Get double Astral Diamonds this weekend in Neverwinter to celebrate Open Beta's ongoing success!

Neverwinter has been an ongoing success since we entered Open Beta on April 30, 2013. Fans and critics can't get enough of the action combat and battling against iconic creatures from Dungeons & Dragons. Furthermore, fans are creating many new quests and campaigns with the Foundry, a user-generated content toolset. We've seen some incredible Foundry missions created by very creative authors and we can't wait to see what players come up with next!

As we continue in Open Beta, we'll continue to provide support, updates, patches, hotfixes, and everything possible to ensure that hungry adventurers like you will have a great time in game! This journey is just beginning for many of you as you form new friendships and unforgettable memories within Neverwinter. And, it is just the beginning for us as well as we develop Neverwinter into a game that's even more incredible than it already is – all thanks to you! It's with your feedback, suggestions, and passion that motivates and drives us to never stop working to improve Neverwinter.

And to celebrate the passion and support you've shown us, we're going to celebrate this weekend with you by rewarding you with something extra – okay, a lot of extra. Starting this Friday, May 10, at 12 P.M. PDT (Pacific) (When is that in your time zone?), we're giving you DOUBLE the Astral Diamonds earned in game with every quest and activity that awards Astral Diamonds.

Get ready for an exciting weekend of questing and dungeon delving in Neverwinter. We'll see you on Faerûn to battle against Valindra Shadowmantle! Thank you for being the best fans a team could ask for.

Sincerely,

The Neverwinter Team

April 30, 2013

Forbes: "Several fights I’ve been in already had me on the edge of my seat."

MMO Reporter: "The price is right, the game is fun, and you’ll yourself sitting down for a quick play session and suddenly wondering where the last 4 hours have gone."

Softpedia: "I strongly recommend D&D fans and RPG enthusiasts to give it a try. Neverwinter is by far one of the best MMORPGs at launch."

Xenophobic, floating orbs of doom, few monsters evoke greater terror than the dreadful beholders, avaricious despots that can fire terrible rays from their eyestalks. Beholders are the stuff of nightmares. These creatures, also known as the “spheres of many eyes” or “eye tyrants,” are deadly adversaries. Beholders have bulbous bodies with a central, unblinking eye and a large maw filled with daggerlike teeth. Smaller eyes, attached to wriggling stalks, sprout from the tops of their orblike bodies. Belonging to a very ancient race, they lurk inside the Underdark, from whence most of them originate.

Beholders are hateful, aggressive and covetous, attacking or dominating others whenever they can get away with it. They exhibit a xenophobic intolerance, hating all creatures that are unlike themselves. Their basic body type comprises a great variety of beholder subspecies. Some are covered with overlapping chitinous plates; some have smooth hides or snakelike eye tentacles; others have crustacean joints. But even a difference as small as hide color or size of the central orb can make two groups of beholders sworn enemies. Every beholder declares its own unique form to be the “true ideal of beholderhood,” with others’ being nothing but ugly replicas fit only to be eliminated.

Beholders usually carve out underground lairs for themselves using their disintegrate rays. Their dens’ architecture emphasizes the vertical, and a lair usually has a number of parallel tubes, with chambers stacked on top of each other. Beholders like to fill them with trophies of intruders foolish enough to try to steal from them or unfortunate enough to cross near their hives. Beholders prefer inaccessible locations that earthbound foes are only able to reach with difficulty. When they band together, they build giant hives linked together by kilometers of tunnels and exterminate or enslave any other race in the region.

In combat, beholders use a wide range of minions enslaved by their charm rays, striking alliances with other powerful monsters and protecting themselves behind walls of creatures who are – in the beholders’ many eyes – dispensable. They prefer to fight from behind a group of submissive soldiers or brutes, firing their deadly rays at enemies from a safe distance. They can switch between various types of attacks, dealing different effects such as stun, turning flesh to stone, or utter disintegration. Their many eyes give them 360° vision, allowing them to control the space around them and to never be taken by surprise. If all other tactics fail, they can still count on their great mobility and their innate ability to rapidly float away from dangerous enemies.

These fearsome creatures have been seen by adventurers in the Whispering Caverns, the ruins of Castle Never itself, and in long-lost Gauntlgrym.  The beholders are usually spotted with many subordinate creatures bound to them by use of their charm rays. Will the heroes of Neverwinter be strong enough to stand against these many-eyed scourges?

