"The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, January 28th from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) for an update to the game. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!"

Anyone know why?

Pretty sure they are updating Lag so everyone not on G-Land gets to enjoy it as well.

29.2

Recheck the thread. Cordo posted again with the reason.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I wonder what he means by polishing the new loot? It's probably to much to hope they give some decent patch notes.

No. They just keep updating, anyway.

Nope, named loot is over performing so they thought to fix things making random better.

It's my understanding that they want to fix the naming on the loot, for one thing.  You can get items where the prefix or suffix doesn't show at all.  That's not WAI.  Not sure about what else.

Didn't they put in a system whereby they can retroactively change loot properties? Figuring we'll see some fuckery with that.

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,

I wouldn't trust that fatass to write an honest post any more than certain other posters. "bug fixes" and "some polish" could mean anything on a wide spectrum from correcting the stupid fucking spelling mistakes to removing 1[W] off each and every item, and no doubt given turbine if they try to do one they'll end up doing the other out of sheer incompetence.

Always expect the worst, especially when we are talking about Turdbin.

Thanks for being patient. We're finally fixing this so that ingredient stacks always won't go in bags.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things.

Other companies will settle for shitting out garbage, Turdbin actually prefers to. Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up.

Breaking something and putting it back together isn't as good as not breaking it to begin with, it's not even close.

Devs do not care what players want - they already have an agenda and give out token gestures so the paladins can feel worthy.

The DDO devs aren't motivated by a positive user experience.
