Downtime Notice: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) Thursday, July 21st

[thomascoolone64]

The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, July 21st from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for an update to the game. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

Notes:

Enhancements:

• The Artificer's Arcanotechnician's Arcane Mechanism now works correctly.
• The Arcanotechnician's Automated Repairs now works more reliably.
• The Ranger Deepwood Stalker's Merciful Shot should now use Ranged Power instead of Melee Power.

Items:

• Combat Mastery now functions correctly.
• Spell Focus now properly adds to all DC schools.
• Deception's tooltip now displays properly.
• The Epic Riftmaker's force damage and glow now functions.

Quests and Adventure Areas:

• Haunted Halls of Eveningstar - Implemented changes that should help us identify a cause for why the doppleganger fight sometimes fails to function correctly. This may also reduce the number of times this issue may occur.
• What Goes Up - Created a workaround for an issue that could prevent some players from repeating the quest. Affected players should now speak with Sherrod, then speak with Kara Patwin, the Heroic Arc-giver for the Stormhorns, and follow the prompts to repair What Goes Up. Taking an arc reward from the Heroic Stormhorns Arc should allow Sherrod to speak with them again. If this workaround does not resolve your issue, please submit a bug report through ddobugs.turbine.com so we can identify further fixes.

• The Epic Riftmaker's force damage and glow now functions.

THANK YOU!!!

I know the feeling. I keep hitting refresh hoping the servers come back up earlier than anticipated. I am happy for the patch though so I am trying to be patient.

Wasn't this also supposed to fix the U29 scaling damage issue and non-functioning DR breakers on randomgens.

[Aurora1979]

[Velorne]

Got mine too. Now this:

Failed to read authentication response[err: unexpected end of file][line: 1][col:1]

[thomascoolone64]

Will Epic Riftmakers icon background display as the weapon having force damage on it? Or keeping the blue default background?

[jalont]

Got mine too. Now this:

Failed to read authentication response[err: unexpected end of file][line: 1][col:1]

This is the normal cycle. Patch server goes up and log in server stays down while they test.

The patch servers may be online but the actual game servers are still off ... Thats why your getting that denial of connection

Can someone from turbine (thanks guys I want a dev on record here) explain what they mean by saying they fixed combat mastery? With examples please.

What they mean is, the full bonus of te item now applies to you (I think)

I'm quite sure that all combat masteries were giving the same bonus type, despite their listed type, so they weren't stacking properly.

UPDATE: The game worlds are open.

I appreciate the answers. I know how it worked up until now, but I want to know exactly what the devs intend to do with it.

[Cordovan]

Also, I said earlier Patch 4. I meant Patch 3.

Just logged back in. Went to my guild ship-- click on "get buffs". Nothing. Nada. Bupkiss.

Went downstairs-- and the ship is **empty**... nothing, nada, everything is just *gone*.

***?

Thanks alot, Turbine!

lol not sure how often you play or what not. its always been like that. it can take a hour for your buffs to spawn. this is nothing new or anything turbine trying to pull anything on you.

[JOTMON]

Well, pardon me for not living in the stupid forums-- I either play or I'm doing something else.

You'd think THAT would be a red-text entry on every single frikkin' Service News:

"Oh, and as per our usual lackadaisical ineptitude, ship buffs won't populate for quite some time, as per policy. We have known about this for years, and we do not give a rat's fart about our actual paying customers. But more importantly? New guilds might just purchase these a second time, and we make even MORE money from naive newbies. It's how we keep in business, as we keep p8ssing off our VIP players."

It wont let you rebuy them since you already own them..
except the cargohold.. may screw up those ones...
