Where's the T3?

I figured T3 gear would be available in the upcoming Fury of the Feywild module and was surprised that it's just more t1/t2. What is the point of adding new content if you can't get better gear? I think there should be a constant progression of increasing difficulty with each new dungeon/module added (should have been done w/ Gauntylgrym). Thoughts???

My opinions are my own, and do not represent those of Perfect World Entertainment, or Cryptic Studios

-Armor with a better set bonus for each each spec for classes
- 2 stat very rare jewelry
- Very rare belts with offensive slots
- gear sets built for companions (icon neck ring sets, etc)
Stuff you might want even if you have best in slot gear right now.
If this stuff ends up pure side grades to existing gear, it might be a very unexciting dungeon.
This kind of statement always makes me foam at the mouth. The incentive to do the dungeons is because you like playing the damned game.
Grow up. Even adventurers do it for the loot sometimes.
what is enjoyable about endgame content besides the loot? interesting boss fight mechanics?
Or they could just give said Kobolds actual game mechanics which would be a skill check rather than a run around with adds check.
It would be a colossal screw up to cap gear progression before a game is even launched. Just saying. Character progression is an intrinsic part of any game with an exp bar. The passive buff portion of the new module rewards looks interesting too. Maybe the designers realized scores of players basically have all their stats at diminishing returns.
There needs to be something to do besides gear each new class that gets released with the items that have been in game since May and earlier.
Or they just have class levels...
One nice thing about the DnD universe is that it's almost impossible to run out of foes. Unless your DM lets you hit max level in 20 hours of Foundry spam and puts out dungeon maps with hilarious bugs.
Cryptic has a great opportunity to add both paragon paths and t1/t2 sets directed at each possible spec. Improve/Fix current sets to support the different trees and add more sets as more paths come out. Customization increases tremendously, content gets run by treasure seekers, AND average power levels stay reasonably constant.
Both player and environment scale though, Environment being scaled first and then gear continually scaling the player up equally or past the environment. Example a new dungeon comes out the bosses are all hard (jokes its Neverwinter... cough nevemind i'll continue) the players have a hard time due to the previous gear they are wearing, they slowly progress through gaining more gear and hence gaining more boss kills, this repeats over and over until they release Hard Modes for the same bosses or an entirely new Dungeon tier with gear.
Many people label this the "Gear Treadmill" and say its boring blah blah, but guess what, most of the people who are raiding ENJOY THIS.. people love the feeling of finally killing a boss you and your mates have been working/gearing towards for a long time... it's fun! And the casual players can achieve the same thing but just in a longer time period/non Hard Mode version.
THIS.. so many new MMO's I have gone to, big example GW2 (and neverwinter) have all tried to revolutionise something they thought was a problem when in fact it is a major attention grabber at max level "Progression" ... as much HAMSTER as they give this said term there is a tonne of people who love it.
I quit WoW after 7 years to go to GW2, hit max level, got all the gear in about a week.. nothing else to do so I spent a month farming endlessly to get my Legendary Twilight, it was totally worth all that time and effort for something that felt literally legendary and only 1 other person on my server had another legendary as well, but after that again there was nothing more to do so I quit.
Gear treadmill/progression is what keeps a whole lot of players involved in an MMO
I don't make alts. I will likely play just my GF until either I quit NW or another leveling path comes out because repeating quests drives me a bit nuts. I don't care about new races or classes usually.
I just want more encounters to defeat but they need appropriate rewards.
What boss are you struggling on?
I literally found none of the dungeons difficult at all until halfway through Spellplague caverns, but after doing a few attempts we found we could aggro only the bosses spawned adds and not the whole room, it became easy after that, and no we weren't geared.
So you have full rank 10 and perfect enchantments on you and your companion?
Alkuzar, Level 60 12k+ GS Control Wizard
A surprising number of people seemed to achieve large amounts of completely legitimate perfects at once, around the time of the AH and duping bugs, especially people in teen angst PvP guilds. Since they're gear capped, the only things they can do for progression are upping the trolling and exploiting
I really wonder what will happen when that character progression leads to godhood. I realized that after killing a black dragon at level 43 which also makes it possible to run out of foes if you're wasting them that quick. I guess level 60 means something like DnD (3.5 edition) 30+ epic levels. Then comes divine levels... I have no idea about 4th edition (which is a big failure) but I know that in FR and DnD , to kill an adult black dragon you have to be so close to the limits of your mortal powers and it's a limit you can't pass without having divine levels. Which is impossible in this game.
Also I'm used to mmos where we try to get gear for pvp. Here I feel like i'm fighting for gear only to get a chance for a better gear. It's going to get really boring for me after a while. I'm having much more fun while using my gear on real people not on npcs. Instead of a t3 I'd love to have a pvp based content like guild or faction wars with ranks and achievements. But I guess I'm alone.
I understand that its unlikely you know much about the edition that NW is based on. Even in the earlier edition (3.5) however, you did not need to be close to max level to kill an adult black dragon. Unless FR dragons are significantly different, a party above level 10 would have a shot at killing one. Divine levels only start being an option after Epic levels, which you start hitting post level 20.
I'd guess that level 60 in the game isn't even equivalent to level 20 in 3.5. Possibly even lower.
There is no armor equivalent of the ancient weapons from CN. Not exactly sure what you are referring to?
