Players who log in to Neverwinter starting today may find themselves wrapped up in a new cursed encounters of the third module kind. That is to say, Neverwinter has just released its third module named Curse of Icewind Dale which comes complete with brand new heroic encounters, a new PvE campaign, open world PvP campaigns and an additional paragon path for the Hunter Ranger class.

In a bid to promote more open world encounters, Neverwinter's Heroic encounters and PvP campaigns encourage players to group up to complete scaling spontaneous quests and new PvP oriented objectives which thanks to Icewind Dale's newly introduced opposing mercenary groups, allow adventurers to compete for new rewards across the module's newest zones. Of course, Icewind Dale also comes with the usual instanced PvP and PvE content including a new epic-level Skirmish which pits adventurers against the evil wizard, Akar Kressell.

Throughout Icewind Dale's Icewind Pass and Dwarven valley players may collect the mysterious Black Ice resource which is used to craft the MMOs most powerful gear to date, complete with your choice of corrupted or purified stats.

I love the combat. Its tactical, satisfying and almost too good for MMO rpg
But game`s model is unfair and ruining the fun from pvp. While you`re not completely helpless against p2w character, you will definitely feel handicapped.
If win/lose outcome is a matter of gear, that's not even close to good experience whatsoever.

I really liked this game when it came out. Max lvl'd. I love pvp so that was my goal, but you had to do some pve to get the good gear which was fun and fine. Pvp was ssooooo imbalanced. They didn't change anything about Control Wizard and they were the most powerful class and still are.... I was excited for balance. Re-dl the game, played... it was basically the same. You get some lame penalty when you leave pvp now, BUT THEY STILL DONT REPLACE THAT PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!! So your team is screwed 5v4 then more people leave... game still sucks don't bother... Sad this game could've been soooo good.

Has the game improved any on the cash shop front or are you still useless without dumping a ton into it?
