80 Years?????

[Biggdaddy]

Freshly re-treaded, Level 2 running slays in Korthos. Looted a rare chest and noticed the Ransack blurb in the chat window.

(Loot): Chest Information:
Quest Name: Korthos Island
Number of Times Looted: 1
Chest Ransack Resets In: 80 years 9 months 1 day 6 hours 12 minutes 57 seconds

80 years is a bit long to clear the ransack. I won't even be around in 80 years! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Not with that attitude!

Probably a leak for a futur update for rare loots mechanic

This message occurs mostly in chests that are just there to drop a quest item that some build needs. I noticed it for the first time in the chest that drops the longbow and arrows in TTT.

Well count back to day 1 of DDO. The chests that were mandatory (keys to open next part of dungeon; item needed to complete the quest) were given a Ransack date of 99 years in the future: 1 setting for all those chests and never look at it again. If they had set it at 9 years they would have had to reset it already twice.
This way all chests get a ransack timer but the mandatary ones don't need updates.
A nice way of solving a standard problem 'permanently'.
better than the Y2K setting: "we will never need a number bigger than 1999" ... lol

That makes sense for those chests, but this was a regular rare chest in the wilderness (the mephit, I think)

I can take a little responsibility for that, I started writing COBOL code in the '70's. Then in '98-99, I made some serious coin fixing some of that code.

Don't worry, the bugs will be. I'm expecting U37 fixes around Spring 2107, so that one may be done a few years earlier.

Your head in a jar up on the shelf can smile and nod happily as that final TR gets initiated, and your grandkid is able to loot the chest one more time.
