| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 06:33 AM PST Stats on PreviewAlright, so, keep in mind that everything on Preview is subject to change. Preview is not the future Live. Many many things will be adjusted. I'll give you an understanding on what the changes look like, how important stats will become. But the numbers may change. I'll spare you many details, because the original work was twice as long... And I made 3 spreadsheets to test the formulas... So I'll only give you the most important numbers and conclusions. Total Item LevelTotal Item Level (TIL) is everything now. It directly impacts your Hit Points (HP) and Damage.
You start with 5000 Item Level. So you start with 50k HP, and 500 Damage + bonuses depending on your role and Constitution. There is no more weapon damage, both outgoing damage and heal are based on the Damage number. Damage is rounded on your character sheet, but not to calculate your damage/heal output. The main problem with this system is that it's linear, and the higher your TIL, the less a small upgrade will be important for you, just like Power is on Live. Main StatsOn preview, your main stats are expressed in percentages, between 0 and 90%. This percentage is the value that will be taken into the formulas to either calculate a chance to do something (Crit/Deflect), or a bonus to damage output, or survivability. This percentage is calculated this way :
It means that you start with 50% in every of your stats, but this percentage decreases with the difference between your Stat Rating and your TIL. If your Stat Rating is 5k lower than your TIL, then your percentage decreases by 5%. Stat Ratings are capped at your TIL, so having more stat points than your TIL is not beneficial. You can get other bonuses, expressed in percentages, which add up directly to your stat percentage, to a maximum of 90%. These percent bonuses come from race, ability scores, boons, powers, companion equip bonuses, or equipment equip powers. On the other hand, Stat Ratings mostly come from equipment, companion stats (increased by companion bolster) and mount equip power. The percentage written on your character sheet is rounded with 1 decimal, but it's not rounded for the actual calculations. Offensive StatsArmor Penetration is no more. Not really a problem as long as monster stats are adjusted to take this into account. Armor Penetration has been replaced with Critical Severity (which becomes a Main Stat). Our main offensive stats are : Power, Combat Advantage, Critical Strike, Critical Severity, and Accuracy. Power : multiply all of your damage/heal by (1 + Power Percentage ), so 1.9 with 90% Power. Someone with 90% Power will deal 26.67% more damage, compared to someone with 50% Power. Combat Advantage : improves the damage you deal to monsters you surround by ( 1 + Combat Advantage Percentage ). Monsters have 0% Awareness, so they do not impact the efficiency of this stat, while players would in PvP. It works exactly like Power, except that you need to surround your enemies for this bonus to work. Someone with 90% Combat Advantage will deal 26.67% more damage to monsters they surround, compared to someone with 50% Combat Advantage. Critical Stats : Critical Strike is the chance you critically hit your target, while Critical Severity is the bonus damage that will be added to your critical hits. Monsters have 0% Critical Avoidance, so they do not impact the efficiency of these stats, while players would in PvP. It is best to have your Critical Strike equal to your Critical Severity (for maximum efficiency). Someone with 90% in both stats will deal, on average, 44.8% more damage (that is 20.33% more damage per stat). Accuracy : reduces the impact of enemy Deflect Severity. Monsters have 50% chance to deflect, and 90% Deflect Severity, which means they are 90% more resistant when taking deflected hits. It doesn't mean they take 90% less damage. We'll see that later with the Defense and the Deflect Stats. With 90% Accuracy, it's as if monsters didn't deflect at all. Someone with 90% Accuracy will deal, on average, 16.67% more damage against monsters, compared to someone with 50% Accuracy. So, for now, on Preview, Power is the best stat, followed by Combat Advantage (assuming your positionning is good), followed by Critical Stats (which are pretty bad to put points in, especially when they are low to start with,, as they become a decent investment only once they are high), followed by Accuracy (which was almost as good as Power before they changed the Deflect Stats formulas). To maximize your damage output, it's best to fully cap Power and Combat Advantage, and then have Critical Stats equal one another as high as possible. Defensive StatsOn preview, the Deflect Severity stat is now a Main Stat. Our main stats are Defense, Deflect, Deflect Severity, Critical Avoidance, and Awareness. Defense : it reduces damage so that you are tankier. The percentage displayed corresponds to how much more damage you can take. It's not pure damage mitigation as it was before the last patch (it was super dumb, really), because pure damage mitigation would mean that with 90% Defense, you would be 900% tankier, compared to 100% tankier with 50% Defense. It would be exponentially efficient, and with 100% Defense you would be invulnerable. Now, with 90% Defense, you can take 90% more damage, not 9 times more. Someone with 90% Defense will be able to take 26.67% more damage than someone with 50% Defense. Awareness : reduces the damage you take from enemies that have combat advantage over you. Regular monsters only have combat advantage over you when they surround you (so move to solve the problem). On the other hand, bosses will always have combat advantage over you. Monsters have 90% Combat Advantage, so it's fairly important to have some Awareness, especially against bosses. Someone with 90% Awareness can take 40% more damage from bosses than someone with 50% Awareness. Deflect Stats : Deflect is the chance to deflect a hit and make that hit deal less damage, so that you are more resistant to it, the same way Defense works, but only for deflected hits, on top of Defense. Monsters have 0 Accuracy, but players would make your Deflect Stats a lot less efficient in PvP. Someone with 90% in both stats will be able to take, on average, 45.26% more damage (that is 20.52% per stat). It is better to cap Deflect first, then Deflect Severity. Critical Avoidance : it reduces the efficiency of the critical hits you take. Monsters have 50% Critical Strike, and 90% Critical Severity. The critical hits you take from them will be stronger by the difference between their Critical Severity and your Critical Avoidance. So critical hits would be regular hits with 90% Critical Severity. Someone with 90% Critical Avoidance will be able to take 20% more damage compared to someone with 50% Critical Avoidance. Healing StatsWe now have Outgoing Healing and Incoming Healing as new Main Stats. Power works the same way it does on Live. And Critical Severity is still halved for healing... Power : multiply all of your heals by (1 + Power Percentage ). Someone with 90% Power will heal 26.67% better, compared to someone with 50% Power. Outgoing Healing : is exactly like power : it multiplies all of your heals by (1 + Outgoing Healing Percentage ). Someone with 90% Outgoing Healing will heal 26.67% better, compared to someone with 50% Outgoing Healing. For maximum efficiency, it's best to have as much Outgoing Healing as Power, but sources of Outgoing Healing are limited. Critical Stats : Critical Strike is the chance you critically heal your target, while half of your Critical Severity is the bonus healing that will be added to your critical heals. It is best to have your Critical Strike equal to your Critical Severity (for maximum efficiency). Someone with 90% in both stats will heal, on average, 24.89% better (that is 11.75% better per stat). Incoming Healing : works exactly the same as Power too, except that it improves the heals you receive and not the heals you perform. Someone with 90% Incoming Healing will be healed 26.67% better than someone with 50% Incoming Healing. Control StatsControl Bonus and Control Resistance are now Main Stats too. And that sucks, because it only means that the higher your item level, the lower your Control Stats will be if you do not actively put more points in them. So it's actually bad for veterans. These shouldn't be Main Stats, really. ForteAnd now we come to the most stupid stat ever implemented in a game ever : Forte. It is a stat that boosts other stats, which depend on your Paragon Path, starting at level 30. Basically, its percentage is split between 3 stats (half for the main stat, a quarter to the 2 secondary stats, one offensive and one defensive). So, it's a bonus that decreases with higher TIL. Putting Percent bonuses in this stat is useless when you can put them in the stats you are interested in directly, so only the ratings matter. Different Paragon Paths benefit from different bonuses, even when the class has 2 Damage Dealer Paragons, so it's a pain if you want to move from one Paragon to another (and it means 1 paragon receives better stats than the other). The stats are different depending on your class, so there are classes which have better stats than others. It's really only a scam for Healers who are kinda forced to put points in this because it improves Divinity / Soulweave Regeneration, while Divinity / Soulweave Regeneration could be a stat on its own... Improving Forte for Divinity / Soulweave Regeneration is not even very efficient. With 90% Forte, which can't be attained, you'd be able to heal 16% more often (so 16% more, assuming you need the resources), compared to 50% Forte. Even with Critical Strike or Critical Severity as a secondary stat, the total bonus to healing would not reach 22% (which is still low), so it sucks. Another way to make this would just be to give a flat bonus to different stats depending on the role. And if there really needs to be imbalances between classes (which can be good because people would want different companions to balance their stats), at least make the secondary stats the same for both paragon paths of the same class ! It would be a lot less messed up this way ! So, yeah, Forte is the worst stat I've ever seen in a game. Recap on StatsFrom 50% to 90% : Offensive stats :
