Neverwinter

…and I’m ending it as I began it…

Here we go again. The top 38 MMOs in the last 30 days in the USA, as reported by Google Trends.

No Game for You This has been happening for a few weeks, now. The game has trouble connecting me to their account server. Eventually I get in, but if I ever return to the character selection screen, BAM. Eventually I can’t connect again. This can happen sometimes even when I do manage to log in. Neverwinter tech support sent me a tip sheet that was meant to help if I couldn’t connect at all. Even though I explained that wasn’t the problem. ...

Ding 66, and I’ve left Fiery Pit for awhile to return to Reclamation Rock. Leveling up is going fairly slowly. There’s a lot of grinding going on. Almost all the old level 60 content has been bumped up to level 70. This means that we’re all doing a lot of work just to get back to doing the content we’ve done before. I have reminders to go check out Sharandar and Dread Ring again. ...

Based on a suggestion last week in the forums, I went through the 159 quests that we have reviewed (we played many more before I first thought to write about them) and compiled them in a spreadsheet based on the one I kept for the Cult of the Dragon foundry contest.** With that information, I’m able to suggest quests similar to the quests we review :) The link to the spreadsheet: http://goo.gl/XbV9hj ...

After running into Ian Darksword entirely by accident (Guard Frinko will back me up on this!), he agreed to help us run through a few foundries this week. Bringing some much-needed insight into Forgotten Realms lore to our lore-less duo :)** The Redcap Snatchers by @hustin1**** Who doesn’t still wake up in cold sweats with “WITHER YOUR LIMBS!” ringing in their ears after finishing that Sharandar campaign? I know I sure do. It’s why I hired a powrie companion to follow me around, hoping that familiarity and the sudden draining of all my action points at random times will dull the pain. ...

Well, this week the Foundry wasn’t being kind to us. First I, and later Kasul, couldn’t open the final chest for two of the foundries, so we couldn’t both leave reviews. And one of those foundries refused to finish at all! And another foundry, previously featured – twice! – had clearly been broken by some foundry change and couldn’t be finished. Still, we did what we could. Part 1: Silver Thieves by @waldo79 ()* ...

First floor of Newfallen to 80%. I deleted the old story and the old maps. Now, the only way to go is full speed ahead. Floor 2 will probably only have two encounters (floor 1 has five, three of which are optional). There is enough room on floor 3 for as many additional encounters as I can think of reasons for. My one rule in foundries is: each encounter must have a reason to exist. ...

This is a thing that happened. You may now bow down before me. #Neverwinter #DrizztLives #GogoTiamat  This was posted on Google+

Weekly Foundry Reviews – 1/28/2015** Well, I missed a week, so this week, there’s a double helping of foundry goodness. Blame it on the blizzard. And remember, if I seem harsh, every single one of these quests has gotten more plays than any of mine. So who am I to talk, right? A Missing Man - CotW:1** by @redneckrobin** A man mysteriously disappears on the night of a full moon. Perhaps this had something to do with a mysterious wound he got long ago during his days as a caravan guard? You’ll never believe what happened! ...
