Update 1:52pm PT
Due to this morning's issues with patching, we will need to perform an additional maintenance tomorrow, March 16, starting at 7am until 9am PT. This maintenance will apply the patch reflected in the Patch Notes: Version: NW.95.20180212a.8.

******

We are aware of the issue with PC players not receiving the .8 patch after today's maintenance. We are in the process of looking into this matter and follow up steps. We will provide additional updates when available.

    This is taking the HAMSTER, I've had to deal with the Rubbish pilgrim set locking my in combat since release and now you get a fix you screw up releasing a patch for PC Players. I wonder why i play at times. Do you guys not Test things before release i mean come on bug after bug stop rushing release dates iron out all the bugs first then release i don't care if it takes ages i just want a game i enjoy without all the bugs because it was rushed to release

    I think its a bit unfair to take the devs to task because a patch didn't apply successfully. Unfortunately this is one of those things that can happen when patching and it doesn't matter how much you test in Dev or pre-production environments (or how identical these environment are or are supposed to be) sometime a patch fails to apply and the best thing to do is roll-back and try again.

    Fixing bugs is not an instant thing and not only does it take time to investigate and develop the fix so does testing. While we all want bug free software sometimes it is not until it hits a live environment that issues may surface. It is possible to miss some testing scenarios - even in beta testing with players - as its only when it hits live that there is the true volume of players/users, so things can slip through especially in a codebase as complex as NW which will have a significant amount of legacy code.

    As a software developer it is frustrating to us when these things happen, but its not always avoidable regardless of how much you try.

    if this was the first time i would be with you, but this is the millionth time, so yeah the devs get some HAMSTER.

    Now I understand why my pelgrim weapon set still was bugged. Well I hope the next fix will unbug it.
    Thanks for telling us, nitocris83 :)

    Bugs are a part of life. You can manage them, but never get rid of them all.

    Neverwinter is the best online game that I have played. I have been playing online games since EQ beta. It is difficult to get the formula correct between depth and simplicity, but Neverwinter seems to walk this fine line very well. While there are a lot of elements to master, you can jump in and have fun very quickly. And character progression is steady without being too fast or too slow. Excellent job developers!

    I agree with onodrain, as I myself have played many MMO's and other online games since EQ beta. NW is a very indepth game for being almost completely free to play. Bugs however, will happen, and we gotta deal with it. If however you think you could do better at getting rid of the bugs, by all means step up and do so. Or go make your own game and become the richest person ever. XD

    I've been here since it went live and It's only game I play anymore. If they say it needs fixing, play nice and let 'em fix it. It's worth it in the long run.

    The Auction House is having issues again today! 90% of the items since patch this morning that I have attempted to post are then unable to post.

    Oh good, I thought it was just me. Two of my toons can't post anything and I do mean anything, the last one has an about 20% success rate.
    Also, if an item can't be posted by one toon, giving it to another won't help it still won't be postable. Closing the game and restarting solves it with a 50/50 chance
    Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
