The Protector's Garden no longer lets you in. Again.

Can you please send the locksmith back over soon?
I also checked the summer water battle items, that fix is not reversed.
Previous thread, that hopefully has your dev ticket connected to it somehow so you can easily find it: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1261356/the-protectors-jubilee-garden-no-longer-lets-you-in

Already we have to re-spec our characters with just about every new MOD and this has been an ongoing problem for years without resolution.
Please either fix the issue or rip the door off of the protector's garden to allow everyone access sans having to earn the 'garden pass'.
This is just something that sometimes happens with programming.
Imagine, instead of a complicated program, that you and a coworker are working on writing a document together. Covid hits and you both start working from home, but for some reason, you can't use google docs or similar, so you can't see each others changes. So you agree that you will both work on separate parts of the document. For example, you divide the remaining chapters between you. However, both of you also spend time revising the part of the document that you had already completed, so that it connects better to your chapters.
When you get your documents together, they have to be merged. That means adding your new chapters and their new chapters together, and for the original, previously existing parts that you both changed you have to decide who's changes to keep. You send the merged document to your boss for reviewing.
Now imagine another coworker who was also put on this document when you all had to start working from home. They also wrote some of their own unique chapters, but didn't touch your original work that you and coworker 1 had written before the pandemic. This coworker is taking a bit longer writing their chapters, so it is a few weeks after you had merged your work with coworker 1 and sent it to the boss, that their work is ready to be merged in with yours. The deadline is coming up soon, so you're in a bit of a hurry when you do this. You mistakenly think that they had also changed some things in the original part. So, you do your best trying to merge those chapters together.
Now, the result of this is that changes that were made by coworker 1 and you after you started working from home have now been accidentally undone, because you mistakenly merged older chapters back into the rewritten chapters.
This happens in big programming projects all the time. For sanity reasons, it is not possible to work in a google docs type of way, where everybodies changes are always visible to everyone. You work on separate versions of the program, just like in the situation I described, and sometimes something goes wrong when these separate versions are merged together - especially when the separate versions both make a lot of changes, like, say, a new class and a new levelling system.
But I suppose you're right, for about 6 years with the release of a major modification something in the programming tends to get broken, players still have to respec every single one of their characters after a major modification. I just hope the protector's garden 'fix' works as intended.
This has been fixed, I have only checked on my main toon this time and I will check again after the next patch but it's very promising that you reviewed that this won't happen again in a later patch. Thank you!
