    So much AD spent for nothing now that you're removing AD costs from campaigns... effing wonderful...

    I've been... intensely critical of these guys lately (to the point where I got banned from reddit for saying something particularly not nice) but I have to say, I've NEVER understood this reaction. "This sucks, it's too hard, you need to fix this" is the cry from players. Thing gets fixed. "This sucks! We wasted all this effort and now you made it easier!"

    Exactly what they heck are they supposed to do here? It's obvious they're focusing heavily on quality of life issues, and they deserve credit for that, not complaints and disdain. They STILL aren't getting any more of my money because of their past actions (until you guys admit what you did and actually apologize for it, rather than claiming some kind of misunderstanding) but these changes do indeed merit respect and a sincere "thank you."

    "Leaderboards"

    What is this?

    They reset the PvP leaderboard every new module. If you only play PvE, move along, nothing to see here.


    Oh! Thanks! no wonder I never cared to notice that before.​​

    This has me a bit confused.

    That's all the ones with planar idols in the loot table. :/
    Next week they will say: " due to unseen problems, those lockox needed to be removed from game, but, you all will be rewarded with 1 planar idol, again we are sorry for the problems that might have caused.

    You guys broke stuff. OP Kite shield of elemental fire can't be refined. No idea if other OP OH artifacts are affected.

    While using windowed Fullscreen, any time I go to other application outside of Neverwinter, when I come back in, I have to reset the brightness calibration on the game. All I have to do is touch the advanced slider and it resets back to the brightness I had set it at. This did not happen before this mod

    Awesome. There was a report of OP OHs having issues on preview, specifically the SH OH but apparently it affected them all and made its way to live.

    Exactly.

    Proof the devs are pursuing all angles to control the goldsellers and botters.

    I'm fine with this - aside from the idols, almost everything left in most of these is cheap junk now anyway (aside from the purple mounts - and in the case of the Unearthed and ME, the orange mounts).

    anyone else notice that the frozen demon sled looks like a normal sled now? so sad.... :(

    Not only is refine broken for my OP shield, but it has the same stats from green to orange right now.

    i had seen how lame the reward box is getting and how it only gives you rank 5 enchantments . and if they would remove them for rank 7 or 8 i know the reward box would be so much better . if they would stop making the reward box so lame when you never get nothing good out of it . cause what i would like to see in a reward box would be either rank 7 or 8 enchantments . or seeing one retraining token along with a appearance change token in the reward box . and if the training books got upgraded as well to epic i know i would love seeing them to . since i know i never get 30,000 ads a power point or a gem to refind my artifacts with , since i thought i would share my thoughts for how i felt about the reward box not giving good item ....

    New queue system looks good, but only looks. I can't enter any pvp after patch - just recieving penalty because someone else declined.

    I'm also sitting in queue and never seeing a match. Also, got a leaver penalty from someone else declining. Saw several attempts to queue, but then reverts back to waiting for queue.

    Looking at the leaderboards, I'm guessing the group queue is working as it appears that 34 pages of players have successfully played multiple matches today and they all appear to be in PVP guilds. I'm queueing as a solo player... :(

    Actually it worked for me once but if someone declines I get 6 minute leaver penalty also....

    I'm also curious if the x2 Profession is now both drops and experience, or if they are two separate events. Will the Profession event on the 24th be x2 experience?

    It is an improvement to the existing 2xProfession event, which in the previous incarnation was so lackluster that basically nobody cared about it.

    I was playing before the upgrade, then I downloaded the update, my game is not out of character select screen. Anyone know how to solve?My cpu not so old, but it is not new. I have friends of the guild have computers and they are playing worse. I'm downloading the game again. I tried forced verification and safely and not forward.
    I installed the game again. Excludes all pc and installed again worked well so was taking disconect the new dgs, forced verification and downloaded over 3 gb, and problem returned

    After collecting the event item from the Reward Agent... I double-clicked the maze engine requisition xp scroll and got the xp boost. Hubby double-clicked on it and got the message "You already have all the items in this package." He's tried restarting, exiting out completely, cleaning... blah. No love. Anyone else having this problem? Better yet... anyone know of a fix or something else we can try?

    It is looking great and I am looking forward to it on the xbox but so far I see one trouble. Why are you ading another lockbox? We have the one that you open and you get lucky enough to get a pack for a mount or something you get to pick it. Just add the stuff from the new lock box into that there is no need for another one that will replace that one. I am still trying to get that black ice war horse and I have all ready opened a ton of those bloody things. In less you are going to put every single mount/companion from the old boxes in the trade bar store. Because so far it seems like not everything is there. That is the only problem I see so far.

    Okay, I feel like I've missed something. Where are the "reduced stronghold costs?" As far as I can tell, everything still costs the same as it did before the patch.

    I have a very small guild, & if the costs are not going to change appreciably, I'd like to know, so I can warn them that's it's going to take a lot more work to build up our stronghold. We were all very excited to hear that costs would be reduced, but after all the patches last week....we see no changes?

    Same for me, was playing perfectly fine before the patch/rollout, but now it stops at or just before the character select screen everything just freezes, if I hover the cursor over something nothing happens for about 2 - 3 minutes then it highlights, if you click it another 2 - 3 minutes and then the action, any attempt to login just gets a timeout. Have tried every combination known to mankind in the options and nothing fixes it. I expect they have removed code supporting older cards/drivers. Several mods ago they did something to the code which prevented older cards displaying the UI properly, many people were unable to play, a few patches (like many weeks) later when they did a weekly patch, they snuck back the code quietly along with whatever else was in the patch and suddenly all was working again. No apology, no explanation. They apparently do not realize how many of their paying customers are on older cards. There are ways of moving forward, and this is not the way to do it. It is patently obvious, the game was playing and working for us all before the rollout/patch and now is not, we have changed nothing on our systems, the issue is obviously what they have done on their end. Don't bother trying to work out ways to get it to work, if it doesn't work now it won't work no matter what settings you try. Just leave the game alone, and every time they do a patch (Thursday) try again, if still not working wait another week for the next patch and try again etc. All we can do is hope they put the code back in like they did before. If they want to remove support for older cards, they need to do it like other places do it... give notice to people so they can organize an upgrade in a timely manner and in the meantime not have their gameplay disrupted. Any other way of doing it just tells their customers that they do not give a you-know-what about them.

    AD, Fey, and Tyranny where reduced. Then for Surplus and Gems they put crafting tasks in professions. Finally for Fey, Dread, Frozen - the campaigns now have the ability to craft vouchers (For example the fey voucher requirements would give 675 points, the voucher gives 1000 - so a bonus of 325 points).

    Hold on I just thought of something. You said you are going to make strongholds easier to level and stuff and I love that but what about guilds that just can not get anyone to join or can not get in time to fight and kill the dragons. Are you going to make it so the fangs/lion stuff is buyable? Or at least give us a quest like in the well of the dragons that gives us favors? And I can help you there like in the well for the fang pve stuff we have to kill X number of dragon cultist that are around the dragon spawn spots. For the pvp lion stuff have a part of the map that spawns player like npcs like how the pvp zone in icewind dale does (but it not pvp in the guild that would be pointless and have too many people fighting brothers in arms to "be on top") and have players kill X number of them then you get one of the respected items for completing the quest and you could do it daily so no one can do it 30 times in a day and get a full set fast. It is fast but still hard it is balanced hopefully it is easy enough so you can do it solo and what it will do is let you add to the dragons a rare chance to drop a piece of the dragon flight gear and same with pvp and the lionsmain stuff.
