The DDO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, July 21st from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) for an update to the game. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

Notes:

Enhancements:

The Artificer's Arcanotechnician's Arcane Mechanism now works correctly.
The Arcanotechnician's Automated Repairs now works more reliably.
The Ranger Deepwood Stalker's Merciful Shot should now use Ranged Power instead of Melee Power.


Items:

Combat Mastery now functions correctly.
Spell Focus now properly adds to all DC schools.
Deception's tooltip now displays properly.
The Epic Riftmaker's force damage and glow now functions.


Quests and Adventure Areas:

Haunted Halls of Eveningstar - Implemented changes that should help us identify a cause for why the doppleganger fight sometimes fails to function correctly. This may also reduce the number of times this issue may occur.
What Goes Up - Created a workaround for an issue that could prevent some players from repeating the quest. Affected players should now speak with Sherrod, then speak with Kara Patwin, the Heroic Arc-giver for the Stormhorns, and follow the prompts to repair What Goes Up. Taking an arc reward from the Heroic Stormhorns Arc should allow Sherrod to speak with them again. If this workaround does not resolve your issue, please submit a bug report through ddobugs.turbine.com so we can identify further fixes.

No. This was the rumored expansion.
  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

Good grief Meat, you're hopeless. You would label the simple act of taking a shit as someone obeying the divine law of nature to leave a proof of existence.

Just think if they actually did the updates right, they wouldn't have to spend all this time fixing previous updates. And we might have gotten an actual update.

Plot twist: this is a patch that was ready ages ago and is now being used as cover to calm all the doomsayers and pretend they're still working on the game.

This.

Fixing bugs is about all I care about, I'm not buying anything until they make a serious and sustained effort to improve quality. Fixing old bugs without adding new bugs is the fastest way to get people like me spending again. This sounds like their best update in years.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Call it was it is. If they did it right to begin with they wouldn't have to fix them.

Naw they did that when they posted about discussing possibly having another expansion over a year away.

Wow, that sure is surprising. I wish I could use Turbine's time machine to test out that theory. For some unknown reason, they've selfishly decided not to alter history, though. The fuckers.

no one knows.  However, they did manage to break their Hotfix numbering scheme.  Apparently this is now update 4.

No no, the correct question is:  What stealth nerf did they implement to keep Shiradi from being so gosh-darn powerful?
  

No, let me be Frank.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.
