@"noworries#8859" As someone who has played Neverwinter since before PvP was even implemented at all, I cast my vote (for what it's worth) for no companions of any kind in any PvP mode. Keep insignias, even keep mounts - but companion interactions in PvP are buggy and all over the map and are even worse now with the…

The Gith race will be free at first. Per the dev blog: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/11206373-developer-blog%3A-gith So.... if you want it for free, make sure to log in before the 5th week and you pay nothing. As far as it's value, I too am a little meh about new races. It's good they're adding…
-
I generally like the revamps, but I do personally dislike the change with regards to Wilfred. I think his death really set the tone for the game in a good way which made is reappearance as subsequent "freedom" a neat sort of easter egg in the game.

Then stick to the old gear since that will get you into the new trial (24k IL min is the requirement for that, at least currently anyway) unless that old gear can get you over the new caps. Mobs have 30K...
-
If you're using old equipment to get the % damage boost, but otherwise BiS for enchants and whatever, what's your IL sitting at?
-
I would agree completely though: Remove the max level on these and allow them to be upgraded. At the same time, please do the same for Loamweave and Brilliant Energy enchantment as well. I understand those two aren't intended to compete with other weapon and armor enchants, but given there's been TWO level cap increases…

Unless you find yourself leveling a brand new toon at some point

Tenser's disc IS the D&D equivalent of a hoverboard, so yay, you're wish is granted. If you want something less flashy, get that weird crab mount - the riding animation is more or less the same.

Has anyone here tried running Neverwinter on a Mac using Wine or VMWare Fusion? My work is considering forcing me onto an 8-core Macbook Pro i9 (I've been using top-end HP zbooks for years now). If they do, I'll be able to install a Windows 10 image under VMWare Fusion, but in my experience Fusion is good to a point…

Older SSDs did suffer from relatively short lifetimes, but the technology has come a long way over the last 10 years or so. A typical new SSD should have a lifespan that will significantly outlast that of your computer (measured in decades if not hundreds of years of average use), so unless you're doing some really intense…
-
Just a couple points here: You don't need to run dungeons to get AD. If you have alts, try instead running weeklies and RLQs (random levelling queues) for AD. You can only refine 100k a day max account-wide now anyway, so it's actually not that hard to get to the limit especially if you have alts - no DDs required. You do…

@terramak note on "Glorious Enchantment and Greycloak's Insignia now have an item level of 8." -- the game actually incorrectly uses the spelling "graycloak" instead of the lore-accurate spelling "Greycloak" - that's always bugged me :)
-
Let PvP rot away? PvP was never very good in NW, just like it was never any good in STO or CO. Cryptic has always done a poor job of implementing PvP... why? Because their games are PvE focused. If you think PvP is the endgame, then frankly you've misinterpreted Neverwinter pretty much completely. You're not wrong that PvP…
-
They're trolling the NW forum trolls. Just read the description under that assumption and it's spot on... :)
-
The old campaigns are not totally worthless anymore: See Challenge Campaigns and the rewards from Sybella Artis for doing those. Consider starting another character and challenging yourself to level all the way up without any help from your other characters. Consider working the Bug Reports forum and spending time…

I'm a CW running an Arcanist build and I use an augment companion. At that time, I was still using my level 70 gear loadout (I might have switch out for higher level rings... can't remember). I recall in beta, the Arcturia fight caused me problems, but I didn't have any issues at all with it on Live. All the adds make that…
-
Oh, well in that case: I think, aside from obvious bugs - Cryptic was entirely on the right track with m16. I personally like that they trashed all the waste of code extra feats and powers that were only used by people that didn't know any better. Truth is, they could remove half of what's there NOW (as of m16) and hardly…
-
Why would anyone seriously think they would roll back to an earlier version? That's just silly. Of course that's off the table and anyone that would ask that in a serious way is off their rocker. My personal nitpick, since that's clearly what this thread is about: Immolation Spirits. OMG, Warlocks just HAMSTER those out…
-
The vampire fight (Keresta Delvingstone) at the very end just before the shadow dragon is the hardest fight in the entire campaign. In fact, it's the only one that legit killed me (other deaths were more me not paying full attention... aka watching netflix on other monitor). Normally, NW isn't challenging enough to demand…
-
aside: But flat earthers ARE trolls, alongside moon hoaxers and anti-health ... er... vaccination ppl... Too bad the EULA can't ban ignorance.

One other bit of news - the Cloaks have merged with Ancient Spirits and the result is a new Cloak guild called Spiritcloaks. They were already a member of the Tredecim and we welcome them to the Cloak family. There's plenty of room in Spiritcloaks for new members, and at the moment still a few slots left in Blackcloaks. PM…
-
@phoenixblue00 - Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town for work and must have missed this request. Looks like you already found a guild, if that's the Cloaks, awesome - if not, that's cool - let me know if you want to switch!
-
The main issue with giving viable rewards was authors would intentionally make foundry quests that qualified for rewards but required a very minimum amount of effort, thus allowing easy farming beyond what they felt was acceptable. Cryptic found it impossible to balance those things, which is too bad. Couple that with the…
-
Yeah, just a small UI bug. This happens most often when you get the power point and open the character sheet power window right away (like before you close the reward dialog). You can just close the character window and reopen it (which is what you did apparently), or just click over to the feats tab then back to the…
-
LOL well I sure hope so, I posted that in November 2018 :)
-
As they introduce stronger gear, you will get stronger. End game Mobs will have higher thresholds vs your opposed roles which means you will need to improve stats to counter that, and subsequent modules will introduce new challenges, and new gear, more boon points, etc. There are no opposed roles vs HP and Power (though I…
-
LOL yeah, the other one, but was thinking about that one posting here too - my response applies to both since they're both just HAMSTER and moan threads anyway.
-
Part of any product lifecycle is focus group testing. You incubate an idea internally until you have a viable prototype, then you open it up to a small focus group for testing and feedback, then you open it up to a larger group (or possibly public beta, as Cryptic does) for additional feedback. All the while, you take…
-
Keep in mind, we had hundreds of possible HAMSTER builds per class and maybe 1 or 2 actual viable builds so despite all the so-called "options" most players had cookie cutter builds anyway because that's how it needed to be to have a viable end-game character (or because with so many random options it was hard to know what…
-
I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that the devs are listening very closely and taking all valid criticism and input seriously. What they're not doing is responding to every little nitpick and personal want-list item, especially when said nitpick or item includes insults, rants, raves, moans, groans, or otherwise 3…
