End of the Week with Produktion Malphunktion- Spring cleaning edition

[Produktion_Malphunktion]

Hey! Is it actually spring out there? Baseball season has begun and playoff Hockey in full swing!
Spring, time to do a little cleaning up. Cordovan is going to be updating the Known issues list removing all the things that are actually fixed.
Here is a quick look at a good chunk of bugs that will be removed from the list. All of these are fixed.

DDO: Voiceovers for DM Text in Restless Isles doesn't match, all mixed up
DDO Store: Continue shopping link takes you to the homepage
Store: Filter: Shared Bank Space offer does not filter out once purchased, allowing multiple purchases
Spells: Combat Log: When Shield Wears Off its Combat Log Text has a Typo
Maze of Madness: Monsters Aggro at hirelings through walls, and combined with mephit monster summons, lead to red dungeon alert
Small Guild Chest (estore) has incorrect permissions
Update 7 Quests: Framework: Ballistas don't seem to function properly
U8 Blockade Buster: Perpetual falling spot on the ship
Ice Festival Coins and Epic Scrolls auto grant has DNT text
U9 - In the Flesh - Some lines of DM Text do not appear during boss battle
U9 Spell Revisions: Wiz/Sorc: Create Undead: Spell has a cooldown the description doesn't mention
DDO: eStore: Players who purchase Maple Airship Interior Stain receive White version instead
Vault of Night Part 6 Needs Resurrection Shrine After Completion
No rezz shrine at the end of vault of night dragon fight.
grouping tab in social panel has no Artificer icon
U11: Per-spell metamagic toggle sometimes quickens when it shouldn't and vice versa
U13: Negative Effects don't display.
U13: Insight Bonuses do not Display in the effects channel.
DDO JBUG: Epic Destiny - Fury of the Wild: Tunnel Vision override the effects on handwraps until the handwraps are re-equipped
DDO: U18: Racial Enhancements: Halfling: Master Thrower does not function
DDO: u18: Enhancements: Kensei: CBug: One With the Blade stops functioning when players log out then back in
DDO: Exploit: Ranger: Arcane Archer: Players can stack multiple elemental arrow stances
DDO: u21: Shards for Cake: Unselecting the "Do not auto-show this in quests" box does not make the Revive for Shards automatic…?

For every good news there is some bad news right? Yeah, sorry about that.
These are some issues that are just going to remain the way they are for the time being. Never say never, but these are not on the radar anymore.

Changing sort options in a Cannith Crafting device does not reset the device recipe list's page number.

Elven Accuracy is currently described as “2% to hit with all attacks.” While it is working, it does not give feedback anywhere that it is working.

Update 8 - Blockade Buster - A player who dies in a ship explosion remains in ship while ghosted.(by design)

Male Half Elf: Facial hair options should be on a different slider than facial detail options

U7 - Summon Monster IV - Greater Ice Mephit has incorrect skin(by design)

U9 - Examination Window UI - Grease is not listed under "Your Harmful Effects" in examination window

U9: spell revisions: Grease costs too much SP-the SP is correct.

DDO: U18: Enhancements: Frenzied Berserker: Exhausting Blow cost incorrect amount of AP--AP is correct.

Summon Monster III - skin and visibility problems with creatures

Summon Monster IX - Ghaele selection window zoomed in too close

Visual effects on +1 Starter Scimitar does not disappear during emotes.

White Dragonscale robe - When wearing this item, dark-skinned female drow neck turns white

Guild Mail Invites: Players receive them when the Game Option "Accept Guild Invites" is false

DDO: JBUG: LFG icon doesnt disappear when you group

Cyclonic Blast damage numbers don't display in combat log

Death Pact debuff persists through dungeon entry, though buff does not

Any issues that are not mentioned here are still on the known issues.

So other topics:
Next Thursday you can get your first look at the new 3 Barrel Cove. Giant Airship attacks, revamped missions...come check it out.
The Lamannia Schedule will look like this - All of this of course is subject to change.

• May 9 - Epic 3 barrel cove
• May 15 Guilds! Swashbuckler!
• May 22 Guilds! Other surprises!
• May 30 (subject to change)
• June 6 (subject to change)

In the next week we will release more info on the new Guild Amenities. They are probably not what you expect.

See ya in a week! Ask any questions you want, I'll be checking in over the weekend!

Go Bruins!

[Wizza]

Alright, I'll ask: can we have a 20-30% Heroic and Epic XP bonus while sagas are down?

Nice list, most useless stuff nowdays but it's a start. Nice to see the AA exploit fixed.

