    Does this mean the current patch notes have to wait until next week or will there be another maintenance scheduled to get them in?

    3.5 hours and all it is going to be is a server restart? Yet previous patches with updates usually take only 2 hours...

    Something is being deployed - yet looks like it's not being made live. Probably all of those changes and then next week it's just an on/off switch.

    Or the Devs are going to plan to test on the live servers - maybe the extra time is for more quality control?

    It would be nice if they would say "Hey folks, fix A and adjustment B aren't quite working the way we wanted so we're pushing the patch out another week. Apologies."

    It is what it is though so I'll just be standing in the corner with my popcorn.

    When people are able to do literally over one billion damage ( yes over one billion ) in one hit then yes , this game is becoming a laughing stock among other mmos due to bugs like this being able to run week after week..

    I heard people in zone chat talk how this game is now "exploit2win". I really wish these issues would be taken care of and exploiters punished.

    LOL @ conspiracy theory. How did that ninja nerf to dragon hoard enchantments work for You? There sure wasn't any patch note about that. 3.5 hours when they have always just been 2 hours for server reset tells me something is going on. Maybe something good, maybe something bad, you never can tell with these folks. But hey, not complaining because it is fact, a great game!

    I want the exploiters to be taken care of and punished as well, but I believe that will never happen. And aside from that I'm hoping everything goes well today. I had to reinstall Arc and reinstall Neverwinter due to it crashing, then after 12 hours it wouldn't install and the data deleted Itself. Then I finally got to install Neverwinter today Lol. So I'm just hoping to get some play time later, but hopefully this whatever it is goes well.

    I agree.

    It's very, very sad though.. in all the years (decades) that I played "PnP D&D", there was never any thought given to "winning". How can you win a game that goes on infinitely? This is what makes me so frustrated when I see people focusing on capping out and getting BiS, then complaining because they're bored, or things are "too easy". Well, no <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> Sherlock. You just exploited or paid your way to the top. Once you're there, then what? They've removed every ounce of their right to complain.

    D&D is about the journey, the adventure, the exploration. Sadly, in this new world of MMOs, that line of thought has been replaced by "win at all costs". It's sickening. Especially those cheat their way to greatness. What's the point? Is your life that pathetic and sad that you have to e2w or c2w? Dishonorable cowards.

    I have talked to a lot of players that state without the exploits in the EPIC dungeons... they would never be able to complete them, thus making any and all dungeons obsolete, thus now making this game obsolete. Until they reduce the damge dealt, AND damage needed to killed the bosses, the exploits are the only thing keeping this game going for a lot of those players. The idea that: you need the gear you get in certain a dungeon, so that you CAN run that dungeon is INSANE. Instead of an Item Level next to the Dungeon name, it should just state: "You have little to no chance to beat this Boss"

    Exploit2Win & P2W are WAI as far as Cryptic are concerned...

    Yeah those Boss dungeons are quite insane. I was thinking on the line, If you want that much damage then make the gear so You can Actually run the dungeon without exploits. That is what keeping the game alive.
    I do not see this game a P2W model because I've seen much worse games where money is the only thing to strive in a game. Its Pay to not grind Companions look nice. Yet You can grind the diamonds for Zen (this is the functionality that makes it not pay 2 win) This game has a problem with bugs. (hey They are working on it give it time) Servers have been quiet laggy. All cant be fixed in one day. It takes time. but if the devs release a bug patch everyday and say we are releasing a bug patch rather than a simple server reset? NO server reset takes 3 hours I'm sorry. Unless They are testing the server stability. Thought i would share my words aswell. And ninja patches doesn’t turn out good.

    Yeah well, what we have at the end levels is Too Much Grind that was a real PITA already before the difficulty scaling took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and ended up in Silent Hill.

    so you wish to see people who have spent ridiculous amounts of money/time/effort in acquiring a certain item being punished for using that item because (due to dev's errors) it's giving them certain (unintended) advantage? and before you throw rocks at me, i'll let you know that i belong to that less fortunate group whose most valuable assets are giving me (again, unintended) disadvantage and for the same reason. what choices do i have? to either sit and wait for the game developers to fix their mess, or pay a few thousand bucks to buy something else. same as those "baddies" who are "exploiting" the game with their broken gear.

    ps: i would love to see this lynch mob do a T2 run with fully "blue" geared party (no lol sets, fancy enchants etc.), how much they'll spend on pots and injury kits and how much they'll earn at the end of that run. also would like to know how long it would take such party to finish a T2 dungeon.

    Oh Hello there Ishtar ^^ I had forgotten your @ So I couldn't add you from my new character. Lol. I'll do that when the servers come back up. But anyways. I really do hope something is being done other than a reset :)

    What's the use of playing here ? Another week of not being able to do dungeons. Why can't they do something about the insane damage in the dungeons as well ? I was in a dungeon where two TR died and where able to come back to fight the boss while we were standing behind the wall, I can understand ppl find cheats for that because it's impossible to do the dungeon otherwise. I really like this game but to have another week like this....
