May 9 - Epic 3 barrel cove

This is the biggie for me!!

[Nestroy]

This is the biggie for me!!

Don´t expect too much of it anyways, please. Big expectations = big disapointments.

I would expect to see some epic inflated pirates, rats and kobolds. And the only new quest will be the Raid. And no Kracken. So with that in mind I can only be positively surprised (or not surprised at all).

There is no raid in the new E3BC.

Hey! Is it actually spring out there? Baseball season has begun and playoff Hockey in full swing!
Spring, time to do a little cleaning up. Cordovan is going to be updating the Known issues list removing all the things that are actually fixed.
Here is a quick look at a good chunk of bugs that will be removed from the list. All of these are fixed.

DDO: Voiceovers for DM Text in Restless Isles doesn't match, all mixed up
DDO Store: Continue shopping link takes you to the homepage
Store: Filter: Shared Bank Space offer does not filter out once purchased, allowing multiple purchases
Spells: Combat Log: When Shield Wears Off its Combat Log Text has a Typo
Maze of Madness: Monsters Aggro at hirelings through walls, and combined with mephit monster summons, lead to red dungeon alert
Small Guild Chest (estore) has incorrect permissions
Update 7 Quests: Framework: Ballistas don't seem to function properly
U8 Blockade Buster: Perpetual falling spot on the ship
Ice Festival Coins and Epic Scrolls auto grant has DNT text
U9 - In the Flesh - Some lines of DM Text do not appear during boss battle
U9 Spell Revisions: Wiz/Sorc: Create Undead: Spell has a cooldown the description doesn't mention
DDO: eStore: Players who purchase Maple Airship Interior Stain receive White version instead

DDO: u18: Enhancements: Kensei: CBug: One With the Blade stops functioning when players log out then back in
DDO: Exploit: Ranger: Arcane Archer: Players can stack multiple elemental arrow stances
DDO: u21: Shards for Cake: Unselecting the "Do not auto-show this in quests" box does not make the Revive for Shards automatic…?

For every good news there is some bad news right? Yeah, sorry about that.
These are some issues that are just going to remain the way they are for the time being. Never say never, but these are not on the radar anymore.

Changing sort options in a Cannith Crafting device does not reset the device recipe list's page number.

Elven Accuracy is currently described as “2% to hit with all attacks.” While it is working, it does not give feedback anywhere that it is working.

Update 8 - Blockade Buster - A player who dies in a ship explosion remains in ship while ghosted.(by design)

Male Half Elf: Facial hair options should be on a different slider than facial detail options

U7 - Summon Monster IV - Greater Ice Mephit has incorrect skin(by design)

U9 - Examination Window UI - Grease is not listed under "Your Harmful Effects" in examination window

U9: spell revisions: Grease costs too much SP-the SP is correct.

DDO: U18: Enhancements: Frenzied Berserker: Exhausting Blow cost incorrect amount of AP--AP is correct.

Summon Monster III - skin and visibility problems with creatures

Summon Monster IX - Ghaele selection window zoomed in too close

Visual effects on +1 Starter Scimitar does not disappear during emotes.

White Dragonscale robe - When wearing this item, dark-skinned female drow neck turns white

Guild Mail Invites: Players receive them when the Game Option "Accept Guild Invites" is false

DDO: JBUG: LFG icon doesnt disappear when you group

Cyclonic Blast damage numbers don't display in combat log

Death Pact debuff persists through dungeon entry, though buff does not

Any issues that are not mentioned here are still on the known issues.

Uuumm Mr Prodmalphunktion sir, May 9th is Friday not Thursday.

Maj,

Anecdotal evidence:

For the last 3 months there is an average of about 10 people from my guild online throughout the day.

Since sagas went down, it has literally been 1-3. That's a HUGE hit. I imagine most guilds have similar make ups as mine with some Heroic TR'ers, and Epic TR'ers.

LFM list on Khyber has been absolutely dreadful. Totally DOA. ESPECIALLY end game.

This is seriously impacting gameplay, and causing people to look to other games who otherwise wouldn't simply because their friends aren't on.

You would be insane to not add Epic XP boost until you fix sagas. You have decimated your end game population with this programming error.

Very true. I am not even of the constant complainers on this board and I think that Saga bug is awful. What is even worse is that this bug will continue until Update 22, which is over 30 days away. An XP boost of 10% until that time doesn't compensate for taking Sagas down this long.

[dragon2fire]

the developers are fine with the comm drop rate.

That is really sad.....the drop rate is to low for how most people play and the fact that you guys think this ok is just depressing.

[Calonderial]

the developers are fine with the comm drop rate. Epic hard At level. Looking at raw data, most people run EH over level. It makes a difference.
Im not going to write a book on some of this. Varaguille has discussed the comm thing...all the way down to the math. Yes, the biggest xp/m quest is not optimal for comms.

Ill check my pm's
e3bc um...for fun? Check it on lamma next week.
Tomes...look at history. Tomes seem to always show up eventually.
targeting.ill investigate.
crystal cove loot will be adjusted the next time out. So this time is exactly as last year.

ah the promise word appears. There needs to be a discussion about this, when I'm on a real keyboard. I understand the community reaction. I'm not a fan of continuing the sins of the past because someone said something and it became law.
The rest of the year is about fixing the core game. Enhancements. Combat. Loot. There is new stuff too, but it all aligned with those 3 things.



If the double log thing is still happening plz share. I'm under the impression it is fixed.

Almost (60%) every time I log on I have to quit, of which 50% of the time the client then hangs and I have to manualy close it
