Quests
  • Neverdeath Graveyard: The Undead and Dying: Fixed an encounter that was erroneously balanced for level 30 players.

Founders Agent
  • The Founders Agent now properly recognizes Guardians of Neverwinter and allows them to reclaim items accordingly.

Professions
  • Fixed an issue in which the "Finish Now" confirmation prompt would predict a different Astral Diamond cost than was actually being charged.
  • Leadership: (Rare) Protect a Temple: Increased amount of time to complete this task to 16 hours, up from 4 hours.
  • Leadership: (Rare) Compete in Master's Tournament: Increased amount of time to complete this task to 16 hours, up from 8 hours.
  • Leadership: (Rare) Mystery Mission #1: Renamed to Follow Map to an Unknown Location.
  • Leadership: (Rare) Mystery Mission #2: Renamed to Assault Enemy Stronghold.
  • Leadership: (Rare) Mystery Mission #3: Renamed to Recover Large Mineral Claim.

Guild Bank
  • Fixed an issue in which bank tabs after the first would claim to only cost 150,000 Astral Diamonds, when they actually cost more.

Auction House
  • Fixed an issue in which auction lots that were bought out would not properly refund the highest bidder's Astral Diamonds.
  • Newly posted Greater Stone of Health, Greater Scroll of Identification, Lesser Scroll of Identification, and Scroll of Identification items can now be found in Potions & Supplies on the Auction House.
  • Newly posted Jeweled Idol, Chipped Orc Tooth, Piece of Broken Glass, and Tribal Feather items can now be found in Treasure on the Auction House.

Events
  • "Coming Soon" Events for future content have been removed.
  • Certain hourly events have been updated to clearly specify what task is required to get the event's bonus reward, and what reward will be gained.

Chat
  • The default chat filters have been updated to clean up most of the "spammy" chat messages, but this will only take effect for new characters. Players may update their chat filters by clicking on the gear icon on the chat window.

Instance Transfer
  • When Instance Transfer is on cooldown or grayed out, the tooltip still shows the current map name and instance number.

Gateway
  • Fixed a warning and certain errors some IE8 users have experienced.
  • Gateway's usability on mobile / touch devices has been significantly improved.
  • The promo for the Nightmare Lockbox now displays the correct name of the Heavy Inferno Nightmare.
  • The Professions countdown timer is now properly synced with the game's timer.
  • The short 10 minute auction has been removed.

Foundry
  • Players may now tip more Astral Diamonds in the Foundry.

Stability
  • Fixed a crash when entering the Foundry for the first time.
  • Fixed a crash when trying to access mail that has already been deleted.
  • Fixed a crash in the Auction House.
  • Fixed a memory leak related to PvP scoreboards.

    They're patching at midnight (PDT) tonight... all servers will come down, and when they come back up, the patch will be automatically installed when you run the launcher.

    Any chance if we can get an update from you directly Heyrogers, but any chance in the guild bank notes, the permissions bug is also being fixed, and it was just omitted from the patch notes? Makes guild banks very very hard if not impossible to use currently.

    Thanks.;)

    Thanks for the update,

    Any chance of letting us know when the tomes to update white companions might be available? Be nice to be able to get a green/blue/purple companion of our choosing..

    Why does this say "newly posted?" Are the items we posted in the last couple days not going to show up?

    Fixed a crash in the Auction House.

    This is nice but there is a far bigger issue where sellers are not being credited with the astral diamonds for the items they have sold. Any idea when that major bug might be fixed?

    If it cannot be fixed before the influx of new players tomorrow it might be an idea to actually disable the auction house until it has been.

    I bought one of the Neverwinter starter kits but never received anything from the ADVENTURER'S HELPER PACK (one per account). I got the bag and the amulet but not the pack. What can I do to get it?

    I've gotten the stuff from the mail and from the founder vendor (all tabs on him).
    I think I originally got it but when I opened it it listed everything but didn't give any of it to me.

    • Fixed an issue in which auction lots that were bought out would not properly refund the highest bidder's Astral Diamonds.

    Umm, another far bigger issue is, is there a way to refund these people who lost out on their A.D. because of this bug and will the transactions of lost A.D. be able to be refunded still?

    I know from personal experience i've lost at least 400,000 A.D. due to this bug and that's putting it very generously low. Also, the Astral Diamond Exchange randomly took 1000 zen from my account and I know I didn't purchase anything, I just open and closed the window really fast and I saw 1000 zen drop from my wallet for no apparent reason.

    These game breaking bugs are more serious because real money is involved and these kind of mistakes are the equivalent of stealing practically.

    Just a thought, but have you tried putting this up in the bug report forum?

    To answer my own question, by "newly posted" they really do mean "newly posted." The Greater Stone of Health I put up on the AH a couple days ago is still not listed in any category, and I'm going to lose my deposit.

    You've patched the game, however, in the process i'm back to getting a the BSOD during the patching process. Had this same problem during BW 4 and didn't get any help from support. You guys need to quit patching games apparently.

    There was a thread there about it 2 or 3 days ago, and both I and a friend in game that it happened to have put a ticket through in game. Am actually surprised more people haven't been reporting it so not sure if its a sporadic problem. But it does mean we are not using the AH til its fixed cos there is no point if we don't get our diamonds for what we sell.

    This is great; any idea when the issue will be fixed in which any non-leaders cannot access secondary tabs despite permissions being appropriately set?

    I'm in the same boat, and wondering the same. I filled a support ticket on this on thursday, but have yet to hear back on it. I hope they refund it since I too am missing just short of 300,000 AD. Fortunately, I know of 1 or 2 cryptic employees who also had this happen to them for more than you and I combined, so hopefully that will help encourage them to refund us. ;) hehe

    The real sad thing is that a few of these patch notes were issues posted during alpha/CB testing
