I don't know if there are posts about this elsewhere but meh.The new Gauntlgrym release. I think this sucks in a way..Why do we have to only be in a guild? What if we play alone? I mean the game is it not going to cater for solo players ? This is a let down and a half considering the game is really good. Some people who do play alone may go back to other gaming instead of NW..If a solo player can not play Gauntlgrym this means he/she can not further themselves in the game and be left way behind.

Just join a guild then or create one yourself , what's the big deal ?
+1 ... i totally agree, in addition to that. I DONT WANT TO PARTY WITH BOTS ! HAHA
And yes BOTS definately not was just wondering.
forever alone?
It's a MMO , just saying .
Again, it only makes sense this way in normally faction less mmo.
How hard is it to implement something like this in NW , so everyone and their dog can be happy lol ?
you are a close minded person. there are alot of MMORPG at its success now that have PVE and PVP together. its INNOVATION man! you better be the one who needs to think and research more.
Someone being close minded is a matter of perception. Unless you play a cleric you wouldn't exactly know the game from the point of view of one. I posted my opinion and used the word SEEMS (keyword). I don't state anything in certainties outside of my personal <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> class mechanics.
why play a cleric if you cant take the responsiblity?
and if its going to be PVP and PVE, for sure its going to be like 20 vs 20 or more.
if you are tired healing (if you are the only cleric around), why not have 10 clerics? is that a problem?
So you're solution to a cleric being overwhelmed in PvP is to just bring more of them...ok...If I'm closed minded you are just blatantly ignorant of class balance. It's ok. Like I said it SEEMS like a bad idea. I havn't seen it in action so I CAN'T know for sure. Some people are just too quick to jump on someone's <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Go take a pill or toke on a pipe of whatever you need to see things in a non-biased manner then feel free to comment on things you have no experience of. On the matter of responsibility. I have solo healed every tier 2 while most people have to resort to double stacking DC or expoits. Don't judge people rashly without knowing them.. Oh! wait this is America I forgot. How dare I expect constructive conversation.
lol you are the who started being conclusive regarding the idea. why cant you just shut your *** and wait for it til it comes?
Maybe they've tested already the changes on the PTR unlike you ?
Wow troll much? I'm not even going to bother feeding you anymore. What? Are you 15 or something...seriously kids these days...and yes I have tested considerably for DC anyways. I havn't really got around to my CW. However, my DC is my main and where my focus is aligned.
oh ok, and if you guys proved that is a huge mistake? so what now? big deal? then dont do gauntlgrym. not all of you doesnt like it, there are some who wants it too.
Ok, well unfortunately regardless of whatever imbalances arise from this next round of adjustments I will have to play it if I want to see the new content; which I do. I've always played healer and love the play-style (besides a two year stretch of warlock hotness towards the end of my WoW days) I don't have a choice not to play it so yea...
The OP was simply expressing his/her opinion and, if you'd look around the forums a bit, you will find there are many concerned with Gauntlgrym.
One concern is that is FORCES people to Guild when a lot of folks do not want to Guild. Another flaw is that people are going to drop out when a portion of the content they do not like comes along which hurts the rest of the team. There are more, but not necessary to rehash here to make a point. Also the OP did not say that he/she wouldn't try it, just that she had concerns.
In case you did not know, that is what the forum is for. Voicing concerns, discussing the game, making suggestions, etc.
For disclosure, I often tackle content solo (when I can) I find it more immersive and enjoyable. I do enjoy seeing others in town, and interacting through the auction house, etc. In an idealistic way, I wish that all content could be enjoyed by players of all playstyles, that restrictions such as those attached to Gauntlgrym did not exist. However, I'm sure that trying to achieve such an ideal is fraught with logistical problems.
It seems that the comprimise would be to generate content for different playstyles on as equal a basis as possible. I'm happy to give Cryptic the benefit of the doubt here, ultimately this is one of the most accessible online games out there. For those of us who enjoy immersive story and solo adventure in a living world, let us look forward to the upcoming module!
Full disclaimer: I saw many of the same arguments in the prior thread (it's an MMO, why do you play it if you don't want to play with people, etc.) but all of these fail because of the way the game is designed. You can play single-player the entirity of the game and if you don't want to PvP, you are never forced to do so... until Gauntlgrym. In fact, without being a member of a guild, you effectively are locked out of single-player content. That's never happened in this game before.
Even fuller disclaimer: After pointing out in the prior thread that I had no use for guilds, and several pointed out that there are ways to create a guild without joining one (although it's not as easy as it seems), I checked out the guild recruitment thread. Players had claimed that there are many guilds that put no requirements on you as a player at all, but I found that skeptical. It only took me a few minutes to find a recruitment post for such a guild, so I emailed the recruiter and told them directly that I had no use for the guild, would not be filling out any applications, visiting websites, signing up for anything, pledging to do anything for the guild, and that I only wanted to join in order to be able to play Gauntlgrym when it is released. I was made a member of the guild the next time I logged on. I am pleasantly surprised that there are guilds out there that require absolutely nothing of the members, if that is your desire. Even though the requirement still makes no sense at all to me, this is probably the best way around it if you are interested in this content.
Now I must get back to crafting many, many pairs of pants.
ya know that's what will happen
Foundry Search: Wanted: Hero Lil Chubs
I look at this content as guild specific which is not that bad......I like the idea of guild vs guild content. Pugging this would be a nightmare.......communication would be non-existent and people would get frustrated real quick.
Perhaps something that would allow a group of 5 friends to que up and join a faction could be implented? I'm in a guild so really doesn't bother me.....just throwing this out there.
LOL, this is completely off topic, but every time I read one of your posts I get this image of you sweating away at a loom with some Rumpelstiltskin character hovering over you cajoling you to work harder.
Agree with this and the OP. What got me and many others into this game in the first place was the ease of joining groups for whatever it is that you wished to accomplish. Yes, it's an mmo, but I assure you there are many players that do not wish to join a guild for a variety of reasons. Many people may wish to join a guild at some point, after spending time with a certain group that they get along with, but do not want to be rushed into this decision just to be able to access content.
I for one stopped playing nwn as soon as I read the note regarding mandatory guild grouping.
Just my 2c
It is a lot of work (crafting this many pairs of pants), but what will the citizens of Neverwinter do if I do not keep them in pants? Surely, we cannot have everyone pantsless.
In Neverwinter, I primarily duo with a guildie.
Neverwinter is the first game where I've actually enjoyed endgame content - PvP, skirmishes and dungeon-delving are fun. Also a plus that I can solo low-end dungeons.
But, one of the arguments I've never understood is the rant against not being able to play content you don't like to play or gain gear for content that you don't like to play.
If you don't PvP, you don't need PvP gear. If you don't like to form raids, you don't need raid gear. If you don't like to join guilds, don't play the guild-oriented content.
On the other hand, if you want to join a guild, probably easy enough to make friends to form a guild by playing PvP.
The guild I'm in, the O'Limpyans, is about as low key as can be. No requirements. We just have fun chatting and playing together whenever there's time available.
Gauntlgrym doesn't help players "further themeselves in the game". It's not going to level anyone beyond the 60 cap.
It's just another endgame activity for people who enjoy team PvP.
