So basically this means that the xbox launch means the end of the gateway, cause this only happened to me when they were doing the beta runs of xbox server and now the launch. Surely it is not coincidence....
I think the gateway is currently being sacrificed at the alter of XBox support. The support and "fix-it" teams will be crazy-busy with the XBox launch and thus not available for the gateway. Hopefully, they will find a bit of time for us at some point. Given that they always seem to be short of resources, it does seem a bit mad to be launching XBox NW and Mod 6 on PC within a week of each other.
I'd forgotten how painful it is to do profs in-game. Wait... wait... click! Wait.... wait... click!
Anyone know if there is a gateway for the XBox version?
Don't forget the gateway is "beta". so theoretically you can't demand the same level of service as with the game. Too bad though, I think this feature is what makes the game stand head and shoulders above the other free-to-play MMOs
That's the common way in MMO business to avoid responsibility for anything that does not work. Even some games remain in beta stage to the end. "Oh, it's live for the past 2 years and does not work? But it's beta, so just spend your $$$ and maybe it will work in the future".

Yeah. That Gateway "beta" tag seems to be that fig-leaf thing to avoid obligations. Primarily regarding potential security issues, I presume. It's the FotM (well, decade would be more appropriate) software producers use to tell you "use at your own risk"...
...and, on the bright side, they at least do it openly, with impunity, and not sneakily in the fine print as certain other "industries" do.
We can probably thank Google for bringing the perpetual Beta thing into the mainstream. GMail was in Beta for years.
Anyhow, I don't think Cryptic are hiding behind the Beta thing. I think they are probably just prioritising the XBox support right now, which is exactly what I would do in their shoes. Maybe we will get a bit more love next week when mod 6 goes live.
OT: The whole thing is crying out for a service status page though. My ISP has a page where each server or service has a red, amber or green light next to it, plus a single sentence about the status of each. It's easy to implement and would hugely reduce the number of forum threads like these.

And I think some players will think twice before spending any $$$ knowing that due to "prioritising" their game experience is limited, because $$$ of new players is more important.

I can't imagine the fix is that complicated. Obviously there is some sort of interference/bandwidth issue related to Xbox going live. It is annoying that gateway is still completely messed-up after several days straight. That's a bit much, guys.

oh dear if devs can't fix this, i dread the launch day of mod 6. Also looks like PWE fired everyone who works with gateway and noone has any clue how to get it back running again. Guess i should get very comfortable with Neverwinter nights for the next month until the devs get that out rolling smoothly.

Let me guess, for cost saving reasons you did not upgrade your data center's bandwidth for the Xbox launch ?
Good thing I still need to finish Witcher 2, DA3 and have Pillars of Eternity now, just in case the M6 rollout goes horribly wrong.

ooh joy.. stil not working, oh well, time for coffee..
Dear (all people involved in producing Neverwinter),
I think it's safe to say that Neverwinter is the most bug-ridden, problem besieged, piece of software that I have ever come across. The only reason I continue to play, is that there simply isn't anything better available at this time. If you want people to continue to buy Zen, I would strongly suggest you get your act together, and start producing a QUALITY product. I would suggest you begin by fixing all of the existing bugs, both in the game and in the gateway. The details are what matter.
something I've noticed is if you click on gateway from their main site [ http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter ] it will load up (laggy, but load) .. almost seems like they're blocking direct requests but not referring.. it takes 20seconds between requests.. (sometimes 40s and then dc's you) and looking at all the requests one click of the GW requires.. sometimes 20 separate requests to their socket.io .. well.. dang.. why not just make it one request ..

Oh come on now, it's not like they'll break something in their next round of patching nothing.
Devs, admins, an ETA? A statement? Something?
You won't get more than that.

I havent been able to play the game for a week due to work, but at least i can do some professions and SCA on the gateway. Play the AH at least.
But now i cant do anything. Gateway was the only thing keeping me interested in this game
Ahahahaaha
