Y'know, that bug may have been what was fucking up "20th" completions behind the scenes... maybe not, but certainly possible.

Caught in the Web : Heroic: 7 / Epic : 15

Menace of the Underdark: The Queen of the Demonweb : Heroic: 9 / Epic : 0
Menace of the Underdark: City of Portals : Heroic: 10 / Epic : 0
Menace of the Underdark: The Darkening : Heroic: 5 / Epic : 0

*sigh*

Anyone want to do 5 CitWs to see if I get another 20th?

Turbine needs to hire a god damned UI developer and fire the lazy devs.  The command line output formatting looks like shit.  Build a fucking UI window for command line output already.

They are in the DOS stadium right now. And you basically want them to upgrade to some kind of Norton Commander interface? Pheew, that's top-notch technology, I don't know if it's possible to have such a sophisticated within the 3D environment of a graphic-heavy program. Besides, it will cost money to hire able developers.

But once they're at it, can we have some tables that list DCs, spellpower, and other useful stuff? Without mouse-overs?  Grin Just kidding!

I think they messed VON also...
It shows 1 Epic and 43 Heroic on my main rogue... it's the reverse.

It is really silly how you cannot see quest completions in a proper UI.  I have no idea how they thought there was a 'heroic' version of MoTU, though...

Pure laziness.

Don't worry. When they fix it, anyone who got a second 20th (40th, 60th, etc) completion in this manner will have their totals reset to -1 quest completions. Due to an error in the way that quest completions scripting handles negative values, all subsequent completions will fail to increment the counter in either direction.

Unfortunately for those people with <20 completions of both heroic and epic, the same thing will happen once they reach 20 more completions on either difficulty. This may be fixed in a future update, after six months or so.

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

This is classic.  I keep expecting them to get tired of looking like idiots and be more careful in what they put out.  I don't know why I keep expecting that, since experience shows they do not feel that way.  Maybe it's because it seems like reasonable behavior.

Hi, Welcome!

The developers are incapable of remorse or shame.

They know that sloppy work is acceptable and so they release sloppy work. 

"Just barely not broken enough to avoid getting fired today" gets the same paycheck as "Remarkably insightful!  This addresses current AND anticipated needs in an elegant, low-maintenance, and sustainable manner!".

Previous work has ZERO value, be that work done by previous developers or effort invested by the players.

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.

This is absolutely not true.

The developers that produce the second description get laid off.

This is kind of old news, but hell.. game is down at the moment so I'll have my whine (anyone got some cheese to spare?)

Not in patch notes, but 'fixed' nonetheless:

- Characters below level 20 can no longer enter epic quests.

Actually, this might have been part of u19 rather than part of patch one -- not sure cause i only hit 17 on my TR after patch 1 came out.

Anyways, I quite enjoyed that particular 'feature' and sad to see it go. Strangely enough my first reaction after confirming the fix was to visit account services and cancel the VIP subscription on my alt account. woot....

Oh well, at least we can still enjoy our twists until they fix that too.

It was a part of U19...

Additionally, you can no longer an epic quest unless all the people in your group qualify to enter as well;  no more party chat with lowbie friends while you farm ev3, I guess.

This is the part that pisses me off.  Way to segregate your player base even more Turbine.

I don't think it blocks you from joining after they are in the quest tho.  I might have locked some of my guildies into von3 epic right after the update, when they'd invited me to the party on a lowbie mule character.

And LVL 20 characters can't enter Epic quests either... You have to be LVL 21.
Or did they fix it and now LVL 20 can come back and join the Epic parties ?

The same thing happens with hierlings. Summon a sub-20 hierling in an epic dungeon and no one else in party can enter. It seems to correct itself if you dismiss the non-epic party member, though.
