Hello,

Module 5 is just a hours away which means we will be bringing down the servers to include the Rise of Tiamat content expansion. Estimated downtime is 3 hours, but could be extended due to unforeseen issues.

Patch notes can be found here: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/9005213-patch-notes-11%2F18%2F14

Don't forget to join us on Twitch.tv for the Module 5 Rise of Tiamat launch day livestream at 7 AM PST!

What time is maintenance for you? Click here to find out.

Thanks
Dwight

Update 1 7:02 AM PST Maintenance has begun. Patch notes added.
Update 2 7:39 AM PST Maintenance is ongoing, still looking at the same downtime.
Update 3 8:33 AM PST Maintenance is progressing as planned. No change with the estimated downtime.
Update 4 8:50 AM PST Starting our final stretch for maintenance. Could be back up soon, assuming no issues come up. We'll keep you updated.
Update 5 9:36 AM PST Looks like it will take just a bit longer. Sorry for the delay everyone.
Update 6 10:06 AM PST Maintenance has completed. Sorry for the delay everyone. Welcome back to Neverwinter and welcome to the Well of Dragons!

    Who is right?
    This would be interesting as I would hate to hurry home to catch the start just to have to wait for an hour until I can log in.

    I don't know if someone told you already, but you guys have obviously internal or external communication issues. Or both.

    You can pre-patch at any time by loading the game then closing it. The launcher will re-open and pre-patch.

    Akromatik included a link that will show you when maintenance is in the viewer's timezone:

    As for the GWF paragon path... that really is a matter of personal preference. I enjoy them both pretty equally.

    Thank you very much Zebular!! Much appreciated ;-) Ok just a last one ... do i leave "on demand patching" on or off? It seems that the game laggs less when it is off?

    Can't wait , although I must admit I am pretty disappointed that the fey blessing and dragon horde drops remain BtA , I really hope you guys plan on running 2x RP a heck of a lot more often than once per module or maybe have better drop rates on the RP enchantments planned so this just doesn't turn out to be yet another example of legit players being punished due to botters.

    Leave it off , the game client will fully download with it off so you won't be downloading anything while you are trying to play.

    So we had a countdown for 15 days counting down every second,
    but no one knows how
    Gateway/Client: 7-9 AM Pacific (15:00-17:00 UTC)
    computes with dwightmc's
    Estimated downtime is 3 hours
    For the enemies of mathematics amongst you: you'd need The Doctor to fit 3 hours into the time frame 7-9 AM

    So my question is:
    is the downtime expected to be 2 or 3 hours? You must have a plan, and I understand that it might be necessary to deviate from it, but a plan there must be.

    I'm guessing it's 3 hours, and the 2 hours message was just a placeholder while they didn't know for sure.

    I expect that someone there knows what the plan is but no one bothers to tell it to the crowd ... the EDIT button would work probably!

    Since the only change to Tyrannical threat for SW is the AP thing, I assume it is intended for Warlocks to melt epic mobs in 1-2 seconds for 2-4m dmg?

    This has been a fact since launch of Warlock. I have absolutely no clue why it does not get fixed.

    TT mirrors into infinity and creates a damage circle between adds that just desintigrate all of them.

    This is so obvious and has been for ages now. It affects PvE the most, but I have seen how TT works in PvP as well. It totally breaks the whole class as far as PvE is concerned.

    Would be nice if the currency caps were actually listed, so we know what not to go over. Was the 3k limit on trade bars fixed?

    I barely have time to play the game for an hour or so per day, and I'd much rather do that than dink around with a part of the game that's still in testing.

    Anytime now....
    Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
    If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants.
