And a lot of waiting time. I don't know what it's doing with all that time, but it sure takes it.

It looks like it's back up (at least, it's working for me): http://ccplanner.byethost14.com/?i=1

Friday evenings seem to be a good time for that.

What you're looking for is not a system change but a social one. Good luck with that. System changes made to encourage this, such as those you suggest, would just make the divide between the long-timers and the first-lifer first-timers even greater than it is. The OP has basically been reposted...

It costs you nothing and it would vastly expand the reach of your "Service News" messages. They are relatively infrequent anyway. This would really help people know what's going to be going on. I'd venture that the vast majority of the playerbase doesn't exactly have "Service News" feeding...

You seriously could not have told us that a little sooner?

Oh right--I had forgotten about those. That does make some sense. In that case maybe a new separate version of the dummy which doesn't have that effect or perhaps changing one of the dummies in the Proving Grounds amenity to have the old behaviour would be doable.

Yeah, there are workarounds. All I'm saying is that they shouldn't be necessary. The dummies don't serve their intended purpose and never have.

Yeah, that does the trick; thanks! Should have thought of that. It would still be nice if the regular training dummies didn't go helpless after being downed once, though.

I came back a couple of months ago after several years off, and while I've mostly been playing solo, the lag really hasn't seemed that bad to me on Argo so far. Maybe it's partly because I used to run with a regular group, though. Solo, it's been mostly pretty manageable. (I mean, for DDO)...

Good to know! I guess I got lucky (I was trying to stay away from the blades though, so that probably played into it).

Ah, OK. Perhaps that is worth mentioning. Perhaps not.

I'm doing my first run through this quest on EE and it seems that the second blade trap's Control Panel is a bit high for my character (gnome). I had to jump onto the lamp to get it. The trap couldn't hit me there and I could access the panel without getting the "blocked" message. I'm not sure...

Makes it hard to get a feel for DPS when they change how they react to damage. Is there an upside to this behaviour that I'm just missing?
