User Interface
Credits
- The credits have been updated.
- Next time Hell Pit runs later this year, it will show an updated version of the event information window.
- The maximum Field of View in Neverwinter has been reduced.
- Note: This was intended to go out with the introduction of the FoV option. The goal of this change is to reduce the pressure on players to make the game look less readable, for the benefit of being able to see more at once. We'll keep an extra eye on feedback in case there are mechanics that become significantly more difficult with a lower maximum.
Character Art
General- Dragonborn characters now properly wear pants during character creation.
Performance and Stability

And it's still only 70, like on Preview right now? Do you realise how unpleasant ToMM (and even IC) runs can be with such low value?
I never asked for this.
@terramak please explain to us why who asked for this change and why limit us instead of just changing your default setting?
i think you have more important fish to fry than FOV .
the fov should be a choice players have, taking away choices isnt going to go well for you.
Especially for non essential limitations. I rather you limit rubberbanding, bugs, glitches, then peoples
experience.
meh.

> Do you realize that console players have never had the option of changing FoV and we are still able to complete all content
do you really want to compare the difficulty of the game on the Console x PC?
The game is much easier on the console
it will certainly make ToMM and ICT more difficult, even more for us curators!
There is no point in decreasing, as there is a bar to choose from!
How did you complete ToMM 400+ times with 50 FOV if the minimum FOV is 55? Hacks! I call hacks!
But apparently, according to the Neverwinter wiki, you actually could set your FOV as low as 30 (idk if this will still be possible after this patch). I'm so disappointed right now.

> xD You obviously have no idea what you are writing
You must be kidding, right?
Just watch videos of dungeons on both platforms!
