Illusionist's Gambit Skirmish: The drop rates for Companion rings have been adjusted for Silver and Gold tier rewards.


is this really just adjusted for rings? not the other things too? why? lol

time2011

An animation-related crash has been addressed.
A cap on the number of VFX objects with client-side physics has been introduced. This should improve general performance when certain powers are used.
A physics-related type of crash has been neutralized.
Various UI crashes have been updated.

I really hope this is true i really do

Bank
Both the Personal and Shared Banks now have Sort functionality.
The Guild Bank now properly has a sort button.

Can we get a confirmation pop-up for this? I'm sure I'm not the only person who custom places items in my bags/bank so I can better find them, the sort function doesn't follow this. Accidently clicking on the sort button can be a pain. While not game breaking a simple pop-up asking if we are sure we wish to continue would be a nice addition.

As for the guild bank, will only Rank 7 be allowed or can we assign the ability to sort the guild bank tabs?

So we should be trying for 5 Legendary level companions?

No, the incremental increase with each is pretty little. Upgrading more than 1 maybe 2 legendary companions is silly until you've gotten everything else sorted in my opinion

kemi1984

Oh Dear Lord sort button finally !!!! yay!

Another bag slot, woho !

I asked about this there:
https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter/#/discussion/1232915/illusionists-gambit-skirmish-the-drop-rates-for-companion-rings-have-been-adjusted

and in preview release note topic. With no response from devs.. Would be nice to have some clarification.

regenerde

Well,

Power Points may now be purchased in the Zen Market in packs of 1 or 10 under the Services category. Please note that player characters cannot consume these packs if their Power Point total would be taken above 124.

so, instead of getting at least 1 Power Point per filling the overflow XP up to a certain amount, we can now purchase the missing PP...
any changes on the "drop chance" of Power Points within this patch too?

adinosii

Maybe I missed it, but has the BtC bug been fixed? What I mean is the situation where you visit one of the vendors and buy armor "for other classes" - which works fine, except the armor binds on pickup to the character who bought it - instead of being properly BtA.

This issue was still present on Preview a few days ago - I haven't checked the last build there, so I don't know if this has been fixed or not.

Ty, I was hoping it was what pitshade said there. Fingers xd that is right.
Btw love the kitten

pitshade

My info came from @flensburger99 so if we don't get satisfaction, blame Peach.

bhurab

Is this where we will be kept up-to-date on the server maintenance progress? ETA 2hrs from now?

patch notes said:

Oathbound Paladin: Divine Protector now properly prevents 60% of incoming damage, rather than only 40%.

Lol wut. Didn't even realize XD

patch notes said:

Certain Companions no longer incorrectly gradually gain stats over time.

This might explain the bonding issue people were reporting with unstable stats. Wonder which companions were impacted...

patch notes said:

The Active Companion Bonus for Archons now properly counts the number of Archons a player has active.

Tested confirmed to be working. Remember that Fire Archon doesn't have a +0.5% per Archon friend on their active, but it does count as +0.5% for the other Archon actives.

patch notes said:

Bronzewood Enchantment: Ranks 11 and 12 now work as described in the tooltip.

Interesting. Does that mean Sharp's bug about them has been addressed?

patch notes said:

Characters who were stuck mid-level in Alchemy should now be fixed.

Lol I'll believe it when I see it, but if true would be a really kind thing

patch notes said:

The available [campaign boosts] are: Elemental Evil, The Maze Engine, and Storm King's Thunder.

Yissssss. Never thought I'd be so happy about a campaign unlock, but then again never though I'd dislike a campaign so much.

patch notes said:

It's a trap! A poorly designed trap, to boot.

patch notes said:

Illusionist's Gambit Skirmish: The drop rates for Companion rings have been adjusted for Silver and Gold tier rewards.

Would really help if they weren't all mysterious in wording updates that are very likely supposed to be beneficial to the players...

patch notes said:

Having too many items in the Overflow Bag no longer prevents players from posting auctions.

Kind move, appreciated.

patch notes said:

Both the Personal and Shared Banks now have Sort functionality.

Kind move, appreciated

patch notes said:

Corsair keyboards...

Glad they are spending development effort on this partnership.

patch notes said:

Players may now zoom the camera in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel up and down.

Wooohoooo I hope it's even better than binding janky fov commands to a mousewheel.

patch notes said:

Dropdown menus are now properly clickable when their options are outside the bounds of their parent window.

Woohoo I hope this doesn't have unintended consequences...

patch notes said:

A cap on the number of VFX objects with client-side physics has been introduced. This should improve general performance when certain powers are used.

Baby steps to addressing graphics degradation and stability? Yay!

patch notes said:

Prophecy of Doom: The fix to allow Prophecy of Doom to take its own damage debuff into account was incorrectly reverted. As a result, this power currently deals less damage than expected.

Are any other power impacted?

hustin1

Does anyone know if we can disable the camera zoom functionality? I have mount bound to mouse button 4 and jump to mouse button 5, which are pushing the mouse wheel to the left and to the right, respectively. That would mean often inadvertently changing the zoom every time I used my mount or jumped.

kanenan

The first thing I'm doing is using the new (OVERDUE) sort buttons at the bank. $#^@ Finally! Thanks

rgladiato

With the Corsair keyboards, how does that work? Do you need to download a special profile or is there something in the keyboard's software/driver that detects what game you are playing?

midnightita

how am I supposed to play with this default camera distance? the command doesn't work anymore. I can't play like this.

No mention of the Alliance gear in the patch notes but it got removed from the seal vendor too (as were Seals of the Elements).

Is there any way to get hands on (Elemental) Alliance gear now to complete collections?

@muminekm#3459 @thefiresidecat

This was clarified on the stream. The dev meant all gear, not just rings.

i should of known the crash would never go away goddammit!

coolgeek357

Extra bag slot and journal rework, thank-you.

jonkoca

Enjoying the new mod.

Please consider fixing the HR class feature seekers vengeance with regard to melee hits, it's been known and demonstrated to be broken for many months now, and the HR community, particularly the combat builds, would be very grateful.

lordseth1985

so far, the new mod is hard as skt was during launch. nice mod so far, and nice rewards too.

dev team really had a hard work on all that jungle and its environment just to make an awesome mod!!!

bsrielbnwn3

What was the reasoning behind the change in the South Sea Fashion for females? The Patch notes do not mention it.

So Cryptic just introduced an option to purchase Companion Upgrade Tokens in the Zen store for 500 Zen. When you purchase the pack for 500 Zen you get 15 Companion Upgrade Tokens.
If you want to upgrade a blue companion to purple, you would need to have 90 upgrade tokens. That means you would have to purchase the pack 6 times, which adds up to 3,000 Zen. Another way to upgrade a companion is by paying Astral Diamonds. To upgrade from a blue to a purple companion it would cost 500,000 AD. If you don’t have 500,000 AD, you can exchange ~1,000 Zen into 500,000 AD.

In short,
90 Companion Upgrade Tokens = 3,000 Zen
500,000 AD = 1,000 Zen
WOW Cryptic, what a bad joke!

To fix this, the packs would have had to contain 45 Companion Upgrade Tokens each at 500 Zen or sell the 15 tokens for 165 Zen.

Quest Journal improvements are good and very much appreciated, but they could be made better.

Two suggestions:

Save the changes I make - If I close/collapse something, I don't want it automatically to open the next time I go in the journal.

Have an option to only show quests in current area.

My GWF lost roughly 10% crit chance. Resistance ignored fluctuates around 6%
3x bonding 12 and full equip. 5x legendary companion
