    Was it brought to attention yet, that Luskan on at least the Dragon server is completely useless?
    If you are aliened with Luskan, basically you loose no matter what. Due to whatever bug is going on with that place.
    My guild leader picked Luskan, so our whole guilds kinda screwed right now due to this. Please fix it. - . -

    Had to place this in here as well. To see if it reaches anyone that's de-bugging <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> right now.

    Software debugging is not as simple as you can imagine.

    Closing to post new patch notes shortly.
    Silly me, posted in the wrong forum. Apologies for the confusion.

    Currently tracking these issues, thanks for bringing them up in the thread.
    • Savage Enchantment not properly giving or displaying buffs.
    • History tab clears History upon viewing it a second time.
    • Load issues with Gauntlgrym that resulted in characters getting stuck and unpredictable scoring / victory behavior (e.g. reports of catapults switching side, factions feeling like they're fighting an uphill battle).

    is it hard for simple minded people like you to understand... people that work on bugs are not the same people that work on new content... their are divisions in a company and rarely do people from different departments cross over.

    This does not excuse them for releasing bugged/incomplete content or mechanics!!

    Have you ever worked in a development team? Sometimes things fall through the cracks, the game breaking bug was happening on one server, it's impossible to catch every single bug before the content goes live.

    • History tab clears History upon viewing it a second time.

    This isn't exactly how your bug works. You can write and view your bio as many times as you want during the same session. You can even view it if you log out and back in and right-click on your upper left-hand character portrait and select "Inspect". But if you log out and back in and open your character sheet and click the history tab, it will eat your bio. That is how your bug works.

    Thanks. That info should help us find and fix the issue more quickly.

    Thank you! I know it's a triage situation and probably seems like a small thing (just some words, right?), but to the people who bring their imagination to Neverwinter, your Foundry authors and roleplayers, that little space for words constitutes at least half of what their characters are, and in some cases a whole lot more.

    after searching everything for a week i might have found a little fix for it. simple yet effective


    "fix":
    Rightclick the icon of the game, go to properties, change the "normal window" option to max, open the launcher, close it, change it back to "normal window" and it'll show up again.

    hope it works for u guys its the only thing ive found that works for me in over a week lol

    Thanks Terramak, one for posting here, and two for sharing with us the issues you are focusing on.

    If I may, I noticed your list of issues are all from NEW CONTENT. Any chance you guys will focus on issues from OLD CONTENT?

    If I may add to your list:

    * PLEASE ADD TO CURRENTLY TRACKED ISSUES *

    Here is a list of current CW bugs:

    Nightmare Wizardry: Applies the Combat Advantage debuff to your entire party and yourself, not just your target.

    Snap Freeze: Doesn't work at all.

    Tiefling racial is not compatible with and overwrites the feat Tempest Magic.

    Archmage set bonus does not work.

    Gladiator Mage set bonus only works with four encounter powers: Chill Strike, CoI, Entangling Force, Ray of Enfeeblement.

    Fatebender set bonus does not work. The buff icon appears, but the damage is apparently not increased for any encounter powers.

    All feats that give a bonus to AoE damage + Evocation class feature only work on two powers: Steal Time & Shield Pulse

    None of the feats that boost damage to Storm Pillar work.

    Elemental Empowerment only works for CoI. Verdict is still out if it even applies the Arcane buff at all.

    Assailing Force does not work in PvP vs Trickster Rogues or GWFs. The change to CoI to make it a DoT is primarily responsible, as the supposed changes to remove DoT cleansing from TRs and GWFs actually did not do as advertised. When they use things like Impossible to Catch in the case of TRs, the DoT and the debuff are both cleansed.

    Icy Terrain, Sudden Storm do not crit. Neither can Shards of the Endless Avalanche when slotted in the Tab.

    Eye of the Storm does not apply to any power that has a persistent effect: SotEA, Icy Terrain, Sudden Storm, etc

    Sudden Storm does less damage than the tooltip indicates.

    High Vizier's set bonus does not properly apply:

    - High Vizier Set: Reports of Chill Strike not proccing set bonus in Tab slot.

    - High Vizier Set: Proc not working correctly with Steal Time; only works on one target even if multiple targets are hit by the power.

    - High Vizier Set: Reported not to proc with Icy Terrain now.

    Shadow Weaver's set bonus sometimes decides randomly to turn itself off in combat. You have to remove and put back on a piece of the set to re-enable the bonus.

    Ray of Enfeeblement: Cooldown not affected by Recovery when in the Tab slot. Also when tabbed, the cooldown is not affected by any feats that reduce the cooldown.

    Icy Terrain: Not properly granting the right amount of Action Points.

    Shield Pulse: Cooldown now unaffected by Arcane Mastery stacks. Furthermore, it sometimes removes what stacks you do have when you burst the shield.

    Icy Rays: Not proccing Elemental Empowerment.

    Singularity: Somehow lost the ability to benefit from Power. Damage is less than stated on the tooltip. Possible stealth nerf. The pull effect has also been reduced without mention.

    Storm Pillar: Destructive Wizardry feat not proccing unless targets are close to the caster (Estimated ~10 ft).

    Storm Pillar: Does not benefit from Combat Advantage on the initial target.

    Steal Time (& possibly others): Cooldown can be initiated without the power actually applying if cast immediately after a teleport.

    Orb of Imposition still indicates that control spells get +5% duration even when maxed at 3 points (and should be at 15%). At three points invested, you still actually are only getting 5% duration.

    Icy Terrain and Shards of the Endless Avalanche: Little to no AP gain, all reports indicate that you only gain AP from SotEA when it is initially summoned and SOMETIMES when it explodes. Icy Terrain gives no AP at all.


    You may have noticed this is just the bug list from the Control Wizard class. I'm sure the other classes have their list as well, and are waiting (impatiently) for them to be fixed. Like many, I have stopped playing this game entirely, until these OLD problems are fixed. I'm not interested in Alchemy, Gauntlegrym or any other new content, until these OLD issues are fixed FIRST. Got it?

    p.s. when the above are fixed, please send out a global email to let us all know.....


    Thank you for your attention!

    Counterbalancing your post are the posts that claim they do not care about bug fixes, they just want new content or they will quit playing. So what we will get is a compromise, some bug fixes, and some new content. As with every compromise no one will be happy. So that will just leave us realists to muddle along, until the extremists at both ends reappear and the whole debate begins anew.

    Great fix for the Alchemy on the Gateway but i have noticed a separate problem. I have five char slots (One for each class). While at work I do Protect Caravan on all five player chars slots two to three times a day. When I get home in the evenings and log in each char for their daily invocation I notice that none of the AD from completing the Protect Caravan are present in my refine rough astral diamond bank slot. Anyone else seen this occur or am I doing something wrong. If it is the latter I would def. appreciate the feedback. Thank you guys for all the good work. Keep it coming.

    Okay logged into the game today. Still the lag from all the rubberbanding not yet fixed.
    Went to see Makos' apprentice but he must've been drunk somewhere else because he wasn't there at the dais. :p
