Maybe a super happy awesome caster tree release along with??

[rabidfox]

The market work going to fix things for the people still having issues buying Saltmarsh?

[Qlumsee]

It's merely a shutdown. Heaven forbid they might actually do something.

Some update to Market? New stuff added? Expansion pack bundles maybe?

So is the game server and the ddo market down for 5 hours ? Or is the sever just having a reboot and will be up sooner ?

Right? An entire mini-expansion and three followup patches focusing on bugfixing and quality-of-life in the space of two weeks flat, a week without one makes it feel like nothing's getting done around here. ;)

Fortunately, we've been using that week to work on another bugfixing/quality-of-life patch, we'll have more details as it gets closer to release!

Actually, it's a pretty impressive change. I've been salty about some things in the past but it's great to see so many fixes being implemented, and responsiveness on the forums from the Devs for those bugs being discussed.

Yeah, the stickied thread at the top of the forum says "usually less than an hour" and other posts, when it's going to be longer, say that it will be longer. *shrug*

[qwert-y]

There is a lot of salt in this thread... If my user base came at me like that when I was doing my job......

Anyway, thanks for the maintenance, I scheduled all my zoom calls around your maintenance windows. It's easier to maintain the guise of staying busy if I don't accidentally screen share DDO to one of my clients

Will there be a new raid out this year either a Legendary version of older raid or new one?

Or will there be a stand-alone free quest that often introduced at that time?

Will we be seeing a second preview of Destiny changes including those that were not previewed during the first preview?

Or will the rest of the year be mostly focus on bug-fixing/quality-of-life?

I would have advised against the snark. You know how butt-hurt some of the forum posters can get.

Bug-fixing and QoL patches are always nice. Keep those coming, please.

I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the code quality of this release.

A release plus 3 minor patches would certainly put U50 as one of the better releases for code quality in the past couple of years.

I go outside Wednesday mornings. Usually. Well, sometimes. Ok, I think about it...

He'd go more often but whenever he writes up a report for an edit in reality typos there's nowhere to submit it. And Forum is more trollish than this one.

If you can't do something right, don't do it at all.

[ahpook]

Really?

What is wrong with you people?

How much time you got?
....

Ah forget it, forum rules don't allow me to go into details.... But still, i can't resist....


If you can't do something right, don't do it at all.
By that token, you will quit posting to the forums?

I for one appreciate the work that the devs to to give us this game and don't think that they "can't do something right"

BTW, since no one mentioned it, servers are up!

[cdbd3rd]

Wow just wow the arrogance ...........

It's not arrogance, it's sarcasm. ...and that's okay.

And as for "fixing lag" - there's an application on their site. Have at it. ;)

edit: After reading more 'slinging thru the thread, I'll point out the applications to all y'all. Any y'all think you can do better with 15-year-old code, have the * at it. There are a lot of things that need improvement *ahem* Customer Service area */ahem* but having to eat carpfish along the way ain't gonna fix nothing.

Heh you talk about arrogance then you just demand they fix lag like its 3 lines of code or something...

"The lag" isnt one thing, its a comprehensive suite of interacting sources found throughout the entire DDO system. Its not something you "just fix".
