Maintenance is currently scheduled for 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, Pacific Time.

Stability
  • Several major network issues have been found and addressed. We should now be able to support many more players with significantly less lag.


Login
  • The Queue position indicator now has more information, as well as buttons that link to Neverwinter Gateway and the Neverwinter Wiki.
  • Fixed an issue where players displayed queue position would incorrectly jump to a higher number than the players actual place in line.


Daily Quests
  • Repeatable quests now have blue text in the Contact UI.
  • Repeatable quests that are on cooldown now properly look disabled, and they have a time displaying the remaining time until theyre available again.
  • Repeatable quests now have tooltips in the Contact UI.
  • Rhixs animations now work more consistently with the contact dialog close-up.
  • Rhix no longer displays a blue exclamation mark over his head when he has no quests available for the player.
  • Rhixs daily quests now properly inform the player to return to Rhix when they are complete.


Professions
  • Professions: Leadership: (Rare) Participate in a Tournament: Increased amount of time to complete this task to 6 hours, up from 4 hours.


Founders Agent
  • The Founders Agent now properly allows players to reclaim all of the promo items players qualify for.


Nightmare Lockbox
  • The @handle has been removed from Heavy Inferno Nightmare winner broadcasts.



User Interface
  • The Astral Diamond Claim button in the AD Exchange now shows a warning that any Astral Diamonds withdrawn belong to the character, not the account.
  • The confirmation window that pops up when trying to move out of an incomplete quest map has had a minor facelift.

Foundry
  • The "Tipsy" achievement is now triggered when the player tips 500 Astral Diamonds, up from 100 Astral Diamonds. (The maximum tip was increased in a previous patch.)

Localization
  • Many updates have been made to French and German language translations.

    NO YOU HAVN'T

    These patch notes are for TOMORROW morning. That's 7 AM Pacific Time.

    Hopefully there might be some other things that get hotfixed too with this but Patch Notes prior to patch is more than amazing. Considering some companies don't even give patch notes still.. until days later.

    Any ETA on when we'll get a fix for the guild bank tab permissions bug? It's rather annoying that our guild bank is still unable to be used since permissions can't be set.

    prolong rare task? That's really neccesary :/ they all already take 2-4x longer then normal tasks and are basically for lower reward. But I guess some people still clicks it so.. good change

    (I love STO duty officers very much, more complex, more fun with random, rare rewards had.. um.. nice rewards if you managed to complete it...)

    STOP!!!!!!!
    Before you put that link to the gateway in the queue. I just found out, trying to login to the gateway when your in a queue will DISCONNECT you from the game, dumping your place in the queue after you log back in

    Might want to check that out first or you going to have another day of pissed of customers.

    OK I made a big mistake on Sunday when I deleted my character that had all of my Astral Diamonds on him. I did not spend any and did not know they were not account bound. I have been unable to contact Customer Service via the website because the page 404's me. I know there is probably not much you can do for my own stupidity but still worth a shot.

    Anyone got any ideas here?

    I hate to be "that guy" but without the @handle, whos to say the notification system isnt just spamming ran gen'd names every so often?

    While you guys are at it, let us delete or throw away the stupid lockboxes. You were already super stingy with bag space, the least you can do is let us decide how we best want to utilize it.

    buy the $200 waste of money and guarantee 'VIP' access. It's painfully obvious why they introduced a queue after a patch and open beta launch.

    Yes I sent a ticket in game on Sunday but may not have routed it correctly perhaps. Never received a reply.

    I would think that the influx of free players to the servers is what caused the queue. I am sure it was there all the time we just never hit it with the Founders and Guardians as the only ones in game.

    I had this problem myself. If you check the Launcher problems thread - http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?162831-Launcher-issues-Read-the-first-post-for-solutions - there is a link to a new .exe file you can download to fix the problem.

    "Super Stingy"...? U have the same amount of space as most games; actually more... (other then the bank) U can get plenty of bags IN GAME... Or u can use the CS and get some big ones faster... Maybe they should have just given you 1 bag where all mats, drops, etc were all combined... Oh, wait thats right u have "free" Separate bags just for those... But hey everyone's gonna complain no matter what right?

    As for the guy asking about Shard sizes Read the Dev tracker...
    "The three Neverwinter shards are made up of hundreds of actual server machines. The issues today were due to some failed network equipment, not the servers running the game. "

    Obviously they have no idea wtf they're doing.
