Here are the release notes for Update 55.3, released on Wednesday, July 27th, 2022.

News and Notes:
Bug Fixes:
Corrected an issue that could cause "Skeletons in the Closet" to not be able to be completed. The raid is now open!
Fear Reapers no longer trigger their damage over time effect after they have died.
Whirling Wrists in Shiradi is now properly one Action Point per rank.
Panacea Poultice in Apothecary can now be cast when targetting an undead friend.
Vile Chemist's Defensive Roll now functions.
Primal Avatar's Thorn spells are now properly considered poison spells.
Tabaxi and Tabaxi Trailblazer now have their correct icons for their enhancement trees.
Potentially fixed a bug that prevents movement upon finishing loading into the game. Let us know if you are still affected by this bug.
The missing Filigree from Sharn have been found!
Greater Shout can now be used with appropriate Metamagics.
Draconic Incarnations Core abilities now require you to take them in order.
Axiom of Faith in Divine Crusader no longer requires proficiency.
Shadowdancer's Depths of Darkness now explains that it won't stack with other Alternate Forms.
The Brighthorn augment now correctly works on ranged attacks.
Shields are no longer erroneously able to be placed inside of Cosmetic Weapon Aura kits, as they do not actually allow their models to be changed.
Legendary Dreadnought's 4th Core should now grant its Melee and Ranged Power.
Majesty in Fatesinger now restores Charisma damage again.
Legendary Greensteel augments display again!
Legendary Characters now display their XP reports in challenges correctly.
Flawless Siberys Dragonshards now have proper tooltips.
Players on mounts no longer randomly T-Pose.
Level 31 and 32 accessories now properly appear in-game.
A large number of typos and text fixes have been made.
Skeletons in the Closet raid enemies are now in their appropriate Monster Manuals.
Gameplay Changes:
Potions of Sovereign Healing can now be used while moving.
You can now apply the Legendary Dread Isle's Curse set to your Dinosaur Bone crafted equipment via a new Isle of Dread Set Augment.
Quarterstaff bonus effects from Dinosaur Bone Crafting now automatically apply implement bonuses to your quarterstaff.
Bonuses to ability scores from Dinosaur Bone Crafting are now increased while slotted into a Minor Artifact.
UI Changes:
Wishes of Racial Memories now have warnings about when to use them appropriately.
Known Issues:
Isle of Dread: The Dark Secret that appears in "Hail to the King" is a relic of the development process, and is not supposed to be in the game, which is why it has no dialogue. It will be removed in the next patch.

No more post-death Fear dots? If true, that's nice!

Not quite sure what this means.

Minor Artifact Dino items were already actually adding +15 stat instead of 14 like they were labeled. Is this just a backward way to fix text to what was actually happening?

Looks like just a text fix. But it still counts.
  

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.

Hardcore Vendor Temporarily Disabled
Wed, 27 Jul 2022 18:16:40 +0000
The Hardcore Vendor has been re-enabled. We shut the vendor off temporarily while investigating the following issue, which will be fixed in the near future:

Players who have acquired the Fire Reaper Wings from Reaper experience are erroneously acquiring the new Hardcore server Fae Hunter's Wings reward. These players will have this erroneous reward removed in the near future.

The 6th Season of the Hardcore League is now underway!

I have been enjoying the bitching about the Hardcore Hunting Hounds on the DDO Forums, though.

Their tears are quite delicious!

Everyone who has a bad time on HCL deserves it.

That one is a mystery. Why was it locked instead of deleted if there was something objectionable about the post?

Your guess is as good as mine.

My hardcore experience:

Logged in, rolled a toon.
Watched 50 people levels 2-9 die in the time it took to run the intro quest.
Skipped though lag so bad through Korthos and the Harbor it looked like a 90s rave.
Park the toon till it's over to collect the bonus XP pots.
Done.

I can't share my hardcore experience in polite company, my girlfriend would be pissed.

I was thinking that maybe there was an incendiary post below it that Cordo deleted and he decided just to lock the thread before things got out of hand?

Usually when he does that he shits out a short message to that effect. Seems strange he'd lock a thread with no explanation, dude loves to hear himself talk.

This exactly. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

In other news, there's not a single thing in the patch which affects me at all. I guess if I ever go back to running R1s, the Fear Reaper fix would be nice... even if that should've been fixed years ago, when Reaper Retardation was first introduced to the game, but whatever.

The game has A LOT of bugs that should never have made it past alpha testing.
