Downtime Notice: 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) Friday, October 3rd

[Cordovan]

UPDATE: The worlds have reopened! Thank you for your patience, and we will see you in the game!

The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Friday, October 3rd from 7:00 - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for a hotfix. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

Here are the details about today's hotfix:

• The Mark of Death raid now has a 20th completions list. Players who have run the raid will have their under-20 completions retained, and players who have already exceeded 20 completions will have their progress to the next 20 completions retained.
• Fixed an issue that could cause some players to not be awarded loot from the end chest of The Mark of Death raid.
• Fixed several issues with armors and other items not creating the proper cosmetic when using the Mirror of Glamering. This fix is not retroactive; players who created a cosmetic armor using the Mirror of Glamering who are not satisfied with the resulting cosmetic item due to a change in the item's look or coloring should contact support, either in-game or through support.turbine.com.
• The Key to the City - Eveningstar can once again be used on a guild airship.
• The Quest Arc reward for the Epic Orchard of the Macabre quest chain now offers better loot.
• Knight of the Chalice: Exalted Smite's cooldown now decreases with the amount of ranks spent in the enhancement.
• Two Handed Fighting and Two Weapon Fighting are no longer mutually exclusive.
• Heart Seeds will now be offered to eligible characters as a reward option when running Epic Orchard of the Macabre quests, Epic Gianthold quests, and Epic Three Barrel Cove quests.
• Fixed an issue that caused all effects that provide a +2 Insight Bonus to Strength to instead provide a +3 Insight Bonus to Intelligence.

Will this also address the goggles not showing issue?

[noneill]

How about Mirror of Glamering? Will it fix that? If so will the fixes be retroactive?

Thanks.

[Mayen]

Think before the Hotfix goes into effect you can see if you can fix fireball? The quintessential AOE spell from D&D is at DC 20ish at endgame right now (for spell and SLA both).

[Cordovan]

We will have further details about the hotfix tomorrow morning, but this hotfix will target several loot issues with The Mark of Death raid, fix an issue that caused cosmetic items created by the Mirror of Glamering to have an altered look or coloring*, offer better loot in the Quest Arc reward for the Epic Orchard of the Macabre, and several other things.


* This fix will not be retroactive. Players who created a cosmetic armor using the Mirror of Glamering who are not satisfied with the resulting cosmetic item due to a change in the item's look or coloring should contact support, either in-game or through support.turbine.com, after tomorrow's hotfix.

[Sebastrd]

Woohoo! Get ready for drop rates to take a nosedive everyone.

Not yet, they haven't sold enough packs yet. Give it another week or two.

Will this also allow Warforged to glamour Docents? I've got one that I'd really like to use!

[Lifespawn]

i'm assuming no fix for the pally cleaves with handwraps since you have avoided acknowledging it

No fix for the Slay 20 of what?? who knows??

[Draculetta]

Crossing fingers this will address the Hirelings as well!

[Qhualor]

Crossing fingers this will address the Hirelings as well!

might want to cross your toes too on that one.

[GeoffWatson]

Which, if any, of the following bugs will get fixed?

Sting of the Ninja,
Blessed Blades,
Vorpal Fists,
Abbot's Energy Burst - no save,
Lightning Sphere - no save,
Lich force blast - no save and not in combat log,
Harper Healing Amp,

Geoff.

Woohoo! Get ready for drop rates to take a nosedive everyone.

Oh you got good drop rates? Gratz...

I am close to ransack on 3 characters on each quests, and so far not much named dropped under my name.

Bracers from Gop
Fang Gloves from Vol
Googles from Inferno

Thats all so far

But yeah i heard about people looting dozens+ of gear pieces, including armors and helms with a set bonus.

PS: +1 for above post, Lighning Sphere needs a massive nerf, at least cut the ability to shoot it thru a locked door!.

[Captain_Pengie]

Crossing fingers this will address the Hirelings as well!

By Lolth's spinnerets I hope so - I've lost count of the number of ways in which they have been broken by this update. It is long past time that Turbine admitted that the whole Hireling AI code base is broken and threw it out to start over from scratch (or at the very least use LOTRO's working AI as a basis for change).

Guess I can't complain too much though - at least they show up when summoned unlike the Dryad Elder from Primal Avatar who is so sick of the whole thing she can't be bothered to even make an appearance anymore.

Even Though you didn't say it was fixed or even acknowledge avenging and exalted cleave not working with handwraps

I have to point out that this hotfix was Way early for those that say things never go on time.

[Aishana]

Hm. So I guess broken floors still appear unbroken? Makes running Crucible a hoot. Not to mention hirelings are even more ******** now than they were before the update. I leave my hire at the beginning of the dungeon, and he/she runs across the entire dungeon to use searing light on something, then runs back to the beginning unless I remember to park him/her on passive. But at least they teleport immediately now instead of running halfway and teleporting when they're ten feet from you, so that's a plus, I guess.

Can/Will Mythics be part of the possible End reward items for the ("The Quest Arc reward for the Epic Orchard of the Macabre quest chain")?
