Update 2:48pm
The issue with the Renegade Illusionist Companion is confirmed to be occurring on both Xbox and PS4. Since the fix requires a restart, we will be holding off until next week's maintenance to roll it out.

****


Update 1:39pm
Maintenance has been completed! In order to unlock the game but still investigate some issues, we have disabled the purchase of pre-built characters on Console. In addition, for Xbox (Update: PS4 too) players who link their account to ARC, this will not properly unlock the Renegade Illusionist Companion. We hope to have these issues resolved as quickly as possible.

*****

Update 1pm PT
We have extended the maintenance 30 minutes for some additional QA checks. New unlock ETA is 1:30pm PT.

******

Maintenance has been extended for Neverwinter on Xbox One and PS4 due to certain issues noticed while doing the final QA checks. We are working on addressing these issues before unlocking the builds. Thank you for your patience!

    any updates?

    They are doing another round of QA checks after having investigated the issues that came up the first time. We'll either unlock at 1pm or provide another update before then if any more news comes in.

    For those curious, the issues they found would have impacted the experience of a number of players, impacted certain purchases (in a bad way for players), and overall hurt the gameplay experience. They were unusual issues so it took a bit to understand what exactly was happening.

    Game Comsole server maintenance should occurs durring the over night hours not during the morning & afternoon hours because it disrupts game consoles gamers game play

    Except this game is played by people all over the world so you're always going to be disrupting someone. The world doesn't revolve around you.

    > @nitocris83 Sorry to bother however, I am confused as to when and if i'll be able to play Neverwinter again. On the "Home" screen while attempting to play this a.m. it had stated that maintenance would be finished at 11am. Ok well, it's now 3:35pm (EST) and everytime I try to start the game, it says that it cannot connect to the server and I don't understand. I even went as far as uninstalling and re-installing the game and still the same result. I'll be super upset if I won't get to play anymore and furthermore, i think it would be pretty helpful to gamers that play Neverwinter if ARC would be a little more detailed on their info about updates, additions, maintenance, etc.

    Maintenance was extended as it states right at the beginning of this thread and in the subject of the thread. Frustrating? Sure. But the answer was right there for you.

    On the contrary, I think it'd be fantastic for my character not to have pants

    The build for this new update passed both Sony and Microsoft certification, but that does not guarantee that the launch day data import won't experience some issues. While we had contingency plans for certain issues that may show up, the ones today were unusual in that there seemed to be no rhyme or reason for them so we needed extra time to investigate and come up with either a solution or a backup plan.

    The engineers have been here since before 5am (I was lucky and didn't have to be here until 7am myself) so no one really wants to have to extend maintenance :(
