Stealth fixes/changes in the Birthday Patch

[Ovrad]

Yes, once again there's some changes that made it into the game but not the release notes. Here's what I found so far:

- Epic scroll drops are no longer showing in the loot channel, but rather in party chat. Making it a lot more visible.
- Selecting another player will now show his level at the top of the examine orb. (Was showing 0 for everyone but yourself before the patch)
- The skull belt buckle on the Crimson Chain armor no longer stretch out weirdly on some races.
- EDIT: Very minor one but, when you equip/unequip a deathblock item, the deathward symbol will appear over your head.

Add yours if you find any.

This is actually a belated U8 stealth nerf, Risia Festival upgrades like Icy Burst or Glaciation are now categorised as "Festival" upgrades, only one of which is possible on any single item.

Previously possible Icy Burst Major Ice Lore Superior Glaciation IX weapons can no longer be made.

On the plus side, this does hint towards future Festivals providing other (non-frosty) upgrades, or it's hard to see why such a nerf would have been needed.

Items created prior to this season's Ice Games do not have these Festival notes in the related power, and it is unclear if these can have an extra Festival upgrade added, or not...

I'm sure someone will try some crazy combo, have it not work to their liking, and scream about how Turbine hates them. :)

My favorite hidden gem!

Bah. Every time I see a "stealth fix" topic, I immediately think they've finally changed it so I can use clickies while stealthed.

Not really a nerf, more WAI. It was possible to have festival cold touch, frost, AND icy burst on a weapon, but that was soon fixed. Even being able to add one of these effects is really really powerful; people pay a ton of cash for the collectables to put one pt of force damage on a weapon. I wonder if you can add festival cold stuff to regular cold stuff now.

Maybe this is older than the most recent patch, but I noticed it yesterday both when trying to place a guild augment crystal and when upgrading a Shroud item. You now get a prompt that says something along the lines of "You must unequip before crafting!" I had always left my GS equipped during upgrades with no issues.

Maybe not a fix but a bug, but the top sash part of my DT outfit and my Frostflame Robes are now gone w/ just the belt sash part remaining. OMG I'm topless!

This one was in the release notes on Lam when they where first posted as Update 8, patch 1. Odd it disappeared from the notes since then...

Cosmetic armor kit changes (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=303063) appear to be a bug, and has already been acknowledged by devs.
