Any info when preview will be back up?

Title of the thread says it all. With as many changes as they are making to Neverwinter those of us who play the game would like to take a look at what's coming down the pipe. And we cannot....


Now I know things happen, especially when it comes to adding on to a game through mods etc, but unless there's a avenue out there that I'm not seeing. We have no idea if things are even being looked at right now.

So, what's going on? Any updates?

    As said by Akromatik;

    NeverwinterPreview Investigation 1/23 (Preview Server Offline)
    Pending the investigation of a critical issue on NeverwinterPreview, we need to take down the shard. We will update you as the situation progresses and once we have an ETA as to when normal service will resume.

    We thank you for your patience and understanding.


    They said they'd keep us updated, I imagine they will. I too have been salivating in anticipation of testing all the new toys and aspects in progress on preview but it is what it is... It's only Monday morning. Mostly I'm more curious as to what qualifies as "a critical issue" on a shard with an irrelevant economy lol...server issue? or something that was accidentally so overpowered it would have broke the forums with flames and whining ?

    Or they revealed things that they did not want to be seen yet. I did notice a new artifact but didn't pay too much attention since I expected to have more time to look around. :) Can't imagine that would be game breaking, but who knows?

    I asked Akromatik in game, he said at some point today or tomorrow, they are still working on it as of an hour ago.

    The problem isn't likely tied to the M6 changes. They never ever have taken down the shard because of bugs or stuff that was revealed prematurely (although that actually hasn't happened yet iirc).

    So I guess it's something else.

    And still no word on the test shard. No official status update posted in the forums by a dev at all. As a matter of fact, the only post on the forums at all by a dev today has been a post patting other people on the back about class feedback. And immediately the forum mods jumped into that forum and posted something about respect for the job the feedback people are doing when nobody had even posted a flame in there yet. Are these guys living in a bubble?

    New passives? Hadn't seen those yet, just the new Arti.

    There were some passives saying like"+25% deflect" it seems to depend on the type of companion. though it never said if the passive applied to you or it.

    When it's done™

    But really, if something happened that required them turning it off so suddenly it was probably something serious, and not just some bug in the new content.

    Ah, forgot about this thread.

    *the old mage wrinkles his nose*

    Please don't make threads on this. We know it's not ideal to have Preview down this long, but we will update the Sticky on this when we have more information or when it is up.

    Safe travels,