This is the first of our two part video blog, one from from PAX and the other from GDC. This was lovingly crafted by Bikeman (http://www.youtube.com/BikestMan), who was our camera man for the week.

We have also released some screenshots from our latest “building” - http://goo.gl/sAQoa

Another change that is happening which has pretty much been implemented already by the current VAs which has worked well for us, and will now be made official.   This change is that each VA will have a "section" of the community that they will be in charge of.   While in charge of this section they are expected to be active within the promotion, communication, admins, etc. . making sure that section of the community is as successful as possible.   As well as taking care of any issues that arise, appoint admins/advisers within that section of the community. 

These people that are being promoted are also ones that we feel can bring something to the community besides just working in their particular section.   They have completed requests in a timely manner, are always looking to do more for the community, and being mature in how they handle their selves within the community and as a face of the community.    This is exactly what we look for in Veteran Admins, and that's why the individuals below are being promoted. 

With all of that being said these are the individuals being promoted and the respect section they will be heading up.

FreKillz - Battlefield

Hoole - Streaming

Pepsi - Graphic Design

Please give a big congrats to these individuals.   And remember, if you are not listed please don't be discouraged as I'm still looking to promote more individuals not only for different sections of the community, but also some that these 3 individuals are a part of now.   These 3 individuals are just the ones that have been promoted first.   I'm not sure when the next promotions will occur so please do not ask or bug myself or any other admin.    Thanks!  

So as you can see above we've finally got our Team Speak theme released!   

You can download it and view more screenshots at the link below:

http://www.adkgamers.com/files/file/22-adk-battlefield-team-speak-theme/

Please let us know if you find any issues so we can update it!

Enjoy and feel free to spread it around to everybody you know.  Lets get the theme out there.    We will also be posting it on the Team Speak website soon, but wanted to release it to the =ADK= Community first!

You can view the article HERE but don't forget to check out the War Thunder section on =ADK= for more videos from eNtaK if you're interested in War Thunder.  

Be looking for more videos from eNtaK in the future, not only about War Thunder but many other games as well.

And finally we want to say great job to eNtaK for being promoted on War Thunders website and to keep up the great work!

We hope you enjoy the new look, we are looking to push the BF4 Theme a little more than we would normally do just because we are pushing to the release of BF4 to make it the best release possible.   

If there are any issues that you are finding feel free to let us know.   There are still issues that we are working on, but Work and Sleep are needed.   So the work will continue ASAP, but if you do see some issues that don't get fixed after a day or two, feel free to bring them to our attention.  

Some of the main things right now are issues with our Chat Room and the members online list.  Both of which will be taken care of soon.   

So let us know your thoughts and opinions about the new look and thanks for your support!

First, it's not just the =ADK= Servers that are being attacked rather the host of machines in our Chicago network that are being attacked.  Sure we could have a say in it as we do have successful servers.   And it's been shown that these types of things do happen to people who have something good going on.     And th guys at 3DB would know that the attacks are hitting everyone if they actually had people in their servers but it appears they care more about what is going on with other servers than they do populating their own.     Don't forget how they like to trash our server rankings yet even through these past few days we've still managed to stay at considerably higher than any of their servers.

And clearly the individuals over at 3DB have no idea how companies are run and the fact that there are times where meetings need to be moved forward with a sense of urgency, and getting the point across with very little discussion.   But again, don't let the fact that ADK has been running for 5 years now have any impact on how things should be done.       HellKnight is taking things that a young teen said and is just re-stating it in his own words.   Every meeting I give people the opportunity to bring up any issues.   HellKnight won't tell you that he always had to have the last word in every meeting and 99% of the people in the meetings didn't like that and felt like they couldn't say anything as he would just go and say something over top of that.    And when that happened I would indeed make sure the meeting moved along because the topics that HellKnight brought up or beat to a pulp didn't even need to be discussed.     We asked him to change his ways of doing things and he got offended.  I myself gave him multiple chances as others in the community wanted him gone.   But obviously giving him chances came back to bite me in the butt.   I should have just removed him from the community when others told me he was becoming a problem and that they were thinking about leaving if something wasn't done.  

