In the action MMO Neverwinter , development is progressing. Next, they plan to explore the fields of “Ranked PvP” and a type of guild housing. They are looking at in-house and major examples.
What comes to PC will eventually appear on Xbox One as well. Recently, the console has been in the foreground, and soon a dragon goddess will appear, but now it’s time for PC again, to the more current Neverwinter. They plan to explore two major fields.
My other fortress is a space station
The “Strongholds” are intended to be a kind of guild project. In a current dev blog, they are now presenting their ideas.
The strongholds exist in their own instances: Each guild receives its own adventure zone. At first, the goal is to pacify the land, then the displaced inhabitants will return. It will become cozy, and the dilapidated fortress can be rebuilt. Players should be able to donate items to further expand the fortress. The guild leadership can then decide what should be upgraded with the “war chest”. Such an expansion of the guild hall will likely continue the story around the fortress, bring in new enemies, and similar things.
These ideas partly remind of “Star Trek Online.” Even there, fleets can establish their own stations, which feels a bit like a browser game in practice with collecting and donating resources.
The Combat League
In the Combat League, the new ranked PvP system, they will rely on changing “seasons” and leaderboards. The goal is to earn marks in the “Dominion” mode and work your way up a leaderboard to claim special rewards.
Such a “season” system is known from the genre leader World of Warcraft. At the moment, they are in a pre-season. In the first season, it will be about the mount “Armored Land Shark” and an epic PvP armor set “Legion Gear”. In this FAQ on the Neverwinter homepage, you can read more about the topic.