And you actually used the "E" word. Shocking!

[Relem]

Excellent public relations thread. Will we be seeing an end of week report on a regular basis as this will end a lot of player speculation and help with player retention?

[Ivan_Milic]

When will you fix duping bug?

[Cardtrick]

Thanks for posting this. I'm a big fan of any developer communication.

I'm really not sure how I'm going to survive without the visual effects on the +1 Starter Scimitar displaying during emotes, though!

[Thumbed_Servant]

Hello P M (May I call you P M?).

I have a question.

As you have removed some bugs by correcting them, and others you have informed us will not be worked upon (ty for that; information is always helpful even if it is a flat "no you won't get that"): What is the status of the In-Game Bug Reporting Tool? Is it on the radar to be fixed/repaired someday? Is it not on the radar and will never be fixed/repaired?

Go Bruins!

Status updates by a dev! Makes me happy that people listened to my requests, and the requests of the other players.

Fantastic job, excellent step in the right direction to get some better communication out there.

[HAL]

Thank you for the status report.

[PermaBanned]

Cordovan is going to be updating the Known issues list removing all the things that are actually fixed.

That's cool, but will he also be adding all (or even any) of the numerous broken things not on the list?

[MindCakes]

DDO: u21: Shards for Cake: Unselecting the "Do not auto-show this in quests" box does not make the Revive for Shards automatic…?

The what?
So many negations I got lost, but the possible interpretation that there will now be automatic revive for shards (requiring some mysterious box somewhere to be selected to keep it on manual) sets my nerves on edge.

[Silverleafeon]

Thank you.

[Portalcat]

As per my thread here, when can we expect randgen loot that isn't melee weapons to get more variety?

[UurlockYgmeov]

+1. Keep up the communication. Been missing it.

Looking forward to seeing if you finished the guild system (or at least polished it for easier management / etc).

[Cordovan]

That's cool, but will he also be adding all (or even any) of the numerous broken things not on the list?

No, as stated several times in the past, the list isn't meant to be, and will never be, a full public listing of all bugs in DDO. If there's something in particular that you feel - needs - to be added to it, though, PM me and let me know. Our goal is to improve the overall accuracy of the list, and use it as both a place to call out specific bugs we no longer need bug reports on in addition to a place to put notices about things that need to be disseminated to the public (think something like a public notice board.)

[Krelar]

The what?
So many negations I got lost, but the possible interpretation that there will now be automatic revive for shards (requiring some mysterious box somewhere to be selected to keep it on manual) sets my nerves on edge.

There's already a revive for shards option. It sounds like the bug was that in some cases it would trigger automatically instead of only when you clicked it.

[mutilador]

Sagas?

[Madja]

The what?
So many negations I got lost, but the possible interpretation that there will now be automatic revive for shards (requiring some mysterious box somewhere to be selected to keep it on manual) sets my nerves on edge.

I imagine the complete sentence would probably be something like this: "DDO: u21: Shards for Cake: Unselecting the "Do not auto-show this in quests" box does not make the Revive for Shards automatically appear again."

[RedOrm]

Well, you did say any question, so here goes:

Will we ever get cov's for completing epic Demon Queen? Currently there are none, and despite many many questions, we still don't now if this is a bug, wai, or something else entirely.
Likewise, cov's for the lesser and greater epic tome of learning: XP pots, voice and ship buffs give bonus cov's as well as xp, but these significant shop-bought items do not and only give xp. Wai? Bug? Likely to be fixed? As it stands I can only advise my friends NOT to buy these making me think it can't be wai, but well who knows?
(Just realised I'm not entirely sure if the VIP xp bonus gives bonus cov's or not; if not, same question: wai/bug/fix? )

And a completely different question: any chance you'll make it so that shop-bought hair dyes and styles actually function on a shadar-kai?

Anyway, thanks for the update!

Greetz,
Red Orm

I'm angry sagas have been removed. I had many ready to turn in and my toon is suffering as a result.

I'm angry I'm being punished and meanwhile cheaters and exploiters run rampant. And I'm following all the rules and being punished for their behavior. This is terrible state of affairs.Please punish the evildoers and not the innocent.

I think you should invest significant resources to purge your game of cheaters and exploiters because they have obviously declared war on this game and wont stop until they destroy it.

[SirShen]

As per my thread here, when can we expect randgen loot that isn't melee weapons to get more variety?

This above, will Randgen loot ever be fixed? Since the change to loot i think iv not even looked at it because it all rubbish, i just take guild renown or comms.
