    Class balance and Lostmauth set changes are coming at a later date after we get more playtime on them on Preview.

    Shadowclad, Dread Enchants and Frozen Treasures are all documented and will be fixed soon.

    Please consider tagging affected sets (or all sets) Always 2RP or adding a RP event when any changes go live...

    Thank you Strum for at least acknowledging these. While still wishing that they would have come sooner than later, I do know that it has got to be a hard and near thankless job you guys do, with hundreds of players screaming and yammering about how their fix should be first on the list (I know I myself have done the same) and then not even offering up a thank you when it does get fixed.

    While you're passing by this thread any news on the strongboxes that are giving astral diamond vouchers when opened with keys instead of surplus/gems etc. I've never known a real money item go so long without a fix.

    please let us skip the damn cut scenes lol

  • eion311eion311 Member Posts: 338 Arc User

    I hope a fix for the Orcus cutscene is on the way. It should start and end before entry, instead it plays while you are in with him.

    Huh? You can skip the cutscene. If you're still watching it while others skipped it and engaged, skip it as well. Or am I not understanding what you typed.

    what about VIP enchant keys,i need to log in to collect before it resets,or will they stack
  • melkelzedekmelkelzedek Member Posts: 15 Arc User
    no they don't stack, my problem also and I am about out of time, downtime while needed I am sure was right in my game time. Now I don't know if I can finish the new campaign even, maybe they will extend it, if not oh well I can stop doing it every day.
  • deathbeezdeathbeez Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 789 Arc User
    9 hours of downtime- you guys must be busy.
  • sadromussadromus Member Posts: 2 Arc User
    :'( I'm frustrated with the time frame. Killed ALL my down hours from work...which means I miss out on my VIP grabs completely for the day. Especially when the ETA for completion changed from 12PM PST when I was first on to 2PST. I would gladly take the hit when I miss grabbing, but can't help being unhappy when I lose out because a patch wasn't completed when first expected. I would like to think I get full value when I put money into a game I play (I don't do much Zen to Astral trades because I like to support), but now I wonder. It would be nice if play logs could be used to determine who is impacted in these situations and compensate them properly with maybe an extra day of VIP to compensate.
  • melkelzedekmelkelzedek Member Posts: 15 Arc User
    Wish they would, but even though is game for us, remember is a job for them and they have lives also, of course extending new campaign a day and reimbursing vip's if I don't wake up in time to get them would help me feel better :persevere: But it is kind of like when your cable or dsl goes out, you pay for it a month... but they do not prorate or refund any down-time. lmao
  • melkelzedekmelkelzedek Member Posts: 15 Arc User
    Well I guess I am done trolling, time to fix dinner for my wife and maybe when I wake tomorrow game will be up :)

    How about fixing the Caer-Konig Frozen Treasures Voucher?

    Oh, I'm glad I saw this. I wrote it up as a bug, but hadn't heard yet that others also have this issue.

    How about fixing (reducing) the ridiculously overpowered stronghold boons? :s

    Dear pr0gr4mm3r thats how u called overpowerd stronghold boons costs many many players 6 months hard hard work, spending hours farming influance, dragonflight and every week donating 100 -300k ad to coffer without new caches. u can count how much is it, and thats reward for players who done that hard job. Now is defenetly easier to rich that boons so i think when u start this hard job for ur guild u'll get that as u called overpowered boons too.
    well explain me this

    took me months of playing to finish icewind, sharndar and dread ring campaigns , yet all those campaigns combined give less then a single guild boon.

    took me months and tons of money to ugdrade my enchants, yet all my enchants combined give less then single guild boon

    ppl spend hugh time and millions on reinforcing, element their armor, upgrade thier artifacts... at the end all down the drain if you are not part of a big guild

    and on top of that, you can have many guild boons not only one...


    i hope ppl spend alot of real money on upgrading the guild cause beside that i do not understand the math behind it


    * and why do you think that small guild with 5-10 active players at a time, works less then your guild on trying to progress? (for average guild it will take 6 month to reach guild hall rank 6)

  • sadromussadromus Member Posts: 2 Arc User
    Thank you. I was very happy to get the chance to get on before heading back to work. :-) Got my VIP's and a little play time in. Now off to work. (Let you know if I find any hick-ups when I get on again tomorrow. lol) ;-)

    110% correct...a big misconcept wich disbalances the game in a hole esp. between bigger and smaller guilds

    Portobello's Wand of Sight

    This item no longer changes the player's companion to look like the player character.

    OH COME ON! You are nerfing the only fun thing about this event (and the game in general since you broke the emotes spam) lol. NO FUN ALLOWED!

    I second this, only went after the wand of sight after I heard of it's side effect! =P I understand that it was fixed since it wasn't working as intended, but can you please reintroduce something that can make companions look like the player character? ^_^

    Also hoping for more stronghold reductions in the future. Still struggling to reach Guildhall level 4... damn dungeon shards...

    How about fixing the Caer-Konig Frozen Treasures Voucher?

    OK, this one sounded both annoying and easy to fix, so I just now went in and found it and fixed it. The fix will take a while to work its way through the system (QA, Production, etc.), but it's now fixed internally, and hopefully will work its way to you guys in good time. (Not necessarily the next patch, but maybe the one after that? Can't promise, though, I'm not a producer!)

    Huzzah! Hope it's repaired on live by the time I need to start making frozen vouchers. Ty wandering Cryptic Dev! =)

    No fix for the stronghold boxes that give Astral diamond vouchers regardless of what the box says?

    ^ a bug got fixed internally to the system and it takes possibly 2 weeks for it to go live cos some ******** egomaniac has made a decision it has to be approved first thru QA and production, allthough its gonna be implemented anyways cos its a bug fix??????.

    Sorry but this "soon" at least for Frozen treasures is estimated 2 patches away, it means 2 weeks from now (if implemented in normal patches, 1 every thursday), we have a bit different concept of soon.

    Current class balance and lostmauth fixes are trivial since class balance in this subject only means OP,DC, and bit of SW.

    The past has shown us that releasing class balance fixes only a few class at a time over other bugged classes, power interactions are out of the park and bugged.

    Without any bug fixes to current bugs in mechanics, feats and powers in other classes, i hope they dont release these changes or we'll get swamped with broken power interactions and bugs, again.

    And most tooltips are still vague if not purely "broken", stating what ever but not what the powers/feats exactly do.

    But i bet theyll go with these "fixes" anyways and well be in a world of bugs and broken game mechanics, again.

    You are my latest hero!!! I know you can't promise a date for the patch, but thank you for checking the forums and fixing this bug!!!

    The quest Needless Distractions in Kaer-Konig requires a Heroic Encounter in either Icewind Pass or Dwarven Valley. About a week, 10 days ago, HE's in Dwarven Valley stopped fulfilling the requirement. Weird. How about fixing broken quests?

    Tested this last night--it is still broken. The HEs in Icewind Pass work, though.