These individuals at 3DB won't tell you that we did try working with them and we did indeed give them multiple opportunities to correct their actions.  Bryns himself apologized to multiple leaders for his previous actions and then 3 days later created an exact replica of ADK.     So if ADK is as bad as they say it is, then why would you want to re-create it?      And why would you want to go and recruit people from ADK if it's that bad?     I just see some people who are upset because they didn't get promotions like they wanted to because I didn't feel they were an appropriate fit for this community.     But don't take my word for it, just check out how they are doing things over there. 

Spend money on affiliates?   What affiliates have I spent money on?   If you're talking about server hosting then 3DB is doing the exact same thing, so what's the next excuse you have to try to trash ADK?     Also please realize that the ADK Community is still thriving better than ever.     Yes there are ways to save money and I have no doubt at that.   But when there isn't the man power to provide a good product I'm not going to "save money"  Rather I'm going to put a good product out there for everyone to use.  Again a smart business practice.   Don't forget the majority of our server costs have been for our BF3 Servers.    If HellKnight knew anything about how they work he would understand that only select individuals can host those game servers.   So you do indeed have to buy them from an "affiliate".      The DayZ server was purchased from a reliable server host because of the fact that our last server went down.  And again, 3DB should already know these things because of how awesome they are right? 

Don't forget everything on the internet must be super serious, so putting a joke up and allowing people to purchase it for use if they'd like is a bad thing clearly.    People know our stances on Nukes, people always ask "Can I nuke" and I now gave them the option to do that to all of our servers.   There's plenty of other companies out there who do silly little things like that and some people actually purchase them.   It's not as though I'm telling people that you HAVE to purchase this.   But if they want to nuke then the option is available for them.      Hmmm So I'm a "dumbfuck" for others saying that they would pay $2.50 a month for a team speak channel.   You might want to personally say that to everyone else who has purchase a team speak channel.   And while you're at it, don't forget to look to see that 3DB hasn't had over 10 people in their team speak. . . ever. . .   And that happens maybe once a week if they are lucky.    Also they are asking for donations, but for what?   They have no servers that are populated, so getting a reserved slot means what exactly?  Just a title?    You get "donor status" in team speak.   Oooo that's about as awesome as the reserved slot.   Also, I could be wrong on this, but I don't think that HellKnight ever donated a single penny to ADK, but he's now asking for your money to donate to his own community.  What's wrong with that picture?    Oh and somethign else you get to keep the 1995 website up and running too!   Check it out below

Clearly an awesome site and the lead programmer is doing AWESOME!    Don't let that look fool you, or the fact that out of the 400 members on their website only 15 are actual members, the rest are just spammers.    And then they respond to the spammers telling them that posting other links aren't allowed on the website.     Is that a joke, or do they seriously not know the difference between spammers and actual people?    Oh and I was just browsing their awesome website to see that they recently added a console section to their forums.    They are truly reaching out beyond the boundaries on this and I am shocked at the direction they are taking to reach out to others. 

Let me give you a word of advice 3DB, worry about your own community that is clearly in the dump before you try talking trash about another community.   (Successful community I might add)  

On a final note, thank you for the free promotion.   People will look at your website after searching for ADK, wonder why you have more news about ADK on your website than 3DB.   Then come and look at the ADK website to see that your set up is exactly like ours and chuckle at that.   Then they'll be joining us for a fun time.    I think your promotion is actually helping us already because we've had more registrations in the past week or so then the few weeks prior.   Thanks again!  

::UPDATE::

So Tiger is crying about being banned from the =ADK= Team Speak (after multiple weeks of being allowed in), yet when I tried to go talk with Bryns about everything as he apologized then pulled the crap that you see going on now I got banned.    As well as the others that were trying to find out what the deal was.       Just something to laugh about, but now our banning Tiger was worthy of a whole new post on their website.     Again, thanks for the free promotion.   You guys honestly aren't helping yourselves and should worry more about your own community over another one.    Trust me what you're doing now will not work out for you in the long run.   

::UPDATE:: 

After posting the previous update, they removed the post of Tiger complaining about being banned from our Team Speak.    Pretty interesting, and I wonder when they'll finally remove everything else and start worrying about their own gig. 

::UPDATE::

Clearly they are a little upset about being proven wrong, and it just goes to show how naive they are by this comment.

"I left because I wasted all my time helping out a community that was only lead by someone who cares about just making money from his community"

I MAKE ZERO DOLLARS FROM ADK.    That would come out to $00.00 if you need to see it in number form.  And actually I'm losing money from it as I have to pay taxes for the money that has come in and hasn't gone in my pocket.   

