Hey gang! This is something I do over on STO, and I'm bringing it over here. This thread will be updated with the sort of short news items that you would find on NW social media - it makes it easier to have everything in one place instead of forty million threads for things like this. Our first example is below!

Update: If you were experiencing this issue, it should be fixed now, but you'll have to close and relaunch the game.
Hello Neverwinter!
We are aware there are issues with Shield stacking mechanics and companions. We're working on a fix that will standardize non-player sources of Shields and make the rules more consistent on how they stack.
In general, we want companion shields to be a valuable resource, but keeping in line with our recent goals, we don't want them to dominate companion choice. We'll be changing the stacking rules such that any companion shield does not stack with other companion shields (or itself), but they will stack with player-provided shields. Having a companion-provided shield will be good, and having more than one might increase uptime, but more than one source won't increase your maximum durability.
We'll be making some adjustments to other non-player provided shields, namely the Swift Golden Lion's Aureal Armament, to try and improve its value as well.
We apologize for the issues on live and hope to have this update deployed soon.

...in all seriousness, there's a bug with our broadcast system this morning, and you may get our gratitude a bunch of times. We're working on fixing it.
We can confirm that Master Abyssal Gear is currently dropping less frequently than expected in the Master Demonweb Pits dungeon. An update is in the works to address this, and will substantially increase drop rates.
We are also aware that the Realm Engine Core artifact set is not appearing as expected. An update for this artifact set is also coming in the near future.
We thank you for your patience, and we hope to have fixes deployed swiftly.
Currently on the in-game calendar, you may notice the combination of these events running on Thursday, April 25:
• Astral Lockbox
• Wondrous Bazaar Discounted!
• Trade Bar Store Discounted!
We plan to delay these by one week, so that they run Thursday, May 2, instead. The rest of the events scheduled for April 25 should stay where they are.
We’re wrapping up the work on the calendar for this Spring, so more events will likely be showing up on the in-game calendar with a patch shortly after the launch of Adventures in Wildspace.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the new module!
