Hail *NOR/!
Most of you may know that I am back and aggressively playing again as I have a couple of months to catch up on. Long work hours kept me away, but I am very happy to once again be able to play. We have a couple new Recruits, Bones is now 70 and is chugging along through the mess that are/is Boon zones:)
And Baron Dru has stepped up and taken on a very important role with NOR in Neverwinter, that of a Realm Leader. His charm and wit are sure to prove interesting:) I believe that Phel and Dru will help guide NOR in NW to great things. Oh and Tyr? Sorry, I, uhm, drank the tankard I had for you at the Driftwood. What? I got thirsty:)
Our Alliance has changed some members, and we now are full again with some new guilds and Alliance activity has grown as a result. Had some amazing runs with our alliance today and hopefully some more later this evening.
On to Dungeon Chest changes.....
This was heralded on the forums as a bad thing and in a way it could be viewed as such, but I think they added an element of surprise that was lacking.
You used to be able to view the contents of a chest before actually accepting the contents. Now a confirmation window appears asking if you want to use the key (whatever key is used for that chest) by clicking yes or no. You may still get nothing, or you may hit a lick!:)
Today, at the chest(s) in Castle Never...with the daily Epic Key I yanked out a Ring of Rising Lifesteal +5!
At the chest that requires a Dragon Key, I pulled an Aranea. Yes, thats right! An Epic Level Aranea!
Each zone has different rewards that may show up in the chest such as an Energon which is an Epic Companion (Controller) from the Dread Ring Skirmish.
Wanna know what drops? Gotta log in and check the collections page using Ctrl+J and scrolling down to Zone Rewards, choosing an area (Dread Ring, Sharandar, etc...)
Some of the gear is great but with some side effects such as arm pieces that do extra damage but at a cost...lets hope you have alot of Gold....
Some have no useful stats but jack your HP by 40k, you'll have to see it:)
In addition to gear companions are dropping as well, see my Aranea (which I'm still stoked about!) Mounts are dropping as well.
All in all, I think this was a good change that makes this mod, Storm Kings Thunder PT2, a little more bearable.
Now if I can find 4 more Dragonturtle Moults....
Happy Gaming NOR!

Re: Alliances, Chest changes, and other stuff
Well now I'm stoked about getting back into the game, probably more next week and with my GF which I'm going to tinker with. My GWF and OP are still active and well tricked out. So DPS and Healing still available.

Re: Alliances, Chest changes, and other stuff
The alliance definitely went through some changes, other than its name. A couple of the guilds with way better geared people are off with Relentless, but those spots have been filled recently with a couple of guilds that are small and not as geared. That's fine. I've been keeping my ear to the ground on alliance chat, and people are still frequently grouping for dungeons. Speaking of dungeons...
Since the changes to the chests and keys, I've seen more groups being put together for dungeons other than CN. And, Rain's assessment of the loot sounds like what's I've heard from the forums too. Yes, you can't farm things anymore, but people are getting nicer things out of the chests.
FYI, Tyr is available to tank or heal. Just let me know if any of you needs a tank, and I'll tell him.
