Downtime Notice: 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) Thursday, July 19th

[Cordovan]

UPDATE: The game worlds have reopened.

The DDO game worlds will be unavailable from 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) on Thursday, July 19th for a hotfix.

We intend to correct the following issues:

• Fix an issue causing a game crash in White Plume Mountain.
• Correct the in-game link to the DDO Store item when someone who does not have the Falconry Universal Enhancement tree attempts to view the enhancement.
• Fix an issue that can cause the quest The Price of Freedom to not be able to be completed if you stop talking to Talbron halfway through his dialogue.
• Fix an issue causing human male hirelines to T-Pose.

We believe we managed to slip one more quest blocking bug fix into this hotfix:

• Fixed an issue that would break quest objective progression in Another Man's Treasure if the players did not kill all enemies in the workshop before progressing to the end boss.

+1 lol

Game would close on me whenever someone in the party opened a chest or maybe looted a chest in Tomb of the Wizard King. Did not have this issue when running the Bowl of Blood quest in the Zawabi desert before that. MacBook Air running High Sierra.

Frozen at character selection ....

And why the client window will pop up to front automatically? I know this game is not supposed to be played at background, but if the client window pop up automatically when my boss is around...

Hiding the client window somewhere means I can come back later for quest that is unfinished. but Alt+F4 means I have to start over again.

My guess is their boss forced them to launch. At least this is what I am personally telling myself. Still have nightmares from the reign of Turbine/WB (may be some hidden trauma).

Please fix the worms in belly of the beast. It sooo annoying and can't complete saga without it.

[Optalidon]

After the update, my main character, Optalidon on Ghallanda, can't log in anymore, as soon as it logs in the client crashes. The other toons works well. Please help in saving Optalidon, I created it ten years ago and it is my favourite toon. Opened a ticket but no fixing.

thanks

Frozen at character selection ....

I got luckier than you, I could select my toon, hit "Enter" and then nothing but a nice "Loading..... Please Wait".
Albeit, this was on my vip account, my f2p account has no issue whatsoever logging in. Tried both via regular DDO and Steam.
Not the first it has happened but first time in the last 3 months or so at least.

[OrodelaSol]

I was about to complain that it is going to take just as long to fix 4 or 5 things as it did to implement the entire update when I realized 95% of my post are complaints...I know if things are running as they should we are too busy playing to post but clearly we enjoy the game otherwise would be on some other games site complaining about its issues. DDO is the best online game ever IMHO. Thank you Turbine and now SSG. Now hurry it up!

1-800-HEYSTACK *The* hireline.

That's why he's loses focus at times. He's paid and runs his own business. I swear if I catch him talking on the phone 1 more time in a quest, wait...I haven't hired him in years. OMG he's still in business!

I take my chances without paid help. Been burned too many times. Literally.

However if you want to pay to play, Selis is always a good time. Totally recommend.

Ok so I have redone my enhancements, and taken my FVS for a test run, seems ok apart from Divine Vessel, which now seems to be broken.. b4 if was a case of activating it and it would drop a meteor when conduit was charged, now it seems to be a clicky, which would be ok if it charged up!!! it is now a catch 22 function, it wont charge until activated but can't be activated until charged!!!!! did no one test this before roll out? will this issue be looked into during the fix?

Agreed. It's easy to get salty about downtime in the days of games like Warframe which can deploy hotfixes without going offline, but given the age of DDO's engine and server architecture, and how much I love this game, it's a small price to pay. I hope the servers are up early though, that would be nice.

I like that this community is mature enough (from what I see) to not have massive raging derp-fits whenever there's a bug, or fix or whatever. It makes a refreshing change!

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

Seems to me that maybe divine conduit should return to being a toggle...... the good reasons for it being a toggle seem to far outweigh the reasons why it should remain the mess of a clicky that it currently has become.

[MichelOue]

same my spell were disturbed this update and lost 2 other functions … 3 total gone. haste devine vitality and some attack

Did the whole chain of quests yesterday, but have serious issues with the scaling, had full party and ran it, and seemed like it was a level 33+ adventure for the quests in The Twelve, yet when i ran WPM on EE it was easier than all the new content in The Twelve, have no idea what was going on, but seems the scaling was completely out of whack, the level 23+ quests on EE were harder than the EE WPM quest itself, havent seen any other posts relating this, but i did whole chain with group, and solo and died more times than i can remember on an EE level 23+ quest, than i ever do on level 30+ EE quests. Plz Fix.

[DrizzitDorden]

hello there long time player here i am really concerned about how standingstones games an their TESTERS keep releasing BROKEN content to us? you FLAT out REFUSE to fix other issues like LAG an how the enemies can kills us an you claim it does not exist?another thing why is it YOU do RELEASE everything BROKEN?? times cannot be that rough for you that you must force us to pay for soemthing that is broken..chances are you would not buy a car that is broken so why keep SLINGING us stuff that is broken? this is a genuine neglect an disrespect on the creators /owners part.how long till what little of the ddo COMMUNITY bails out cause of the lack of interest in your players concerns?we the PEOPLE PLAYERS OF DDO deserve better as we fill your coffers for broken promises
