    I deleted the game and reinstalled it yesterday and up to the point where I was prompted to download the 2.01 patch I can still log in. Now I keep getting connection timeout. Way to go guys. It's hard to say nice things when stuff like this keeps repeating itself no? Fix one thing break another three.

    I am in the same place. I think there's some sort of maintenance going on.

    It's possible we need to install whole game again. But i want official answer to this issue asap. Also i'd like to make sure the caracters i have won't dissapear. For some reason the game saves in PS4+ cloud service were 2 days old.

    Character data is saved on the server. No character data is saved on your computer or console. Regardless, you shouldn't need to reinstall. When Sony resolves the issue, you'll be able to log in on or update your current installation. There's no guarantee that a reinstall will fix it anyway, you could just end up with the same update error as before.
    The Cloud save is your "options" settings for the game not your characters.
    Here is a way to simply explain it, buy a worthless item,
    close the game,
    go to a friends place,
    use friends PS4 to sign in and move the worthless item in your inventory (don't sign out),
    go home and sign in (interrupting the ability to cloud save),
    check if the worthless item has moved,
    this is how you will know if the "cloud" is involved with your game saves in any given game.
    This has nothing to do with Neverwinter. Neverwinter in an MMO, MMOs do not use cloud or local saves. Data is saved on the game's server.
    OK MR Z explain hoe this has nothing to do with neverwinter when this is how the saves work in MMO's that save on the server and not in your personal system. You may want to try the test before disclaiming something that apparently is something new to you and you don't understand. You may want to research what's being said before you add a comment that discredits your position. Someone was asking about the cloud holding on to your characters game save and it does not. Your character save is on the server you are playing on and is rechecked with your system often. Unless you can think of a better test to show the difference between a cloud save and the internal server save?


    Stop skim reading and actually read and understand what is going on.

    The system seems to be down or I can't get in if I have to redownload the game a 3rd time I will probably go play another mmo that has this kind of stuff worked out, not to mention counter productive comments added by knowledgable persons whom can answer the question but choose not to for some reason?

    It'd be super interesting to learn the respective ages of the individuals posting in this thread...

    Does anyone know if they bring all the servers back up at once after maintenance or do they stagger them?

    There's no need to even test or explain cloud saves, as Neverwinter doesn't use local or remote saves. It used internal server data. It's been stated by the game developers themselves that character data is saved on the server itself. So really, I don't understand why you're trying to argue or discredit fact.
