I missed the post about the down time today. I always check but had my head was where the sun doesn't shine and I just missed it. Anyway, halfway through The Blood Road I see the message the worlds will be brought down in 9 seconds please log out. I was a little miffed at my own stupidity at first but now I find it pretty darn funny .

Good Luck with the fixes.

That's great, but is there a reason why you had to wait exactly 24 hours before bringing down all servers again to do this? Seems like you could have done it 12 hours or more ago, but hey that would have been slightly inconvenient for the Americans I guess, can't have that.

Likely because that's when the people at Turbine and the data center actually have people on the job to do it.

Thanks for all of the recent efforts in tackling the lag monster.

First iteration of Lammania should be up within a week or so, update would be a couple weeks after that. I would say sometime in May.

Thanks for all of the recent efforts in tackling the lag monster.

Agree!

Well bummer I was about to log in and slay evil undead beasts for a bit, but hey if the downtime improves lag. I am all for it.

[Galad1]

Thanks for all of the recent efforts in tackling the lag monster.

Its head should be on a pike outside Stormreach to warn other similar creatures to stay away!

[trevitt]

Yes, Update 31 has new quests.

Awesome! Thank you for responding.

It's important to not let anecdotal evidence overly weigh against other factors, but in general while running quests on Wayfinder, Argo, and Thelanis (as a comparison) yesterday post-downtime I was looking for less stutter-step lag, smoother and more accurate data communication (things like hit detection, damage numbers, etc.) along with the basic overall experience. My experience was positive, and the limited feedback I've been getting from raiders has been overall positive as well.

Nice.

But you need to beef up your Barbarian. Kinda squishy

[Cordovan]

The worlds have reopened. Thank you!

[uknowddo]

On Ghallanda at least

[Dandonk]

The worlds have reopened. Thank you!

OK, it could've been worse. Hopefully it will help with lag in raids!

Guild buffs have reset on my airship and some of the buffs I already owned have changed to get and place. Is this a just wait a while thing for stuff to repopulate?

Yes, give it up to an hour and things should be back.

[Amundir]

Yes, give it up to an hour and things should be back.

Heh, the number of times you've had to say that, might as well put it in your sig...

I've been saying for a while now that it should just be a standard part of the "Worlds are back up!" notice.

[Lerincho]

Yes, give it up to an hour and things should be back.

I say just stop opening them early and open them once the amenities script runs.

[Giedon]

UPDATE: The worlds have reopened. Thank you!

The DDO game worlds will be brought down for maintenance on Thursday, April 21st from 1:00 - 3:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT). This is being done to implement the changes made yesterday to Argonnessen and Wayfinder to the other game worlds, and necessitates that all worlds be brought down. Thank you.

Just like to report completed this raid for the first time in weeks. Trying again with hopefully a higher server population on EH.

EH DOJ, got to boss and failed due to player error. This shows improvement to me.

GOOD JOB!

Just ran sentinels chain and still areas of rubberbanding despite being solo and in a not very demanding quest.
Overall very marginally better but not significant to install complete confidence yet.
