    Hi Everyone!

    In order to optimize the experience for our Open Beta players, we will be performing a brief maintenance that should last less than an hour (current projection is 30 to 45 minutes). We will keep you updated on progress. Our hope is that this maintenance will resolve several of the server-related issues that are experiencing. This includes:

    Issues logging into the game
    Issues with the launcher not loading/downloading
    Rubberbanding or delays within the game
    Problems with loading the friends list
    Delays within any systems in Neverwinter, including the auction house, queue system, Zen Market, Guilds, and Parties

    Thank you!

    The Neverwinter Team

    Link from the forum post, which I found on the game's twitter feed.

    Is it a good idea to bite down on the 18 hour task to recruit another crafting person as soon as you hit level 3 in Leadership?

    Playing as GF. Despite the rubberbanding and laaaaaag this game is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Feels a little bit like Dark Souls with the blocking and action combat, which is a huge plus in my book.
    Shard is down now, hopefully it will run smoother once they restart.

    How are the sword and board fighters?

    Do you like active blocking? Then you'll love the GF.

    Oh shit, there's active blocking?

    Color me excited!

    How much do people rely on them to be present for dungeons?

    They are nice, but not needed. A cleric is more useful. At least in the epic dungeons I've done (would call them tier 2).

    But that doesn't mean they are unwanted at all, people still want tank/healer just out of habit. But so far I haven't had a tank really tank the boss, they usually are busy on the adds.
    They can tank the boss if they want, but most bosses do little damage and then give a big tell for their high damaging attacks that everyone needs to avoid/block. So basically right now its all rogues destroy the boss while everyone else manages adds and hits the boss when they can.

    So rely on them... no. Want them, absolutely.

    Guardian Fighter to 8 so far (just about 9). Enjoyed the first bit, when active blocking mattered. Then grouped up with @Varega and we basically took turns lagging. I'll say, Clerics at least low level rip it up in damage. He almost always has the stuff dead by time I even charge in and start hitting.

    Hoping the lag is resolved by Thursday; GF is going out of town for the weekend and that means all game, all the time come Thursday night. =P

    Made a great weapon fighter, then a cleric. Clerics are kind of awesome!

    So now I have a control wizard and cleric, which is not what I expected to end up with

    Great, apparently they have introduced The Queue to battle The Lag.

    And if you don't know your account, one way I found was go to compose a mail and click in the To: line. The text tip will say use @my_handle to mail to yourself. Where @my_handle is your global account handle.

    And if there is someone named my_handle, I apologize for trying to get your attention. Plus you are bad at names. Worse than me...

    Why does the rogue cut some of her clothes off in the middle of the fight?

    What is this I don't even.

    I am at 381, but it has not moved at all so far.

    Rightclick your character portrait in the top right it'll give you your account name.

    Hey everyone,

    We successfully performed and concluded our maintenance on the back-end without needing to completely take down all game servers. We are already seeing the desired performance improvement!

    Of course, we will constantly monitor the game and your feedback both on our sites and in-game to ensure you

    A lot less lag now and no rubberbanding. Blocking even makes sense and works.

    This queue system doesn't seem to understand the concept

    I went from 1800, to 2345, to 21, to 3000

    so confused

    Something that annoys me, perhaps the only thing

    is that unless I am stupid, it is impossible to zoom in or out on your character while playing

    this makes it kind of annoying to play as a halfling a bit

    That would be all of the big purchase founders logging in. They are allowed to bypass the queue.

    Just did the Blackwater zombie horde event thing.

    Was middle of the pack damage wise against 2 guardian fighters. I guess they have more AOE than me? Or damage isn't that distinct at this point?

    Was still fun as hell, felt like a real group dynamic with me constantly jostling to get at the brutes combat advantage zone. I'm guessing yellow numbers are for when I have combat advantage?

    Also, for those who played Champions online or STO, the Penny Arcade global channels from those games are still active, and provide a means to communicate

    Join the channel "Penny Arcade" and the password should be "wang" (if needed)

    Yeah, mine does that, too. Either there are thousands of Founders trying to log in right now, or their queue system is jacked.

    I'm wondering if they are going to end up opening up more servers. Good thing they went with at least 3 and not try for a single server immediately.
