I have never associated PvP with Neverwinter, I find the whole concept within a game like Neverwinter to be a detractor from the main focus of the game ie dungeons and adventuring.

Lets not wish for something that would in the end only hurt the game, because it wouldn't be done right, would have been placed within taverns, and as has been said already allowed OP builds to force pp to head to the forums in their droves to whine about the unfairness of it all, yet ignoring the fact it was never meant to be in the first place.

Whoa! Wait a minute! The D&D IP had been treated so poorly by developers the last few years, that I completely discounted this game, but I may have to put it on the "Must Try" list.

Are you telling me that Neverwinter is going to focus on PVE, using D&D mechanics, without bastardizing the hell out of the rules for the sake of "PVP balance"? If so, I need to break out the credit card and get me some Drow goodness baby!

I may have to take back the bad things I've posted about Cryptic if they actually release a PvE game with powerful PvE mechanics that are not watered down for PvP reasons.

Back on the watch list for me as well.

"Powerfull PvE mechanics" What does this mean? You want to see big numbers?

Neverwinter + PVP = FAIL.......  Not all MMOs have to have a pvp component to be successful.  Sometimes it actually hinders the creativity on the PVE side, because the devs end up worrying about class balance in PVP.  I am glad to hear that they are at least focusing on PVE for now.  We have a number of good PVP focused MMOs on the market already anyways.

Not 2 second fears and 1 second mezes.  Allow me to push the envelope in PvE solo.  Utimitely I'm looking for a solo or duo PvE challenge...something that has gone by the wayside in recent releases.
