Downtime Notice: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) Thursday, September 24th

It depends on your current ranged power. Assuming full stacks of archer's focus you gain 45 RP now vs 30% dmg before.

At 0 Ranged power, it's better, being a 45% damage increase
At 100 ranged power, it's worse, being a relative 22% damage increase vice a 30% damage increase
The crossover point is somewhere around 60 Ranged power which would be a total 2.05 multiplier in the new system, and a 2.08 multiplier in the old.

This helps. I can't wait till I get a machine that has DDO on it to look and see where I'm at in terms RP. I'm a pure arty, sadly our 2 enhacement trees do not grant any ranged power. I'm pumping it up with Harper tree.

how could NO ONE notice this?

There is a Known Issue we want to make sure folks are aware of:

Devil's Gambit

• Tavern Brawl
  
  • NEW: Divine Crusader's Consecration can cause the the quest to become incompletable. Players should not use this ability in the quest for now.

Short version: We are very interested in your feedback when playing level 30 quests in Update 28 onwards, in regards to monster balance. In particular, please pay attention to monster saving throws.

Okay, here's some feedback:

In the Devil's Gambit quests, the Cultists are, by FAR, the STRONGEST MOBS IN THERE. The melee ones (as opposed to the archers) have the highest fort saves of any mobs in those quests. They also do the most damage! It's bizarre, because you'd kind of expect the actual DEVILS to be stronger, but the devils are ****ants compared with these friggin cultists! I was easily stunning orthons and abishai and everything else in there, but cultists, HAHA NOPE. I think Arraetrikos would be kind of despondent to hear that the humans are making his hordes of invading devils look like a buncha scrubs.

What did you DO to the humans?!

"can cause" isn't the same as "will cause every single time". It's probably a weird combination of circumstances that isn't likely to happen but that they also can't predict exactly WHEN it will happen.

It looks to me as though they did notice it, no caps lock required.

Cordovan's "back up!" message was posted 2:04 PM (forum time...), the known issue was posted 2:43 PM. Unless people stormed the new content, reported the bug, and it was identified in record time, this appears to be a bug they decided to just let go to live. After all, it only effects 1 out of 12 Destinies, right?

I admit, this caught me unawares.

Confidence level is not high on a smooth install in time for the weekend.

I was wrong. No downtime or patch AFAIK. Game on.
