    They haven't said yet. They're down for now. They appear to be working on them scaling as well, which is utterly terrible. :(

    How do I progress in the new MOD? I have finished seemingly everything in the shores area but when I pick up the quest from the Druid in PE I get sent to ebon downs to investigate disturbance, however the cave I get sent to is empty and when I leave it has me in pirates skyhold? Is this bugged and you really can't do anything other than heroics once you finish the quests given at the 4th campsite (the one with the druid hiding inside the tree).

    It's not all there yet you have to wait for more patches.

    New update going out now with the following changes that should largely be transparent to users. Please let me know if you get any new crashes, especially when doing group content or where there are a lot of players/FX firing off.

    FX system threading performance and stability updates.

    Thanks for the update! What is the expected downtime?

    Will this fix the bug with the No Crevice Untouched Quest so that we can try the new content that's locked behind it?

    It seems the transparent textures are gone, but FPS is still horrible.

    Does this impact the multi-core rendering option? I ask on because on live I have to turn this off for better performance even though I shouldn't have to.

    Nope, transparent textures still there, but far less.

    I think we have a fix for this for this weeks Friday release. We saw it most often in our internal playtests of the dungeon reworks. I kept trying to repel enemies off a cliff... only to realize it was a wall.

    Nice!

    Yes, we did the Temple of Spider the other day and the ground was largely inexistent.

    Hah! This sounds like a new dungeon you're not very familiar with yet. Fingers crossed. :)

    Anyone having trouble logging in? after the patch yesterday my game stutters something aweful (reminds me of back when you had to turn off your cores to play) and now I can't play at all because once I log in I can look around and move the mouse but once I touch a key on my keyboard the game freezes and I have to ctr alt del or if the not responding window shows up close out the game. Either way it ends with me not being able to play.

    *edit*

    Just tried loading the game after turnning off multi core rending and disabling cpu cores and still freezes once I hit any key on my keyboard.

    *update*

    This is also happening on my other character (I have 3, CW, Paladin, GF). I can pan the mouse around but once I tap any key on my keyboard the game freezes.

    *update 2*

    I also can't appear to get past the loading screen on live, it freezes on the progress bar and then goes "not responding".

    *update 3*

    Strange, I tried launching from my steam account and it works perfectly, but when launching from the ARC launcher it freezes.

    Is there a way to get rid of that warlock buff revelry something or other? It was fun running around one shotting stuff to kinda run though some stuff but i'm kinda over that and want to see what its like to actually play my GF but 24 hours later that buff is still on my GF and he is still one shotting mobs even the crab boss. Its funny seeing all my powers do -2billion damage and kill something but again i'm interested in seeing how my GF will actually play. Any idea or is that a permanent bug until fixed later?

    Only way I know to get the buff off, is to die or wait 2 hours for it to wear off.

    So, question about the dungeon queues.

    First, are all the "leveling" dungeons officially changing to 3-man content? Will the new level 70 Epic version being 5-man again?

    Second, was the scaling suppose to work? It looks like the stats were reduced to the appropriate levels, but the power damages were not. Even when I was scaled down to 25 for Cragmine Crypts or 55 for Temple of the Spider, most stuff was still dying in one or two hits.

    And third, with that scaling, Augment pets and Bonding Runestone buffs were NOT affected by the buffs, so when my power was dropped to 900 with the downscaling, summoning my Augment brought my power back up about 3k or so.

    As of the current build, the 5-person, non-scaling dungeons were still available to walk in the door, and presumably to queue for at-level and if queues were all switched on.

    I think it would be a bad idea to make them entirely scaling because it's a totally different experience to be level 34 and run Mad Dragon with your two buddies who are level 60, and to do it with a full party who are all your level, just like CTA skirmishes don't play out at all like their level-locked counterparts.

    Yeah, the way it's set up now with the scaling 3-person dungeons...it's so borked.

    I'm wondering what the actual intent is/was or is it just broken?
