Today, we're happy to introduce our newest series of Neverwinter in-game events - the Neverwinter Combat League (NCL). This new series will bring seasons to Neverwinter's PvP mode. In each season, players will be tasked to participate in our PvP modes pitting Neverwinter champions against one another in an effort to increase their standing in the league rankings, which are split by Paragon Path.

The NCL rankings will be available both in and out of game, so you can how you rank based on overall and Paragon Path specific performance. Based on your rankings for the season, you will receive Combat Tokens that can be turned into our newest NPC - Dougan Hammerfist - who resides in Trade of Blades. Along with the rankings bonuses, Combat Tokens will also drop during PvP matches meaning that those who continue to play PvP can collect more Tokens as they rank up. As the seasons progress, we will refresh the rewards available and reset the rankings to give players opportunities to reach the top of the leaderboards.

Today marks the start of the first pre-season, which include unique rewards. Our team has also pulled together a list of frequently asked questions that can be found here. If you are ever wanting to learn more about the Neverwinter Combat League, you can also visit our blog tag for all posts associated to NCL. Once the league is underway, we will also be updating leaderboards on our website (a leaderboard that is updated in real-time is also available in-game). The preseason runs from June 11 through July 9 at 10AM PDT.
