Difficultion reduction (aka the sanity patch)

Just a very quick question. When this patch goes in (I'm guess this week?), will all of our existing Vigilance Task container missions be expired such that we have to start them over? That is to say, if I have, say 12/16 or 15/16 or even 2/16 done on some character, after this patch will I need to start over at 0/8 again?
I'm not asking to be a complainer - I fully understand why it would be needed, and I'm fine with it, if that's how it needs to be. I'm mostly curious because if so, I'm going to hold off doing vigilance tasks for now so I don't accidentally end up having to do half again more rather than half as many.
Also -- can anyone confirm sanity will resume THIS week? All I've seen heretofore is "soon" but I may have missed something somewhere.

Well, the patch is on preview right now so.....My opinions are my own. I do not work for PWE or Cryptic. - Forum Rules - Protector's Enclave Discord - I play on Xbox

I don't think we can know ahead of time if progress will be saved or, "Your Vigilance wrapper is out-of-date and must be restarted. We're sorry for any inconvenience." At least not until there's a preview build up and then it can be tested.
I'm definitely not starting anything new. I hope it won't cause people to lose progress, but not confident.

No, coming "soon" to PC, and will already be in place when XBox gets their big EE update (thus they will never experience what PC has). We could potentially see something as early as this week. XBox doesn't get patched as often as we do.

Note that "as early as this week" is just beckylunatic's guess -- don't start any threads complaining if it's not patched this week.
Personally, I'm more concerned about a fix for influence, but any mmo vet knows you need to be patient: patches come when they're ready.
I suspected we were beta testers.

I still feel really bad for new players, they tank the brunt of this crapola.

In what sense? Aren't they rolling back the whole double HP boost? Or is it just in the Vigilance areas? Or do you mean the XP boost?
It is set to coincide with the release of M6 to the Xbox... which is not until early to mid September.
so..........? this week, next week, next month?
"Mod 6. Oh my f****** god. It gutted the game pure and simple. And what wasn't gutted was messed up by the poorly thought out new level cap and equip. The game never recovered from that atrocity".
..............not this one then.............
lol you could probably invoke it to 70 before this patch hits.
It only makes sense that we continue beta testing until it arrives on XBOX.
Where did you see this? The last thing I saw was "soon".
Only so much time in the day. I suppose I could move my game to Preview and give up playing, ya know, the GAME. I don't want to download a whole 'nother instance to see the same things, only a little weaker....
And i had the very slim hope, that they would also take a good look at the costs for equipment from Dread Ring and Sharandar, and may be adjust those costs to a more sane level.
Letting players get boons and equipment at the same time, without grinding for days for either just one piece of armor or one new boon.
Same goes for the Tyranny of Dragons campaign armor, adjusting the prices, so that new players have a real chance of buying them, when they hit level 61.
This would help players to equip their characters better and to move from there to Icewind Dale and Well of Dragons with a more solid equipment.
And the patch drops today so my GWF may just get to lvl 70 soon \o/

Even when the cap was 60 though you couldn't just jump into IWD or WoD unless you bought gear after you capped a character. It's always taken more, why should they change that? Unless this is not what you were calling for and I'm misunderstanding you.
Actually, I've been leaving a mess anywhere I go. Difficulty is dropped everywhere. Easiest Biggrun I've seen since Mod6 hit.
