Tempus Arena - The Slaughterhouse
[p]Even more tears for the tear jar, as the Slaughterhouse is ready to open its doors again! However, this time, the Slaughterhouse is under new management, including some changes. The new management noticed that you should feel more powerful while in the Arena. Therefore, expect rebalanced enemies, player powers and more! You can access Tempus Arena – The Slaughterhouse from Protector's Enclave. Enjoy the Slaughterhouse and its improvements to the PVE mode! [/p]
- [p]10 new Bosses and 10 new Critter Waves are ready to make your life more difficult than before. Rumors have it that there's even an additional extra boss... [/p][/*]
- [p]Previous passive buff values have been upgraded by 5 percent. [/p][/*]
- [p]Time to add active buffs too! Get them every 5 rounds starting at round 10 to greatly increase movement, rapidly regenerate AP, doubling damage, obtain damage immunity and shields, heal a targeted area, revive dead allies, remove revive sickness and more! [/p][/*]
- [p]Newly added Challenge Rounds, where you're prompted to challenge three bosses simultaneously to obtain one of the Ultimate Passive Power Ups for the rest of the run: massively increase Recharge Speed, AP Gain, Max Health, or your Base Damage Bonus. [/p][/*]
- [p]Complete our new 'Survive a Challenge Round' and 'Reach Round 25' quests and obtain a new Title, the Bloody Footprints, the Hemovore Gelatinous Cube Mount, or any of our previous rewards! [/p][/*]
Cleric Rebalancing
[p]On our Discord, we recently started feedback threads for Barbarians, Rangers, Clerics, and Warlocks. Thank you for all the feedback you provided! Our next Module marks the kick-off of our class changes, and the Cleric is the first one we’ve worked on. [/p][p align="start"]While Arbiter only went through a few changes, Devout has been changed accordingly. Some highlights: [/p]- [p]Anointed Army absorbed the powers from Anointed Arms. [/p][/*]
- [p]Give your allies extra damage, healing and recharge reduction with Divine Glow and extra damage with Exaltation. [/p][/*]
- [p]Equip the new Sanctified Ground Feat to boost Hallowed Ground, adding Recharge Reduction. [/p][/*]
- [p]Guardian of Life adds a new high-risk-high-reward functionality besides the regular healing where you’re able to revive up to four players from death! [/p][/*]
Dungeons/Trials Queue improvement
[p align="start"]Neverwinter has a huge variety of Dungeons and Trials, and we often hear you mention that setting everything up to be your most efficient self takes time. Some people within our community already created their own system to speed things up, and we’ve checked them out in awe and realized we should include something like these systems ourselves. [/p][p align="start"]Enter our Dungeons/Trials Queue improvement, available for Public and Private PVE queues, where we aim to improve the preparations for a Dungeon and Trial in an easy-to-understand format. [/p][p]When you queue up and don't want any extra information, you can just start playing. The new menu we added can be found by clicking Inspect (1), giving you a popup window. From there you see the following information: [/p]- [p]Class – The same way it's visible in the standard Queue window [/p][/*]
- [p]Mount Powers – Both Active and Passive [/p][/*]
- [p]Primary Artifact [/p][/*]
- [p]Summoned Companion [/p][/*]
- [p]Mount Insignia Bonuses [/p][/*]
- [p]Guild and Alliance [/p][/*]
- [p]The two Overloads [/p][/*]
- [p]All six Companion Powers [/p][/*]
Celestial Mounts & Insignias
[p align="start"]Upgrade your Mythic Mounts and Insignias to a new, stronger tier, as Celestial Mounts and Insignias are here! [/p][p align="start"]Celestial Mounts will allow you to boost their item level and the effects of Mount Powers associated with the Mount. While you can't upgrade Mount Collars to Celestial yet, it's definitely something we have in store for you later. [/p][p]Reaching the Celestial tier marks a new milestone, and we want to treat it as an aspect that feels rewarding to achieve. Therefore, the upgrade failure mechanism that you know from other refinements has been added to upgrade to Celestial, with a failure chance of 50%. [/p]Upcoming rewards and items
