With the June 20th release of Neverwinter just around the corner, players will be able to take part in the 20v20 PvP match taking place at Gauntlgrym. A new dev diary has been published on the official site to give the inside scoop on how it will work.
What makes Gauntlgrym special, challenging, and fun? Gauntlgrym offers something for everyone! Whether you enjoy PvE content and just want to focus on eliminating Delzun dwarves or PvP content by eliminating all opposing forces, your role is very crucial to the success of your team. Every activity you do and action you perform – or don’t perform! – has a consequence that affects the outcome of each phase. Every task completed and goal achieved gets your team closer to Dwarf King's Crypt and its hidden riches.

Sounds like a horrible system.
Forcing PvEers to PvP for PvE content is NOT how to make a game, PvE and PvP are exclusive pillars and for a reason.
Gogo nerfbats, buffbats, and forum QQ rages with OP classes.
No raids to all those who constantly kept on claiming raids were coming. Raids will be Dungeon Delves which is what the repeatedly refered to as such. Wonder if they'll actually have boss encounters that are somewhat imaginative and not "let's just add adds" like they do with every boss encounter.
P2W agruements will rearise and with a lot more force.
I don't see this system going well at all.
great indeed. 1 mode 2 linear maps 3 viable classes.
Wow? Hahahahaha, wow... wow, ahahahha... seriously.
No thanks.
No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
Hate to say this but WOW is actually much better than this game?
You know the game which isnt actually P2W and you dont have to pay $10 per bag....
wow ?
2 billion a year and they have what ? 11 classes . no talent trees don't count as more classes.
2 billion and they add what ... 6 dungeons ? not 60 not 600 . so lame.

WoW, is what, approximately 10 years old? and Neverwinter is still in beta? How about you actually play the game, try not to compare it to the dinosaur that you've bled money into the last decade. Provide support for your statements and then give an honest feedback rather than going into every new fantasy game that comes out saying it sucks or going to fail because it does not compare.
F2P is the current model in MMO's right now. In time, something else will come to take its place. In the past we were used to paying our $15 per month and doing our thing. If change is the only constant in life, trying changing games here and there and actually see what is out there.
I did try neverwinter, I leveled 2 chars to 35 or so and 1 to 15. It is just the same thing over and over again.
Dungeons are super boring. remember when WOW came out 10 years ago it had Van cliff, awesome pirate ship in a cave. None of that in this game.
Open world? Nope...
I recently started RIFT, It is also going f2p. The quality is miles ahead. It is not an instanced lobby like neverwinter.
If it is F2P there are much better options out there. Will not play any game done by PW/cryptic. Should have learned my lesson from STO.
The latest patch is currently being trialed on their pts server - and there is an almighty sxxx storm regarding changes to the Cleric class.
Ok, there is always some kind of uproar whenever devs bring out a "class balance" patch irrespective of the game - which most people know is probably the worst description you could give these patches.
A more accurate one would be - ok we're bored time, so we're going to buff a few classes , nerf a few classes and see what happens.
But in this case the Cleric is the only healer currently available in NW - and frankly the skill structure of the class is awful. Several healing skills do virtually nothing and are consequently ignored. Currently these are offset by a reliance on one skill - Astral Shield - which is getting nerfed.
It did need changing as it shouldn't stack, but it's been nerfed beyond this, whilst the skills that really needed improving have been ignored.
So a poorly structured class has been made poorer and, as other classes realize their dependency on a viable group healer the storm has spread.
The patch changes haven't hit the full servers yet so things may change, we will see.
