Quest Closures

At the end of the U51 release notes:

The following quests and raids have been temporarily closed due to a monster statting bug, and we expect to reopen the following quest packs and raids in a patch in the near future:

The Phiarlan Carnival
The Sands of Menectarun
Sentinels of Stormreach
Vault of Night: VoNs 5 and 6 (raid)
The Chronoscope (raid)

So that probably means they'll be permanently broken in some ways after they are "patched".

Maybe they'll get opened in a good way? Be nice if we got something good out of this cluster-fuck.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Beyond this fuckery. I am fully expecting the most Epic (pun intended) dumptruck load of new bugs that any DDO update has ever seen. It will take months of clean up. Not even joking.

Yet another example of Stupidly Substandard Games pushing out an update that’s nowhere close to being ready to go.

I think my favorite part about when SSG finally goes under will be that odds are super high that no other game studio will be stupid or desperate enough to hire any of those dumbfuck halfwits…especially that utter fail of a community manager, and that crackhead of an executive producer.

this guy is banned.  I wonder what he said.  We need some archive of the mainboards that grabs every post every second.  Then we can go back and see what insane shit they nuke from orbit.

Kind of got to lol at having to log in, log out, log back in to get your cloaks and tomes. I guess the augment slot update should have told us that would happen.......

I used to joke that they fuck up everything more complicated than an if statement.

I'm not entirely sure that I wasn't giving them too much credit for being able to code an if statement.

For those of you interested in the software arts, perhaps even UI design, here are a few points to take away:

1. Let your user look at other destinies, even if they have points spent in 3.

2. Put the mantles and epic strikes in the same columns from tree to tree.

3. Clearly label the epic strikes that share cooldowns with other epic strikes.

Rational game design has no place in DDO.

I don't think anyone "doesn't like change because its change". I think we are all pretty well agreed that we don't like change because the changes are SHIT.

I won't say SSG has never made any positive changes; but this change is definitely shit.

Is the Epic version of Zawabi's also removed or am I just missing something. Worked just fine a few days ago but today when I attempt to run it I can only select the heroic version.

The sands quests are closed and listed but not the raid. The Zawabi's Revenge heroic raid is working as normal, the epic version is not. Neither raid is listed along with the other quests and raids that have been removed.

Neither raid requires that you run the pre-raid anymore so you no longer need access to the quests in the wilderness area at all.

So wait did they drop the flagging from the raid?

Well my cleric is healing herself for full hp (2400) every 2 seconds now with the EA mantle. So I guess its not all bad.
Probably get nerfed.


But will they nerf it faster or slower than they nerfed horses? Place your bets, folks!

I did end up with some better self-healing options on my sorc. But I will miss having an AOE effect I can set off to blow up everything around me.
