Hey everybody!

By now you've probably seen our Balance and Gameplay Update that will be going up on the NeverwinterPreview shard when it becomes available, and soon, to the Open Beta servers. Please use this thread to let us know what you think about the changes!

Thanks! :)

    First!

    No, I'm just kidding.

    Audio in foundry quests is a good thing. Also, not listed in the Foundry section, but highly relevant to many foundry quests, I am sure:

    "Quest flavor text now properly has a scrollbar when it overflows the Journal UI."

    This is also a good thing.

    haha my thread also got closed :D,

    But yeah awsome free respec tokens, i feel this is a sign of good faith from cryptic towards the cmmunity, and reinforces the idee of a beta. And this was very much desired.

    Keep up the good work guys, much apreciated.

    I'm just curious on when the cut off to purchase founders packs will be.

    I've been working on getting the money together to get a Hero of the North pack.

    "Shocking Execution: The base damage of this power has been reduced by 60%."
    Like it so much. No more 1 hit = 1 kill in PVP.

    Lots of good stuff in there, with "The "Need" button is now disabled for items your class cannot use." standing out as something that will solve a lot of the community conflicts.

    Many, many good changes. Really looking forward to testing this on the Test Shard. :)
    Unsure about skills and feats? Check the Master List of Class Builds!

    Yessssssssssss!

    On a side note, I've read that the cleric threat problem isn't the fact that there's too much threat, but the fact that threat it generated immediately on spawning adds due to constant heals. Will this new update keep newly spawned adds from chasing clerics around during the entire boss fight? Or does it do nothing?

    All of it looks good!!!! CW/TR's got a slight nerf, GF and GWF got a decent buff!! Healing threat was balanced out and AS was properly fixed.

    Good job all around, think I'll enjoy this on all my toons!

    Overall, I see some great changes that were needed.
    Always Show Map Transfer" have been removed.

    Why?

    Also, I don't see some achievement fixes listed, like being able to see all achievement categories in the UI or being able to complete the achievement for exploring Icespire Peak.

    Also no mention of the Lizardfolk War Visage being invisible, or more importantly not all of the exploits for dungeons seem to be mentioned as fixed.

    lil' disapointed, was hoping for shield talent to be fixed at least.
    Also had my hopes up for a GF tab power and mark mechanic rework. Marks getting removed on a single hit is still as silly as ever.

    Woot!
    And the companions will actually be a bit tougher, but will their AI improve? I'd really like to level and use the panther.

    So rogues have our best move nerfed for PVE just to satisfy all the big bad tin-can wearing classes in PvP? Seems like every time I save someone's behind with a backstab, I hear them whining about how we're OP because of our flashy animations *insert eye rolling animation here* Can't say I didn't see it coming.

    At least bleeds are supposedly fixed.

    And yay for class-based Need!

    Sure wish the recently dead debuff could still be removed by cleanse. That debuff is just annoying. At least make it removable by a campfire. Instant removal. If you're in a campfire, you have died. No need for it to be there. Having to wait however long to go back in sucks.

    Also, class-based need. The only thing wrong with this is that someone might roll need on it, but not need it. They just want it to sell it. Hopefully it will balance out. I hate going in to a dungeon and only wizard loot drops. It's bad enough when you run dungeon delves and get all blue drops. There should be other things, like dragon eggs or assets, that have a chance to drop. These blues that no one can use or sell on the ah really make delves feel like a big waste of time.
    TL : DR? Then don't waste my time responding.

    With the GWF encounter CD reduction, we might be able to keep our Avatar of War Set bonus active constantly.

    I hope the nerfs were not based on PVP feed back...last I checked this is a PVE game with a PVP component. (mind you I enjoy PVP, just hate when one ruins the other)

    +1 to the need item fix

    +1 to everything else

    -1 where is mah ranger...!!!!?????

    Can you clear the community confusion on the Tier 1 and Tier 2 in Gauntlgrym? Is it the same Tier 1 and Tier 2 already out in Epic Dungeons or is it a new "Raid" Tier 1 and Tier 2 that is better then the current Tier 1 and Tier 2?
