Downtime Notice: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) Thursday, August 20th

The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, August 20th from 8:00 - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for a hotfix. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

Here are the Release Notes for the Update 27 Patch 1 Hotfix:

News and Notes:

Combat
• Melee and Ranged Power now work properly when they are brought into negative numbers. For example, -50 Melee Power now means you deal 100/150, or 2/3rd, or 66% less damage based on our standard Negative Melee Power formula of 100 / (100 - Power). -100 Melee Power means you deal half damage, etc.


Enhancements
• Fixed an issue that caused the Warlock Soul Eater's Strickened Soul enhancement reduce Melee, Ranged, and Spell Power by far more than described.
• Soul Eater's Inhuman Nature now increases Consume and Stricken damage by the proper amount.


Hirelings
• Artificer Iron Defenders, Druid Wolf Companions, Onyx Panthers and Owlbear Defenders have been ordered to end their "we won't attack anything" strike.


Items
• Fixed an issue that could cause characters to get multiple copies of certain effects, causing "lag" when that character was examined.


Quests and Adventure Areas
• Trials of the Archons
   o Defiler of the Just
      - The layout of the raid area has been significantly adjusted.
      - Abishai Executioners now have a smaller enemy detection area.

   o Demon Assault
      - Kerchac will no longer teleport.
      - Kerchac will no longer knock players out of the Boss area.
      - Players will no longer be able to get stuck between the gate and the teleport portal near the end boss.

Nvm, thought there for a moment they were fixing devils assault 2ed boss teleportation.

I guess they need more time for that.

Can we safely assume that this change wasn't to the benefit of players?
At a guess, they've made so you can't pin the Eudoxia in?

Has anyone been able to play the raid since the no-so-hotfux?

Nobody is running that raid anymore.

Stop wasting "monkey time" with that garbage.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Ran it yesterday frequently (token farming) and he didn't teleport more than 2-3 times just a few feet away.
Since it's turbine, it's must be an unwanted side effect.

That used to be fixed with a couple throws of mass invis. Most times 1 cast would be all that was needed. Broken script that just needed a helping hand sometimes.

Did you hear about the rumor about a meteor that will hit Earth in September?  Smiley

Quote:
When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

As a side effects, Tome bonuses are lost. I hope that will be fixed, but just in case, don't login with your main toon just in case the Tome lost is permanent : (

Wait what? I have 10 fucking toons and everyone of them has +4 tome bonus on EVERY ability and skill, +5  to +7 on important ones. So I will sort stuff on my mules or what? Fuck this.. seems like my lady gets all my attention tonight.

That would be a funny conversation with a GM: Please hand over 250+ tomes and no, I didn't got one from the store ever. Thank you!

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.
