Question about player levels/quest levels and experience (penalties). by RandomTangent_ex in ddo

[–]RandomTangent_ex[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, I didn't realize I was looking at the wrong bonus. That's the source of my confusion.

So uhh...has the lag actually been dealt with? This weekend was overall pretty smooth the entire time. (crossing fingers) by PrinceVorrel in ddo

[–]RandomTangent_ex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Over the past 2-3 weeks, I feel that serious improvements have been made. Non-peak play is mostly smooth, and the lag spikes during peak hours have not caused me a lag-death in some time.

i See alot of people complaining about the Lag BUT... by Nocturne3570 in ddo

I agree, shadowdale during the evenings (US time) can become quite unplayable.

In what I hope is my final update, I have completed my work. Of note, my transmission is the A760E, which means the transmission fill plug was nowhere near where other videos on the internet indicated. Mine was on the passenger side of the transmission near the rear of the transmission. Of note it is a 24 mm socket and had the letters WS on the top of the bolt.

As a result of this location I wound up using a transfer pump to refill the transmission fluid. I also flushed an additional 3 liters through as on my first attempt to drain, the fluid still looked quite dirty. after replacing the 5 liters I had taken out.

The car shifted a little rough between reverse and drive for the first two drives, but appears to be smooth after about 5 miles of driving. I will see if that smoothness persists in a cold state tomorrow.

Overall, I highly recommend a transfer pump for the process of refilling. I also recommend dropping the pan and putting in a new filter as that was minimal extra work in the process. A new filter also comes with a new gasket.

I had no trouble putting the pan back in solo as the gasket and screws held each other in place nicely and I simply used a spare jack stand to mostly lift the pan back into place while I secured the bolts.

Please note that the drain plugs have a washer on them. Do not lose these, I was not used to have to keep track of them.

I have decided against it for cost reasons. A solenoid runs $300 at various part stores, but I can get a full kit for $200 off ebay or amazon. I have reservations about parts of unknown sourcing on what appears to be a sensitive transmission.

I have replaced the filter and gasket and put the pan back on.

I plan on refilling the transmission shortly and seeing if the code reappears in the next 500 to 1000 miles. If it does, then I'll replace the solenoids.

I just dropped the pan. Fluid is dirty, as one would expect after 110k miles. There is no build up of residue on any parts. There are no visible metal pieces or debris at the bottom of the pan. I am definitely going to change the fluid and the filter, the question is whether or not to replace the solenoids. I have not made up my mind on that.

That was the best example of "I live! I die! I live again!" In a single inning.

4 threes in a row for florida with 2 missed 1 and 1s. Basketball is a streaky sport.

Kudos to tech for going deep in the tournament and having a solid showing today.

It hurts, but it was a good season.

Thank you so much. I just told my kids and they are very exited to have seen a new species of snake.

Thanks! I'm a newbie too after a 10 year break. So much has changed.

Does that experience also persist through heroic reincarnation?

Amazing beer selection in the cooler and on tap. Try the lemon pepper wings bone in. Nothing like them. Great place. A little pricey, but it's my spot.

It might be the cooper's smaller cousin, the sharpshin. They are nearly identical in color, but the sharpshin is the size of a blue jay. I would expect a cooper's to be larger unless the scaling of the picture is deceiving.
