Rage of Bel - delayed?

matii · April 2020

Everyone knows the situation around the world and how it affects us, but we don't really know how it affects Cryptic.

A new path for Neverwinter (roadmap) was introduced some time ago, with the first step making Neverwinter great again, called "Rage of Bel".
Based on the image, it is targeted to the second week of April, which is now, but we have not yet received any information, no previews for testing.
It worries me and others.

It would be nice if we received some information @terramak @cwhitesidedev#9752

From the way they were saying it on the livestreams I would not really expect the episodes to end up on preview for testing. Well no more than the standard testing that we normally get for patches, maybe the Friday before it goes live. But with owlbear being gone for the past few weeks from the normal list of servers, it could be it is being tested there now, I do not know. Either that is on the trial from the next mod is being tested there.

Hi Matii,

I will do a stream with Julia maybe next week to talk about how we are doing although i did talk to this on a twitch stream with @greyhastur last week. Basically Episode 1 is delayed by 3 weeks currently. Note that we are currently measuring our work rate in regard to the new logisitical paradigm we are in. The team is doing well but as i have said in the past quality comes first and therefore our dates are intent. Also note that as per community conversation there will not be previews for episodes. Only Mod specific content unless there is a special reason to do so (We want the Episodes to be exciting and surprising for everyone... and yes at some point that means we would like platform parity).

Thanks for reaching out.

Chris

I feel good knowing that my long standing prejudice that people working from home are less productive is validated

I don't know what you're talking about, everywhere I look people are being productive at home. They are cleaning their gutters, getting ready for spring, programming bots for their computers that chase screen savers (and the away notifications for corporate trackers). Extremely productive...at what they aren't supposed to be doing

On a more serious side, @cwhitesidedev#9752 In the past you guys do a stream that is painful relay info through. Is there any chance following the streams a summary could be posted about what was on the stream? In our guild we have had references in the past and searching through 3-5 hour long streams for one small piece of info that "got said last month" can be aggravating.

I just watched the twitch stream. I suggest considering running The Day of the Dungeon Master Event.

The Beholder Tank is now the 2nd rarest Legendary mount (next only to the ultra-rare Champion's Armored Bulette ).

Veterans and new players would want it as a drop.

With the same droprate as always?
I swear, if I have to watch somebody else get it and lose their HAMSTER right next to me AGAIN I will start roasting chicken over the PE campfire.

Where can you see this? Was there anything new regarding next mod?

I wonder what the “healer changes” mentioned on another thread would be - anything announced so far?

Rage of Bel - delayed?
