Something BIG for Module 6

mehsybill · September 2014

Neverwinter's Lead Designer Chris Matz talked about future plans with Lore Hound:

Well, just on the horizon looms the conclusion of the Tyranny of Dragons storyline in Module 5, with a visit from a particularly powerful enemy you may have heard of before. Beyond that, we’ve got lots of plans, and have been working closely with Wizards of the Coast to see where we’re going to take the story. We plan to keep adding more gear, more dungeons, more classes, more races, and more adventures. We are planning on something BIG for Module 6, but we’ll have more news to share on that front later – after the conclusion of Module 5!

You can find more infos here.

Szass Tam?
Edit: Ah thought the familiar enemy was for mod 6. Unless they edited it.

I really hope it's something BIG that will change the game

bardaaron · September 2014

I am guessing the "Enemy" they mention will be Tiamat, Sammaster, or both.

Other than that, it seemed pretty self-congratulatory. Any other subject than "everything is great" (things in the future, the foundry, etc) was just using a lot of words to say...virtually nothing.

Would've thought tiamat would be the mod 5 boss.

I hope, Tiamat for a 16K Dungeon and I would be happy.

* Note: for the ppl that will complaing about, "omg, 16k isn't the average GS, why would devs worry about them", well... because Tiamat is a dam epic godly dragon, he can't be downgraded to trash just because average ppl want to kill him, I wan't epic PvE content in this game that make u feel epic, I hope too that there will be something like that sometime.

Tarasque? - . -

bardaaron · September 2014

Yeah, Mod 4 is out now, Mod 5 is, I am sure, heavily under production, and they are "talking about" mod 6. And by talking about, I mean hinting "there will be something really cool!" without giving us ANYTHING to go on. They haven't even told us anything about Mod 5 yet, besides that it will conclude the ToD storyline. (and yeah, I was thinking Tiamat/Sammaster for mod 5 not mod 6, sorry. Forgot for a minute that we were talking about 2 different future modules)

However, since I have abandoned ToD, the official content for mod 5 means nothing to me. I am really only interested in what bugs they fix, and whether they add anything to the Foundry. I hope they do.

Something "BIG"...

Waterdeep? With Undermountain?

Once you get that far south, though, you're leaving the "Neverwinter-ness" of the game.

A tarrasque fight would likely melt the server and every player's PC; you'd need a hundred players or more just to stand a chance! It's sort of like what Douglas Adams wrote about space: it's big, really, big, unbelievably big, ... A tarrasque could swat rocs aside like butterflies and eat Tolkien's oliphaunts whole. It's THAT big.

Unfortunately all of the really epic or classic places aren't in Abeir-Toril:

A1 - Slave Pits of the Undercity -- Greyhawk
S1 - Tomb of Horrors -- Greyhawk
S2 - White Plume Mountain -- Greyhawk
S3 - Expedition to the Barrier Peaks -- Greyhawk
T1-4 Temple of Elemental Evil -- Greyhawk

B1 - In Search of the Unknown -- Mystara
B2 - Keep on the Borderlands -- Mystara
B3 - Palace of the Silver Princess -- Mystara
X2 - Castle Amber -- Mystara

Even Q1 - Queen of the Demonweb Pits is in Greyhawk. Generally speaking all of the really classic modules are either in Greyhawk (AD&D) or Mystara(BX).

Unfortunately I have little knowledge of Forgotten Realms lore. What might exist in FR that could fit the bill?

Edit -- Not Oerth, Mystara! Greyhawk is in Oerth.

As long as it's not another boon grind I'll be happy.

cheesegromit · September 2014

I'd like to get exciting but I'm jaded from how overhyped so much stuff is in the gaming industry

So far, I can't really feel there is a storyline, at least not a solid one. The quests which the NPC's of Tyranny of Dragons give us don't feel like they are linked well. We are still hearing those NPC's say: "bla bla bla this and that so go to kill 5 HAMSTER and retrieve 5 HAMSTER".

Usually a storyline needs to be solid, linked, and touching/impressive, and goes together with serious contents. That makes players feel they are really experiencing an epic story themselves.

zshikara · September 2014

I am excited for the future of this game. I know I'll still be playing a year or two from now. hehe.

I would like to be able to fight tiamat as well.

OMFG, I'd have a nerdgasm if I could actually go to waterdeep and see undermountain.

Like you said --> I believe it is Tiamat, because it appeared on Tyranny of Dragon's Trailer

Here is the trailer link on Youtube:

Though we might have Valindra back since her Phylactery was not destroyed
I agree fighting Tiamat would be so cool

Other than that ... it is cool to know that the devs have started on the next module as well as the overhaul of TR & DC

That golden whip looks cool. I always want to play a class which uses whip. But there doesn't seem to be such a class in D&D. Is the whip user in the video a new class or something?

The golden whip seems to be a conjured weapon that it can disappear and re-appear.

ryonas · September 2014

That is Celeste a cleric .. though I would guess that is supposedly chains of binding encounter they got on trailer

lol the hell..

Why is Knox a GF in that video, he's normally a GWF.

It is normal because Sergeant Knox is a Paladin but the Devs split them into GWF & GF

Also you should say it the knox way .. What in the Nine Hells

I really want more, fun and interesting pvp game types

rashylewizz · September 2014

Something BIG should only be 10-man and 15-man raids with guaranteed BIS tradeable loot or something along the lines of a new massive PVP mode.

Anything other than that is a big letdown

bardaaron · September 2014

I want big Foundry updates so we can make bigger and better quests that more people want to play. There needs to be a much better incentive for people to play them, and an incentive (any incentive will do) for them to actually spend some time working on it.

ulviel · September 2014

Somehow, I don't feel excited at all. More stuff = more mess. And yeah, foundry needs a lot of love.

hfgtfsdfs · September 2014

I'm guessing they gonna release something equally frustrating as the RNG game we play now with the artifact weapons.

Doing my 4th artifact weapon now hoping I get the one I want and need. So far I spent like 3m on 9000 RP because that's what I can do with the sucky weapons I don't want or need. Feels so fantastic to play NW sometimes.

This pretty much. A foundry update big enough to make it what should have been from the start.

Sorry that is how RNG works. I did over 100 runs of Epic TOS back in the day and never got my chest. I pulled the artifact weapon I wanted the first go round.

Not to be terse but do you really need to keep posting this in other threads.

I am looking forward to what is in store for us. I also realize they do not always have a say when certain stuff has to come out, but are told this has to be release on a certain date. Make it happen.

Does that mean ...
Paladin is a GWF/GF --> HYBRID Tank/DPS

OH WAIT ! FIRST ! GWF changes.

burkaanc · September 2014

if paladin then please ardent or avenging, we have enough sissies in their robes, with their sticks and toothpicks

wouldnt really mind if they made GWF's in paladins, though i really doubt it

but mod 6 should have had a new class anyway, and, sadly, based on IWD im afraid it will be the hippie treehugger

Nah. Not a new class before GWF changes. If they make a Paladin, like an hybrid tank/dps or heal/dps or tank/heal, be sure I'll cry if there are no changes for GWF.

I'd rather new things like new paragons, possibilities to complete all the heroïcs feats, or even new Trees about the races, than one more class.

hefisdo · September 2014

I hope it's not a BIG disappointment.

I expect more classes or more paragon paths... I really don't know what it could be.

midnightfang93 · September 2014

I want a giant mimic that eats everyone that walks by.

I completely agree.

Something BIG for Module 6
