DDO Module 8.2 - Known Issues

Of Special Note

  • Players have reported that they sometimes have trouble climbing up long ladders due to hitching or becoming caught in the middle of the ladder. Many of these "sticky" ladders have been fixed, but there may be other locations. If you come across a sticky ladder, please submit a bug report from the location of the ladder.
  • Be very careful when selecting end rewards if you are approaching your maximum encumbrance (the amount of weight your character can carry). Selecting an end reward while near maximum encumbrance will result in the end reward item not appearing in your inventory, and no longer being available in the end reward selection list . Be sure to reduce your encumbrance prior to selecting an end reward.


UI

  • When examining an item, the full description of effects are not shown automatically. To see description of effects, you'll need to hover over the effect name.
  • Dying just before completing a quest may cause the "Finish" button to become unclickable. Minimizing the quest objective window and then maximizing it again will fix this issue.
  • If you're already queuing to PVP using the standard match-up process, and your party chooses to use the new Group PVP functionality instead, your UI may not update to reflect the change. (i.e: It will still appear as if you're queued and waiting for a match-up)
  • The action point display icon may show an inaccurate number of action points are available for training. This is corrected on log out.
  • When leveling up a character not following a pre-generated Path, when selecting an ability stat increase (at 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th level) the summary page for your new level will incorrectly display an additional point to your chosen ability stat


Hirelings
  • When reporting issues with a Hireling, be sure to include the name of which Hireling you were using.
  • Hirelings will path to monsters across water if they think they can jump across. They aren't very good swimmers though, and if they don't make the jump, you will have to recall them to you.
  • Hirelings may have a hard time pathing to certain switches, or other interactables.
  • UPDATE:The icon used on the contract for Hireling Syllix Giantbane is incorrect. It shows that he is a cleric when he is in fact a fighter.
  • The Hireling Rage is experiencing a regenerative event loop from time to time. Ignore him. He's just angry.
  • NEW - Hireling kills do not count properly in quests after entering the quest from an adventure area with the hireling active.



Spells

  • Some AOE debuff/cc spells are listed in the tooltips as "Spell Resistance: No", even though they are resistible.
  • In some cases, a caster may incorrectly receive an error message that they are out of range or that they must face their target, even though this is not the case.
  • Casting Protection from Evil on a character, or putting on an item that bestows Protection from Evil, while having a Protection +1 item on will cause your AC to appear lower than it is


Skills, Feats, & Abilities

  • The DC listed for combat feat tooltips does not include bonuses from enhancements and feats. This is a visual glitch only; they are still being added to the actual DC in combat.
  • Spell resistance provided by the monk ability Diamond Soul is not displaying properly on the character sheet. This is a visual error only, and the spell resistance is being applied.
  • Improved Trip's DC is not being increased by anything other than Strength bonuses. Tactics and Strategy Enhancements are not being taken into account.


Enhancements

  • We are aware that the Tempest enhancement is incorrectly applying the +2 feat bonus to AC at all times, instead of only while dual wielding.
  • The halfling dragonmark of healing cannot currently target undead


Items

  • Zoning removes the affect of Lesser, Improved, and Greater Regeneration applied by raid loot. Re-equipping the raid loot items after zoning will reapply the effect.
  • Greensteel bows are currently not properly applying blast effects.
  • In rare cases, level 10 and level 11 race restricted handwraps were not working as intended. These dysfunctional handwraps will no longer drop. Note that any of these particular handwraps that were previously dropped are still dysfunctional.


Crafting

  • Named desert items, such as the Sirroco, bound using the Stone of Change will lose the bound effect when you reenter the game.
  • NEW - Items fixed or modified using the Stone of Change or other Eldritch Devices will sometimes not display the updated effects. This is a display bug only. Removing, and then re-equipping, the item will show the updates to the item.


Monsters

  • King Raiyum is a bit smarter than the average undead ruler, and avoids spawning into AoEs when possible. If you do cast AoEs onto King Raiyum before he spawns, and he does not spawn: leave the room , allow the AoE spells to expire, and then return to the room. He should activate normally.
  • Frost spiders may not be selectable using the mouse. Tab targeting them will work.


Quests

  • Heyton's Rest
    • Upon destruction of the final alter, the DM text says "The unnatural wailing stops..." however, the wailing sound continues on and only ceases when you leave the dungeon.

  • Foundation of Discord
    • One of the traps cannot be disabled by its control box.

  • The Black Abbot Raid
    • Remember, that just like wearing loose articles on a roller coaster can be dangerous, it may also be unsafe to do so during a recall out of raids. When attempting to guide your team mate across the chasm in the 2nd puzzle room of the Abbot raid, please be sure to remove your goggles before recalling after failure or success, as recalling with the goggles equipped could cause your party to become stuck during the loading screen. Should you become effected by this, please log in with a different character, and contact in-game support using the "?" button for assistance.
    • NEW - The Shroud
      • If taken to the death room ahead of your party, you will need to wait for your comrades to join you in the final encounter before you will be able to go back via the portals to receive rewards from the previous phase. This will be corrected in a future patch.


Shopping

  • When selling to pawnbrokers, remember that unlike Tavern-keepers and general vendors, other players can purchase an item you've sold to the NPC. Additionally, it is intended that items sold to pawnbrokers will not appear in your buyback list. Instead the item will appear for purchase in the sell tab of the pawnbroker's list.


Other

  • G15 keyboard LCD displays currently show Spellpoint totals for non-casters. The hitpoint totals displayed as a result of changes to a player’s constitution bonus are sometimes displaying inaccurately.
  • Due to an issue with the engine upgrade, other player's characters may appear to be "choppy" in movement at times. This does not effect your own character, only other characters you are viewing.
  • Improvements have been made to the game's launcher, in order to become more compatible to Windows Vista. However, some users may encounter errors if they have already adjusted Vista permissions to get the game to work.
  • When breaking a crate or barrel, you or your friend(s) may hear the sarcophagus sound effect.
