Slightly.I will get over it. Case in pioint the underdark expansion. But then I think, 'well its better than getting nothing at all,' and i know if i get bored with this game or stop having fun, I will just leave and play something else. Neverwinter stronghold marketplace. Should i write this in the forums so you believe me???Lastly why keep hoping the devs are all of a sudden going to change and start listening to you, they won't. Had so much promise but from what some of my guild mates are saying and describing to me (the Great Demogorgon 'pit-fight') from the Preview server, its nothing that the players have been asking for and will likely be a huge dissapointment when it comes to the new end game-play we all have been asking for.
