    Not gonna like this, but we're extending the downtime ETA to 3pm PDT. *summons a dragon to protect us*

    9 hours for a code deployment? Seriously

    That was for Xbox when Microsoft was having some issues with Xbox Live. They had to wait for Microsoft to fix things before they could continue.

    NWO communications have been improved. Make sure you constantly check the forums, facebook and twitter for the latest info:

    If they did that for you, then they would have to do that for everyone, and then they would never finish patching and bringing the server back up. Then I would be really sad.

    Nah. Then we'd have to regear with Lvl 60ies as we couldn't wear our 70ies chic anymore... (though I'd fancy this'd be easier than what we just went through)

    An a different note: The ousting of the Lvl 20 threshold for riding is a good move!

    Also the votekick changes, though one is IMHO still missing: NO votekick launchable while ANY player is fighting or has aggro... ...got a free tour to the campfires by this so often...

    Another good thing is the increase to Seal drops - provided the prices stay where they are. This makes "more rewarding" really give more reward. Plus, ofc, finally unlocking the Tiamat set for real is a good thing, too...

    Get serious with what you do for a living so you can live from it eventually. All these server patching "mishaps"/ huge lag problems worldwide / dozen unresolved ingame issues are making the whole experience simply outrageous the least. Its an insult to our intelligence and to our love for the DnD franchise. Its just the ugly truth, face it and deal with it cause we face it every second of our ingame time. Pretty and moderated words are useless for ugly problems.

    1st maintenance after 10 minutes, I think this beats previous record :)
    Anyway, I hope they fix that "Gameserver Not Found" problem (even grammatically) :)

    ...weeelllll, viewing it from the bright side: They maybe learned from their experience and have given up on hotfixing live, realizing the futility of these attempts...

    ...hoping for another 2x RP week as a compensatory measure for our patience :^D
  • labrynthinelabrynthine Member Posts: 1 New User
    I'm showing "gamerclient.exe not responding" right after the title screen (where it should go to char selection). It just hangs there. Hopefully they are working on a second patch (to fix the one we all downloaded earlier today).
  • saskdaddysaskdaddy Member Posts: 205 Arc User
    Is there any (even estimated) time the server will be back up? I'm off work this week and was really hoping to get my lvl 68 Rogue to lvl 70 :/

    Why this link, because it's Cryptic...
    Hopefully it doesn't expand to 12 hours of down time like the last patch... Lawls

    Make it 2x Rp and 2x AD then, maybe just maybe we can forgive this indiscretion.
    Honestly you'd think ' professionals' would be better prepared... Just sayin'.

    Enable leadership in portal again and I will forgive mod 6 as well...

    We accidentally let a dragon in the office. Knights are coming to slay it. ETA for Strongholds is now 3:30pm PDT.

    i get to the neverwinter screen and freeze up
  • jim9311jim9311 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 60 Arc User
    maybe if we all buy the highest level vip pack they can hire enough help to deploy a mod without crashing the game
  • jim9311jim9311 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 60 Arc User
    the increased seal drops sounds good. I have had lag issues too often in the epic dungeons and quit after the first or second boss for my sanity's sake. the increase may help me perservere to the end.

    I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. There was tons of money pouring into this game at launch. You see where it is today.

    The every ending cycle of give me X and I'll do Y... no you do Y and I'll give you X... repeat repeat... always remember Caveat Emptor
