Lol. The only people who didn't see this coming from a country mile was SSG cause they don't listen to their players. *facepalm**facepalm**facepalm**facepalm**facepalm* *facepalm**facepalm**facepalm*

Well if you think like that for every update/patch, eventually you'll get it right.

[J1NG]

No Idea what Server you are on but we was in a Epic Von5 and got a 5 minute notice

I was on Thelanis, and there was no notification. Simply our characters got booted. Unlike the others who appeared to have got a notice.

Great! I suggested ssg do that

Oops, too late, I think we just lost you for a long time my friend, but we'll remember you. Fondly.
PS : dont bother about that plats I owned you.

[Maxxcore]

Doh! Just got off work and logged in to see servers going down in 9 seconds...

Got off work, and had 30 seconds of playtime before it closed down. Was confused, because when I tried to play this morning it was also down... sad

[Maxxcore]

Fixing the ammo bug. Fast when it benefits the players, but a decade to fix ladders.

What ammo bug? I see a lot of allusions to arrows but was not on between update and downtime.

On Ghallanda, at the end of Legendary Vision of Destruction.

The DDO game worlds are temporarily unavailable while we investigate game performance and other issues. We will keep you updated.

Another utter fail yet again from SSG. Dunno what your testing protocols are, but you definitely need to revisit them.

i certainly hope not. i still have to fulfill my goal of getting you to accept the bacon.

Missile ammo was selling for insane amounts of plat (like 500k plat) and even the House D vendor was getting on the action (42k plat for a stack of +1 arrows).

You could sell arrows for 1000x their normal sales price - each arrow was valued as if it was a proper weapon, such as a single +2 Holy sliver arrow = value of a +2 Holy silver Greatsword. So a stack of 100 arrows was worth a lot. That included selling arrows made with Cannith crafting.

After 20 TRs, I already have more plat than I can ever spend on Orien, so did not see the need.

Massive changes in a game's economy are a big no-no with online games. There can be huge legal ramifications, even with made up money.

[Mindos]

Does this mean it WASN'T the dojo causing the lag?

[Chaimberland]

Is there any e.t.a. on this? Wednesday night is group night for our guild. A few of us are waiting around but if its going to take a while it would be nice to know so we can call it a night and play next week.

I think it mostly applies to players on HCL, where no one has plat to start. I agree with you though, I hover around 4.2 million. Only use plat for guild pots and scrolls anymore.

[WilliamBraveheart]

Roll back to the version before today's update then fix the issues. First thing you do before an update is backup so you can roll back if there are huge issues.

What a surprise, a bug that could have greatly benefited players being immediately addressed without any tact whatsoever, whilst other longstanding bugs still remain unfixed years later.

I would like to know what SSG's response would be to the following scenario:

1. Player buys a Legendary Raid Timer for 150 DDO Store Points.
2. Player resets timer for a Raid that he is seeking an item from.
3. Raid is completed and item spawns in chest for player.
4. Before player can loot the chest, server is shutdown without any notice.
5. Player has now lost item he was seeking as well as any raid runes.

Would that player be compensated for any loss?

[HailBlazR]

What a disaster. I've been playing this game on and off for >10 years now. Rarely post here, but this is honestly one of Turbine/SSG's worst blunders I've seen in the game's entire history. And that's including all sorts of other middle fingers to the players, such as removing legacy guild elemental resistance shrines.

Reminds me why I haven't spent a single dime on this game in the past 5 years. Pretty clear that SSG doesn't want my money, so I won't give it to them. At least the core gameplay of DDO is good enough, preventing me from quitting outright.

The DDO game worlds are temporarily unavailable while we investigate game performance and other issues. The game worlds will remain down overnight, and we will have more information tomorrow morning. We are currently working to deploy a game update to address these issues.
