Cryptic’s Jared “NoWorries” Sears has posted a new blog post on the Neverwinter site to show off some nice changes coming with the Heart of Fire module. One of the most interesting is that non-legendary end chests will be able to be opened for free — meaning no key required! “Overall the key mechanic wasd frustrating, and needing to spend AD on keys for additional dungeon runs in a given day wasn’t a great experience,” Sears wrote.

We have updated our original article with a statement from Cryptic Studios about the exploit ban wave. Cryptic Studios acknowledged on September 12th that there was an exploit in the Neverwinter Barovia Hunts “that bypasses the intended gameplay” and that the company was working to patch the issue as soon as possible. The post further indicated that “any character found using the exploit will be subject to possible actions taken against player accounts as per Terms of Service”.

When Heart of Fire launches, Neverwinter players will see a number of class balance updates.

It appears that the “actions taken against player accounts” happened over this past weekend.

The latest Neverwinter blog has been posted to reveal big changes coming to professions with The Heart of Fire. “The professions overhaul is a ground-up redesign of the entire professions system including entirely new recipes, a personal workshop, over 200 unique artisans to hire, and big changes to how recipes themselves are completed.” reads the blog. Today’s post deals specifically with the player’s workshop.

Console Neverwinter players can now take off for the wilds of Barovia thanks to the arrival of the Ravenloft content expansion.

On August 28th, PlayStation 4 and XBox One Neverwinter players will be able to set off for the Barovia adventure zone that comes complete with the Castle Ravenloft Epic Dungeon. In addition, they will be able to take part in updated Hunts and much more.

The annual Summer Festival is returning to Neverwinter starting on July 12th and running through August 2nd. During the event, players can take part in some of the game’s best-loved events including the “team-based game of Sahha” as they honor the Goddess of Beauty, Sune.

The Neverwinter Facebook page has been updated with a new image, similar to a Tarot card, that shows a druid on it. Is it possible that the iconic Druid class could be coming to the game? Given the Ravenloft setting of the next content expansion, could it be something that we’ll see added after the June 26th release date?
