Also, release notes and known issues will be posted shortlyBeen a few hours... any word on those notes?

[wmdearmond]

Hey kookie the entrance to evningstar in the dojo is missing

[Drwaz99]

Guess no release notes today? Bummer.

[HatsuharuZ]

Release notes... they want to be FREEEEE!!!!!!

[Delacroix21]

Two Bugs remain, my guess is many many more will be discovered=

+2 crit range with shuriken does nothing (examining the shuriken shows a crit range of 18-20x2, no crit confirmation rolls on 18, only 19&20 with imp crit thrown).

Monk +3 to dodge cap enhancement does nothing

[Rhaphael]

Is there a reason why Lamannia server uptime always coincide with bonus XP weekends on the Live servers? It makes it so we have to choose between testing and bonus XP, not a good thing if you ask me...

It's because for this BETA testing there are much more people who can play/test on the weekends. I don't think they intentionally made it to colide with the xp bonuses.

Is "Shortly ™" the new "Soon ™"?

Release the kraken notes! Kraken the release notes!

Yes please release the release notes!!!!!!!!

i can spare you a lot of wasted time on those notes.

look thru the Lam forums for the changes that everyone is begging for.
none of those changes will be present.

now look for the things the players despise.
those will be updated to make them even more intolerable.


<sarcasm>oh and of course, all the monk capstones are now obtainable with 2 monk levels and 5 points spent in the enhancement tree.</sarcasm>

[Havok.cry]

Devs posting about stuff, but still no release notes. And they wonder why no one believes anything they say till it actually happens.

Thanks :), I have something to do at work now!

Wow, 2 changes/fixes. I really hope Patch one is huge. It needs to be.

Only vitally important changes have been allowed in, specifically to make sure the software is as stable as we can make it. Other fixes have already been done for later release, but we want more time and testing before those reach live, to prevent those fixes from producing more errors. Squeezing in non-vital changes at the last minute is something that involves substantial risk of breaking things that are already known to work.

No, it makes sense. And I understand it's better to be safe than sorry. It's just incredibly frustrating for us (as well as to you I would hope) to see so many potential bugs reported in the Bug Discussion sub-forum from the opening of this preview still sitting there with no confirmation that they are bugs with fixes ongoing, are WAI or fixed for later.

the notes contain this interesting snip:



Experience Ransack Changes:

You now get a Daily Bonus of 20% experience the first time you play each quest, every day
Quest Experience no longer deprecates down permanently for repeatedly playing it. Instead Quest Experience now functions similar to chest ransack mechanics:
Normally each time you repeat a quest, the amount of experience the quest grants decreases. This remains true as of Update 19, although the curve of how much XP deprecates after how many runs as been adjusted. For each repetition of the same quest, the deprecation is 20%
Quest XP deprecation from repetition now bottoms out at 20% instead of 10%
In 18 hours, the quest will adjust the XP back up by 50%
The Quest XP report panel now updates to reflect what your current bonus/ransack amounts are
The Experience Ransack Values are now properly set
More information here: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...est-XP-Changes
Load screen tips have been added for Quest Ransack and Daily Bonus, ahoy!


im sorry, but what definition of deprecate are we using here? lol

*edit*

checked merriam-webster.com, and i think you meant definition 1!

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/deprecate



tho being in IT myself, im assuming u are using our definition. and im rly not sure that makes much sense tho. :/

I wonder if it was depreciate as it could fit there as well! :)

[Alcedes]

most likely. but reading 'deprecate' is so much more entertaining and not only that...it kinda matches my feelings towards the new anti-grinding rules. lol

Was logged into lammania an hour ago, tried logging in now and says "no subscription found" just like you.

[SqueakofDoom]

Bother. Sounds like the Log in server for Lamannia is being fussy again. It may not appreciate the increased traffic right before the events.

Were you able to log in after a few attempts?

i can log in but dndclitent keeps failing

Random fix (at least, it worked for me last night):

1) Remove your login name from the box.

2) Retype it.

3) Log in.

4) Magic!

I'm thinking that invisible characters get added on somewhere, and retyping your full login information clears it.

[Nascoe]

Glad you managed to add some of the reported bugs to the known issues list, I hope you can add the rest of them so people do not have to work out that these are not OK by themselves!
