Accessing Test Shard

With the new Test shard heading up, it took me a bit to figure out how to get it all setup. Its simple but its easy to miss the first step. (If you dont do the character transfer first, the Test Server option will not show up)

step 1: http://nw.perfectworld.com/preview
step 2: Transfer character to test shard.
step 3: log into Neverwinter like normal.
step 4: Click "Neverwinter Preview" Tab just above where patching status is.
step 5: Wait till it finishes patching
step 6: "Play"

tip: once you start patching the test shard do NOT click the "Neverwinter" tab. It will stop the patching of the test client and when you click "Neverwinter Preview" again it will restart the download from the beginning. Just let it finish patching first.

    I haven't bought anything on the test server but it does appear to be all there and working.

    Shocking Execution: The base damage of this power has been reduced by 60%.

    Luker's Assault is still good, and Invisible Infiltrator makes it every better.

    YW. its very simple, but easy to get lost (I did lol) if you dont know you need to transfer a character first. Than the option to access the test server shows up on the client. Spent a few min searching for a way to switch to the test shard before i ended up looking on twitter and just clicking the link they provided.

    Hey lucky you, you get to know how it feels to play one of the non-op classes. GWF and GF get nothing like shocking execution. Best think GWF gets is a 10-15k top crit very slow animation attack. Oh and btw, it hits for like 3-4k non-crit

    This is at a 10k gear level status. I think you're TR will be just fine.

    Rolls tank class expects to own dps meters and pvp. Clueless much. Whines in forums gets other classes nerfed. Now is the OP class.

    And round and round we go.

    Hi! I'm having problems in accessing the preview shard. "You have no characters in Neverwinter! To create a character, go to the http://nw.perfectworld.com/download&quot; - This is what it says. I have a DC lvl 60 now in beholder. I might know what the problem is but I don't know how to fix it. I did not follow the sequence. Instead of Transferring my character to the test shard, I downloaded/patched it first. Dumb Dumb Dumb!!

    Can anyone help me out? Is there a way to fix this?

    I am lvl 60 but when I downloaded the test server I was lvl 52, I want to transfer now lvl 60 to the test server how do I do that. It tells me I dont have nothing created, when I log in its right there.




    P.S This link pops up saying I need to download the client, but I already have it. Ok I just deleted the one on the test server and tried to transfer again to the test server, and it still says I have nothing created.

    I'm going to assume both of you have characters on Beholder. The devs, in their infinite wisdom, somehow ****ed up and you can't transfer characters from Beholder until they restart the shard.

    No idea, whatsoever, why they haven't done so yet. I just laugh a little more at this game/dev team every day... and I don't even want to. /sigh

    I know people have been having issues, but every time i went to the link it looked fine. Im on Dragon so what you said if accurate makes sense now why some people are having problems. Sigh, i really wonder about this game, so many small issues that just make the game feel unpolished.

    Their lack of communication doesn't help either.

    Why do people playing other classes always complain that they can't do as much damage as a TR? None of the other classes are pure dps, except maybe GWF. Maybe the GWF can't do as much dps as the TR but guess what? You have a lot more survivability then a TR. You wear plate and you have abilities that heal you. So stop whining. If you want to complain then demand more paragon paths so you have more options.
