Update 56.0.1 - TBA

[Cordovan]

We are currently working on a game update to correct several issues encountered with the release of Update 56. We do not currently have an ETA to announce, although the intention is to potentially get the update out before the weekend, so stay tuned here for more information.

[Arkat]

Thanks for the update.

[Xgya]

I'm glad there's at least some level of public response and an estimated time.

Hopefully most of the kinks introduced were a one-time thing involving the rather extensive banking and class infrastructure changes.

I won't say I'm pleased with the update as-is, and my opinion isn't exactly prone to change even after the bugs are fixed, but I can at least say some of it looked promising.

Just this little update (information) and customer relations goes long way.

Thank you so much.

I know the community is hackled up right now with the fiasco that was Update 56's release, but I know I speak for many when I say, we appreciate the work that's being done to get the game back on track. I'm sure it's almost as frustrating, if not more, for the devs to watch an update that they put time and effort into flop as hard as this one did. I know it can be kinda depressing to look at it and then have to think about expanding Archtypes to include other new ones (given the highly mixed feelings towards certain Archtypes *cough* DA *cough* and what the splash damage caused by their introduction meant to existing builds that use some of the overlapping mechanics *cough* Sonic Blast *cough*).

I would like to reiterate a widely held community opinion. We as a general community value Quality over quantity every day. We would rather a release be delayed out for several weeks or even a month or so than it to be released in a rough state like this update did. I've been very pleased with the last several major releases. This one was just the dropped ball, but it happens from time to time.

Best wishes and hope you guys aren't pulling your hair out too hard trying to dowse the fires over there. I'm sure after this release the long weekend is going to be badly needed. Looking forward to getting back in the game after the patch and hoping it includes some much needed tweaks.

Best,
Xezom

Thank you for working on this. My entire social life relies on it.

Can you give us all an in game gift to make up for this?

Maybe 3-4 years ago, but when every single update is rushed out riddled with bugs, I have zero sympathy. And when they're rushed out with bugs that were IN LAMANNIA, I have negative sympathy.

what is going on? why can't you all do anything right? you nerf the weaker classes because 1% of population can do something 99% of us can't. just because someone whines? well we complain, the 99% and no one listens. you make it harder for new people to want to play. now you rush this update and its all messed up. TR is unavailable which means new subclasses are unavailable. Now the bank won't let you in, and then suddenly, even in a wilderness, they bank keeps popping up over and over again. no matter how many times u click it off, it just keeps on doing it. can't play with bank screens in Ur face. I have played for 10 years faithfully. VIP and buying points etc. and now the loading screens from hell is going on. our entire group had to restart our computers because we are stuck in a forever loading screen (cleaning up old connections) ****. our entire group. The lag is ridiculous. Are you trying to kill the game? if you would actually play this game, you might know what real game play is about. it's about having fun and doing strategy. Always trying to redo your character to make it better. I knew several people that decided not to renew their VIP first because the ridiculous nerfs, now because we cant even play the damned game. You all need fired and start from scratch with all new people that actually love this game and actually play it faithfully. And all those people that praise them for this ****, shame on u.

You really need to grow up. Do you honestly think that getting like this is going to get you anywhere?

You are the MAN Cordo!

Always underestimated, and Always come through for us. Thank you for always getting the word out to us!

Thanks for working on a fix. I hope correcting the issues include fixing the overnerf of sonic blast, holy smite, favored soul angel of vengeance, Aasimar racials.

There was quite a lot of sensible, coherent, thoughtful feedback on Lamannia. That was NOT listened to either. I do not honestly think our opinions are taken seriously in most cases only our money matters.

However, calling for people to be fired is inherently rude and extreme and for that sentence that post should be deleted.

Are there any updates on when we can expect to reincarnate? I convinced several folks who went away from the game to log on and play this weekend, but now we won't be able to play together due to not being able to reincarnate...

We are currently working toward a Noon downtime for a hotfix, formal messaging incoming shortly.

Perfect! Thanks for the quick fix/response. Looking forward to trying out the Dark Apostate Necromancer!

[Seydlitz]

I might have missed this, but does anyone know why the only cleric I can create on HC server is a Dark Apostate - doesn't matter which option I choose... I get a damned Dark Apostate

God, I hate this update!!!!

Thanks!!

Praying for a fix so my tr cache isnt magically taking my stuff back all the time :-)

[Cadveen]

I recommend putting Otto's boxes on the DDO store this week with a discount as a show of good faith to the player base. I know many will appreciate it!

That's odd - what race are you picking? It seems to work normally for me:
