in NeverwinterPreview - Announcements/Release Notes
Content and Environment
Chult
  • Merchant Prince's Folly: Archer guards are no longer stuck holding their bow drawn after combat ends.
  • Tomb of the Nine Gods
    • Players must now successfully "Find Temple Entrance" before they can unlock the related respawn campfire and open the door.
    • Players now consistently receive loot from the final boss if they die during a successful attempt.
    • Respawn locations have been updated for a smoother experience when dying.
General
  • Various minor text issues have been addressed.

Combat and Powers
Classes and Balance
  • Cancelling a power with charges before the attack goes off no longer incorrectly consumes a charge.
  • Guardian Fighters and Oathbound Paladins should no longer sometimes activate their Block / Sanctuary powers without gaining the benefits.
Companions
  • Lightfoot Thief: This companion's Active Companion Bonus no longer ticks several extra times on the first damage tick.

Items and Economy
Artifacts
  • The Skull Lord Staff now properly deals an appropriate amount of damage based on its tooltip.
General
  • All Chult rings no longer give their triggered stat buffs to Companions.
  • Attempting to salvage some gear no longer incorrectly shows the Convert Refinement Points window.
  • Black Ice Crafting: The Guardian Fighter task for Elemental Alliance Assault Greaves now actually exists, functions, and requires Alliance Assault Greaves.
  • Pioneer Equipment can now properly be purchased for other classes from the vendor in Port Nyanzaru.
  • Sandy's Assault Pants
    • The dazing effect of Sandy's Assault Pants is no longer applied intermittently.
    • A placeholder buff icon is no longer displayed while the effect is on cooldown.
  • The epic dungeon Kessell's Retreat no longer has a chance to grant more Astral Diamonds than expected.
Zen Market
  • Dragonborn Race Reroll Bundle can now only be purchased once per account, as there's a separate Race Reroll purchase for 1500 Zen.

  • Resource values are now displayed in Donation Log entries.
  • The commands "ExportGuildActivityLog", "ExportGuildBankLog", and "ExportGuildDonationLog" now exist.
  • When a search in the Guild Logs is cleared, it actually clears the search string in the box too.
  • When searching for guilds, there is now an option to choose whether to show only guilds with someone online who has invitation privileges.
Inventory
  • When Inventory Icon Size is set to Small, items can now properly be moved between the Bank (or Guild Bank) and the inventory.
Options
  • Completionists rejoice / lament! There's now an option under HUD settings to show low-level contact indicators, for things such as low-level quests.
Refinement
  • Artifact Equipment is no longer automatically included when selecting "Choose convertible equipment" in the Refinement Point Conversion window.
  • The end of the Refinement bar now properly shows endcap art.
  • When refining in bulk, it now shows a prompt if the player has an item with slotted enchantments, kits, or jewels.

Art, Animation, and Audio
Animation
  • Bulette mount: The spawn-in animation should now be smoother.
  • Civilians should sink into the ground less frequently when walking up stairs.
  • Deinonychus mount: Several clipping issues have been addressed or improved.
  • Gas Spore mount: The spawn-in animation no longer double-plays.
Character Art
  • The "Layered" hairstyle no longer stretches in weird ways while on a mount.

Localization
General
  • Several minor localization issues have been addressed in French, German, Italian, and Russian locales.

Tools

    Looks good!

    I would like to say that while "Artifact Equipment is no longer automatically included when selecting "Choose convertible equipment" in the Refinement Point Conversion window." is great, a similar fix should be put in place for Weapon and Armor Enhancements. I don't know where the threshold is but Lessers will be added automatically.

    Figured it would only be a matter of time before the Chult rings got 'adjusted'. Oh well.

    I really appreciate the charge changes. This will create a lot more diversity to use those powers with charges without charges being consumed incorrectly. The fixes to the GF and OP are appreciated. Thank you!

    The option to buy in bulk in all shops would be nice instead of having to spam in order to say spend all my seals/bounty items

    Sry to nitpick on small things, but Chult boons still won't give proper IL increase. Is it so hard to fix?

    Otherwise many good fixes/improvements, ty.

    @terramak This doesn't fix the unintended values of bleed ticks (which don't scale to weapon base damage), right? Any chance you will fix this too?

  • arcanjo86arcanjo86 Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 1,093 Arc User
    @terramak "All Chult rings no longer give their triggered stat buffs to Companions.", is it the effects from the rings or the stable stats awell? clarify this please.
  • aerthynaerthyn Member Posts: 68 Arc User
    The Guild Activity log isn't WAI. It doesn't tell you the player/handle who invited/kicked it just states the name of the guild instead. Can this be fixed?

    @brewald - There's a change to that in internal testing, but it's scary enough that I wanted to get additional testing before including it in this build. I believe we're gonna go live with it in the next few weeks, though.

    @arcanjo86 - The "Equip" stats and Enchantment slot stats will still apply to the companion, but things like "+1000 Power when you do a thing" will not.

    @aerthyn - Thanks for the heads-up, I'll make sure people know.

    @kopros666 - It's possible, but I'm not aware if we're targeting it. I'll let folks know.

    Thanks!

    @terramak, if you guys could fix this bug before M13 that would be awesome.

    It's the bug where, as soon as combat ends, my companion goes and attacks a nearby group that I haven't engaged. It's getting really tiresome.

    I've tested this many times and I've verified that dodging has nothing to do with it. It seems that, for around 3 seconds after combat ends, my companion will attack anything within a certain radius -- one that seems to be roughly twice as large as the distance I would have to be to aggro them. To prevent it, as soon as I see him charging at a group, I have do dodge away from them before he can close the distance.

    It's making doing dailies a real chore.

    try /exportguilddonationlog nameyouwnattogiveit.csv

    It should be saved in the games "Live" folder under neverwinter/ARC

    @terramak The guild bank export is great, but it doesn't say if the interaction was a deposit or a withdrawal. While I can work it with a bit of effort it would be great if this information was included.

    Cheers.
