I sort of feel like posting is a bit pointless, as the powers that be hopefully realize that this is still an issue for (I think) everyone? However yeah, I still can't connect to the gateway in any meaningful way. I stop at character select, or sometimes when I'm trying to complete a task or whatever. The point being that while I can occasionally connect, it's still not usable.
I really enjoy using many of the gateway features rather than the in game features, and hope to see this returned to a functional level soon. Thank you!
It has taken so long for this to be fixed, I guess I have been trying to make a point about how much lack of a functioning gateway has impacted my gaming life. As I said earlier, this downtime has already caused a loss of 250k+ AD through Leadership profession.

Tell me about it. I've just bought today xbox one just to check how neverwinter works there :P Rubberbanding - word for today for Xbox players
For everyone complaining about not being able to do their professions...why not just log in to the game? If you're complaining that you can't run a game function from somewhere where you wouldn't be able to play the game anyway, like at work or something, then you really don't have any sympathy from me.

Running the game is a huge PITA compared to just opening a web page and do the stuff. I travel a lot so I usually have plenty of time to do my professions with my smartphone.
Well said... as for myself I use my phone to update my professions while at work, when its quiet. ( One can only read so many books before going crazy).
Ignoring the higher convenience of the gateway, the devs had the brilliant idea of adding an ingame delay so that you have to wait for your tasks to be ready. I have to wait at least 10 mins before I can collect all of my tasks on all of my characters before I actually get to craft, while the bots it was meant to tackle add a 1min wait timer. Bots don't get irritated, people do.
Though personally I hate doing professions on my phone.
Ahhhh I was wondering why there was that wait to collect crafting rewards. Funny how all these things meant to hinder bots only end up annoying the pants off the players.
Doing the professions on the website is also handy if you're crafting gear and have to keep an eye out for when a particular task comes up. I've sometimes waited for a couple of days before I caught the task I wanted. So now I have to sit in game to wait or log in once an hour to see if my task has come up? Don't think so.

Because its a great way to make extra AD. Its accessible from anywhere. I check auctions, professions, clean out my inventory, play SCA and a lot of other things. Its a game almost on its own and I enjoy it. If the game itself were effectively down for three days and they just ignored everyone's questions about it you can bet that there would be a few angry threads about it. I spend more time on the gateway than I do in game because I am level 60, fully geared, all rank 10s, etc. But I still dont have that darned Lightfoot Thief and that keeps me playing.
Well mucho thanks to whatever kicked it back into gear whether they swapped out fresh hamsters or the planets aligned just right but I'm a happy camper

How does that hinder a bot? A bot can wait. A bot has time. A bot doesn't get angry. It just does not care.
My guess is that it's just a bug that hasn't been fix yet (on the live server). Btw. it seems that the issues was fixed on the preview server. There is hope.

Thanks! greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the good work guys. For real.
Oh great, now I have an image in my head of Panderus getting down into the narrow maintenance shafts with nothing but a self-built flamethrower.....
I wanted to put in a pic, expressing my love for you right now, but couldn't find anything nohomo.
