Neverwinter crits you with a wall of class balance notes

One nice website feature that Neverwinter is doing these days is occasionally compiling all of its developer notes in the preview forums and posting them on the main site as a public service for fans who don’t want to spend their time hunting them down.

Yesterday the team put together another batch of these notes, mainly covering the many, many, many changes coming to some of its classes with the Storm King’s Thunder module this month. Hunter Rangers, Guardian Fighters, and Scourge Warlocks are all primed for adjustments, balance tweaks, and various nerfs and buffs.

The devs also discussed some changes that are being made to the lengthy Maze Engine quest: “We’ll be changing the repeatable so it will give you one instance OR one of the overworld tasks, but not both. This will cut the quest time down noticeably to match what it is on live, with the exception of the overworld quest, which had the extra component added to them.”