I had ZERO control over the DayZ server.

Comments like these negate anything and everything you have to say.   Seriously stop making yourself look bad and just go hide in your little part of the internet.   Put 5 BF3 servers online if you'd like, and they'll all be empty too.   If ADK was as bad as you say it is there would be nobody here right now.   Because since you've left any issues that have gone on have been brought up and taken care of.   Sure I'm getting more PMs then ever, but at least problems are being taken care of.   

Again, seriously. . . stop worrying about us and worry about yourself.   I promise you, there was a point in my life about 6 1/2 - 7 years ago where I thought doing the same thing that you're doing right now was the best thing ever.   It's not, so stop checking out the fact that we're selling nukes as a joke, and work on making what you have better than it is.    I'm trying to help you out as I've been down that road before.   And the group I was in was going nowhere when we were doing exactly what you're doing now until we decided to just forget it.   

So we're not certain your thoughts, but we're definitely excited for BF4 to come out.    Look forward for more information about multi-player and servers that we will be hosting!  

We’ve gone for a reasonably quick and dirty video blog this week, mainly because things have been very busy for us.

Inventory System

One of the biggest improvement areas has been the inventory system, now almost ready for a public display. This new inventory system supports crafting, interchangeable clothing, degradation, tracking, weapon customization, and much more. It’s really a revolutionary system for us and we’re extremely proud of the results that Jirka (our programmer assigned to this) has achieved.

Crafting

Not touched on in the video, but what we will be showing soon is the basics of how users can interact with items in the world - this is the next step in development of our inventory system beyond where it is now. This is not a traditional crafting system, but one that encourages  layers to explore the ways in which items can be crafted.

Zombie pathfinding

In the video, towards the end, some before and after footage of work on the zombie AI pathfinding. Not only has this changed the role, threat, and speed of the zombies - but it has also yielded performance improvements. The increased accuracy of the zombies movement allows their movement to be slowed down to more sensible values, in line with those of the players themselves. We still have some other avenues to explore in this regard, but we’re very pleased with the results so far.

Mass zombie spawning server side

Now all zombies are spawned directly on the server and their movement is governed directly on the server itself. This has allowed us to provide increased security and hack prevention mechanisms by disabling functionality at the client level. It also means that zombies no longer “pop” in and out of the world, previously used as a mechanism to tell if someone was in the area. It also paves the way for us to allow migrating zombies and zombies traversing open areas in search for their next meal.

We still have some way to go in performance, the initial tests of 4000 zombies spawned reduced the server FPS to 4. After performance optimizations this increased up to 21. We’re now confident we can have the server FPS back up to 30+ with maximum numbers of zombies in the near future.

Expanding health system

Health is extending far beyond just blood, into a system that incorporates health, blood, and consciousness level. How these are all interrelating will be touched on in its own devblog in future. Some of the exciting developments coming include longterm play effects such as poor diet affecting your long term health levels. All this translates into the importance of a longterm plan for survival of your character, and we’re sure the role of medical specialists will become very important - hopefully emphasizing social interaction opportunities.

Chernarus Expansion

This continues at a huge pace. The two new villages in expand Cherno and provide it a true city feeling. Also expanding is the top (north) map area and the continued development of our large-scale features being added to the map. More to follow on this! (we can’t wait to show some more of this!)

Loot spawning

Finding loot now involves scavenging inside of vehicles, looking for items stuck between furniture, prying open car boots, or strewn in the wasteland itself. Consuming your bounty now results in rubbish, such as empty cans after consuming your beans. This is no mere gimick, because your trash can be used to track you.

Conclusion

There is a great deal more that can be covered, but we’re really deeply in the thick of development at the moment and we just wanted to get something quick and dirty to all those waiting for standalone. We know that you want it released, and we know you want to know when this will be - but we’re 100% committed to making this a great game, and that means we are making sure to do things properly. We’re happy and confident about the progress, so it’s one foot after another and soon we’ll be at the finish line.

• Game Updates come on a 2-week cadence, so every second week you should expect a major game update with new features, gameplay changes, items and bug fixes. Last week we released GU03, we expect to release GU04 next week.
• Patches come in between Game Updates, they typically don't introduce new gameplay or features, but will usually contain bug fixes, balance changes, and new items. We won't always have one each week, these come as needed.
• Hotfixes can come any day, and they're based on an urgent need to change a game balance issue or bug.

