UPDATE: Daily Dice has returned.

We have temporarily made Daily Dice unavailable in order to correct a bug discovered after today's deployment of Update 48 Patch 2. We expect Daily Dice to return in the very near future.

Are you going to extend the Season Pass since the daily dice are the only significant benefit that the Season Pass get for the 50% extra charge they paid. I feel bad for them already. If they aren't even getting the daily dice extra, then I'm going to feel extra bad for them.

...and I'm going to be extra reluctant to buy things from SSG based on future promises myself.

Simple curiosity, but what was the bug exactly?

Wrong rolls, infinite rolls, endless rolling sound, rolls not costing shards...?

Judging by their replies in another thread, something to do with some of us still have Season Pass rolls active and some don't.

I'd like to think that they'd extend the free daily dice rolls for season pass holders beyond the current Dec 31 ending date for 5 additional days (to make up for the multi-day outage caused by that bungled data center migration back in spring '19), plus additional days for however many days this lasts.

just keep it permanent for the life of the account and not have to worry about it further. no additional time from devs on it, it just is whatever. no more meetings or expense at all involved with it. - Make an option for anyone to buy its ability for permanent daily dice from the marketplace and be done.

This. I bought the pass. Was pretty happy with it until I saw very little content that qualified for "us to keep," and far less happy when all the content was given to everyone for free. Great way to reward customers.

They can throw in all the old race and class and stuff, then it would be worth it.

Sadly due to pretty much everything that was good about "Season Pass" now sucking like the vacuum of space.

I think I'll be quitting DDO ...

So long and thanks for all the fish tacos ...

I do not have a season pass, but I don't quite understand. I have ground out DDO points (and in some cases paid) for years to get all the quest content that was given for free in the spring. I don't feel upset about others getting this for free even though they might have just joined. Your season pass did not just give you quest content, it gave you permanent access to tiefling (1595 DDOP), iconic tiefling (1395 DDOP), and shifter and razorclaw shifter (?? DDOP) as well as alchemist (1495 DDOP). You got a free heroic Otto's box (4995 DDOP). Now, if you add up all the DDOP just for these features (assuming the same cost for shifter as tiefling), you get 12,470 DDOP worth of free content that no one else got in the spring and which you now own permanently. 11,000 DDOP costs $99.00 and the extra 1,470 would cost $19.99 if you buy it in one shot. You had VIP for two years (value $198). So without anything else, you paid $299 for about $317 worth of content (excluding base tiefling and base shifter, since you get these free if you do spend extra on the base Expansions, it is about $292.00 worth of content). Plus, you got a cosmetic and the potential for more than 700 daily gold dice rolls (even with your few days of loss), which gave you 700+ chances to get 3 Ddoor scrolls, sentience toolkits, Greater Cakes, 5 Elixirs of Major Mnemonic Enhancement, skill tomes up to +5, ability tomes up to +8 and much more. Even without the quest content that you are complaining about, I think you got more than what the rest of us could get with the same cash investment.

Expansions is a word that does not mean the same thing as "adventure packs" nor the same thing as "content accessible as VIP".
Nor are we able to examine what is signed to our accounts.

Never once in this two year seasonpass period did I receive a notification saying:
"Congratulations, we have just released update XX and for you as a season pass holder this means you now have permanent access to The Latest Hot Pancake With Syrup And Cherries On Top."

Instead I got:
"Thx for paying, we are now able to make everything free for everyone. Here's a silver armor to show off that you did."

Well, not really but you get the drift of how some of the season pass holders might feel.

I didn't realize I'd spent 6 astral shards because the "Free Daily Dice" icon popped up multiple times. Deliberate?

It finally went away after about 30 minutes.

Might be something completely different in your case. But I have previously observed that if your computer clock is not set correctly, the icon acts funny.

Thanks; that's a distinct possibility since I'm dual-booting & Windoze always hates you.
