    Lol, too true. Tack on three hours to your estimate, so when you get it done early they know you as a miracle-worker!
    I have the ability to heal you. A shield to protect you. Blades to slay your foes. Magic! So I'm a tiefling, so what? We have a common enemy, and a common goal. Here, you can put ornaments on my horns if it'll put you at ease.

    I thought this Festival was better than last years mostly for the Parcels. Lots of fun and having a variation of tasks to grind (not just mob killing) is always a pleasure. I do think that Maintenance and Event timing should be altered to NOT coincide with the event's end.

    Gifts of Simiril...thats what i couldnt rememeber. Your maintence makes it impossible for me to get my last Gifts of Simiril. are you going to extend the winter festival for an hour or so so people can get their last gifts , turn in the last batch of fish etc.

    Must be getting close to another update. Poor dwightmc, I really feel for him.
    Server guys probably tell him... "yeah, remember that last estimate..."
    First thoughts must be... "Ah, &*%$, here we go again".
    My hats off to you pal, wouldn't want your job!" :)

    Hey everyone,

    We'll be performing scheduled maintenance tomorrow 1/8 at 7 AM PST. Estimated downtime is 2 hours but could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

    No patch notes this week. We will however be removing the Winter Event, adding new Weekly Sale items and also including a Last Chance vendor for the Winter Event (if you have any left over event currency).

    We'll keep you updated here once maintenance begins.

    Thanks
    Dwight

    Update 1 7:05 AM PST - Maintenance has begun.
    Update 2 8:00 AM PST - Maintenance is progressing as planned. We'll keep you updated if anything changes.
    Update 3 8:35 AM PST - Looks like we hit a bit of a snag, at this point it doesn't seem like it is going to delay us by much at all, but we'll keep you posted.
    Update 4: Unfortunately due to issues found during maintenance we will need to extend maintenance until at least 10 AM. If anything changes we'll let you know.
    Update 5: 9:37 AM PST - Still no updates on resolving the issue. Could be another hour or so. As soon as we hear anything we'll let you know.

    Thanks a lot for keeping us updated man :)

    Can we still get today's starlight parcel? In my country, a new day in Neverwinter starts at 11 a.m. and the maintenance started at 4 p.m. ... I was at work at that time :/
    Smile! It confuses people :)

    Pretty sure you will not get that last parcel unless it comes back up in the next 7 mins. It's just how it is.

    But on a brighter note I would expect us still to be able to exchange gifts and cash in lights.

    THe maintenance stated they are removing the festival, therefore no, once the server went down the festival is gone and so are the freebies.

    Unless they have a dramatic change of heart and philosophy. The Zen parcels might be there though LOL

    I hate paying taxes! Why must I pay thousands of dollars in taxes when everything I buy is taxed anyways!

    This is probably a server issue, as it seems to be taking even longer for the STO maintenance.

    And btw, I didn't manage to get all parcels as well. But stop complaining like it was yours to begin with! It was offered for free for crying out loud! Be thankful it is there at all and for so long, so many times per year! See what other games had for Christmas(e.g. 20% discount on PAYED items, or 10 percent on credits bought!)

    I greatly dislike it when people are unapreciative like that.

    Now another hour tacked on to "maintenance". We all know they do maintenance on Thursdays from 7-9am pst (unless an "issue" pops up and extends it) so honestly they should make sure events don't have the same end date. That would take care of everything imo.

    That's what happened last year, and it was a hilarious lag-fest as the entire instance gets teleported to the same location, and everyone starts jumping around.

    Yes, they'll be above Aralynn in PE. You'll see a quick load screen of the winter event and it'll switch almost immediately to PE, where you'll finish loading in.

    Sounds like serious server issues, STO is now in maintenance until 12 PST also. :(

    so when the timer for the winter event hits 3 hours to go it's over. Is it not possible that these timers can end when the maintenence starts, Im sure this isnt the first time this has been brought up.

    It is totally bad that they continually do this to us. I sleep sometimes at night in RL, you know, I don't LIVE in NeverWinter 24/7 and count on that hour in the morning before the event ends to finish up my event stuff, so when maintenance is extended, I totally lose out on my Winter Event participation.

    So long to the fun, I don't get to do my one last Slalom race. *sad*

    I am usually an unappreciative person but I have to agree with you on that point. They were MORE than generous with the gifts. I would have been happy with just 5 days of parcels but we got 4 times that amount. This event was enough to keep me appreciative for at least 4 or maybe 5 months.

    I am curious about Malaborg epic dungeon lag or rubberbanding problems. What causes that? I am playing this game more than 8 months and this MC still laggy as hell. If i must say, i set my graphic settings to min and also turn off other options but still very bad. This occurs in only MC not in other dungeons. Thats not only me i know this, my guild members said they have huge lag in MC.

    It has to do with shadows and particles.

    I wanted to login and get my last round of free gifts before the event ended and make another hero's feast, but maintenance window interferes with the end of the event? :/

    /disappointed.

    MC is easily fixed - in Display u chose DirectX 9 and poof - all good :) It's a video issue not a real lag.
