Well as long as they're going to do something "special" for the wait....whats another almost two hours when it's already been all day anyways. I keep hearing different things, that they're preparing for a release but I think that's regarding to xbox?, that it has to do with the RP event, Etc etc. On twitter it didn't seem they where entirely sure to why the server went down in the first place. But anyones guess. I love NW and I understand that what they're doing is sometimes difficult, but honestly just say that its going to take two days to fix >.< lol
Well, here it goes again. Europeans are disrespected with Cryptics. It's 1.38 and still no game. Why should updates always occur on Europens' afternoons or evenings?! After a whole day of work, people have been waiting eagerly to play, but to no avail...
We need to download 900+MB data, for what? For an adjustment of hp and damage. Who do you take us for? Have you ever played your game? It seems you haven't, considering the HAMSTER you've been doing the past four months.
Cryptics and co should really take real professionals.
And we want a European server!!! We're fed up with the continuous lagging and desynchronization between America and Europe (which we experience mostly in PvP)...
I did the invocation animaiton 9 TIMES and it still didn't do anything! it takes me now 5 times as long to do a full invocation run than it did before! The responsiveness time when you log a character then the next to invoke is terrible.
On average I have to do the invocation animation 5 times per character to be able to invoke
I have 53 characters. /wrists
I am the monk, martial skill transcends the battlefield
It is my my life style, my doctrine and my state of mind,
You fight well, but without focus and discipline, you will fall.
Well, after trying to do Adepts of Ascension on my lvl 69 Scourge Warlock and getting creamed slower by the mob around Miraj, I got to say that increased health is a great idea, if you hate your players. I mean all you did here was reverse the problem from them pounding the HP out of you quickly, to you trying to kill the boss fast while the mob is pounding your life out just a little slower. Do you even play this game? I mean before patch I took this boss out twice, I was lucky, now I am just trying to take out the littles around the boss that have more health and an insane amount of regen, so it looks like the content lvl 60+ is no longer solo-able, well at least for my class and I will admit I am new to Neverwinter, only been playing for a few weeks, but this, well I will not be buying Zen anytime soon.

• XP given, current XP and overflow XP has been adjusted at levels 61+ so that it is more rewarding to do at level content.
At level 70 the overflow XP is 1 785 000 and the XP from quest in Dread Ring,Sharandar and Ice wind dale is 1510,what's more rewarding than doing 1182 daily quests to make it to overflow and getting 5 rank 5 enchantments/runestones(which you can find under every rock in mod 6) or those 10 companion/5 character tomes of XP(worthless HAMSTER as the rank 5's) and not even guaranteed power point. And then it's this:

The difficulty nerf makes me sad. I was planning on doing a run of ecc with a 2k group and videoing it, but that means much less now that add damage has been nerfed by such a large amount I suppose I will do the run anyhow though, as I have been asked by a few people for a video of it.
"All XP Boosts given by Invocation now SET the bonus to the amount instead of adding it."
Wow. Just wow.
Who decided this? Who is responsible for this decision? They should be lynched!
Hundreds of thousands of bonus XP saved up, and now you do this. It's not like I was invoking every day specifically to bank it or anything.
Whelp. Thanks for the anniversary event, I guess. Seems like a good place to quit.
Difficulty
We are adjusting difficulty for all critters that are 6-60+ using some general guidelines:
All enemies now have roughly 50% more Hit Points.
All enemies deal roughly 25% less damage.
Our reasoning behind this is to address the main concern of enemies doing too much damage. With an increase in HP, it balances things to create more of a strategy than simply being killed in one hit.
Bosses are unaffected.

I've read several comments saying 70+ wasn't affected but the page I copied from (main page) is 6-60+ . This may have been changed by cryptic to say 6-60+ now, IDK.
I do completely agree that 50% more HP was a bad decision. All the legitimate reason have already been given so I won't repeat them all.
Honestly though, do you even play the 70+ content without a maxed toon? An average player geared one without BIS for everything?
Is there anyone, who noticed that the amount of xp which is needed to the next level is 3 times more now? My lvl 67 character has to earn 4 850 500, but my lvl 70 char has to earn only 1 785 00! And it's OK that quests that before gave 3000 xp, now grants 12k but I think it is only because of the double xp event. So basicly, invoking grants more xp than questing, and if the event is over how will I be able to gather that amount of xp? It's ridiculous. With that hp improvment of the mobs, leveling will be totally annoying.

You know those shiny new Inscribed Garments that were added to the Zen store with Mod 6 launch? The ones with +20% XP? Now see if you can work out why XP to level has been trippled...
