That's the problem with big Corps. Budgets aren't decided based on how much revenue a game brings in. All that goes to the general coffer, of which choice VP's tend to pull from for their pet projects. Games in maintenance mode are usually the ones that continue to struggle.
It's the problem with modern business. Everything is quarterly. Managers shoot for that good 1 or 2 quarters so they can move on to the next big name project. No pride in building something to last, no connection to the customer. It's all cookie cutter and quitting while your ahead... it saddens me

So true. worked for a company that was touting a new management system that will go partially unnamed (cough something-sigma cough), that was pretty much all about doing the system training and meeting certain criteria for advancement (you must have x managers underneath you with x employees). entire management teams were shuffling around like crazy while whole departments were being ignored and it wasn't until the maintenance teams were literally running out of people to monitor the networks did people start to pay attention. Management for managements sake was never a good idea...
But I digress. where's our DPS when you need them! there's a dragon to slay in the NWO office! also you don't have to worry about incorrect red spots anymore, so no more mysterious sudden deaths when you swore you were out of the red stuff....go kill that dragon!

i see that here. fix the current issues we, as customers, have asked you to address before moving on to Strongholds. I know that the Demon mod is probably tied to licensing as that is the D&D season coming up but Strongholds could have waited. They seem oblivious to the fact that they are running off ol dplayers and newer players are turned off by the lag and items not working etc. There is always going to be an enchant bonus that didn't get coded or something minor, but show us that you care and fix it before telling us about better and bigger and buy more.

Imagine my surprise!! Server is kind of up... except launcher doesn't actually launch the game without crashing. So how many more days to fix this issue?
Its not bloody working! Ive been at this hours now and all I get is a fricking error about my kernel 353.62 not responding, then recovering, a black screen that then goes white and 'NEVERWINTER IS NOT RESPONDING'. So now what? Any ideas anyone?
Is there away to send in game mail from the gateway. I need to inform my guild that one of their officers will not be returning to this broken game. Uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted and reinstalled arc. DONE.
I also experience crashing after the loading screen and prior to character screen appearing. It appears to be related to the video drivers (or the game's implementations). I used both the GeForce GT 630M drivers ('new' 337.89 driver I think for my notebood card) and the standard Intel built-in drivers and neither one worked. Not having any issues with any other games on Steam or the PC and had no issues last night before the patch....
Can't play; myself and hundreds of other players cannot get past the loading screen before the game crashes. This happened after the last patch as well. Many people are complaining (not just about the crashes)...you guys should pay more attention to your players. Without us you wouldn't have a game (unless you just played yourselves I guess).
Is it true that in dungeons with 2 chests you cant preview the 2nd chest anymore? You have to use crafted/bought key anyway? Is it intended? If so, have rewards been boosted significantly? Because as it was in previous modules there is no reason to buy these keys, in longer run you will spend 5x more, than you get rewarded. Especially for Zen keys
I also am unable to get into the game still. Getting crash after white cryptic screen. launcher also say "experiencing technical difficulties. Normal game play not affected". hmmm. Same crash/log on error as with last mod. an update in the forums would be much appreciated by all I believe. 7:53am 8/12/15.

Same problem on my husband's computer still as well. However, it's still very early in California, so I think the devs are sleeping. Which they need after a day like yesterday. Hopefully they can get this fixed ASAP.

I am also unable to get further than the Neverwinter screen before it crashes. this is just since the stronghold update. Message reads gameclient.exe not responding. Please tell us all what is happening.
