Cryptic Studios has released Neverwinter update 12.12 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One today. The update adds content changes, gameplay balancing, and bug fixes. Take a look below at the full Neverwinter April 13 patch notes today.

Neverwinter Update 12.12 Patch Notes | Neverwinter April 13 Patch Notes:

Content and Environment

General

• Some floating windows on buildings in Menzoberranzan have been adhered properly to the structure.

Cliffs of the Starless Sky

• A bug that prevented Jarlaxle from returning to players if they resurrect during combat has been fixed.
• Players now spawn at the correct campfire during the encounter with Narvrak Stormhoof.
• An issue that prevented an Arcane Skill Node from being interacted with has been fixed.

Gzemnid’s Reliquary

• A small delay has been added to the Artifacts spawning during the final phases of Gzmenid along with a better indicator of when they appear.
• Gzemnid no longer drops an unbound weapon that does not prompt for Need/Greed/Pass when defeated in Gzemnid’s Reliquary (Master).
• Some visual “noise” caused by Gzemnid’s Disintegrating Ray and Withering Ray has been reduced.
• The Atropal’s Push/Pull effect is now properly synced with its animation effect.
• Storvald will no longer sometimes forget to use Duumvirate.

Menzoberranzan

• The Driders that appear in the Heroic Encounter, ‘Incursion’ can no longer be pushed out of the gameplay area.
• Drow NPCs healing in the Incursion Heroic Encounter has been fixed.
• Ceremorphosis Heroic Encounter warping players has been fixed and the magic dome around the Neothelid will now appear each time it begins.

• The Drider House Captains in Menzoberranzan have received a balance pass including:
  • Damage and duration reduction for Hazardous Webbing.
  • Minor damage reduction for Magical Barrage.
  • Minor damage reduction overall.
  • Minor health reduction.
  • Bug fix where line of sight would prevent Magical Barrage from hitting.
  • AI adjustments to power selection.
  • Dev Note: While we were happy to see that these powerful enemies were a real threat requiring large groups and some coordination, we want to make sure everyone feels they can participate in the fight. We hope these changes keep the House Captains dangerous, but give more opportunity for counterplay to the mechanics. We will continue to monitor the balance and look forward to feedback on how the captains feel after these changes. Thank you all for playing!

Future Events

• Protector’s Jubilee
  • Daily Missions from the Anniversary now grant 5 Protector’s Bounties.

Combat and Powers

General

• The Bregan D’aerthe Expert’s Coif now grants the correct amount of Performance to Bard Minstrels.

Companions

A number of additional companions have been revised with bug fixes and balance updates. These companions should perform more consistently with the companions updated on Menzoberranzan’s initial release.

Healer companions noted below have had (all) their healing powers substantially improved. We will continue to iterate on healer balance, but these updates should shift these companions in a much a better direction.

• Adbar Shield Maiden and Man at Arms
  • Rebalanced as a Single-Target companions.
• Angel of Protection
  • Protective Ward reworked as a +3% Defense, non-stacking, buff to nearby allies.
  • Angel of Protection rebalanced as a Healer companion.

  • Protecting Strike healing now correctly heals summoner.
  • Rebalanced as a Hybrid-Heal Companion.
• Blaspheme Assassin
  • Fixed a bug that was causing the Blaspheme Assassin companion to deal additional damage when multiple of these pets were attacking the same target. Each assassin will now only deal bleed damage based on its own stacks.
• Cold Iron Warrior Companion Update
  • Uses Spinning Steel earlier in combat.
  • Spinning Steel has a slightly larger radius.
  • Rebalanced as a Hybrid Companion.
• Crystalline Golem
  • Dazing Fist no longer repels bosses and other CC immune targets.
  • Rebalanced as a Hybrid companion.
• Dancing Shield
  • Dancing Shield passive now guarantees a stun proc every 8s (rather than being very rare and random)
  • Rebalanced as a Single-Target companion.
• Displacer Beast
  • Tentacle Sweep arc increased to hit more targets.
  • Rebalanced as a Hybrid companion.
• Dog, Skeletal Dog, and Damarian Shepherd
  • Takedown power fixed to knockdown appropriate non-CC immune targets.

• Phoera / Mystic Phoera
  • The Phoeras had bugs that were making their Single Target power (Fiery Talon) stronger than expected, while its Passive (Phoenix Heat) was much weaker than expected. We’ve fixed those bugs, and as a result, the Phoeras will deal less damage to a single target, but more damage to multiple targets.
  • Phoenix Heat now deals a meaningful amount of damage, is only applied once every 3 seconds, and only applies in combat. In general, skills that deal damage should only activate when the companion is in combat.
