    Its already "on him", as that is where you go to collect the gift, after your code is accepted.
    The only thing wrong, it was unbound.

    Any news on when this gets fixed? I sadly wasn't able to redeem before it was deactivated. All I want is my bonus content.

    Probably because they realllllyyy want you to use their Arc client, and if you could just get such things through the NPC you wouldn't need the client to redeem the code :/

    I can use Arc to enter codes but it hangs when I try to close it. The newer Chromium DLL they switched to doesn't like my Win2k at all, and the majority of the Arc window that the browser DLL uses remains blank. I start NWO manually using the launcher.

    I don't even use Arc so when there is a code to redeem, there's nothing for me to get it. If you want to give something to your players, why not make it in game instead of a code that can be typed in, this way, everyone who is in, gets it, and then they can't re-enter a code and get multiples in such a simple manner. An in game mail with an attached item would seem to be the best way to give out something to your players, this way no one is left out.

    what a bummer. Wish you had released it in PST..

    Sad how many people had to ruin it for those who wouldn't exploit it.

    fully. Wholeheartedly. Agree.

    If they did that, more than half of the population would be gone, I'm to the point now of beleiving, especially now since people are using the HR and Cleric exploits openly to do content, that more than half of the individuals in this game are account hacker/AD/Gold seller/farmers.

    There is no QC in this game and that's what's so risky about it, you pay "REAL" world money in order to better your avatar sometimes sticking 1000s of dollars into it and some smuck comes along that's been hacking/AD /Gold selling/exploiting since beta is still running around causing chaos with no accountability.

    They nerfed everything but the gold sellers in Mod 6, that alone should tell you something.
    I may not be considered by most the BEST PVP Warlock on the server but, I am the most HATED amongst them.

    Some of us are already very frustrated with the game changes. Sending us what appears to be a joke email promising gifts doesn't help.

    Hi Neverwinter Community,

    Yesterday, our team distributed an email commemorating the launch of Neverwinter: Elemental Evil. Within the email was a code redeemable for an in-game item titled The Trove of Elemental Evil, which offers players a chance to win several in-game items including elemental companions. At the time, we distributed one code, which would be redeemable by all players until May 1, 2015.

    Once the code was distributed, we saw a larger amount of players redeem the code. Unfortunately, the code was easily exploitable as the in-game item did not bind to the account and were re-sold via the Auction House. In addition to re-selling the item, we saw several instances where players created additional Arc accounts to continuously redeem the code. With the entire situation in mind, our team decided to disable the codes.

    Our team is actively investigating how we can either revive or replace this campaign. Our desire was to send a fun and compelling gift to our players going into the a weekend of Neverwinter adventures. We still want to do good by this as rewarding our dedicated fans is important to us. Stay tuned for more information as we investigate both of the situation and solutions.




    I checked my email and my spamm folder, i did not recive a code to redeem :( please re-send it to pitropclaudiu@yahoo.com ( my account email )

    Resending you the email wouldn't do anything since the codes don't work anymore.

    I understand and I am glad Arc team always look to abuses, exploits and hacks.
    Although I am of those people who received that particular Email with a Redeemable code which obviously did not work.
    So what do I do??????
    Do I keep arc and faith they will quickly resend me an Email with a gift that cannot be exploited or should I jst uninstall Arc because business conduct is questionable?!?!?!

    Hilarious. How often did things like this happen on the PC?

    Caturday?

    The alchemist companion?

    That's just the most obvious two i can think of. There were more. When are you going to give a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> and learn from the mistakes? The PC economy was already ruined by some of these types of mistakes, are you going to ruin the xbox economy so quickly too? The incompetence astounds me.

    And here was me complaining you are so shamelessly money grabbing that you wont cross over account unlocks from the PC version. Sounds like you did me a favour.

    instead of just keeping the code active! you couldn't just fixed the issue like you did the the ioun stone of radiance????
    NOOOOO! you decide to disable the code,by not allowing good law biding players to activate their code being a unfair advantage (one not being able to get the stuff like everyone else). ITS YOUR CODING ENGINEERS FAULT! ITS NOT OUR FAULT THAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT EXPLOIT IT. Now, to those that may have their item is an unfair advantage to the rest of us that didn't get their gift. if you're to stupid not to test anything out before activating it in the main game, them you need to hire new engineers and testers. blame your selves and fix the problem, by working harder to fix it; instead of just disabling it, that like turning on/off a light switch. Because reprogramming the item codes is much hard... i think not.


    (TIP:)

    Fix the Regen and life-steal stats and working & be able to stack potions. Now unfair advantage to most of us other builds for TR, CW, GWF, & HR which don't have many healing powers much like the Cleric & Paladin that can heal themselves.

    FYI: its a royal pain in the rear that you have to team up to do all the dailies for every map, sometimes i just want to come home and do a few dailies after a long day, i don't want to worry about teaming up with friends or guild members just to do one bloody daily. Makes no sense, this mod is like if you want to pick your nose you need someone to to hold you hand, one to pick a finger, and one to choose a booger, and one to pick it for you. that's just not acceptable.

    P.S.

    You royally messed up this game with the new player modifications.

    FORESIGHT:
    Also, you can't balance classes that's like balancing the world religions & politics to be the same, but different at the same time, you just can't do it. so, don't base this game around it.

    The email came from "neverwinter@perfectworld.com". I think you have to have the option or setting to receive promotional emails set to 'on' in order to get these emails.

    I usually turn those off asap, but turned this one back on after last year's "loyal customer gift" random email was being circulated. I did get this email; of course, the code was already disabled by the time I got it. Honestly, wish I hadn't; then I wouldn't be so disappointed on missing out/being punished for a coding mistake.
