Don't see specific info on it but it may result in server downtime according to this post.

Update 11:15 PM Eastern - we are still investigating the server issues. Guild renown and the Black Mausoleum will remain unavailable until we have resolved the server issues. As a heads up, I want to mention this may result in a downtime to address several issues, but I do not yet have an ETA on that work (though will not be tonight). If and when there is a patch downtime, an time frame will be posted. Thanks for your patience everyone!

can they get anything right

Your comments show extreme measures of ignorance. Renown was working fine. It was simply being exploited, which resulted in it being closed down. Evidence can easily be found on this servers forum...

the DDO boy scout just told me. LOL

Well spoken, DDO has fixed many issues but players find ways to poke holes in exploits that noone could expect, it's complicated stuff making a game for so many players and make it perfect. They're doing fine by my standards. Trust me, the fact they took it down so quickly to plug a hole speaks volumes.

I dont see any exploit posts, only pic I see is of NV farming thousands of kills to build renown. Which, I believe is a valid method to gain renown, ie, turbine made the choice to make it a random drop from each mob slayed, so we slayed literally 200k mobs in just a couple hours.

I dont think thats an exploit, but WAI.

EDIT: The issue was not on our server, it was over at Khyber, their server was being abused to the point of crashing so they turned it off all together for the time being.

Renown awards needs to be reworked, static end award, like XP, for quest completions, for all quests run. If they continue to apply it as a random mob drop, we will continue to farm it in the most efficient way possible.

The issue was renown is supposed to scale with # of people in guild to help small guilds compete with larges ones. It was not scaleing.

[KRaNiX1337]

Thats exactly what I heard, and with only 18 members total, Novus Vinco missed out on a good amount of our favor rewards because of it.

Tell me about it.

Our guild only has about 10 players I think total. In my playtime tonight I picked up 2 of the +500 renown objects out of chests. But sadly don't get credit for it. *kicks dirt*

What was the supposed exploit? I'd like specifics or links to specifics if I can get them.

[KRaNiX1337]

There was no exploit, it was WAI. They just didn't intend for so many people on Khyber to do it all at once.

[KRaNiX1337]

Pulled 3, they did nothing.

Also noticed other people trying to sell them, as they are not bound, and look like a legitimate trading item, even though they aren't.

" Your guild had gained 0 renown"

Yeah, I'm a little irritated about it. I'll be watching intently for this to be enabled again. With so few playing members in our outfit, we need all the help we can get.

lol Kranix no need to get defensives Its obvious that it isn't WIA with respawns though, as that was my own first thought from Lama, and the devs had already turned it off there



Post edit; since when did I become a boy scoute? I demand the title! Get on it turbine!

Maybe I little more time planning and testing would prevent that.

[KRaNiX1337]

It was initially intended that you couldnt do that on lama, but they switched it back there too, when they updated to the non bag version. We were in ADQ2 entrance farming the entrance mobs to gain renown.
