UPDATE: The game worlds have reopened.

The DDO game worlds will be unavailable on Thursday, October 14th from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) to release Update 50.4. Read the release notes on DDO.com.

[Cordovan]

We ran into a build issue overnight so the deployment has been delayed a bit, but is still happening today. The game worlds are expected to become unavailable around 10:00 AM. This likely means we will not be able to open by 1:00 PM, but we'll see.

A lot of small, but appreciated updates in here. Glad to see it.

I have a question about "New copies of the Precision Lenses from White Plume Mountain now have their correct version of Manslayer."
Does this only apply to Precision Lenses that are looted in the future? It won't apply to the ones already in our inventory?

[Aelonwy]

Thanks for fixing the +W of random and CC weapons, and alignment effects.

I can't wait to see the new mounts in the store.

I hope, I hope, I hope the Feywild Nightmare is the one in the store and the Red Saltmarsh one is the one in DD. I will pay for what I want but I don't approve nor will participate in what I view as gambling.

So Flameward can be updated in the Legacy Altar? Does this mean its the last and ALL Web of Chaos items can be properly updated in the Legacy altar now or was Flameward the first to be fixed? Apologies if I've missed something in a previous patch.

*chuckles* No more half clad Boromar Muscles. ;p

Lots of sweet QoL hidden in Miscellaneous guys, much appreciated.

Non-existent Jackorb? So we're getting a cosmetic shield but there was an orb that got scrapped? Interesting. Did it look like a Jack o'lantern? That would have been cool.

This only applies to new copies of the Precision Lenses, so versions of the item that already exist will not be changed.

Is there reason why some item fixes are applied retroactively and others are only applied to newly acquired items? Asking for a friend...

Cheers,

Several additional options for the Gem of Many Facets have been added.

Interesting! Details?

[YTSEsoldier]

Interesting! Details?

Just more opportunity to waste threads rerolling...if paying with threads (or shards or whatever) there should be an option to buy the set bonuses you actually want since more options means more chances for sets that wont be useful to you particular build.


First quote did not make it into thread...was addressing new set bonuses for gem of many facets.

[dsmwhiteknight]

The Truthful Bow set now provides its correct amount of Fortification bypass.

Should be Blow, not Bow. Took me a while to figure out what this was. I was am a bow user and was very interested and thought it was a set bonus I did not know about. :-)

So...over 1 month in from U50 and still no Legendary Sands items/option for Neb fragment, or did it just get left out of the notes? I mean, why bother finishing something you started when you can work on something else, right ?

Toggles! (ddo.com)

Did Lynnabel's toggle fix make it into this patch?

[DYWYPI]

Mindos, Cordovan was abducted by aliens hence the post time displacement... More than likely, the post was made in advance, and then moved or unhidden today.

I’m still waiting for them to finish LGS (seven years).

And you’re correct. Pride in workmanship absolutely does not exist at SSG. It appears as though the only thing that motivates them is fear of public-shaming, or praise from the forums.

They're actually slated to be in U51, which is the next full update after U50, which was the debut of this overhaul.

We're holding that and the spell hitbox adjustments back for U51 proper so we can be sure they're all working 100% as intended. These backend changes can sometimes have the potential to really destabilize things, so better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the reply...its good to have a target date at least. Hopefully there will be a perfected item or 2 that is actually useful for melee as the options Lahar gives now are pretty much caster items. The Perfected Charged Gauntlets are Meh at best (Sovereign lightning strikes <<<<<<<<< dripping with magma and speed is on every third melee item so likely duplicate stat), and being "crafted/purchased" the Perfected dragon helm will never have reaper ability boost with helmet as of yet the ONLY slot that gets that bonus, makes it kinda difficult to choose (not to mention that half of its bonuses are caster based and it is still a ridiculously rare drop that cannot be purchased with runes yet). And Jidz is for monks...

Thank you, that's some pretty important information.
