Read by a dev. Really though, I didn't know there were issues with the 20th completion list. The only thing I had heard about previously was empty chests. Now that I am aware of a problem with 20th completion lists as well, I'll see if I can take a look into it on Monday. Thanks for bringing this up.

Only took dozens of threads, bug reports, PMs to Turbine staff, etc.

He/She/it replied again

Sounds like there's already a bug in on this and someone is looking into it, then. Forget what I said, too many cooks spoils the soup and all that. I'll just echo Phax's previous words, then: We'll keep investigating until we get to the bottom of this issue, though there's no way to know when that'll be.

Yeah the rest of us didn't know.
Baloney. This has been being worked on for months.
Big team, maybe some people don't know everything. Devs have a very myopic view of their little kingdoms.

To be totally fair, FoS is new to the team - s/he only joined in January, iirc.

And s/he admitted later that the bug was known, just not by her/him.

Oh yeah, you can tell he's new by the fact he's attempting to communicate with the playerbase.

We ran normal and were not skunked for a change. New lfms "normal for base items as h/e bugged" works well. LotD, Wretched, and that intim ring.  Running normal for while may actually get people base items for once.

I love that you're slick enough that this is the first time you've even openly admitted that you're a Dev. 

Anyone with half a brain already figured out this was a case of severe noobitis, but it's still awesome to hear it from you directly.  As blank said - srsly.

Yeah, s/he's new, I can't be surprised really.  It is nice to hear that when they started chatting with their coworkers about it, they did indeed get a "already on it".

Also, nice that MadFloyd at least things he's fixed the Abbot chest itself.  Now if only they'd add like, two or three other "trash loot" chests in there for funsies. 

It's annoying after waiting an hour to fill, and another hour and a half to fail/reform/redo/fail/reform/redo, to roll off a Litany, and have... nothing to come out of the quest.  I get some junky end reward that doesn't even cover the repair bill + scrolls used.

But yeah, give FoS a break, or maybe they'll be the next Dev to stop talking to us.

Wow, like for realz? /puke

Ive been on hold for another 20th for a while waiting for this shit to get fixed, I am at almost 200 runs on Lornne, and still no fucking litany and they just now after all this time havent figured this shit out?

Thank you for sharing this bitterness with me.  That's some hilarious shit, and I'd have been sad if that little pussy had been able to tuck his tail between his legs and edited out his piss-weak attempt at an insult without anyone catching him. 

Anyway, I don't really care much about the distinction, and that obviously goes triple while I'm drunk off of my ass, like I might be at 3 AM on a Sunday morning after a drunken raid night.  You know, for instance. 

QA is technically separate from the Development team, though.  My bad.  Congratulations, Arkat, you caught me making a mistake.  Now what? 

Oh snap Oak, making mistakes.  That is what you get for being a quitter.

It was a silly post which is why I deleted it.

But since Nevynn was quick with the Quote button, I'll go ahead and address your stupidity again. I doubt it was a mistake Oak. TONS of people don't know the difference and you were one of them.

So MajMalphunktion has the same skillset as Eladrin?

Really?

They have to have programming skills and familiarity with the programming systems in use. They generally all have CS/CE degrees. So, unless I am missing something, yes.

I just looked up a QA position with Turbine, with console games, and it requires programming skills.  You probably should have looked that up before you opened your fat fucking mouth.

That will be 5500 tp.

I know enough about software development that I didn't have to look up that developers and QA are different groups.  I'm more than willing to cop to having made a mistake when I've made one, but that just wasn't a mistake that I made.  I know the difference, but I was lumping them together, mostly because Turbine does it themselves - the Dev tracker links to Maj's posts.

Arkat, you really are trying way too hard right now. You were completely wrong. Deal with it.

There's a product all the nursing homes use called "magic butt cream."  No lie, that's it's actual name.  I think DDO should buy some stock in it.  It's just what we need for the rampant butthurt.   ;)

I'm not saying I wasn't wrong Grace.

I'm saying stainer didn't know for sure either considering he looked up exactly what skillsets a QA person for Turbine might have to have after he said they had the same skillsets as Devs.

My point is, he shouldn't throw stones. He could have easily been just as wrong as I.

Unfortunately for me, stainer was correct regarding the QA Engineer skillsets (I just looked them up myself).

He looked it up to double check his understanding and then show you, just like anyone does when they have someone yelling "ur wrong!" Forget being wrong before; you're wrong now.

Yeah, I was being a bit childish. I edited my post. Thanks for pointing out the absurdity of my behavior.

Speaking of behavior, after some self-relection, I realized that, at times, it's been pretty shitty especially over the last few months. I will be making a post about it in the next day or two.

I also said I never actually wanted to be an attorney...multiple times.

