    I'm really happy you made this video. When you have other content creators as big as you who sit on the fence about this sort of stuff like Aragon, we will never get actual change as the game's development is being prioritised on trivial matters which will kill it off for good.
    I doubt this will do much sadly, because as you said... they just aren't caring about anything we voice and they don't even know their own job responsibilities let alone know their community.

    Sup Gar! I agree w the stale reworks the last few years. I still log in for my key and do a reaper most days but only completed mtos twice. I'd like some new mtos rings but dont have the hours to farm like i used to. I never get out-dps'd so i havent needed the new gear. I dont expect the game to change anytime soon, it is what it is...

    Have you looked at throne and liberty. It's finally due to release this year. I was fortunate to be a part of a early beta and I had a blast. As for NW, I feel your pain. Cryptic has sucked the fun out of it. Been playing since 2015 and right now I find myself dredging just logging in for my key.

      Throne and liberty looks awesome. I try not to think about it too much because then I stay up all night looking at videos for it. Another key thing I look forward to is starting an mmo from the beginning, and not years after release. That’s let me from playing other mmos because I feel so behind as soon as I start. That’s the only reason I’ve stayed on Neverwinter because I’m all caught up.

  • @jingtroc23

    The item level system sucks, it's just piling on more and more item level, lots of players just push for high item level yet have little skill. By the end of the year we will be on 100k item level and still going.
    Paragon paths need to be expanded, a way to upgrade your paragon encounters or something, some kind of skill tree that can branch off of your path etc.
    Some classes have the most boring useless feats(Whisperknife feats suck).
    Boons are crap, master boons need a rework. Boons overall need to feel more impactful depending on how you spend them.
    A new daily power, at-will, class feature for every class.
    New feats
    A couple new races, classes take a lot of time to create, but races shouldn't, it's just the race, I'm sure they can add them. And make the race traits more impactful. Make the ability scores feel like they are important and not just a 1.5-3% difference.
    Unique paragon path specific gear obtainable through events or lock boxes or one time rewards etc so they feel more special.
    Each paragon Encounter power could have 3 power levels, you can earn a certain number of points to put in these powers to upgrade them, but you can only get about 10 points so need to place them carefully in the encounters you want to upgrade. So one point upgrades an encounter power to + 1 and maybe it adds a fire damage per second, or increased the radius etc, put another point in the same one increases the magnitude a bit etc, a 3rd point in the same encounter maxes it out.
    I know it sounds like a lot, but imagine you go to your paragon path and it's a larger skill tree rather than just one straight line with a few encounters, you'd love it. And more feats for each path.

    I’m not gonna lie, I haven’t even had the motivation to work on the new campaigns. I still haven’t finished northdark on 3 out of 4 of my toons. The only thing really keeping me in Neverwinter is my friends that I play with, and bullshit with. Mtos was fun at first, but it got stale fast after getting my rings, and a couple pieces of gear. The gear isn’t really too impressive though to be honest. And you are right. The endgame community has been shrinking for a long time. I’m not really sure about pc and PlayStation, but there really aren’t many groups running new trial on Xbox. I remember wayyy more groups running every other trial when they released.

    13:17 Add to this all the time spent on having to fix all the bugs and things broken which they created after they ripped a perfectly working dungeon/trial apart. They take it away, they change it all for who knows what reason, they make it live, it's effed-up to the max every-single-effing-time, then they have to take it down and fix it all, they just seem to love making work out of nothing. It's a hard life living at home working remotely and getting paid for doing nothing apart from constantly changing what's already there. Thinking up totally new innovative content? They don't know how. They're plebs with no imagination. But at least they guarantee themselves a paycheck.

    I had not played this in over 2 years. I was surprised how many people are playing. I have been having a blast. From the number of players playing, I would say the game is far from stale. Maybe for older players, it might be stale, but apparently plenty of people are enjoying the game. I will play for a few weeks and then move on for awhile. I do this with all my games. I tend to get bored with all games after a few weeks of playing them.

    Constant reworks about things like more insignias Mythic insignias enchant reworks and other things is the entire reason why I stopped playing the developers seem to think that if they keep reworking older systems that can keep cash grabbing the same stupid idiots, but some of us get tired of emptying our wallets just for cryptic to raise the bar you worked so hard to get to again. Very scummy. I used to love neverwinter but there's a reason people say things like "DeAd GaMe Lol"
    Also F2P is nigh impossible, take it from me, someone with no obligations or job but much free time and multiple characters, this game is not free to pay friendly anymore and never will be, not to say you CANT play but if you want to do any hard dungeon or high level content expect to be paying out the ass for mythic insignias and tons of enchants only to replace them later. This game became a wolf in sheeps clothing and that makes me sad.

    i haven't played since that cradle of the baby skirmish and T9, and i was already bored of the formula of one dungeon every mod, just for bis gear. I think it's time they change it up since obviously dungeons haven't worked out for 3-5 years now? I would like open world events were all the players per instance can participate in to be their main focus. just have worthwhile rewards and adding leaderboards to them, and who needs dungeons at that point. I don't play anymore but will play once i see their focus shift away from dungeons which haven't even been good after mod 10 honestly

    You keep harping on how neverwinter isn't making dungeons in "Dungeons and Dragons" as if DnD is a dungeon crawler. And how there weren't many dragons in "Dungeons and Dragons"... But tbh most campaigns I've ever heard of or played in DnD table top settings arn't just crawling through dungeons, and alot of them have no dragons at all. NONE. And that's fine. It feels like your understanding of DnD (and by extension, Forgotten Realms) is based purely off of the title itself, and nothing more.

      Lol... Good thing you're irrelevant. Continue playing your boring wanna-be MMO.. I'll be right there with you. Except I'll be the one calling the company out on their nonsense.. while you suck they money grabbin E-Tiddies.

    this game just has no content , I dont play very much at all, these mods are such tiny content drops , nothing new as well and its all the same thing over and over. they say they dont have time to do anything , its almost like they dont even work lol , other then making mods.
