Quick question though? Any raise on level cap soon? With the climb being more of a challenge? Also, I hate to be a bother, but an archer class would be awesome
Still love the game though, keep it up!
OMG!! I was wondering if I was the only one having flashbacks to City of Heroes/Villains about Redcaps! hehe.. I wonder if Cryptic can implement a open world boss raid ... you know.. something similar to a ... HAMMY RAID !!!!!
"we’re introducing lots of level interactivity that will require players to remain mobile" Well the game mechanics in Neverwinter dont allow you to be mobile unless you are using dodge or you will just be walking without be able to do anything which is not fun. A good free experience is Guild Wars 2, there you can be mobile.
Then I sometimes wonder when I read: "One of the primary pieces of feedback we’ve received from players is that they want to visit areas that are completely and totally different from what they’ve seen before." that maybe true, players always like new stuff but is their first priority on what they want? Because I honestly thing that Perfect World doesnt listen to the players that much. You are rushing new content when the basic stuff such are half bugged.
You probably dont listen to the part when people complain about skill bugs, passives not working, lag issues some times, etc right?
First fix your game please then add content.
Now in suggestions for improvements on my point of view:
- Allow cast on walk for any ranged At-Will skill without cast time.
- Fix the PvP queue on lv60 to consider Gear Score.
- New PvP map(s) with some new mechanics. (Gauntlgrym doesnt count since its a total mess and people that just want to pvp are not into having to wait 4 hours or do the same event over and over again).
- Maybe a Rank system for PvP? Well needs some balance atm though.
- Add a global (not zone) trade chat to stop the spam at Prospectors Enclave.
- Make team chats for Gauntlgrym and fix the massive lag. How can we do team strategies when we are all in the same map using the same chat?
- Have Gauntlgrym queues be at the beguining so you have the 20 vs 20 since the start and dont have issues with PvP queues in the end. After doing Gauntlgrym twice I never managed to do PvP even if I wanted.
There are so many things that could be done to this game to make it awesome, but for some reason whatever you do it just feels more of the same.
Other than that, I like what I'm reading.
As for the announcement, I agree that no class info (*ahem* Rangers) kinda stinks.
And what are these shenanigans with "Sun" elves and "Moon" elves? Just call them all Eladrin so you can introduce the term, then, if you really want to get technical with character creation, make the distinction then. The character that introduced Quorthon, the spell-plagued wizrd in The Chasm, referred to him as an Eladrin in the voice over, but the text read "Sun Elf." Don't shy away from it. Own it!
EDIT: To malkvianite: Don't call an Eladrin "just another elf race" to his face. He might sternly glare at you in disgust...or throw a fireball.
I'm happy that we're going to get some new looks, and the campaign system sounds intriguing.
What I would like even more, however, would be some effort in finishing what feels like unfinished code - the training tomes, paragon paths - not to mention all the bugs and exploits that directly or indirectly hurt the game.
you do understand that its different departments work on different things. they have people that put out new content and this is content thats been in the works probably since closed beta.... and then there are people that work on bug fixes... so they can do BOTH at the same time.
I agree there are plenty of races to choose from already especially since Drow ins't released to the general public yet.
So looks like Sun and Moon elves along with Drow for Module 1.
New classes are really needed.

I feel your pain regarding no gnomes. Gnome illusionist has been my favorite race/class combo in every iteration since AD&D. Hopefully we'll get them eventually, but I suspect there are a lot of other things will be added before the little bearded fellows.
/keeping fingers crossed though
The new class is coming with Module 1 (Fury of the Feywild). This was confirmed by the german community manager 'Anachronex' in the german live stream on twitch (6/20/2013). New paragon paths, or at least one new for every class will be highly likely added also with Module 1.
Let's also cut to the quick - dragon born would be a difficult race to add. If you look at present races they are *all* resized humans using the Cryptic character edit deal. This becomes most (painfully) obvious when looking at Tieflings. The horns clip into their heads and are not in any way molded to them.
This tells us that all armor/etc. in the game is probably modeled to fit around a base skeleton/rig that deforms around the base body type or types.
Aka - they took the easy way out and it will be a ton easier to make boring humanoid races over and over (elves of all varieties, half-this, half-that, etc.) than anything vaguely non-humanoid. The least humanoid thing now is just humans with horns clipping into their head awkwardly and just looks so painfully tacky for a full-on 'race'. It was acceptable in a game like Champions with all that you could make, but not in this case.
-Mentoring system
-More guild stuff. We are on guild bank 3 number 4 cost 600K AD, and no one can donate AD to guild bank.
-More armor/weapon selection for lower levels
-More classes, I know we need the two coming, but another type of Tank and Healer I hope is next.
-Housing/Guild halls this is just a dream for me and should be way down the road, once bugs and stuff fixed, BUT I WANT SOME GUILD HALLS!!!!
Thats just a few things I want, looking forward to the module 1!!!! Keep up the good work and please bring a mentoring system some day.
I thought the Sun and Moon Elves were subraces of the Eladrin; weren't the Eladrin named High Elves?
Eladrin(High Elves) - Sun, Moon, and Star
Elf - Wood, Wild
This. Ranger anytime soon?
Your argument that Dragonborn are more of a "core" race in 4E because they appear in PH1, while gnomes don't show up until PH2 makes some sense. However, I will point out that gnomes have been a part of every iteration of D&D from AD&D through the current 4E rule set. Dragonborn didn't even exist in the first 3 iterations (4 if you count Basic D&D as separate from AD&D), and were a fairly late addition to 3.5. Thus, I suspect that gnomes may have more devout following (myself, admittedly, included). Ultimately, they will add the races based on two things: 1) how easy they are to implement, and 2) how popular will they be with the player base.
My vote is for the little bearded fellow hurling illusions.
Please don't make it trickster rogue online, add something to do for support and aoe classes! I would hate being forced to spec my new CW into some sort of ranger/warlock and my cleric into a passive heal bot just looking at the ground and only taking care of HP bars.
