Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment have published another patch to one of their flagship MMOs, Neverwinter. The game has gone through a mountain of different changes and seasonal events over the years. And the realms based upon the variety of Dungeons & Dragons have shifted and change so many times that it’s hard to keep track. These realms are currently getting spooky for Halloween 2019, and the game just got a new patch. Let’s dig into the gory details.
The Halloween patch is mostly focusing on bug fixing, but it does offer some minor changes to some gameplay elements. The Elven Battle Enchantment (Armor) now properly diminishes CC duration in PvP combat beyond the natural PvP CC reduction. The Role Reversal boon in PvP has also been reworked to undo previous changes, so now it properly applies its old effect. One final change to Professions should make the process of creation smoother, as repeating profession tasks no longer have a chance to unassign the artisan.
Quest bugs and clipping problems in some zones have been addressed with this patch. Some issues with broken currency conversion and purchased mounts not working properly have also been fixed on the economic side of things.
Check out the full patch notes for the new update down below:
