Hey everybody!

We'll be performing our scheduled maintenance tomorrow (2/13) at 7AM PST (when is that in your time zone?).

Estimated downtime is 2 hours, but could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

Patch notes are available here

Thanks!
Dwight


Update 1 (7:00 AM PST) Maintenance has begun. Thread updated with the Patch Notes.
Update 2 (7:35 AM PST) Maintenance is progressing as planned. Still looking at the same downtime. If anything changes we'll keep you posted.
Update 3 (8:09 AM PST) Maintenance is on going. While you wait, check out the newest lockbox which will be dropping as soon as maintenance is over.
Update 4 (8:35 AM PST) Maintenance is just about done, verifying a few things and servers could be up very soon.
Update 5 (8:50 AM PST) Maintenance is done. Go Go Go Go.
Update 6 (9:10 AM PST) Closing this thread.

    The Auction House once again has sortable column headers on.
    Thank you!

    So the previous 4-5 patches in Neverwinter have always been during PvP & Dungeon Delves.
    Is this done specifically to HAMSTER people off or what the hell? <.<

    No its done at this time because it is the start of Cryptics work day , if the patch goes wrong they can spend the rest of the day fixing it , but that's besides the point , no matter what time they did the patch it would conflict with somebody's play time in some way since this game is available worldwide and not just in one specific country.

    2 hours, what to do what to do, I have a bit of a hangover and the only thing my brain could manage to do was jump on the roofs of PE XD

    They do scheduled maintenance first thing in the morning (for them) on Thursdays. Because of that it will always fall into the dungeon delve time on Thursday.

    Patch starts at 7am their time. What time do you think people should have to get up in morning to go to work?

    I give them plenty of credit also. If there is a problem with the patch, they have put in extra hours to fix it and I've seen servers go down over 12 hours later with a fix for issues that came with a patch. Nothing is perfect, but they do put in extra time to try to get thing right promptly.

    Even if it might surprise some of the players, the devs don't really plan their maintenance hour to HAMSTER off players.
    Also, lol prettycelt. I want to be able to do that so bad >_<

    I'm not really blaming them for the time they patch, I blame them for making us miss out on the DD every ******* time they do it. IF they could at least "pause" everything that happens in-game while the servers go down I'd be just fine with it. That way it would be fair for everyone.

    Well that wouldn't be fair either for those who are waiting for the next event that should start by regular time.

    Disappointed in the patch notes, mainly because the Guardian Fighter changes on preview still have not come over, thus the GF is still under-appreciated in group play. Devs, we could really use that Enhanced Mark and 150% Threat buff!

    Thanks for posting this link, but we've been linking to the patch notes threads within the maintenance thread for awhile now. What I'll do is discuss it with others to see if linking directly to the patch notes page is a better way to handle it. Either way, we've got this handled properly. Working as intended :)

    currently there are two test shards up: mimic and owlbear. mimic has proposed changes on it for the upcoming pvp changes and owlbear has the build with weekly updates on it. all content on these test shards is subject to change before it goes live. and currently, the date of the pvp changes has not been announced yet.

    Just wondering why you make a link race.
    Your link leads me to
    http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/forumdisplay.php?1141-Patch-Notes
    which leads me to
    http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?606731-Patch-Notes-NW-10-20140128a-9
    which then again directs me to
    http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1096761
    where I finally end up with the information I was looking for!

    Would it hurt, when updating the post with "Update 1 (7:00 AM PST) Maintenance has begun. Thread updated with the Patch Notes."
    to enter the correct URL to the news?

    I just want to understand why you hide the good news behind a wall of links to follow.

    the scheduled maintenance thread is created ahead of time to notify players of when to expect it here on the forums. a link is provided then to the patch notes sub-forum. when the new patch info is provided, a thread is created in that sub-forum pointing to where the patch notes have been posted on the website. it may not be a single click solution, but it's not really hidden.

    And he is saying they should update the link when the patch notes are posted so it doesn't require following multiple links.

    yet the current process seems to be internal procedure, whether that is for historical purposes or for whatever reason. as DwightMC stated, WAI.

    And he was giving feedback on how it works for the players so that maybe it can be improved. Do you not understand how feedback works?

    A link to a forum that contains a thread that contains a link to another page might be a little inefficient, i've seen lots of "why do you link a link to a link in another link?" threads popping out for a while as well (though they get deleted in minutes) :D

    of course. it is my opinion however that it's being a bit nit picky.

    Link craziness aside, this weeks patch is overwhelmingly lacking in substance.
    Definitely not an Arc User.

    I don't want to cause anyone any trouble here, but to say "Patch notes are available here" leads me to the conclusion that I get linked to the patch notes as such. Not to a sub-forum where all patch notes are listed since the dawn of time (which in this universe was 04-30-2013).
    In the forum topic then there is a link to a news article, in which I can find the patch notes.

    True would be "Link to the forum subsection where you can find the tread that contains the link to the patch notes".
    But that would be way too complicated.

    Having found and read the patch notes I want to express my delight and punch in my praises for fixing the sorting on the AH and get denied!
    Am I the only one that is prohibited from posting there?
    "Be the first to leave a comment on this page!"

    You bet ... tried that, I am banned it seems. Maybe too many questions ... I should stop asking questions!

    the news section has not allowed comments for some time now. usually there is a link to the official forums announcement of whatever the news article is about if you want to discuss it.

    I may just try my luck with the Lockboxes. Don't really care about another bound mount, but the artifact would be cool.

    Oh, and least your helmets won't cut through your nose anymore!
