Hi all,

We'll be performing scheduled maintenance at 7 AM PDT. Estimated downtime will be 2 hours, but could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

Patch notes this week is only the Security Update and the inclusion of the Wonders of Gond Event:

Patch Notes: NW.15.20140707a.17:

We will be implementing a new security system that will transition some accounts into a probationary period until we can verify the validity of their real money payments. During the time that these accounts are on probation, they will be unable to sell Zen on the Astral Diamond Exchange and all Zen Market purchases will be bound to their account. (Read More)

Wonders of Gond Event will start at 10 AM PDT - Gond has identified Neverwinter as requiring encouragement and has sent his Clerics to offer rewards for artisans and engineers that can craft valuable and innovative items.

Thanks,

Dwight

Update 1 (7:09 AM PDT) Maintenance has begun
Update 2 (7:16 AM PDT) For information regarding the Security update please visit: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?719681-Neverwinter-Security-Update-07-31-14
Update 3 (8:28 AM PDT) Patch notes have been posted. The only patch is the security update and wonders of gond.
Update 4 (8:50 AM PDT) Doing some final checks, should be back up soon if everything goes to plan.

    Is Preview also offline? I tried logging in and received an "unable to authenticate" error in the launcher, so i was not even able to load Preview.

    Thanks!

    Still no patch notes? We're 20 min into maintenance right now. How can you start a server maintenance without knowing what you're going to do? Or are you just running late?

    Patch notes will be posted once they are finalized.

    Something ALWAYS causes a ruckus. They can announce a free zen give away and you can bet someone will be unhappy about it.

    That's why I asked. No serious admin does a server maintenance without having patch notes. Add to that they started late, and Dwight seems to be living in 3 alternate realities and I tend to get a little nervous.

    Wait for it..... coal wards from zen store bound?

    Guys, he's just the admin. He's not a developer. He's not responsible for writing the patches, only posting the notes when he has them.

    And sometimes there are NO patch notes, it's just maintenance. And it happens every single Thursday at this time.

    You guys need to relax a bit. Nothing unusual is going on.

    I posted this before in the wrong place I think, but I was wondering if the dungeon chest bug is going to be fixed with this patch? At this point, there is hardly incentive to keep playing if I can't get new gear from dungeons...

    Yep, getting blue items from epic chest, no use to do DD currently and paying for a key is worthless, simple waste of AD.

    The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.

    WAIT!!! They are giving away free ZEN?
    That is unfair! I just spent 200$ on ZEN to get an edge and now they are giving it away for everybody FOR FREE? Call the state attorney!

    -Has some one seen the patch notes, I swear I left them by the printer.
    -Nope
    -Not me
    -I saw some papers by the shredder and put them in, may be that's it?
    -Hope you got a soft copy.
    -No the file got corrupted was going to scan the hard copy.

    No patch notes, because of no patches made is worst possible scenario.

    There are system/admin/installation patch notes, and then there are...

    • heavily redacted
    • drastically over summarized
    • information minimized
    • ADHD centric
    ...patch notes.

    And those take awhile to make up ... er gather.
