Worlds aren't quite ready but we are close. Champion Hunter Week enabled and being checked.

see a bribe from the devs, we have to grind it ourselves but that's what we are here for

[gv1807]

Hey Cordo, have you forgotten about daylight saving or something? Times are now GMT-4!!!

[Grandern_Marn]

I am more concerned about getting this lag problem taken care of than only getting a 12 hour downtime notice.

Totally. I am sure the devs are throwing what they can at the lag issue now. Everyone can see the unusually great number of threads and posts about lag since the the server move. For the players, DDO is our leisure time, for the devs its their livelihood.

If improving the lag situation means short notice downtime, so be it.

[Giedon]

Guessing this means maybe more REMs? Seems to me the lag started when REMs started dropping more. I can do without picking up 3 REMs every 2nd or 3rd Champ if that fixes the lag. Hell I'd love to see the REMs put right in my bag like Fragments of the Twelve are.

[Cordovan]

Worlds are open!

[alancarp]

So you AGAIN have little notice ... and AGAIN you are down ... great ... cannot wait to get up tomorrow to see "server closing in 60 minutes for maintenance" .... get you act together ... this is pathetic administration of a game that people pay for ... your not some free service ... absolutely pathetic work

Notice was given. Lots of notice.

Haters scream: "It's been three weeks Turbine! The game is unplayable! DO SOMETHING!!!"

Turbine does something.

Haters scream: "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING TURBINE!!??"



I don't care. Take the game down with short notice. Take the game down without notice.

They need to fix it. I prefer it gets fixed as quickly as possible. Not try a fix, didn't work, oh we have to give a weeks notice to try again.

Once fixed they need to offer cool **** to appease the angry masses. Free mead and elven hookers all around.

But fix it first.

They do get auto gathered--it's just that remnants are collectables, not ingredients.

[dustineli]

So this won't fix the player accounts who should be premium and have been for years that were downgraded to free to play?

Not what is meant. Remnants sit on the floor until you target them and pick them up. Fragments go straight to your inventory.

Don't need downtime for that. A polite ticket to account support fixed my wifes account nice and quick.

[dustineli]

Nope guess not. So now i have been downgraded to free player(from premium), the store simply disconnects me so I can't use that, and i can't even submit a ticket out of game (in game ticket referred me to out of game one). *edit* ok now the ticket finally went through

Please get in touch with Account Support so they can resolve your issue. This can be done through support.turbine.com.

Sad but true.

...tho no Elven hookers plz. They're fragile and break too easy. Give me a good ol' Horc lass. (Or maybe Human. )

... Remnants sit on the floor <for 3 minutes or> until you target them and pick them up. ....

Small fix. That 3-minute thing makes them kinduva scratchy-itchy thing having to quickly scan the battlefield for little Pac-Man droppings, tho I do understand why the timers were put on them.

[Giedon]

Not what is meant. Remnants sit on the floor until you target them and pick them up. Fragments go straight to your inventory.

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say. Horrible to be 100 yards off when someone says "REM" so you run back to pick up 2. Or even just the targeting and picking them up off the floor, time wasting. Put them bad boys right in my inventory so I don't have to think about the horrible number I just received.

This is done on purpose, and has been said many times they won't be changing it. It prevents people from soloing with 5 alts and all of them getting remnants.

Since they are BtA, it would take 1/5 the time for you to get what you need. If they auto grabbed them they would have to either make the piles smaller or make them BtC.

Victimless "crime". What/who would it hurt if someone did this with 5 alts? It's not like they're stealing the remnants out of someone else's inventory. They're BTAoA so it's not like they could sell them and it can't hurt the in-game economy.

If they have the resources and put in the effort to run 6 instances at once, good for them. It doesn't/wouldn't impact me or anyone else in any noticeable way.

Exactly!

The rational that someone multi-boxing for rems is somehow detrimental to someone else' is idiotic.

Are people really that concerned/jealous that someone else will receive a cosmetic crown or pet that they covet so dearly?

[Aelonwy]

My issue with the whole remnants on floor till you get them, started with the data center move. The lag means sometimes the remnants don't appear till their time is almost gone or after I've left that dead group of mobs thinking nothing dropped but wait... I come back to use the shrine minutes later and discover hey that orange named champion did drop a chest it just took forever to appear. Worst of all I might see rems drop and call them out to my hubby or son but lag has them running in place, or dc-ing and by the time they can move again those little yellow dots are long gone.

At least the chests stick around awhile. I like the extra chests but I really do wish the regular champion rems auto collected like fragments, especially now that LAG is visiting us with unholy retribution.
