As always, the content on NeverwinterPreview is subject to change. The investigation list is not comprehensive, but represents some of the issues brought up in Preview threads currently being confirmed or addressed.
Thanks a ton for checking out NeverwinterPreview!
Domination: Mount Hotenow and Rivenscar Ruins: Players may no longer target and attack players in spawn points with ranged or teleport attacks. Players in spawn points may not snipe from their perches there, either.
Aww, but I loved going up there and dancing with AFKers. Nice fix though. Prevents a lot of spawn camping.
Contagion - Cleric
Testament - Wizard
Pestilence - Ranger
Dominion - Paladin

Player characters who phase through one of the solid walls at the beginning of Castle Never will now swiftly meet their end.
Campfires now only act as respawn points after defeating the minibosses preceding them.
The gate after the third boss may now only be used after killing him.
W0h000 -- Finaly!
The lunge animation is executed. The toon "reaches" the target. The toon is then rubbered back to initial launch point of lunge. The target gets away.
Thank you for listening.
same here!
Now if you would kindly address the DPS tree, buffs,debuffs and other healing skills on the cleric so I can slot things other then astral shield,sunburst and (insert crappy third heal here) and be useful to a group that would be much appreciated.
Not, that I disagree with this change. If a task gets used exclusively, at the expense of all others. There is obviously something wrong with it.
But perhaps earmuffs can be included to drown out the vast amounts of NOooooooo! this will generate
Now only a ton of CW fixes that are very needed.

If characters manage to phase through the wall, they'll just die and have to respawn.
For class-related feedback: We hear you and are constantly looking at it. Thanks for your patience and keep the feedback coming.
I always believed this rubberbanding action i see in PVP was something to do with my connection on the GF. I'm not pleased others are experiencing such frustration, but I hope it's something that can be addressed if there are many players like us experiencing it.
Also, I understand the need to address that critical issue with Knight Captain's armor and Into the Fray and other such exploitative hijinks with emergency fixes. My question is, when will Miracle Healer's set be addressed to 1)correct the helmet label, and 2) correct whatever is broken about the 4/4 piece bonus or reword it to reflect what it presently does if that's how it was intended?
I have laptop Lenovo Z500. I'm using Polish locale. I tried run game in Polish and English. My OS: Windows 8 Pro N 64-bit
Razer Blackwidow ultimate, not sure what you mean by locale, unless you mean HDD? Neverwinter is on my
-Thanks
English (UK)
locale = language
via entrance not queue (there is completely no text in the dialogue and you only can abort via double ESC)
Entered norm MD fine.
I second this question. I thought that was patched a couple of weeks ago, but it is NOT working.
