Downtime Notice: Tuesday, December 22nd 3:30 PM Eastern (-5 GMT)

Aaaand another DDO free night
Was looking forward to it too.

You sure about that? Look one post above your own.

On a side note, hand axes cause monks to become uncentered, but they are considered proficient with the weapon. And a little bit more aging on the monk side, why can't monks use clubs? Almost every major form of martial arts includes fighting sticks. Any chance you Devs out there can take a look at that if you all get a free moment after the hotfix?

"Time is constant, but its passage is subjective.".

Just because monks are proficient with a weapon doesn't mean it's a ki weapon. In PnP, you can only flurry with those weapons categorized as "monk" weapons (quarterstaff, kama, sai, shuriken, nunchaku, siangham). Becoming uncentered with a weapon in DDO is basically the equivalent of not being able to use your flurry of blows in PnP.

The worlds have reopened. Thank you for your patience during the downtime.

Awesome! Thanks!

after hotfix now my warlock is showing that she's not proficient in medium armor, even though she has the vestment enhancement <sigh>

[Unsmitten]

As in title, spellcasting implement was fixed from the 3 x item level back to 3 x enhancement bonus of the item. The problem now is that it is capped by the item level. so my lvl 14 +5 enhancement caster weapon with spellcasting implement on it gives +14 implement bonus, 1 less then is should base. BUT, I have +6 enhancement bonus added from enhancements and past lives, so it should be +34 implement bonus, but is capped by the item level at +14...

Love the game, but every update/patch/hotfix breaks as much or more then it fixes...

Is everyone able to get the buffs or even see the amenities on their airships? cause some friends and I don`t.

it's in the known issues that ship amenities/buffs can take up to an hour after server restart to repopulate/apear. It's an annoyance, but something you will have to wait out.

The hotfix will address the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where several Green Steel weapon effects would not persist through logout.
• Arcane Warrior now works with ranged weapons.
• Scion of Elysium's tooltip now makes it clearer that the bonuses apply to your pets.
• Riposte no longer causes game performance issues.
• Tendon Slice is no longer the cruelest form of PvP.
• Insightful and Quality Potency effects now give their proper type of bonus.
• We have adjusted the horn sounds in To Curse the Sky.
• Tempest Spine Runes are now accepted by the Tempest Rune Trader instead of Hound of Xoriat Runes, although the tooltip continues to ask for Xorian runes.
• Adjusted lighting and several other issues in the quest Creeping Death.
• Fortis should no longer get stuck in an NPC state in the final part of Legendary Shroud.
• Storm's Harness handwraps no longer lose their shocking effects. A recipe now exists in the Stone of Change to repair handwraps affected by this bug. NOTE: The Stone of Change will remove any Augments placed into the handwraps, so remove the Augments prior to using the Stone of Change.

World may have reopened, but it does no good if the launcher does not launch...https://www.ddo.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.png

Even going directly to the file as Administrator, When I try to launch DDO I get:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Turbine\Dungeons & Dragons Online\TurbineLauncher.exe

X Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item.

Guess another night of downloading and reloading the game until it decided to launch.

[Shoemaker]

I think you meant Jeweler's Kit and some folks have more than 1 Monk.

I did mean toolkit, I did mean 1/account. There's no reason for everyone to be able to stock up on a bunch of toolkits. 1 would be very nice of them. Alternatively, they could make it a chance to get one for a gold festivult coin or something.

Thanks for the hotfix

OK, On uninstall and reload 2 about to start 3rd. Anyone seen this problem before? I am running as administrator, from ICON, from file location and have tried running DDO client also with no luck. No restrictions on access or running listed. Running Win 10 and tried on Win 8 and Win 7 compatibility. It was running fine before the patch.

Edit: Ok still doing it after 4th install. Even uninstalled Akamai and rebooted each time. I give up.

Edit 2: 4th install worked finally. The issues... Avast decided Akamai was a virus. Akamai had decryption and download errors .. repeatedly, my firewall decided to block ddoclient.exe fun and games.

Ship Amenities still have not returned?!?

2+ hours since servers came back up, can you turn the Airship amenities back on?

[Edwinge]

Ship Amenities still have not returned?!?

Yeah, our ship amenities on Orien are still not there either. It's certainly been up for more than an hour.

[Elsbet]
