    Hmm. Nothing about returning theft of Fireblossom petals by PWE?

    Are ALL event currencies going to be worthless for future events?
    If not, how can we distinguish which will be deleted and which will not?

    I'll start entering bug reports for currenices which have not been deleted:
    • Bones of Valindra's Minions
    • Light of Simril
    • Lliira's Favor
    • Masquerade Token
    • Ring of Lights
    • Star of Fortune
    • Winterkill Emblem
    • Coin of Waukeen
    • Wonderous Sprocket
    • Wonderous Grommet

    With the unknown fragility of event currency, I definitely have more free time without grinding events hoping to purchase something a year later.

    I have the same concern. I was sure I had items leftover, especially since I'd converted Favors of Sune for Petals, and those were wiped clean for the event. Some consistency and transparency would be appreciated.

    Players that are still here more than a year later put in the effort for those event currencies, and if they're being used again, why shouldn't they remain? All of those currencies should stay where they are.

    Indeed. Consider for example people that due to vacations, work or other RL commitments are not able to participate in the various events every day, and may therefore not be able to collect sufficient tokens for the items they want. Their plan might be to return a year later to gather the rest.

    Deleting the currencies like this is just a big slap in the face of those players. It serves no good purpose, and there are enough other annoyances already.
    Hoping for improvements...

    I think you should reduce the green training mount book to 400 000 AD and the blue training mount book to 1 000 000. It would be really aford-able by a lot of players who wants their "green rank 1 mounts" as fast as purples ones (me included)
    I have to agree with this sentiment. It is still too steep for me to buy these on more than one or two characters. If it were cheaper, I would end up spending even more on my many characters than I would at normal price if I just did those two characters. These costs should a little cheaper than how much an epic mount costs at 500AD per Zen.

    A little cheaper because you've already obtained that green mount somehow and when upgraded, it only affects that character's mount, not the entire account. As it is now on preview, to go from green to purple costs between 500,000 to 750,000 more AD than it would cost to just buy an epic mount from the Zen store, and those are account wide. Single character mounts should be far cheaper, in my opinion. Not more expensive.

    Epic Mounts cost between 2500 to 3000 Zen, which is 1,250,000 to 1,500,000 AD (at 500 ad per zen), and are Account Wide. Whereas to upgrade a mount from green to purple, you'd be spending 2,000,000 AD on a single character mount. That just doesn't seem right to spend more on a single mount than it costs to buy an account wide one.

    So, I feel at most, we should only have to spend a total of 1,000,000 AD to rank a green mount to purple. say, 300,000 for green to blue, and then 600,000 for blue to purple.

    The .com spammers use every means available to them to spam their wares, would be much appreciated to make their lives just that much more difficult. Also, it's annoying.

    I am personally tired of these guys and will be taking incremental changes to weed them out without affecting existing users heavily.

    Also, not in the patch notes is an updated profanity filter for the various websites that have been spamming, I will probably need to add to that as they stat getting clever with the naming.

    In addition, you may have noticed changes going in to reduce the profitability that 3rd party sites have from Neverwinter

    Is there a fix scheduled for some wonky character animations, such as the Wizard's jump and the Greatweapon Fighter's sprint? Are the devs aware about it?

    • Scrimshaw Vendor in Caer Konig now sells BearTribe weapons that are Bound to Account not Bound to Character.
    • Wondrous Bazaar: Many of the items in the "Special Items" tab of the store have had their AD price reduced. Items included but not limited to: Mount Training Manuals, Companions, Mounts and cosmetic armors.


    I think these changes are great. Wish I could trade in my previously picked up Transmutes but will take it.

    I think I would like to see the price of the CW hat raised up a bit. It is a status item and kind of cheapens it. Maybe 500-600k. Something to have a goal for but not unobtainable. Mount prices should be reduced a bit more.

    • Slayer Ring of Xvim can now only be equipped one at a time.


    Could you make it instead so that whether you have one or two rings it only counts as one item towards the set bonus? Otherwise those people who have got two rings have now got a useless piece of jewelry worth 4 silver 25 coppers.....

    Or, worth several thousand AD, or several Hundred RP for new artifact equipment. just saying..

    But really, I'd bet that the coding required to change how set bonuses are calculated is homogenous across all items, and to chance it for 1 gear set would be much more difficult than changing the code to only allow one to be equipped at a time.
    Where'd my blinky-blinky path go?

    Updated the notes to include the .4 changes that are now on Preview:
    • Fixed several logical checks that pop up confirmation windows that could cause them to get into a weird state that could keep them popping up when they should not be.
    • Dread Leigion and Wild Hunt skirmishes are now properly unlocked when their respective campaigns are boosted trough the Zen Market.
    • Tyranny of Dragons is now the first campaign listed and is the default campaign selected when the UI is opened.

    For salvage, an item has to be level 60. Pretty sure the same is true for using something as RP. The slayer items don't qualify for either as any level can use them.

    The gold spammers sending PM's that I've had to manually ignore over the last few days have been consistently 15th level. So while it is nice that a step is being taken regarding spam in Zone and Trade chat channels. The bots that are doing it are 15th.

    an account that has one level 15 character will be able to chat, but based on PWE's recent aggressive actions against gold spammers, if an account is flagged as a spammer, the account will likely be banned or muted. while gold spammers can still battle those limitations, it's going to make it more difficult for them to be able to spam their wares. and i'm sure it's not going to rid the game of spammers completely, but it will limit their ability. i applaud their more recent aggressive moves against game spam.

    When HR is balanced for pve. Split and Sky is currently not useful class collects amazing aggro despite a companion -25%, which is sick. Not to mention the fact that HR should be a class with a lot of AoE skills. And as a matter of split shot is the only skill that makes sense, rain of arrows is more suitable for single targets (barefoot) on whole groups of mobs that are scattered by other classes in half of the map.

    I'd really like to know if devs have planned a buff for Instigator and the AoE encounters of GWF like Mighty Leap/Not So Fast. He needs some love in PvE, because as a Destroyer Striker, a GWF should be one (or the) king of AoE DPS, but he is outdamaged by HRs, CWs and SWs (not by a few, a lot).

    Oh, and I'd like to know if you could make change based on that :

    - Instigator : PvP DPS
    - Destroyer : PvE DPS
    - Sentinel : Tank PvE/PvP

    Just based on that, it would help a lot to balance the GWF, because you could focus each Tree on only one thing.

    Also, Instigator: PvE CC&party debuff; but with new mark Sentinel more useful to proc CombatAdv.
    Destroyer: PvP; tanky builds with a lot of DPS not so bad with new sprint.

    Sent is not ok with new Theating Rush and without true TakeDown.

    Everything Zeb has said I stand behind.

    I appreciate the reductions so far but it still needs to be brought in line with what is sale for Zen.

    You have made it more tempting for me to buy some of the AD items and did a good job with the Wondrous Bazaar cosmetics items...

    But the companions and mount upgrades need to at the very least be in line with 500 AD:Zen prices in the Zen Store.

    Paying $40 dollars for a single mount upgrade when I can buy an account wide T3 mount for 25-35 dollars in the Zen Store is not a good price range. This is even ignoring the fact players, with lockboxes, have already put it to the acceptable price ranges in the AH. Unless the mounts are legendary they sit at the price range Zeb gave as an acceptable example because that is how much it would be worth having a T3 Mount if it was not account wide...
