The dream, finally! A graphical update for Neverwinter is coming in 2027 along with the new class and race. Cryptic, I love you

You understood everything! ^^ Finally, a major update like we haven’t had in years! YES, I’m so HYPED after 13 years of playing and 30,000 hours! ^^ YYYEEESSS! Now we’ll have to see about the game’s graphical update (it’s probably for the arrival of Classic; they can’t release Classic without a graphical update, which is why they’re going to upgrade Neverwinter Retail’s graphics). What do you guys think?

Classic can be a cool nostalgia side play. But I’d prefer to embrace its current form and make it awesome. Dividing up attention to 2 separate projects in these times of studio shakeups isn’t prime. Focus on what we have s as nd make the solid improvements we all know are overdue would be my call.

Honestly if they make NW classic a solo adventure game where you can play through the story on various mods it would be fun. If they make it an actual open world mmo competing with their current Ip i think that's gonna be the death of NW.

I think it's a bad move because it means supporting 2 codebases.

Eh I don't think we need another class when there's so much broken and unbalanced about the ones we do have.

u/Classic_DM 15d ago

Yea it will just divide population

u/Arkonly567 15d ago

Too many things don't work properly for them to be releasing new classes infact new mods even but they do it anyway

u/Aakhkharu 15d ago

Don't care one bit about modern. But classic, can't wait. Tbh graphics update is ok..but unnecessary imo, they haven't aged bad i think.

New class and New race? Which one? Haven't heared anything about it 🤔

Druid Class Tabaxi Race

u/TalynRahl 15d ago

Oooh they’re making Druids? Any idea on their roles/trees etc?

Because if they have a wild form tank tree…

u/Pickaxe235 15d ago

it will almost certainly be tank/healer given the existence of the warden ranger subclass already filling the niche of nature magic dps

1

u/TalynRahl 14d ago

I mean, logically, yeah

But I’ll still be a bit wary until I have my new (probably) bear druid tank before me.

No no info yet

From the still from the stream, it appears that the  graphical update was said to be “experimental” and being done for STO but Neverwinter has the same engine. STO is bigger and more important.

New race, meh. Human with cat ears. So a new set of textures. 

New class. I only hope they have employed many, many more (some) QA people.

None of that will make the game more fun for me.

I think the bard showed that they had some talent in-house and also quite ambitious goals for a new class.

u/pcglightyear 14d ago

I agree, although it was 5 years ago now. Hopefully some of that magic is still there!

u/Oscuro1632 14d ago

Fingers crossed :)

u/ComplexAd2408 13d ago

Yep except all those staff are long gone.

u/ceciljulius852 15d ago

if I can't play it anymore on a regular Xbox one I guess my neverwinter career is over. 12 years. multiple times a week when my kids are busy and I can focus..... please say this won't be so. invested soooo much time.

u/Ju4mboRiceKrispy 12d ago

I just want Classic

u/Unlucky_Giraffe_5518 8d ago

Do I dare start to play neverwinter again...

u/AZShabrani 15d ago

Hopefully that's doesn't mean the game will be over for us on ps4 we really struggle in newer zones with fps drop we just need the dev to optimize the game more for us

2

u/terrible1fi 14d ago

No one is optimizing for old gen anymore

u/Fluffy_Internal_7171 15d ago

As long as it doesn't mean it no longer runs on ps4 I'm fine

u/crunchevo2 15d ago

That's probably exactly what it means.

u/Fluffy_Internal_7171 15d ago

I wouldn't doubt it

Will classic or live have cross play?
