I have to agree, the wife and I played it over the weekend and had solid fun on the quests leveling. Also had fun in some foundry quests. Still remains to be seen what the end game will be like, or if they'll just lean on the foundry to keep people interested. For the crafting and AH obsessed they even have the ability to do crafting and AH work via the web (and at this point aren't charging for it)

Seems to be. which is balls.
In the 25-30 area. Neverdead graveyard, there is a quest that gives you an asset reward. (assets being people, hammers, shears, etc.)
I was given a level 2 or 3 leatherworker as reward. 10% faster leather working. Not sure if this was luck, or because leatherworking was my focus.
So there might be a few quests here and there, which will reward assets.
7 days of celestial tokens can be turned in for a blessed crafting pack. But this is materials, NOT assets I think. (rerolled, so only on 3 days, I dont have a full 7 to see whats in there for sure yet)

What the 7 day reward is good for isnt the enchants but the wards. The level 60 weapon and armor enchants are made by combining shards you get off boss mobs into the final enchant just like normal... except for armor enchants the success chance is 1% soooo you pretty much have to use a no-faill ward in order to make one.
Farming Cloak Tower for seals during the bonus hour got me a ton of seals plus I finally got lucky with a couple drops in other dungeons. Up to a high enough gearscore for the Tier2 epic dungeons but have not tried one yet. Most of the end bosses in these dungeons require coordination and skill to get past and that is often sorely lacking in PUGs. I can only imagine how hard the dragons are...they were a mega bitch in the levelling up normal versions of these places.
The top tier of epic dungeons is actually a single 5 man raid that is twice as long as a normal dungeon. Also of note is that there are several sets of armor for each class plus non set items so if you want to get a full set of something then you will be pretty busy.
I'm now doing economic wizardry to be able to afford the 1million diamond cat companion which is apparently the best one for a cleric (does no attacks but significantly increases your recovery and critical...clerics are all about recovery to build Divine faster and to be able to recast healing spells faster)

They have been actively removing them since yesterday. I'm sure it is possible to keep finding new ones, but I don't know if it is worth the trouble now. It was the fastest leveling by far, but it is extremely boring and Neverwinter doesn't exactly have the end game content that is worth rushing for.
On top of that I wouldn't be surprised if they start handing out suspensions to the people who really abused it. Bunch of people were saying last night that they plan on handing out a bunch so I guess we will see. I imagine at the very least the people who keep making them are going to get nailed. Anyone who got to 60 with it is likely in danger too.

You realize that publishing companies don't design games right?
Or do you believe that PWE designed Torchlight 2?? Cryptic has been making crappy games since long before they sold out to PWE. I was merely pointing out that while PWE may have some say in how the cash shop is designed/handled, that many of the complaints that were being directed at PWE are actually fully the fault of Cryptic Studios.
Edit:
I think it'd be ridiculous for them to start banning people for Foundry "exploits". It's their tool, and they've had plenty of time to test it in STO, at least. Maybe some bans if you repeated that one that sounded like you could exploit pathing and couldn't be hit. Anything else, though, is just you killing mobs. It's hardly an exploit. And if anyone wants to do it, and can't find one, you can make one yourself in like 10 minutes.

Where did you hear anything about bans? They've only been removing the maps from the menu as far as I know, which is expected.

Two posts above mine is all I've heard, haven't been on the NWN forums lately. He does say "suspensions" not bans, I just tend to think of a suspension as a temp ban.
I haven't read anything official on bans. I just said it wouldn't surprise me if the people who abused it the hardest got nailed. Just like that merchant in GW2 that got exploited. Most of my guildies didn't get nailed for only grabbing a pair of weapons. Shit loads got sent packing for abusing the shit out of it though. Getting a few levels off ogres is likely a non issue. Going 4-60 with it though may not end well for anyone who did it.
I'm talking about the maps with the ogres stuck in a box. I see no problems with the ogre gauntlets. You have to actually fight in those.

You said "Bunch of people were saying last night that they plan on handing out a bunch" , which after thinking about it I assume was from in game chat and might just be people trolling as they love to do.I haven't read anything official on bans.

Right. I don't follow twitter feeds and shit so I have to go off what I hear, but as always take general chat with a HUGE grain of salt.

Oh I see a thread now in the foundry forum with devs going all batshit modding the thread to remove exploit details even though it's obvious as fuck what it was. And yeah there's talks about suspensions for exploiting. Hope they just suspend biggest offenders, I did like 10levels in there

"Basically, if the mobs are being hindered from fighting back at all by the way the author made the map, then one would be exploiting game mechanics. Players should be reporting exploits, not using them. Farm missions are all well and all, as long as they are not exploiting game mechanics. "
What a CM in the foundry said. Moderator, is of course not an official.

I wouldn't worry about it. I imagine they will go after the people making them, and those who abused it and have high level characters because of it. Suspending someone who tried it a few times is pretty stupid.Oh I see a thread now in the foundry forum with devs going all batshit modding the thread to remove exploit details even though it's obvious as fuck what it was.

Well that was more than a few times. Whatever anyway could always just powerlevel new chars, don't really need the ogres to be stuck, CWs can easily solo ogres even if they move.

My control wizard is a beast, I pull 5+ packs of mobs and just aoe everything. I pimped out my guy with greens/blues all of respite so def and recovery then gemmed more recovery so I can use dailies about every 35 seconds of combat.
really need to respec though to maximize but still rape using chill effects with +dmg when chilled. PvP is hilarious was my cw a rogue and another cw, we locked down a group of 5. They had heals but no cw with is clutch.

I'm going to make another effort tonight if one hasn't been made yet. You need to get 5 people in the enclave in a group to start the guild. Last night I was lazy.
Guild name suggestions?