In general we try to release Game Updates and Patches early on Wednesday mornings (PST), but we sometimes need to hold back the updates for more QA time when issues are found.

Coming with GU04

Here's a preview of some of the features which are currently scheduled to be released with GU04 next week and the patch in the following week:

• Flash update:
  • Wraith Module (Cloaking) for infiltrators using the Flash
  • Rumble seat - bring a passenger with you on your flash, they are weapons free in the passenger seat!
  • New weapon: Renegade shotgun
• Account level unlocks
  • Items you've purchased with StationCash will be available to all characters on your account that are eligible to use that item.
  • Common pool items, such as the Zephyr or NS-11 will be available to all characters on your account.
  • Empire specific weapons such as the GD-22 and Lasher will be available to all characters of the required faction on your account.
  • We are working on a solution for those of you who have purchased the same item on multiple characters.
• VR Training
  • A safe test zone where you can try each weapon and vehicle in the game with no resource cost or cooldown timers.
  • Target practice areas to learn weapon strengths and weaknesses at range, practice recoil patterns.
  • Driving/flying area to practice with vehicles.
  • Areas to practice team tactics, such as towers and small outposts.
  • No player stats are recorded in VR, so have fun!
• New respawn & map screen
  • We've combined the respawn and map screen into one.
  • The new map screen has been cleaned up better use space.
  • Additional top requested features, such as friendly troop locations will be coming soon, but not with GU04.
• Membership enhancements
  • We've increased the number of passive certifications for members and scaled the increase in cert points based on length of membership. The new cert point rates are as follows:

• Empire specific Rocket Launchers
  • VS - Lancer: an extremely precise, super-high-velocity, anti-vehicle energy weapon with a unique charge mechanic, the longer you charge the weapon the more damage it deals.
  • TR - Striker: launches a series of mid-damage guided missiles at a single target, the Striker's user must maintain the lock by keeping the enemy in the crosshairs while the missiles are tracking.
  • NC - Phoenix: A high damage, slow firing camera guided missile which must be guided by the Phoenix's user. The Phoenix is capable of dealing high damage with very little warning since there is no lock on.
  • These weapons will be released in the patch the week following GU04
• Notable balance changes
  • Explosive radius from ALL vehicle based damage sources have been reduced, this does not affect vehicle vs vehicle direct hit damage, only splash damage vs infantry.
  • Prowler HEAT / HE rounds have had their damage reduced to no longer 1-shot kill infantry, killing a full health infantry will require both Prowler rounds to be fired. This does not affect vs. vehicle damage.
  • Edit: Movement improvements for the Magrider, bringing back some of it's glideyness, but not it's ability to climb every hill in the game.
  • Edit: Torque increases for all MBTs so they don't slow down as much on inclines.

This is just a small preview of the main tentpole features for GU04, in addition to the above GU04 will contain a number of bug fixes and smaller balance tweaks, map changes to Indar, optimization and stability improvements.

I want to be absolutely clear that all of this is tentative, and until it's on the server it's not a guarantee! We want to keep you guys as up to date as possible with the current development, but it must come with the understanding that features slip & dates slip, and what we're giving you is our best possible projection of what and when.

Edit: Wanted to add a quick note about server merges. I've heard from a lot folks on Connery & Woodman who are upset that they didn't get a chance to have their server merged. We're going to be continuing to monitor server populations to see if it's possible to do further merges, but with the current peak player loads there wasn't a good way to merge those servers without causing login queue bottlenecks and a generally bad experience.

As always, we're excited to hear your feedback, here, twitter, facebook and everywhere else.
Thanks!

In Battlelog, you will be notified from the Game Manager. Once you acknowledge the update, it will start downloading within the Origin client.

PlayStation 3: When you start the game, you will be prompted that there is an update available. To continue, you must accept the update, which will install automatically.

 What you do get:

• 200+ vehicles.
• Regular night time.
• Regular weapons.
• Active Admins.
• Side chat on.
• Friendly community.
• The thrills of regular DayZ.

We're going to keep this going till DayZ Standalone comes out. Come join us. We got 50 slots open to any of the following: Bandits, Heroes, Camp raiders, Zed slayers, Pranksters, Survivors, Bambis, Clans, Lone Wolves. Whatever.
Everyone besides Hacker faggots are welcome.
