Hi, maybe I am misreading information. Is the patch next week getting rid of our lvl 80 characters and replacing them with a new leveling system that is max lvl 20? What about gear? I have also heard some campaigns ect. will be gone. Any info would be much appreciated. I tried Google and it was not my friend. Thanks again. I am a bit concerned as I have around a dozen toons. Most lvl 80 with great gear.

    Max level drops from 80 to 20 without any noticeable effects on gameplay. Gear doesn't change. Unless the patch breaks something (it will; it always does).

    Tyranny is being rolled into the Well only. You can find a listing in the forums of the zones that are being flushed.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    What has most players upset is content removal shrouded by the level 20 squish. I played the new game preview, I will be back in October to give all my stuff away. I figure anyone still playing by then is more loyal to the studio than I am.

    Have fun! <3</p>

    Have you played on the test server to even see how the new changes work? I think its a little premature to just throw in the towel even before the changes have gone live. From what I have experienced gameplay is essentially the same. Seriously, how much time did you spend in Black Lake, Helm's Hold, Mt Hotenow the Tower District and Pirate's Skyhold as an end game player? Those places gone really do not create and real issues. Admittedly I never got a reply concerning some of the legacy campaigns and their dependence on some of these areas, but in most cases they already created their own instance (job fair, for one example of this in Acquisitions Inc it uses Black Lake but not the standard Black Lake for the rest of the campaign. I can understand those that bought level boosters being a little upset, but hey MMOs change constantly, That boost reallly is more of an endgame boost getting you to be and endgame player sooner irrespective of level.

    All they was change an 80 to read 20, changed that XP is no longer the means for levelling, Provide decent gear as rewards for quest/area completion to help new players be ready to start end game (read start legacy campaigns and gear farming) sooner ,,,,maybe 1-3 days as opposed to 1-2 weeks to get to level 80.

    The Bard looks like an interesting addition and I look forward to seeing the mechanics with the PS4 version as that is how I normally play....keyboard maneuvering on PC for me is very difficult and have not been able to get a PS4 controller to work properly with my PC.

    Some of the events will be interesting as they unfold next year with the new changes (how many did merchant escorts in Black Lake during Jubilee?

    She did and had her earlier posting about that. And her better half also wrote something here explaining why she moved on too. I am not saying I agree/disagree with her. Everyone has their own preference and opinion.

    btw: I hope they will not launch the new mod too soon. What is on preview now is obviously broken - lacking for example any access to both legacy campaigns or the new masterwork tier...

    Yes, if you click her signature you get her manifesto. However it is nowhere near as good of a read as Ted Kaczynski's. :trollface:

    It is very noticeable that the game has lost a LOT of the experienced players. There are also very few Neverwinter content creators left. The maintenance level of the Neverwinter Wiki is.. unsatisfactory.
    ...

    I just noticed the wiki went from Gamepedia to Fandom or is that still the same ball of string? Most game wikis are also supported and worked on by staff members and developers, but not Cryptic's wikis they are 100% user supported. From the looks of it, user Smithjam is the 1 user in that 100%. :trollface:

    On the brighter side, you have a wiki, Champions Online wiki is a html 404 error.

    Just killing time...

    God help anybody who actually still plays this game, that recent combat overhaul is what killed the game for me.
