Scheduled Server Downtime: 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) Thursday, August 29

You know the one where you hit turn undead and the wizards around you go where did that come from?

[Systern]

I agree, and it seems that with this xpack they decided to up the HP because people are running with high end EDs. The result is that my first lifer with a epic souleater had to spend over 5 minutes killing the fire reaver in EN second spinner quest and about the same nailing the red named hezrau. It had 58k HP.

EN - that's just crazy. Had it not been for beguile I wouldn't never been able to finish both of those encounters.

Take a look at their CRs. It doesn't matter what difficulty you're running, you're fighting the EE mobs.
That's the problem in the Web of Chaos chain.

I dare guess the same reason why you would not like to be called into work at 2am to 6am.

If it's only that pack I assume I'm out of the woods moving onto Eveningstar - phew.

Although if you do some stormhorn quest you run into some bosses (giant comes to mind) with a god awful amount of HP. And knockback. Combine both and it makes for the dullest fight ever.

We always have people complaining about downtime server and scheduled maintenance etc..

But same people are criticizing every aspect of this game

Once and for all why do they make patch ?

I am going to say that I am fine with this patch if it corrects a number of problems in DDo especially the
Quest saga givers

ciao

[Ytteri]

The Saga system will return in a future update, but the fix to it didn't make it into this patch.

What's the problem with sagas anyway? It's a little frustrating because when they were taken down I was 2 quests away from getting my first reward from them.

Did not read Cordovan's post until after making my observations. So deleting what was here.

Someone said ingame the exp awards were not functioning properly.. i believe it was like the exp tokens you get from daily dice but could not use, almost like when you get a disconnect and earn guild renown.. you get an un-usable renown token.

My game server is updating... preparing to log in

Thank You @ turbine for being quick and finishing an hour ahead of posted schedule.

if that was it you'd think it'd be an easy fix, make them actually give the token that can be clicked like the daily dice, but make it BTC (since a BTA would be rather powerful for the amount the saga's give). Quite frankly that would be a welcome change since it would stop people using it in destinies that are capped but have forgotten to switch to (their own fault, I know, but it is rather a let down when it happens)

And the big disappointment following soon(tm) - the servers are still down.

[rjbutchko]

b/c the servers are still down. and they shifted from 2pm to 2.30 pm already. Let´s see how long it will take Turbine today to get DDO back online.

[PsychoBlonde]

It's part of my job description to be called into work at indecent hours. I get paid for that.

In IT and Telecom it's usually a standard feature of operational jobs ( though it doesn't seems to be the case at Turbine ) , as maintenance is done at the low time in the network...
Which is usually at an indecent hour for the common people...

I stopped counting my all nighters at work long ago.
( and yes that includes being called at 2AM on January 1st and spending the whole day in a data center trying to fix a broken system )

2AM to 6AM GMT (for Europeans) would be prime gaming hours in the eastern US. (9pm to 1am) and even MORE prime hours (6pm to 10pm) in the WESTERN U.S. So, no, I don't expect them to do something like that. Or did you mean 2AM to 6AM eastern time? That'd be 7AM to 11AM (or later) in Europe, and I hear plenty of people *****ing that they like to play during the daytime so this would be a huge inconvenience for them.

The patches have to get done. Quit your whining about WHEN they get done. SOMEBODY will always be inconvenienced. If it bugs you so much that it's "always" you, either find a game that patches on a different schedule or change your hours. A break from the game isn't going to kill you.

[smeggy1384]

Probably having the issue since the game is not back up yet, i believe it is another hour. If in doubt use the posted time and time listed at bottom of forums to figure out when they come back up.

[mmitch5]

It is back again
