Systems and Items
- Arcane Singularity and the other powers previously mentioned to have reduced affect against critters in the Call to Arms events should now have full damage effect.
- The Nightmare Lockbox now contains the Heavy Mystic Nightmare and the Mystic Phoera.
- You may trade an unbound Heavy Mystic Nightmare or Mystic Phoera into the mount vendor for the older versions.
UI
- An incorrect message that stated you could unbind companions has been corrected.

Known Issues
- Some Italian characters are not displaying their appropriate symbols such as concatenated words using ''...''.

...does this mean we cannot unbind companions?
That's it, exactly. You can't. And, since the tooltip said you could, they changed it.

There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
ok what about my lower level alt? are you expecting me to buy him yet another "allure stone" from your zen shop? the same way I did with my lvl60 main?
Shouldn't those companions bought from zen shop be "account bound"? so I get them freely after that for every other new character I make?
You guys at cryptic are getting really greedy.... you claim your game is "free to play"... you lie.
you are just trying to choke players after each silly new patch, so they spend more real money on your game.
the truth is, in order for players to advance in this game, they have to spend multiples of real life money on your "free to play" game, than any other "monthly subscription" MMO game on the market.
And very soon you are making all dd chest purple gear "BoP"... so end players no longer can have enough AD to convert them to zen and fund their alts. they will have no choice but to buy zen with real cash.
And buy they way...my main is lvl60 GWF, and the silly thing is that my alt I am leveling now is a lvl29 GWF... funny yeah? I have 2 GWF.
the reason for that is because very late in the game I realized that my race and my initial ability attribute rerolls werer notoptimal for my class... specially with your silly and misleading tooltips. And your silly "respec token" doesn't allow players to change their race or initial attributes. I had no choice but to restart from the scratch with a new GWF, and today I just realized I have to buy him a new zen shop allure stone.
Keep up the "good" work cryptic fanatics. You say you have 2 million unique players? I doubt you will get much more beyond that. once players spend some time with this game. they sooner or later realize... this game has no merit on its current state. you will start loosing all that player base very soon... I can only hope.
I'd really like to see zen items be account bound instead of character bound as well. Wedding attire, mounts, and companions - I should be able to trade these between my characters. However I read somewhere that the in-game email system can't tell if you're emailing yourself or someone else, so there's currently no way to enforce "account bound" items and still let them be traded on the same account. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a future fix!
Now don't get me wrong, I like the game for what it is, and it's fun to play, and I realize there's dev costs to cover, but when you can clearly see the rampant greed, it kinda makes playing a little bittersweet. Especially when there's more purchasable content being added rather than game fixes.
Less greed, more playable content and fixes please. And take another look into your pricing model. It's a bit rediculous.
There really isn't any idea in making some of the stuff account bound as you can't pass stuff on to your other characters.
My main have a load of stuff she can't use that would be nice to pass on to my alts, but it's not possible.
Please give us account storage to fix this.
When STO released a spacesuit for only 700 Zen, but was character bound (rather than account bound) the entire user-base went ballistic. Now the Neverwinter team has effectively created a Z-Store Character-only item costing 4000 Zen ($40!?).
Ummm, no. Never again will I purchase anything from the Z-Store that is character-bound, ever. On *ANY* PWE game.
People who actually spent that money on a character-bound item only did so because it was supposed to be unbindable and transferable to alts. I think all of us whom have purchased a Z-Store companion up to now will not be able to sit down for a month because of the pain back there.
As the saying goes "Screw the pooch" - and we are the pooch.
ATTN: Cryptic: you NEED to convert all Z-Store companions (especially the already-purchased) to account-bound. It's the only way to make this right by your users.
Yeah, really.
Based on what was said in the live stream yesterday, they will have purple flames instead of red. You will also have only 1 week to get the Mystic versions because when Feywild goes live the nightmare box is going away and the Feywild lockbox is appearing.
When do they start to care less about themselves and money and start to actually make the game more enjoyable and less buggy and listen to what players have discovered (real bugs that need fixing) and so on.
The people who would update the companions are not the same people would fix Temple of the Spider.
I highly doubt they give a flying F* about real things that matter. To them money matters. And only that.
Me and many others paid for a bug free environment, not stupid companions. Priority #1 should be to fix what is known, then they can invent whatever companions/mounts and bloat the game as they like.
Because we will see CTA again, both for this skirmish and for the other skirmishes in the game. Better to get it fixed now then forget about it and have the same issues again.
Then let's hope:
1. It actually works.
2. The prizes aren't sideways or invisible, which was the subject of the bulk of my post.
Agreed 100%. Prices should also be definitely lowered, certain paid services, like an inventory slot (value of 1 EURO per slot? Are you kidding me?!) should be made free or removed from the game entirely, no one needs them anyway. No mount in the world is worth 30 EURO, that's christless amount of money for an addon in the game. That's the price of another game. But again they add companions to the chest, and the chance to get something is below 1%. I will never see the money I wasted on those chests, nor will I ever get some kind of compensation for the money lost, so they should lower those prices effective immediately. A stupid horse is not worth 30 EURO, nor is any other companion/mount/whatsoever and the things in the chest, none of them worth a single penny.
Then explain zen store mounts. They are account wide.
1: bug with not being able to activate unstopable on the GWF. this is a very ANOYING bug that causes me to die many times.
2: chests in skirmish and dungeons not active sometimes specially CTA.
3: crashing after end of a Dungeon and sometimes miss the end chest
4: didnt now and it didnt tell anywhere that a Mount are account bound and not character bound i found out this very late in the game.
5: and last i will never bye a companion in zen shop before it gets account bound or at least a unbind option for x amount AD or zen.
i have spended a lot of mony on this game the last paste month i have been playing about 200 Euro but im done with that until they make some changes..
We hope to have it running soon on the live shard. We're just making sure there are no remaining issues.
