Thank you!

TR again no love? Yeah TR is totally fine right now.. Lol.. UGH!.. so sad...TR is just completely ignored again...

nova

Expeditions still do not work. They haven't worked since private playtesting...
With almost 2 1/2 weeks until launch, can we expect this to be addressed in the next patch?

Expeditions are part of the content needed to progress through the module.
It'd be really unfortunate to launch and you can't progress because the chest doesn't open.

terramak

Also, here are the notes from last week's update (Friday, 2019-03-29). I'll take responsibility for not getting these out to y'all sooner.


Patch Notes: NW.110.20190325a.1


Known Issue

• The Justicar Paladin encounter “Relentless Avenger” incorrectly lists a magnitude of 800 in its tooltip, the actual magnitude is 460 after this week’s encounter & daily magnitude adjustments.
  
• Newly copied characters may not have any unlocked Secondary Artifact Weapon Modifications even if the item has unlocked powers on live. Secondary Artifact Weapons obtained on Preview will not have this problem.

Content and Environment
General

• Lava-fall visual effects now flow more consistently.
  
• Lots and lots of audio improvements have been applied, from ambience to enemy sounds to VO (voice-over).
  
• The login and character select screen background has been updated.
  
• The "welcome back" flow has had some adjustments and improvements.
  
• Various typos have been addressed.
  
• Various visual improvements have been made to zones and instances.
  
• Weapons should now show up when the player is in disguise.

Undermountain Intro

• Players can now ride mounts while on the beach.

Twisted Caverns

• A couple places have been patched up where players could get out of the map.
  
• Players should no longer float above the ground when walking into the water of the slimy alcove.

Vanrakdoom

• A few visual fixes have been made.

Expeditions

• Master the Depths can no longer be dropped.

• Master Expedition: When this quest is dropped, it still counts as one attempt for the day (against the maximum of three).
  
• Players can now be warped forward under certain circumstances if a floor has been cleared and they're on a previous floor.
  
• Players must now properly be on the Master Expedition quest to claim a rune chest.

Combat and Powers
High-level Changes

• The base magnitudes of most encounter and daily powers have been reduced. To coincide with this change, enemy health has been reduced, as a result of these changes, fights should last roughly the same amount of time, but at-wills will represent more of your damage, and as a result feel more impactful to use. The damage dealt by area attack at-wills has been slightly increased.
  
• Ratings have been rebalanced per player feedback and performance.
  • Ratings now convert at a rate of 1000 points = 1% (changed from 500 = 1%).

Expeditions still do not work. They haven't worked since private playtesting...
With almost 2 1/2 weeks until launch, can we expect this to be addressed in the next patch?

Expeditions are part of the content needed to progress through the module.
It'd be really unfortunate to launch and you can't progress because the chest doesn't open.

It's worked for me today. Did you use a rune in the initial chamber to activate the chest? (Mobs will be harder)

jelara1

TR is now the only class to not get an adjustment pass. A couple small bugs in the early patches then nothing. At this point in the testing it’s probably too late. RIP to the TR class.

Can't because I can never get one from the chest. lol I've literally had this problem since private play test, and every week, I report it show the issue in video/or SS and nothing changes for me.

Someone told me i could randomly get one from a Runic Encounter. Did those for 2 days, and never got a drop.
So I'm not sure where that leaves me.

arazith07

Drop the Risk vs reward quest, pick it up again and you get the stuff needed to upgrade the expedition, chests are only operable once you use a rune in that first chamber. This week's patch finally made it to were the chest can drop the runic etching needed to complete that quest. I haven't tested the Runic encounters yet since the patch.

Dropped the Risk vs Reward quest - Can't pick it back up now.

Edit: After I dropped the Risk vs Reward quest, I couldn't pick it back up. Still went into a Master Expedition. Found all the relics again, and still cannot open chest. What exactly am I doing wrong from you?

obsidiancran3

Drop Risk vs Reward
Go to Seer in corner to get it back. (If this does not work, report bug in Expeditions thread).

Get Master Expedition quest.

Use Runic Essence at the left-most of the 3 pillars on the right as you enter the Master Expedition.

Use rune created to “charge” the Master Expedition.

Complete Master Expedition and collect Eunic essence.

Report any bugs in Expeditions thread.

Why I enter this menu, the choice to convert is no longer available (it was before this patch), yes, I dropped and picked up the quest 3 time, all 3 didn't work, no more tries today, this quest is still impossible "/

Cleric (Arbiter)

• Celestial Prominence can’t be cast consecutively with the Critical Sun feat if Celestial Prominence crits when hitting multiple enemies.
  

The only reason to use CP in the first place is if you're fighting multiple enemies. There's no reason to take this feat now. Our AoE is already bad, this helped a little bit, but now it's gone too. Oh well.

Also, this change is not reflected in the tooltip.

dread4moor

@terramak , hope this did not sour your vacation. You certainly deserve one.
I think there would have been far less pestering if we were told you would be on holiday this week.
Thank you for both patchnotes.

Cleric (Arbiter)

• Celestial Prominence can’t be cast consecutively with the Critical Sun feat if Celestial Prominence crits when hitting multiple enemies.
  

The only reason to use CP in the first place is if you're fighting multiple enemies. There's no reason to take this feat now. Our AoE is already bad, this helped a little bit, but now it's gone too. Oh well.

Also, this change is not reflected in the tooltip.

You can still cast it twice in a row, before there were times where u could cast it 3-4 times after serveral crits.

Why is TR not getting any work on it?

- According to the tooltip "Random: Leveling Queue" gives Seal of the Crown, however the Adventurer Seal Trader still requires Seal of the Adventurer (edited: I've just realised it is not a bug)
- According to the tooltip "Random: Expert Queue" gives Seal of the Crown, but only 20 (I guess it supposed to be Seal of the Deep)
- My current item level is 20416 which is enough for "Random: Expert Queue". If I go to a level 70 area (I've tested in Barovia and The Well of Dragons), I cannot queue for "Random: Expert Queue" (my item level is scaled down to 19511).
- If I switch to Private queue, Lair of the Mad Mage requires 19k item level, but I can't select it on a scaled down area (same item level as above)
- I've checked the Spider Attack HE on SH map, they are level 70
- I've found some elite/gold monster on the SH map (actually it seems all the enemies are elite/gold except the animals)

Ah, I never experienced that. Even so, seems bad to nerf it because of a bug (the feat tooltip states it cannot activate twice in succession).

It seems to me alone that the developers still do not know what the "Neverwinter" should look like in the final form? What is happening now is throwing from black to white, from hot to cold. Continue in the same direction, and then you will have a predictable "vacation"!

It is hard for me to understand why many people voted for changing ratio from 500:1 to 1000:1. ("Ratings have been rebalanced per player feedback and performance.").

Yes, it would make the gap between players with top equipment and players with general equipment smaller (can be good for some players who want items to matter less, can be bad for other players who want their good equipment to have influence more) , but it is also an additional nerf to everyone, the reaon is - Power stat. Earlier every 10k Power gave 20% bonus to damage/healing, now it gives 10% -> straight nerf to everyone. Why would people ask for such a thing? If I don't understand something here, please correct me.
