guild mates are offline or to low level to help. I am only doing the new content to get the boons and to complete what I can in the campaign this is mainly due to word of mouth that it is not worth it to get the new gear same on the black ice gear I have never got it on one of my characters and think that the highest gear I have on a few is dusk set and only due to luck being with me on opening a few crates with keys and getting jackpots for bars. I hate naming games in anothers forum but grinding is one of the main reasons that I left DDO the other was greed on the developers part, sadly seeing it happen here similar to there with Mod 10 slowly but....it is happening even my 15 year old is seeing it when she plays

panteleelee · October 2016

Can u remove the EF resi from FBI pls?
No point to pay AD for vip to get armor for play a dungeon rly annoying...if i going to dungeon and die all the time its my problem not yours PW...
Get the game better no failure...

sockmunkey · October 2016

Makos isnt dead. He is just waiting for his Zax offer to process so he can buy some Scrolls of life.

Does that mean we will have to have relic armor to get in the new raid? If we're unlucky and don't get a boots drop from the HEs and don't get into FBI are we locked out from completing the campaign?

You won't need to complete Fangbreaker Island or obtain any relic armor from therein to challenge Assault on Svardborg's normal difficulty. In order to challenge Assault on Svardborg (Master) you'll need to have completed Fangbreaker Island, and having a few relic pieces will be a significant boon.

So @asterdahl , I take it you expect Assault on Svardbold (Master) to be pretty empty for a long time...apart from the few groups who have been speed running Fangbreaker Island for the past few weeks ?

beckylunatic · October 2016

There seem to be quite a lot of folks who've completed it out of curiosity at least once.

cromejohnsen · October 2016

I can already see how it is going. You guys are going to set a lot of pre enter conditions ( EF resistance etc. ) Guess what? Everyone enters ist with EF gear on and then unequip it because it totally **** before you actually get it empowered to ilvl 160.
The same thing that everyone is doing in FBI will probably also apply to Svardborg master. You are just going to make a lot of people angry with the FBI condition.
