Actually, we can kinda treat those two as having gotten an upgraded Epic diff...talk about a challenge...

[Kinerd]

Well on THIS I wont complain Finally over with people jumping beside the wall or some column with 10% hp... End with giving your spell points away and doing nothing because some guy thought its cool to ran away from you

I was going to say the same thing, focus on the positive guys!

[brian14]

Listen, people...the expansion is coming out and this problem is just not severe enough to pull people off that project for now. We're on a deadline!!! Don't you people GET that?!?!?!

In the mean time...what quest(s) are populated with mostly melees...and does that quest come in the Epic flavor?

Claw of Vulkoor. If you are not doing it stealth-style.

Wonder if this would get fixed any faster if any of the gaming press Turbine is so fond of gets wind of it..


hrm.

Oh please, like they have NEVER heard of a bad, bug ridden release before.

I'm not Turbine apologist, but formost I want to know who to blame. I hate collateral damage and if isn't a DDO dev to blame, but a code management person who is at fault, that is who I'm going to gun for.

[Malky]

So when do you guys think they will shut the servers down to fix their sloppy work?

I mean how hard is it to test this ****!?

I used to work in a Quality department for a software company in the New England area, we had a Code and a CG section and each section had a series of automated test programs that basically put the program through every conceivable situation. The results were compared with the stored correct results and if it were different an error showed up on the daily reports then you could back track who's update caused the problem by regressing the build version. Granted a full set of tests took about a week but certain high risk tests were run daily. Also anytime a bug made it through internal testing (indicating we did not have a test for that situation) a new routine was created to test for said bug and added to the routine. Test were also run on several platforms and configurations of course.

Turbine seems to have a policy of "hey you guys go boot up the latest version, run around a bit and see if it looks ok".

Just fell through a wall in Garrison's. Ran around in the dark until getting zoned back to bind point.

We're looking into this issue atm so thank you to everyone who has provided details in their bug reports! This is going to be a complex fix because it is related to the physics engine upgrade, so as soon as we have more information we'll post the downtime messaging.

I should also note while parsing through discussion in here that: personal attacks against staff or other players will not be tolerated. Bugs are annoying, but they do not grant license to break the forum rules. Please keep this in mind as you discuss.

I'm really curious because I didn't encounter this issue on Lam. What changed between there and live?

If it's going to take an untold measure of time to fix this issue - perhaps it'd be prudent to do a rollback, take out the update, and fix it before reimplementing the changes.

$5.00 says they decided to tweek "something" in the Live patch without testing it on Lamannia first.

Undetermined amount of time for a fix + game breaking bugs = time to do a roll back + work on fixing what went wrong

Basically unforseen tickling of the engine by a fix to a Lamannia door issue. It's unfortunately not the kind of thing you can just "undo" unless you'd like to well... not be able to use doors oO;
