Downtime Notice: Thursday, July 25th 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT)

Mobius

I see what you did there
The red flag to me was the 1 hour downtime window. The routine weekly server restarts can't be accomplished in a 1 hour timeframe, so the extension of today's window was predictable.

When I transferred to Orien most of my Monster Manual was bugged, in that first off, account entries were reset to zero - so they were not actually account entries at all, but server entries. Annoying, but I could just farm them again... NOT. Most of the entries do not give lore/graphics/pets etc... and most importantly, no monster HP view. Not even after regrinding all the kills.

A year hasn't been enough for this "long term" fix to come about... but I Want To Believe!!

Edit: I have a thread about this bug, but I have probably made too much of a nuisance of myself, because the devs are ignoring it.. and me. But I shall becer give up!
i thought you lose MM accomplishments when you transfer, and the first time rewards cant be re earned, since you already earned them a first time?

was under the impression that is one of the big deterrents of transfering?

was there a bug, or did you just not realize the game policy?(not at all being trying to be sarcastic...i might have misunderstood something along the way)

It's a bug. I transferred from Khyber to Argo and can fully earn my monster manual stuff on there because I didn't bug. If I had bugged, I would have no way to unlock the monster's HP bar details and other stuff on Argo; because the game would show complete but also not provide the benefits of having completed them.

I can't unlock HP view or art or lore, either.

And the "account" deeds are falsely labeled, but I could live with that - if I could reearn the above.

hmmm, i have thought of moving my main often but was always disouraged because i thought i would lose all my MM rewards and not be able to earn them back(thats literally the thing that stopped me :)...i thought it was on the faq's about transfering...my bad, not sure where i got that idea from?

i can understand a player being fustrated by this, i would be if i transfered and wasnt expecting it...

I just googled and reread the world transfer guide, I see no mention the Monster Manual there.

It's busier, easier to fill in parties. But a lot of names are still just random strangers; on Khyber I knew a lot of people from my years spent pugging.

I'm usually not to apposed to maintenance as it's usually "needed" to keep the game "fresh".
I don't know about you, but DDO of late seems to have that "not so fresh" feeling. If they're doing back-end work to make things better performance wise, I can suffer a bit for that. Murphy's Law seems to be in full effect of late for all things maintenance with DDO unfortunately. :confused:

Yeah I feel you and I havn't had the worst experience with things like bugs and lag, plus I'm on sick leave and can play anytime for the moment so the downtimes havn't been the worst either.

With that said, if they would have been more fourthcoming about why they need to shut the game down and why they needed extra time it would have helped themselves to not get so many negative remarks and ppl quitting (if they actually do that). I don't expect them to get all siency and explain in detail but they could be more open with it imo.

Also if they did some more work to get rid of lag and fix bugs and said something like: We're doing some work that might eleviate some lag or fix some bugs without going into specifics it'd be nice enough. I mean not all bug fixes need a release note attached to the work or it can be added after if they actually fixed some.
