https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/459462-Update-25-Patch-2-Hotfix

"We have been investigating reports of strange ladder and platform behavior since today's release of Update 25 Patch 2, and have identified the issue. We are working to get out a hotfix to address the problem, which appears to have been caused by a build issue. Stay tuned for more information about downtime, which could happen as soon as tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Additionally, we plan to bring Ghallanda down starting at 5:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) on Wednesday (tomorrow) to conduct hardware maintenance work in an effort to resolve recent issues on the server.

We have identified several quests and public areas that have been affected:

Raids:

Vault of Night 5 & 6 - The spawning ladder is not spawning in part 5, and there are missing "bases" on part 6. Part 5 can be worked around (mostly), but Part 6 is currently not able to be completed, so until this fix is in place we would recommend not running the Vault of Night raids.

Quests:

The Snitch - Missing ladder, can be overcome with a high enough jump score after using the valve.
Miller's Debt - Missing ladders
A Study In Sable - Missing ladder, cannot complete an optional objective
Tomb of the Shadow Lord - Missing ladder
Venn's Trail: Clan Tunnelworm (Waterworks part 3) - Missing ladder
The Dreaming Dark - Missing building

Public Areas:

House Kundarak - Missing ladder
Three Barrel Cove public area - Missing buildings
Crystal Cove public area - Missing buildings

Wilderness Zones:

Tangleroot - Missing building"

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

How to say something whilst saying nothing at all.

They took it down for an extra two hours yesterday, and a few hours on Friday.

What he should be saying is, "We're taking Ghallanda down to pound it with a rubber mallet because we have no effing idea wtf is wrong it.  We will continue to remain cool, calm and collected in the hopes you mistake this as a professionally run operation. 
Your Gaming, Video Production and IT gurus.
Turdbine
"   Cool

Seriously, can't they call a friend who knows more about server maintenance than turning it on and off?

I assumed they leased the hardware - in which case the data centre provider would have swapped servers out by now surely.  So it must be their own gear - don't they have some backup gear/spare capacity on some other boards while they sort the bug out?

Alright, I knew that 18 Barb/1 Cleric/1 Wizard build I saw was bad news.
Delete that bad build and get on with the show.....

The problem is that they can't really turn it off... It's probably a virtualized server on a blade cluster... shared with all the other servers...
So they turn off the world, but the whole fucking cluster is still up, and unless they have a virtualizer that can affect hardware to specific virtual machines, hunting down an eventual hardware issue is pointless. ( on the other hand if they can affect hard to a specific virtual machine, and if they did tracking down faulty hard is easier )

To add insult to the injury... there's several kind of hosting operations... It ranges from you lease everything and don't care about the hard, the hosting company handle all the hassle and has a clause to keep it up to date with SLA for repair time, performances and so on to the basic : we rent you x square meters with y Amps in redundant, permanent power in a data room, you do as you wish in that space.
If they chose the first one, PNAP is probably starting to cringe, as it's going to cost them some money in penalties.
If they chose the second option... Well, it sucks for Turbine.

This might be the least idiotic suggestion of the day. It also might be the prelude to a server war.  Smiley

The best move would be to merge it with Thelanis... all those early ship jumper from Europe getting back their old toons finally...
It might even bring back a few people.

No worries, they have a plan to get everyone off of G-land and on to other servers.  It is currently being executed at  $20 per character moved.  Why do server consolidation for free when they can get paid for it?

The only question is, which server will have 'mysterious problems' next, once G-land is empty?  Cheesy

K-Town obviously.

I should probably start testing somewhere where odd activities is not only NOT frowned upon, but encouraged...like Gayfinder!

How the hell do you figure that.   It's just people sitting down on the levers and piking the remainder of part 5.

Hardly and exploit ... *Sheesh*   Some peoples kids.

Yes. We PM Cordo to Epoch. PMing Epoch to Epoch is too meta.
