Its like they had so many mechanics and squeezed them into a single trial when they could have made 2, unfortunately a lot of the remaining player base will never see this as the coordination alone doesn't lend it self remotely to any PUG, but the amount of work you did on the strategy was fantastic.
Same... maybe in three years. I've still never done ToMM or Zariel. I don't have the time to learn the mechanics, and I'll never get a pickup group to handle it
Draconic aura is probably what wipes alot people, since most dps go solo on each thayan rather than killing them one at a time. Like the corpse flowers in maze.
So it’s more content that 97% of the player base will not bother with and if it ever gets added to random queue it will be an instant quit just like the new demogorgon.
One more trial that most of players won't play. And those cryptic obsession with tanks... It's easier to graduate quantum mechanics than learn how to tank this trials. And they just don't give up 'till all tanks leave this game. Anyway... After latest patch even castle r. became harder to pass in radq for "regular/random" players in sister's phase. I can't believe - they just can't do anything right. It's not easy to accomplish that to be honest.
It's not that hard to tank those. And trials are made to be challenging. It's weird to ask for an easy trial instead of actually learn to play the class.
these are supposed to be a challenge for maxed out characters! Ppl who are good at the game finally get somewhat rewarded with something they can do and feel a sense of accomplishment when they beat it,
Ok tyvm Aragon but you kind of duped us... Oh yeah mechanics and all, we eventually gonna grind those but what about the end trials BOXES?!?!?! you did not show what's in there :DDD Anyway ty so much for the work you done very much appreciated. Merry Christmas!
Aragon, do you think its possible to solo tank this trial by kiting the first phase similar to new demo? or is there other mechanics that explicitely require 2 tanks? Thank you
trial looks sick when it comes to the looks of the boss and the area. the trial looks like hot garbage when it comes to challenging and new content, if the current teams can beat it(no offence). the better groups out there will destroy that with a breeze. hope i have not waited a year for baby zc 2,0 :(
I have played Neverwinter since inception in 2002. Cryptic took this game far away from the original D&D. It is missing many of the spells, being a warlock it has been depressing not to have the full variety of spells.
@@Aragon- Nope, thayans come from the country of Thay, so they’re not a cult, more like an evil country, so they’re still just regular humanoids. There is a SH overload that boosts damage against specifically thayans tho
@@Aragon- Yeah ofc, DPS only need to click buttons and run out of the red, but have no patience for a Tank making mistakes with too many mechanics to follow. Devs seem to think only Tanks need to have a brain, while DPS can button-mash.
I think the preview server is like cheating.. it allows you to basically get an advantage on everything before the mod even comes out.. so what's the fun in that.. it ruins the surprise of anything they release 😒. Not only that it destroys the trade house on console because everybody listens to you guys on PC and jack prices up because of what they have seen from you all on pc. But that's just my thought 🤔
because they aren't spending $$. Cryptic says "Free to play" and it is, but "free to win" isn't something they can afford. In order to really be BIS in this game you're going to have to spend $$.

Thx, well the amount of mechanics is actually a bit less than what you see from tomm or zariel, at least with the complexity
Oooooo another dungeon I'll never get to see :D

@@tjolsonmcse same. I never even done vos no one will take me under their wing. I just get insulted and told to f off lol
Thx, Aragon for your time putting together mechanics guides!
is there a link to this doc?

Yep
Thank you for your hardware and dedication!
Cheers :)

Last time I tried solo q-ing we failed codg... I was tanking and stayed alive until the end, dps and heals were not there
And mechanics of course, everyone kept on dying on the last boss
yup, it's not for casual players, get your character max, get gud and get some friends, and you can beat it.
WOW!!! GREAT JOB!!!
Cheers

Oh my God they copy and pasted demigorgan an added a couple more attacks yaaaaaaaaaaay way to really do something new Neverwinter
Lol xD
Great, another tank dependent trail.
it is also healer dependent, and dps dependent. whats your problem with that? that's how this game goes, the holy trinity
Gg aragon as always appreciate the info
Hi Friend! question: any chance you make a Ranger build tutorial? Greetings from Chile ✌
At some point, sure
you can check out Gus Archer, he mains a Ranger so I believe
Have you tried the Waters of Elah'zad to cleanse the bleeds and poison?
Works nicely
Bad so much bad this trial another one demogorgon!!!!...
Yipeee.... Yet another way to get smashed dead repeatedly like one has 10 IL but in fact be over 60k IL, i must just keep quite
So basically valindra boss fight + spiderman swing swung + a dragon fight like dragonflight, seems easy enough
Ok tyvm Aragon but you kind of duped us... Oh yeah mechanics and all, we eventually gonna grind those but what about the end trials BOXES?!?!?! you did not show what's in there :DDD Anyway ty so much for the work you done very much appreciated. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas. ;p
so, its the Dragon from original Castle Never... with a few of Zariels attacks... and a kill timer.
More like the one in whispering caverns...
Instead of the big hand attack that auto targets it spawns fart clouds of death
I guess so
Are the lionheart weapons worth getting right now before the new mod???
yes, still very good set
Do the Damage Down and Bleeds count as "Negative Effects" that can be removed by healers?
If so a Bard Healer might be useful...
would need to check that
Tested with OP healer - yes, the Damage Down gets cleared first then the bleed
@@Aragon- does the dedicated squire "cleansing touch" remove the bleed?
@@TomGSci Excellent! Then the Bard Healer power that keeps removing negative effects over time, in an AoE would be pretty useful then..
Aragon, do you think its possible to solo tank this trial by kiting the first phase similar to new demo? or is there other mechanics that explicitely require 2 tanks? Thank you
You could possibly Kite him, yeah. But otherwise you ideally need a 2nd tank later on, one holds Valindra and the other the Dracolich.

Does the storyline directly follows echoes of prophecy storyline?
i belive it does, the battlepass was the build up
Are these enemies still cultists? If that’s the case, I may need to update my Boons
the thayans should be
@@Aragon- Nope, thayans come from the country of Thay, so they’re not a cult, more like an evil country, so they’re still just regular humanoids. There is a SH overload that boosts damage against specifically thayans tho
Hey, did you guys completed the trial?
I haven't ran it with my proper group, yet. That will be at 7pm UTC, and yes, we have beaten it before, just not n the public preview
@@Aragon- nice, pls share the main group completion when you guys do it. Good luck
When are we gonna get trial with more than 2 tanks :(
good luck getting more than 2 tanks, they are rare these days xD
@@Aragon- Yeah ofc, DPS only need to click buttons and run out of the red, but have no patience for a Tank making mistakes with too many mechanics to follow. Devs seem to think only Tanks need to have a brain, while DPS can button-mash.
So basically, don't even attempt this lol.
Not if your not at 60k IL with the best gear!

Yeah, that's why they are make it a limited time thing. They have such a small company, they need the feedback from players to get it right
50k min so no one on non 65k il will get into party . Why do cryptic HATE non BIS players!
Lol the trial is easy dnt worry u ll get in , but keep in mind it s a endgame trial
this is a trial made for BiS players ^-^
But yeah, atm it's much easier than ToMM or Zariel,
People are 62k already… will be more like 75k. Trial in any game is engame content.
@@Aragon- its not lol. its way to easy. it needs a huge difficulty increase
because they aren't spending $$.
Cryptic says "Free to play" and it is, but "free to win" isn't something they can afford. In order to really be BIS in this game you're going to have to spend $$.
