Prioritization for such things that I've been involved with has been real easy. Two numbers on a 1-10 scale.

(Probability of issue) * (Impact of issue on customers) = Priority (subjective)

I figure this one is a (10) * (1) = 10, but of course everyone is going to see it differently.  Considering there are bugs in DDO that are easily in the 50's, I guess it comes down to time available - the dev thinks he (or she) can do it in a certain time, so are there any issues with similar time requirements to fix?  I'm guessing the easy fruit has been picked.

EDIT: I guess I should change that to, "... issues with similar time requirements in the dev's area of expertise..."

Lost thread but it's set very very low on the dc scale so that anyone can find it.

Oh right, that's the one where the door is visibly ajar, and the DM says "hey moron, go check for secret doors over there."

For some reason I wasn't thinking of that as a "secret" door. Go figure.

That just means it will be extra broken when the dc formula bugs out to being
newdc=olddc * sqroot(olddc)

The first time I tried to do Information Is Key, I searched for a secret door all over the fucking place.  When the quest tells you that the door is hidden, that sounds like a secret door, right?

Fucking lever behind some barrels doesn't show up when you search for secret doors for a solid half hour...

Plus some quests that absolutely no one ever bothers with, like The Keeper's Sanctuary. Which has multiple, mandatory secret doors.

You're not missing anything. The quest is hot garbage.

Good point with Claw, though. And Tower of Despair, as you noted on the other forums. If either of those will end up above a 30 DC (or whatever TS/DSD give), then that's a problem.

I stand corrected.  There are a very few of them out there.  Inferno of the Damned is probably another.

Another possible outcome that will happen;

Players can't find secret doors, they will just run past them.

All of the monsters behind the secret doors will auto-aggro you.  Surprise!!!

Dungeon Alert will begin.  Green.  Yellow!!  RED!!!!!!

Window pops up on how you can buy a secret door detection wand from the DDO store to alleviate Dungeon Alert.

Players continue to ignore the message and players just play with red dungeon alert on in all quests, until the frustration of the constant annoyance settles in, then rage quits happen.

The Secret Door Detection Wands will then be said that it lowers the amount of lag in the game, just like Dungeon Alert does and just like having Baudry's closed lessens lag.

They were on to something with their recent bug that allowed fast detection and fast disabling.

One of the reasons people run through traps or would rather True See secret doors or Knock doors is that it can be done instantly.

Waiting 20 seconds for a rogue to find a trap and disable it is annoying as fuck.

Scale up the speed of this as the rogue gains levels.  At cap, detection of traps/SDs, opening locks, or disabling traps should be instantaneous, or even automatic, i.e. a Capped rogue could auto spot/disable traps... make it a new ED power if they think that is slightly too OP.

if some idjit was dumb enough to make a mechanic rogue, then their speed could scale faster.

Guess I need to put points back into search on my rogues.

Some of the doors have overtuned DC's.  My jug couldn't find the secret on Epic Hard in Friends in Low Places.