BTW...I could have passed the Bar if I wanted to. Pennsylvania's and New Jersey's Bar exams are notoriously easy. I graduated in the middle of my Law School class (2.714 GPA), I was a National Merit Scholar Honorable Mention, I'm a Mensan and I'm also eligible for the Triple Nine Society. I've passed MANY written exams like the LSAT, GRE, FAA Flight exams, AFOQT (90% or better in all 5 areas which were some of the highest scores my AFROTC Detachment had EVER seen), multiple IT certification exams, all written exams in UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) with a 90% or better, including maxxing out the Emergency Procedures and Flight Physiology written tests. I also passed the written FBI exam and the FBI background check for entrance into the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA.

So no, I have no trouble passing exams.

Which totally explains spending all that time and money on law school and why you bring it up in any argument that remotely applies.  It's OK man.  We understand.  You are bright enough to make it through just not bright enough to pass the bar.  It's a big accomplishment just finishing law school.  We are all very proud of you.

This is the most hilarious bragging paragraph ever, especially since it starts off with the 'brag' about being in the middle of his class.  Oh God, it's beautiful.

Now I can't wait for Arkat's post in a day or two.  You know, when he gets it together.  It's not the sort of thing you can just post off the cuff.

I just wanted to bump this thread to the top so that everyone could be reminded of what a tremendous doucher Arkat is.  Maybe he could add that to his list of accomplishments (which include graduating from law school and being invited to Crush It!).

Most of us probably had to learn how to spell through grades 1-12 and still generally spell things correctly out of habit. I can't speak for everyone here but I know I do little self-grammar proofing. It certainly is not time consuming. I didn't see my first spell checker until...WordPerfect...did that have a spell check function?

I joined Mensa at one point.  Mostly just to see if I could.  I didn't renew or whatever.

Of course, I'd probably take the bar after going to law school, too.  I like taking tests just to see how I do.  I added 3 areas of certification to my teaching certificate after I was initially certified in math just because I liked the idea of being able to teach more areas even though I knew it was unlikely that I would end up doing so.

I turned down the once acceptance I got. (it was a wait list anyway...apparently med schools want to see actual shadowing experience) Oh, and I got a 10/10/10 for a 30 total if anyone cared. Not fantastic but definitely not bad for not really studying at all.

Well, I'm sure it'll all be over at the big announcement, at least.  I'm sure it won't be an embarrassing display of what a tool Arkat is and how much he still doesn't even get what he did wrong.

Mensa?? OMG. Every single person I've known or known of that has joined Mensa was a huge insecurity black hole wrapped up in overcompensating assholish ego. Why else would anyone join an organization whose sole purpose is to gather together a bunch of high IQs? I have a super high IQ too, and guess what? It means nothing at all. IQ is no predicator of anything at all and is more a result of high socioeconomic status and education than anything else. So, congrats for not being born dirt poor and disadvantaged. We're all very proud.

I can't wait to be old enough to eat dinner at 4PM and then be in bed by 8.  I hate people, so it sounds perfect. 

As ashamed as I am to admit it, I go to VI every Wednesday for my free slice of pie with any purchase. If I go directly after work (arriving about 5:45pm) the average age of the patrons is 65+. Also, I'm starting to recognize the people who are there every week.  The customers, not the wait staff. The wait staff already knows me, and knows what I order every week. :-[  :-[  :-[

You can white knight my decision to shake my rake at a guy who was speeding down my street and to shout at the top of my lungs to "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD!" about 3.5 years ago right after I bought my house.

To clarify, I was actually raking in the front yard, I don't just keep a rake handy by the door to shake at people when they speed down my street.

Really it is mincing words. They have the same skill set. This is redonc.

Usually - not always, but usually - the folks in QA are the ones that can't cut the mustard as a programmer.  When a programmer drops out, they go to QA since whatever programming skills they did pick up is usually enough to create test cases.  That doesn't mean they're shit, it just means they weren't cut out for coding. 

They won't have the same skill sets, though they will be similar.

As well it should. The only thing that works is vancomycin and there's emerging resistance to that, too.

I blame both the overuse of antibiotics and the habitual use of single-antibiotic only treatments. Gotta hit that shit with 2 or 3 to make sure you're not just selecting for resistance...a bit too late now. There are new classes of drugs in the works. If we can't stay ahead of the pathogens we'll be reduced to trying to pray infections away like in the bad old days.

My dad got a MRSA infection in his shoulder a little over a year ago. Took months before they even found something that worked on it, had to ship some cutting edge concoction in from europe. Damn near killed him and permanently destroyed his shoulder.

Yeah, while my hubby was on an underway last year, he emails me and says "I'm in sick bay, may have MRSA. How are you?!"

What the hell did I accidentally stumble across?

When I was thirteen, okay to be honest it was 3 days before my 13th birthday, I was Bar Mitzvah.

I convinced the bartender that I was now a man and could, and rightly should, drink 13 white wines (yes by Maneschewitz) during the reception at the Social Room of the synogogue.

Long story, short, I was carried out on the shoulder of the photographer who was a family friend and driven home, and dumped unceremoniously into my bed until the at home reception that evening, when my mother woke me up and made me drink several glasses of water and pop a couple aspirin.

Good times...
