Performance and Stability

• We have made some server adjustments to Adventure Zone maps to help combat lag and rubberbanding.

    One thing you guys should really think about is the mounts binding to character. They should instead "bind to account". It is really frustrating having to spend so much per character just to get a different mount and after you change the mount it is pretty much useless.
    I think all of us players would be so much happier if you bound to account instead of character. I have been playing this game since it started(under a diff email)..made this new email account and i love all my characters and am extremely loyal to neverwinter. Just a thought.

    If you got the mount from the ZEN store, it's reclaimable by all characters on an account.

    Yep, 'tis true. That said, I took them up on the massive mount sale at the end of the year. I can get nearly every mount for any of my toons, but lack the inventory space to do so. A mounts tab and/or stable would be a godsend.

    Related note: my main has 90 bound companions and a huge backlog of unbound ones. An increase to the 96-companion limit at some point would be nice.

    - Good to hear that the midlevel gear from the campaigns gets reintroduced.
    - Good to hear that Armor Enchantment slots now will be on more than one chestpiece.
    - Good to hear Tia's is getting attenuated, so people can get their ToD boons without spending months in WoD
    - Good to hear we'll get refining stuff from the campaign zone daily lairs.
    - Good news especially for all the not-all-BiS-geared-and-heavily-prefarmed-pre-Mod-6 crowd and even more so for new players.

    Well done, build more momentum and carry on in that way.

    Say stop for a second here, Negative reaction from enchants with vow, lol Well Lightning and vow is not negative its a positive and one of the best single things iv ever used on a paladin, so don't mess with Vow, lets stop right there, mess with the primary thing on feat tree, FIX PRISM SO IT DONT LAG EVERYONE AND FIX THE 1/1, BUT DONT TOUCH VOW ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    There are some horrible negative reactions with paladin abilities (I got an OP), this was not one I was aware of, but it is probably a buff and not a nerf. One of the horrid ones is aura of courage+slashers mark...it....errr....kills off party members. Another thing that needs fixing is aura of life activating at the same time as soulforged and giving res sickness, then the next time you die its permanent. This is an issue because it means that if a pally is using aura of life, the soulforged enchant is useless.

    OMG.
    Geas was completely NERFED. This encounter is now useless. I understand the reason why was nerfed vs bosses. But nerfing it with such cooldown in PVP too?
    I didnt read the part where Desintegrate was nerfed? Yeah cause it is very OP.
    What is this encounter a feat? and enchantment with such cooldown? come on!. the pvp nerf was not needed.

    PS: Please! but please! dont ruin this class as it is my main now. Same as you did with warlock (my old main). thanks!

    I don't know why you had to let HRs use the Sharandar store. There goes the neighborhood!

    Thank you for fixing R4 powers.

    I hope BTS is truly fixed this time.

    I hope you haven't hurt Geas too much. If you don't want it to work on bosses, that's fine, but I hope it's not hard to land it on some of the more resistant mobs that aren't bosses.

    Most of all, I hope the lag problems are fixed. If so, a giant thank you for that.

    As Reiwulf says, please do some fixes on foundry bugs (there are more than 100), we are NOT 2nd class players, or even 3rd class players.

    List of foundry bugs, already reported:

    Could you please update us on the Status of Enchants. Several Pure/Transcendent versions are bugged. Specifically Transcendent Vorpal (buffs mobs? Not sure just read it and was kicked from dungeon for having it(I read a comment from Panderus?? saying they were WAI)). It's in the bank right now and I have a perfect Vorpal in it's place for the time being. I would REALLY like to use transcendent. Could you please look into it. Also The pure/trans feytouched. These things are completely broken. Making the mobs hit us even harder. Damage on a single attack in the 20-30 million range.

    Finally. Could you please reduced the difficulty.

    I have to say I am impressed that you all are looking at community/player base for content fixes. I hope you can overlook the vast majority of whiners and focus on the sincere issues that have come up. Thank you for doing this, and I'm really looking forward to having this game go back to the fun it used to be. I hope the over-balance of enemy damage gets patched on the next one, as this is nearly a deal breaker for many. Thanks again.
