So yesterday (15th Jan) in the evening UK time I did two back to back successful completions of master DTS , no lag, no issues, still challenging but at least the responsiveness and performance had returned along with the fun of running master content. As I have not changed anything with my setup I can only assume somebody…

1. Yes I know traffic volume varies. Cryptic has been operating the game servers for some 13 years now I hope they would be collecting data on load overtime, monthly variations and trends. The information that data provides should be incorporated into some kind of capacity management plan so you do not see sudden peaks and…
-
You may be right about the Atlantic but a couple of thoughts: 1. I have been playing Neverwinter since 2013 and its fair to say I have not seen such consistently bad in game latency as over the past month or so. There have been long periods when the latency has been acceptable and playable so what's changed? the Atlantic…

I can't find any information online regarding the IP address for any European based game servers are you sure they were implemented? The Cryptic support page requests you ping the patch server in Los Gatos, California to test server ping responses which is unfortunately a long way from Europe but fortunately not in the…

Even though the contributions here have been low on other Neverwinter forums there is some evidence this latency problem is widespread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/1hytdfi/omfg_lag_neverwinter_character_who_backs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button I…

Hi motorsoul35#4384, please take a look and, if you feel so inclined reply to a post in the "Player feedback" from Bolt which I hope will become a central place for all concerns relating to lag and player experience in Neverwinter online
-
Thanks for the replies lets hope a few more people from the community contribute. The thing about Winterfest (or any other popular annual event) being the cause low performance because of the number of people participating and setting off lanterns etc. is tbh a bit laughable. Winterfest has been going for a number of years…

Transfer between instances is bugged. Sometimes you get an instance full message for an instance you have selected, so you wait a few seconds then try transfer again after a few tries "Transfer" option is active but when you select that option you are not taken to the selected instance but to some random instance that is…
-
I think everyone understood exactly what I was talking about but thx for clarifying. I also think you miss a key point, I presume one of the goals of a campaign is to get as many players of ALL classes wanting to complete it but if you have key rewards that only benefit certain classes and not others (because of the stats…
-
Still some weird choices on item binding the Netherese items are heavily class biased, STR, CON & DEX not top of the useful stats for my wizard for example but because the pack opened automatically for me and the items inside are BOP I can't transfer them to one of my other chars, like my rogue, where they would have been…
-
Thanks bojangis, I now see the issue the devs were trying to address but is it the best approach? The fix in place results in unnecessary use of player limited inventory bag space. Since the current code apparently records lifetime remaining on wards why not simply keep the stacking criteria as it was based on unique item…
-
Yeah but I have still not heard any argument that says this approach to defining uniqueness is a good and necessary approach to avoid some sort of exploitive or unfair behaviour but I have clearly stated the downside of applying lifetime left as part of a definition of uniqueness on player inventory space, namely as an…
-
I can see the argument but why do it? Once a ward is partially used it should become bound to character or bound to account so it can't be sold on AH as a product with full lifetime left where some poor sap buys it and finds its only got 30 seconds on the clock. I can see no advantage or concern this approach of linking…
-
The ones I show in my inventory still refuse to stack
-
Just some supporting comments: a) Like the look and feel of aDWP and mDWP especially the path up to the final boss nice work from designers I thought b) mDWP definitely doable with the right group, trouble is finding the right group. c) @"admiralwarlord#3792" mentioned the gear drop rates these are extremely low in both…
-
Well I agree just thought it might be useful to see if a reported issue had been listed over a long time but I guess you could get from a keyword search
-
Yes I can confirm this is happening I now have about 18 medallions in my overflow bag and no way of moving them having filled up my main inventory because of this new item stacking issue which was not there pre-latest patch. Would suggest it makes sense for medallions to stack up to 500 in one stack
-
Similar to that reported by others I recently (03Jan22) made copies of Bolt my main character on Dragon International server to Mimic Preview server using: https://www.arcgames.com/en/my/character/copy/nw I tried several times each time the copy completes successfully but when I come to load the character on preview it…
-
Yes I too was fooled by this quest. The text of the quest points you to the ruins so off you trot only to find the quest will not complete but if it said “take the platform portal provided to the ruins” in the quest text that wouldn’t happen … sounds like an easy fix
-
Well whilst Cryptic is looking into this current outage, over the past 2-weeks Neverwinter on PC has been very slow to load despite having a good connection and fast launch set maybe that was a precursor to the current loss of service?
-
Could be a covert patch :)
-
Nope, I have the same problem in the UK. I tried logging into Neverwinter multiple times between 08:00 and 08:15 UTC on 08/02/21 from the UK and got a system timeout when the system was trying to retrieve my characters. I have tried using the US and UK proxies to no avail and I have checked my broadband speed and ping and…
-
Well yeah I didn't mention the "bug" whereby if you dps her down too fast she throws her toys out of the pram and defeats you all :) because at least that bug has a reliable workaround which is only to use at will powers to ensure lower dps. The curse bugs on the other hand have no reliable workaround
-
Personally I like the suggestion to introduce a "training mode" in either the LIVE or Preview environments for all new dungeons once they have been officially launched. In training mode the damage tactics and timings would be exactly the same as for the full dungeon but the player gear levels, required stats, incoming…
-
Not sure rest is working garbage in particular on last boss when in heroic mode for weekly favour tasks: 1. If you dps Nostura down too quickly she bugs out and kills everyone that shouldn't happen 2. If you get cursed by Nostura you should be able to look into her gaze to remove it that does not work if more than one…

Hunt Gear Updating in Citadel Forge: I went to update my greaves in the forge I removed the slotted enchant then proceeded to try to purchase the updated blessed boots. I got a warning saying all slotted enchants must be removed before updating item. I have removed all slotted enchants but there is a +880 power…
-
So anyone have an inkling of when normal service is likely to resume. Its 18:46 GMT in UK and after Thursday patches server is usually up by 17:00
-
I presume the issue with long waits for queue pops in pvp is a reflection of the fact that not enough people are queued to form complete teams to engage in matches, assuming of course that the queue system is not simply broken as has happenned in the past. So the real issue is how to get more people interested in trying…

Antiquities Boss Djugg is either not spawning or it has been set on a respawn schedule that is like 10xs longer than the other ones

Server appeared to be available at 19:36 UTC. I managed to logon for 30s then got booted now I get a message "Server Not Available at this Time" Update please Cryptic on when it might be?
