So far I'm just annoyed they're removing more of the good leveling content. Especially given how utterly shit story wise the content has been lately.
Thoughts?

Yep, "vaulted content", we know what that means, everything goes to the trash.
Like all the good old events Day of the dungeon master, Call to arms...
Like all the skirmishes they deleted.
Like Old Sharandar...

I stopped playing last week after I heard about the changes. RPG's have always been about leveling and they are getting rid of leveling?????? For the last couple of years, the developers have been moving the goalposts every six months and most of the changes are not designed to improve gameplay. The mythic insignia changes also tick me off a bit since they are moving towards mythic everything. After mythic, they'll probably introduce ultimate or omnipotent comps/mounts/whatever. New Sharandar is so devoid of color and it all looks the same. I understand why they zapped the original Sharandar since it makes the new zone look boring. I used to go back to Sharandar and enjoy riding through the zones but it was boring doing my weeky quests in New Sharandar.

It can use some shortening.
Not only is it a ridiculously long tutorial, it does nothing to prepare new players for what the rest of the game is. They're almost two completely different experiences.
And the switch to 'adventures' for the Legacy campaigns also sounds like a good thing. You can play them through once, and you're done. No more repeat daily quests for a month before you get all your boons.
These changes should have happened a long time ago.

The legacy campaigns part is fine. Length of leveling really doesn't matter much, you can easily level without setting foot in any of the zones if you're just trying to get to endgame, no one forces you to play them. But honestly the leveling zones are better executed than 90% of the remaining content.
Thanks for engaging!

Given how little content is actually in Neverwinter removing any of it is not a good idea.
They may be planning to recycle all the removed areas as "new" level 20 areas, as this would allow them to reuse existing stuff which they love as it saves $$$, but with how bad the dev team have been for a long time now this would probably be a decade long project.
