I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Glad to see they have an anti exploit squad now.
How about a pro-build squad that has a ****ing clue how the game is played?
He need to make an account and come to forum to answer questions. And why he didn't say what new class it was?

There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
Assuming you are talking about multiple voice chats appearing in the chat window, that isn't a PvP specific bug and it has been there since CO launched voice chat years ago.
State of the Game:
1) About to pi$$ off 2/3 of the player base with balance issues using a wildly swung nerfbat all because they have no idea how to separate pve and pvp and listen far to much to whinging crybabies who lose pvp.
2) About to lose the trust of players in their financial model i.e. changing item sets that players paid for using real money means how can we trust that anything we buy via the AH or zen store wont be changed in the future if someone whines about it enough, without offering any form of reimbursement.
3) All hidden in some shiny new content that doesnt include expected additions like new classes or paragon paths.
I grew up on D&D and the Forgotten Realms books so liked this game up until the latest balance changes which shows nothing has been learnt from the experience of their other 2 MMO's and the whole host of other MMO's on the market.
Now it has just turned into another fantasy MMO plagued with balance issues and an inability to separate Pve from Pvp.
I know your just the forum moderator but your supposed to read these posts and boil them down to more concise subjects and then present them back to the internal development teams. We the users of the game and these forums would still like to ask for more classes. We do rely on the fact that you will take this information and represent us as a community. I believe there are many people who would second this posting that more classes added to the game has got to become job number 1. I bought the Hero pack, I have bought the Feywild pack as well. I have spent a couple hundred on zen and I really DO ENJOY the heck out of this game. I would enjoy it a bunch more if I had 12 more classes to choose from!!!!
I read the latest state of the union and while I want to troll and say "WHAT!?!?! 1 new class this year!!!!!" and then blather on about this or that sucks, I choose the high road and write one more time... PLEASE represent what we the community actually desire - more classes and more paragon paths - not later but now. Refocus one of the dev teams onto making these additions and watch the money roll in!
Thanks for listening - please second this motion if you agree.
See you all in game!!!

As far as squashing bugs/exploits, the only ones you really address are the ones that threaten the Zen Market. And then you only deal with them when it is too late and have to do roll backs to protect the economy.
Take Skill nodes for instance. I've been reporting them since well before launch and you have yet to address them... People can use a node (or chest) leave the undesirable item(s) behind and the node will never respawn. The next person to use it, will see the undesirable item and if they leave it, it will remain in that state until someone comes along to clear it. This is an easy fix yet you refuse to address it. Make it so that anyone that uses a node may not access another node until they clear the node they initially accessed.
Indeed ... how about actually fixing the KNOWN issues instead of creating more issues? I'd LOVE form my knife companion to actually be useful ... I never bother even calling it out anymore ... I've seen so many games go under from this very type of issue .... Now we get to wait till the end of the year for another class that SHOULD already be implemented? ... not cool ... not cool at all ... and I could go on as well ... this isn't meant to be a huge bash ... I DO love the game ... It has so many obvious great things. I Just DO NOT want to see it die off from people waiting for things that take too long to get done. .. Best get on this quick .. you have some heavy hitting MMO's to contend with this year ... the fan base is fickle as we all know ... mass exodus isn't a fun feeling ....http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/images/smilies/confused.png
He said simple bugs as they come along, chances are the Unstoppable bug isn't simple to fix. As for the other, as other people have mentioned, that's been there since they were beta testing voice chat back in 2011.
It is the same PR stunt that WoW did.
Multiple account holders, all the spam bots that constantly create accounts after being banned, etc.
Sony Online Entertainment has a MASSIVE lead on PWE's chat with their spam filter check box in the chat options with EQ II. Flip that switch and you NEVER see any www, VVV, etc advertisements or tells EVER AGAIN.
I have played this game for a week and my first impression is GEEZ what a scum garbage introduction to this game to see zone chat. Even after tomorrow's patch it still will not keep people from spamming their own LFG/LFM/recruitment messages multiple times in a row for no frickin' reason.
PWE you need to implement chat with slow mode like Twitch.tv has in its moderator chat functions (/slow x number of seconds between chat entries). Just put /slow 30 and people can't spam their ads less than 30 seconds apart.
Things like this that should be the FOUNDATION OF THE CHAT SYSTEM IN THE FIRST PLACE are not here. WHY THE HELL NOT?
I'm sorry, but this patch seems pretty light given the fact that the game has been mowed through and completed by many for far too long, especially since it has virtually no replay value.
And so... no new classes or paragon paths until somewhere between December and January?
I feel like the big 2 million they're boasting is going to plummet to less than a million if this is true.
The game simply needs more content. If this patch was more hefty I'd be fine, but it really isn't.