Defensive stats :
For Healing :
ConclusionThe system is not robust, nor any easier to understand than what we have on Live. It will be even more complicated than ever to balance stats. Forte should not exist at all. Control Stats should remain utility stats. And Outgoing / Incoming Healing too if we have no way to boost their ratings. Because that only means that the higher our TIL, the lower the percentages will become. So lowering TIL will be important in scaled content.... And that kills the whole purpose of the update... But at least the balance between players will be better, and veterans will still be about twice as strong as newer players in scaled content. Note that the Devs are fully responsible for breaking that balance, especially with mod 19, which is the worst mod ever in Neverwinter, as far as I know (been there since mod 14). That said, I agree that bonding runestones have to go away, because they are just a gate for newer players. Considering the fact that the problem of scaling could have been resolved with a soft cap on Power, HP and Damage and that there was no need to modify player stats further, because overcapped stats are not better than capped ones... And it would have been easy to indicate to players how many stat points they needed in any zone... well, this is a very dumb and complicated way to fix the problem. It is clear that this system will not reach Live as it is. It is a bit early to buy stuff on Live to prepare for the changes. I will now start working on all the other changes on my website. The new pages will be available in January for those who support me, in early access. It's really a lot of work for me, but let's hope that mod 20 will be much better than mod 19 !

| Surveys for MMORPGs and MMORPG communities research. Posted: 21 Dec 2020 08:46 AM PST Hi all, I am currently doing research for a dissertation as part of my final year of game design course in college. As part of my research, I am conducting surveys to gather feedback from MMORPG players on the matter of stereotypes related to MMORPGs and player experience with MMORPGs. My dissertation and research focusses on how MMORPGs can potentially affect the psychological and psychosocial well-being of players who engage with MMORPGs. These effects can be both positive and negative, so I hope through my research that I can make people more aware of the positive effects and help people realize how negative effects occur. I believe that there is a heavy relation between player experience with MMORPGs and the effects that come from engaging with MMORPGs. If you would like to participate there are 2 surveys that I will link below for you to fill out. If you have any questions regarding anything else about the surveys or my research, feel free to send me a message and I will try my best to respond as soon as possible. Thank you for your time!

| Angel Wing Illusion Necklace - How to Get? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 09:09 AM PST I saw someone with golden wings, checked their equipment and it was an appearance item called Angel Wings for the neck slot, they wouldn't go into detail about how to get them. I'm a new player and play as a Barbarian, my plan was to go for a white/gold armour look with the holy vorpal looking like a holy warrior, saw the wings and thought they'd be a good addition. If anyone knows how to get them and if i'm still able to get them I'd appreciate the info since I can't find anything about them online. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 02:09 AM PST So I am currently playing as a level 68 warlock (on pc) doing the underdark region which as some of you might know has level 59-60 mobs. But I am facing a problem in that I am easily getting killed but a few level 59 spider and warriors even though there is almost a 10 level difference between me and the mobs in the region and I can't get enough damage done to kill them before they kill me so I am wondering whether if this is normal for everyone or am I doing something terribly wrong so please guide me in the right direction And also I have very less AD(only about 100k) so I can't do big purchases from auction house so please keep that in mind. Thanks a lot for your help [link] [comments] |
