Would-be healer looking for game.

6 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for a game where I can play as a healer for group pve content. My research has pointed me to Neverwinter, but I wanted to get some community opinion on how it is healing in this game. I've played healer in WoW and FFXIV. Is group content similar? How is it playing healer through the story?

Arc Support is completely useless closing tickets with copy-paste bot answers regarding server disconnects and missing event rewards on PlayStation.

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m at my wit's end with Arc Support. For months I've been dealing with severe server disconnects, rubberbanding, and memory leak crashes on the PlayStation version of Neverwinter.

Every time I open a ticket with a technical breakdown (proving it's a server-side issue, not my fiber/LAN internet), support just copy-pastes the standard "restart your router" script, calls me "uncooperative", and closes the ticket without reading it.

On top of that, they keep forcing people to go to Discord to look for help or answers. But I don't use Discord, nor do I want to upload or share my personal data on cloud platforms just to get standard support for a game.

Because of these server issues, I'm missing items/currency that I earned. For example: During the current event, I fulfilled all requirements and time limits for the event artifact, but never received it. I also gained zero Battle Pass XP, even though everything was completed on my end.

Has anyone found a way to actually reach a human being who looks at the server/account logs instead of dealing with automated ticket closures?

SOLVED Can an alliance be administratively dismantled?

9 Upvotes

I was wondering, can an alliance be administratively dismantled automatically?

My guild (sword) is in an alliance that is 99% inactive. Only the helm guild, has had any activity in the past year. (Not including mine I am on every day). Sadly, I am now 99% sure the Helm guild has also been abandoned and I have not been able to contact anyone in it for who I have contact info for.

Is there any type of time limit in how long a Helm guild can go with inactivity before the alliance is dissolved?

I don't want to log in one day and no longer have an alliance to be a part of.

Thanks!

How to use melee attacks as Ranger on PlayStation?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm playing on PlayStation and having a bit of trouble with the Ranger class. No matter how close I get to an enemy, my character always shoots the bow (even when pressing L2 or R2), and never uses the melee attack.

As you can see in the screenshot, I have both skills equipped, but I'm not sure how to actually execute the melee one. How do I switch to melee stance or trigger the close-range attack on the controller? Thanks for any help!

Experimental graphical update, and it looks absolutely incredible !

Here’s the developers’ video about the game’s graphical update: volumetric shadows, parallax textures (YES, FINALLY, a bit of modernity!), volumetric clouds, volumetric lighting, and probably even more new graphics settings! I’m extremely happy! ^^ I’m hoping for DLSS and ray tracing too; that would be amazing! What do you think ?

Invisible in NW?

2 Upvotes

Is there way for someone not to see that I’m playing in Neverwinter? I left a guild for a guild that are like enemies. I do not want to lose the friends I play with from former guild that understand why I left (I needed a more endgame guild), but want to avoid drama. The main dude has a lot of influence over the crew and he searches other guilds for poaching. Is there a way to not show up on a guild roster even if I’m on? if they check it I don’t think there’s anyway to be “offline” like you can be on PSN. Thought I’d check.

I've just started playing the game and I'm enjoying but I've heard a lot about it being pay to win. Is it still possible to get the full experience of the game without spending any money ?

SOLVED Frostbound Weapons Question

5 Upvotes

I've seen people running around with Frostbound Weapons from the The Biting Cold mod and the collections says they are located in the campaign store yet I do not see them there. Do they not show up until you progress further in the mod?

Gear progression choice

2 Upvotes

Hi, i would like to understand better the choices in the gear progression. As i understand *Biting Cold* is the most avanced content (?) without level requirement. But there's some diferent vendors in the main city, which shares some of the resources like AD and some campaign coins. I am around 37.000 Gear score and still have some adventures to finish.

My question is: Should i start gearing with *Frostbound* gear or i should keep acumulating resources and buy the Runefrost gear and beyond.

Does the Harvesters Nightmare not award the 5th bonus ToP in the 3rd phase now?

5 Upvotes

The second phase of this Harvesters Nightmare gave an extra Token of Participation after defeating the 4th wave double-bosses.

Now the 3rd phase has begun, I’ve done 25 runs and no extra ToP

I read the description and it doesn’t mention it, so did they remove that bonus ToP?

New eq

Hey, I’ve returned to the game after a 5-year break. A lot has changed, and I’d like to ask which gear and sets I should be using now, and which campaigns they come from. Currently, I’m wearing a set that was good back in the Undermountain era; I also bought a few mythic-tier items (5k+ Item Level) from the Auction House, but I’m not sure if they were the right choices. I’m at 48k Item Level right now—playing a Hellbringer Warlock.

GENERAL FEEDBACK AD exchange

4 Upvotes

I noticed AD for Zen went from 750 to 900 each. Honestly has that actually gotten any of you to buy AD more often with Zen or is it the same ppl buying the same amount as before for less Zen? I'm glad they finally raised the cap but feel like a round 1k would have been better.

"Companion Idle Slot Pack"

8 Upvotes

I was going through my bank and noticed I still have a few of these items left ("Companion Idle Slot Pack") from way, way back. There are none on the AH on PS currently. Do you think anyone would want to buy them today?

Also, since there is no way to state that they are no longer functional and that they don't say it either in their item description, would it be unethical to sell them?

SEEKING ADVICE Catch Me Up

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm a returning player. I previously had close to 15k hours on Xbox but quit playing somewhere around 2017. I've now switched to the PC version and hit level 20, and even got a group of friends into the game and formed a guild. So much has changed I feel kinda lost. I don't know what to run anymore, story or gear wise. I've pretty much rebuilt my old loadout as a crit GWF. They're apparently called Barbarian now? I've been using the lostmauth set, and it just feels bad. Can anyone help catch me up on what items are important, how to farm nowadays, and how the hell I'm supposed to make enough AD to buy glyphs and enchantments for refining. I love this game and I really want to hop back in, but I'm just feeling lost. Thanks in advance.

Question about how Random Queues Work

11 Upvotes

I am curious. If someone joins the queue for "Random Skirmish" and another person joins a queue for a specific skirmish, that is included in the Random Skirmish lot, is it possible both of them end up in the same skirmish at the same time or do the Random queues and non-random queues pool from different populations altogether?
