Hotfix

This certainly is a hotfix for CC. CC gets closed and we get Mabar instead .

Hoep it does not last ´til after 12 o´clock.

No they close both permanently

[Illethian]

Because they work 9-5 shifts like everyone else? Just a guess.

Even grocery stores insure work/changes are done during the off business hours as to not interrupt customers. 3 am est is always dead. Many peeps play at 9-12.

Hey at least im not vip paying by the minute. Premium all content all races classes etc. Probably too late to do that and save money now......

Service Technicians charge more during night hours, so it´s more cost sensitive to do this in primetime ^^.

Yeah, and we get the Risia Ice games instead - or the Degenev brothers on Marketplace. Otherwise they would not have any sorry excuse for the lag the quests and overly scaling raid zones are causing ^^.

[moomooprincess]

Do I sense an extension?

[Cordovan]

The downtime has been extended until 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT). We apologize for the additional delay.

[Jatner]

Noooooo!

[Bargol]

Can you just revert it back to before the hotfix to fix the hotfix to fix the hotfix so the servers can be brought up instead?

[SymphonicTheory]

Because that's the working hours for the company and lets see you do a better job than they do hmmm. Other than the changes they have done to some classes and those planned for others I am happy with Turbine.

You havent played many mmo's, or mobas have you.... this is actually one of the worst response teams, and slowest updates and hotfixes possible. when this is "fixed" some other piece of code goes missing, or something rewrites itself, or doesn't link to proper coding, etc..... after all is said and "fixed" something else is just going to "break" again.

And why is a simple hotfix taking so LONG.

that would not break the stuff which is scheduled to be fixed in the next hotfix.

I have played lots and in my experience its better than Sony's, Blizarrd's and its slips my mind but the idiots who did CoH

Well, it's simple business 101, higher % of players play at x time to y time. We have way less people playing at this <> time, let's do it then to minimize disruption to way fewer customer's.

(I work, and often have to start early or stay late)

You're doing it wrong.

Is this an Ops center issue or was there a problem with the deployed hotfix and they're lavafixing the hotfix?

[moomooprincess]

This is a networking issue and involves all of Turbine's games.

Happy Halloween!!!

My local government has declared that today is the day to give out candy, because on the 31st the government has to "sponsor" things to promote themselves. Luckily, tomorrow is going to be fricking cold so it is actually better to not have the kids out in that weather.

Done for the day and off to do chores.

Someone forgot the Scotty rule for estimating how long a job should take...

How did that go? "Ye take tha time it'd actually take ye ta finish tha job, an' ye double it, an when ye git done in half tha time, ye look like a miracle worker, laddie!" or some such?

UPDATE: The downtime has been extended until 2:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT). We apologize for the additional delay.

The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, October 30th from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) for a hotfix. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

This hotfix is being done to fix an issue where some quest NPCs are not providing End Reward lists when speaking to them after completing a quest.

It would seem to me that the hours to do these so-called hot-fixes would be before 8 AM
