Downtime Notice: Thursday, October 14th 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT)

Easy, you can calculate it yourself:

I've noticed - barring some exceptions - that downtime due to patches always takes twice as long as planned -1 hour.

The downtown scheduled was 9 AM - 1 PM, that's four hours. So it will take instead 4 x 2 -1 = 7 hours, in other words 3 hours longer that announced. This means servers are expected to be fully up again around 4 PM or 16:00 GMT.


The more you know ...

I think you are about right. Except I remember the MoTU update...the hour multiplier became days. :P

"We ran into a build issue overnight

.... and ran into a fixing build issue today. So, it will be back online when they get those issues resolved.

the new meld into darkness upcaps dodge bonus allowing the candy to stay that makes your dodge the same as your listen score
could give you over a 100 dodge. not a big deal to me but some people cry foul

It only gives 15% uncapped dodge, so the maximum is still around something like 80% dodge cap with an otherwise extremely unoptimized build of like Gnome 18 Monk/2 Fighter Shadowdancer ED with a very specific sets of filigrees.

I dont know if the language is innaccurate, but it says it uncaps dodge and adds 10% additional, but for 10 secs. In its current form, you get 100% uncapped for 15 secs. So I would say the candy is still largely irrelevant to game breaking.

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. :-)

Are you sure? I see the preview notes say it's:

>Meld into Darkness: Active: Gain 10% uncapped dodge 6/8/10s, cooldown 15 seconds.

or when upgraded

>Meld now grants 15% uncapped dodge. When enemies miss you in combat while Meld is active, they are blinded by shadows with no save. This blind lasts 5 seconds and can only apply to each monster once per 60 seconds.

It doesn't say anything about removing dodge cap entirely, just that the added doge from Meld is uncapped.

So, is it safe to assume that when their update said the worlds would reopen at 1pm, that they meant PDT?

Edit: Looks like the game went back up the very second I posted this.

The natives are getting restless, Rob.

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

Thank you, that's some pretty important information.

Game is up

[gravisrs]

Well they had to nerf the dodge candy.

Level cap increase is coming, dodge curve (items) already hits cap with items at lvl 30 (15% dodge + 7% insightful dodge + extra from feats/past lives/trees gets way above 25% cap). This will make every lvl 30+ dodge item useless. So the first step is to remove items that easily gets you to the cap like this candy.

Seconds step would be to turn dodge mechanics to something similar as we have with PRR/MRR formula Same thing with concealment bonuses prolly.

All those numbers in current state are not gonna progress over lvl 30+ very well.

Thanks for opening the game back up!!!

[Cordovan]

The game worlds have reopened.

[Aelonwy]

There was a Cosmetic Orb planned that looked like a Jack-o-Lantern that had to be cut for scheduling reasons. We're hoping to bring it back in the future!

Neat!

2495 points the nightmare. LOL. I was going to buy it, but not at that price, thank you.

SSG, hire someone who knows marketing. You would sell more at more reasonable prices lol
