Ingredients will now be pulled directly from the Shared Bank - Crafting Storage (formerly called the Bag Deposit Box) when a player selects a recipe from an Eldritch crafting devices and Barter UI.


Awesome.. Now if you could just easily group or sort it by type/quest

[DANTEIL]

I would like to try out the Warlock on Lammania, but I play on a Mac. Does anyone know if there's a Mac client for download?

[Steve_Howe]

Character Copy to Lamannia does not seem to be working...

Please fix!

[Hiponic]

Yea.. Can we copy our toons from G-Land cordo?

It is cool you guys got Lam up kinda outta no where,,,, when G-land went down.
Well played.. Well played.

[Rasputin]

Created a Human Warlock. Started on the airship. Told the girl that I wanted to start at Level 7. When I tried to select Warlock from the list of classes I was told that I did not have access to that class. Had to delete the character and start again. Frankly couldn't get up the enthusiasm.

Re-read the first post, so I went back into the game and tried to purchase Warlock from the DDo store. Clicked Show All Items. Warlock was the last on the list. However, it says "this item cannot be purchased". Back to square 1.

If I recall, when they released Druid and Artificer....veteran status was disabled for those for the first couple of months. This may be WAI.

Right, copy will not be available for Ghallanda until the world reopens.

[Gratch]

Account weblogged in and Character Copy shows previous transfers I have done to Lama, but when I select any server I get:

You have no characters on this server.

Will try logging out and restarting web session next. Edit: Didn't work.

Does the no copy for Ghallandans mean you can't copy from Ghallanda or that if you have any character on Ghallanda that was recently used, you can't copy from any server?

[Hiponic]

Right, copy will not be available for Ghallanda until the world reopens.

lol oooh so bitter sweet for us G-Landers this past month.

[Scrapco]

It is now possible to craft remotely from your Shared Bank: Crafting Storage supply. Eldritch devices and Barter UI NPCs will now automatically search Crafting Storage for recipe ingredients.


As a crafter, I love this!

As a crafter, I'm terrified it's going to make things even slooooooooower.

Definitely an upgrade in niceness though. Maybe it's time to cap my fat dwarf!

[Scrapco]

The following creatures have been added to their respective Monster Manual volumes:
...
Drunken Sorcerer Pirate Aroomba
Gregoir the Mighty
Hobgoblin Opportunist
Jack Jibbers
Mutinous First Mate Shakra

Well, this sounds like something's coming up... :-D

If I recall, when they released Druid and Artificer....veteran status was disabled for those for the first couple of months. This may be WAI.They are not restricting Warlocks from Veteran, LR, Otto's, etc... Posted earlier today.

[Hiponic]

Im more afraid of the obvious thing that happens.. every time they mess with the bank.
Im still waiting on D/L, Cant copy a toon so Ill have to TR 3 times just to get the 36pt.

Of course it wont be any indication of what my actual warlock will be cause.. ya know completionist but. Ill be damned if I sit click through that many levels lol.

Rather be playing on the server that counts, But excited to try.

[Steve_Howe]

Well, this sounds like something's coming up... :-D

Yeah, it's called Three Barrel Cove...you should check it out!

[Gratch]

The Completionist feat is not yet removed on existing characters.

In previous class additions to the game the completionist feat was never "removed" from an active character... you just can't add it again if you perform any sort of TR, ETR, ITR, LR, or Fred swap it out until you again qualify for it by having all class past lives. But there's no reason to add code to forcibly remove it.

Saving you some coding time. Also removes a future "*** - I HATE THIS GAME" for someone who comes back to DDO in 6 months to find their feat ripped out.

[Scrapco]

Yeah, it's called Three Barrel Cove...you should check it out!

My fave after Mabar. :-D Hobgoblin slayer, here I come!

I was so excited to see lamannia open after the download but it wont let me log in. gives me an error msg 201 "can't find .dat files. I looked on support but doesn't help! Please any suggestions?

[Ziindarax]

Character copy is still acting up - In fact, when I tried to re-copy Ziind over from Orien, it's now saying he's "Queued". Looks like another update in which I won't be able to copy any of my characters over..

Kamgar, and prior attempts at getting Ziind on there are still reading as "Processing".


Character Copy glitches aside, this is shaping up to be a nice update.

[Scrapco]

Hm, why not first try the basic warlock and give feedback to the class as such, I am sure we will get more chances to test things more thoroughly in combination with specific build ideas, equipment, stacking, multiclassing etc (so far we only have 2 of the trees).

[Nascoe]

1. it takes some getting used to effectively using the EBs
2. standard blast seems very sluggish (flame strike but with force), but you can get a good shot of them in volley to blast away targets
3. chain seems a vast improvement - it auto homes in to mobs even behind you while you run (unless you target something else)
4. from running this in a few harbour quests i get the impression that the blasts are a bit too easily powerful on very low lvl but might be hard to scale up.

[Nascoe]

My time to actually play is extremely limited. I usually only do things that I've planned ahead for. Tooling around and just "experimenting" with no plan is counterproductive for me.

I guess we approach things differently then. I like to first see what it works like "basic" and "clean" (and whether it actually does work!) before I start integrating it into a more complex environment.

But sure, i get that if you feel its wasting time, you're probably better off waiting for the next build, where things should be further tuned, and hopefully we will be able to get our live characters over as basis for our own Warlocks

[Hipparan]

I just wanted to put the idea out there of lowering the sound effect on the EB chain shape. I love the shape and using it on Lamannia, but holy kobolds is the sound effect overwhelming. It's like having three sorcerers using chain lightning in succession, and I can imagine more than one warlock in a party using it would end up killing everyone with sonic damage. In all seriousness though, I feel like a better sound effect would be the electric loop, as it's much less exploding and more zapping. Another idea would be using the sound that blast rod has. If anything, the volume should be turned down on the effect. Great eldritch blast shape change, but I don't know if I am going to use it regularly or much at all if it's blasting in my ears. I enjoy being able to hear other sounds from the game. Thanks!

First, no character transfer, then, can't get in. Pretty sad.

I patched on an existing copy of lamannia but it gave me an error 201 "Game error [201] Can't open the data files. Check that they exist and that you have permission to write to them. The program will now exit. [201]."

So I uninstalled and re-installed and it then came up with the Unable to decrypt message.

My thread - https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/460788-Patching-troubles-unable-to-descryp-deserialize-etc - here has people with this issue, myself included.

When I copied a fully functional LIVE copy of DDO over to a new folder and replaced the "TurbineLauncher.exe.config" file it patched what I assume is needed for Lamannia only, as that seems to be the file that tells it what server to hit for patching and all.

It updates a handful of files, then the patcher restarts, then it immediately fails with the "unable to decrypt/deserialize" etc error.

I noticed, though, that if I just copy over my TurbineLauncher.exe from my live directory and replace the one in the Lamannia directory that it patches fine.. but then it patches itself, the turbinelauncer.exe, then restarts.. and fails immediately. My gut is that something is off with the launcher being distrbuted? It must be different from the live exe somehow, else it'd not patch itself, and as soon as it does, it breaks.

I was running on a totally fresh Lamannia install. But I also tried piggy-backing on a functioning live installation just swapping the TurbineLauncher.exe.config. Like I said, my gut says something is wonky with the launcher being distributed, since replacing that with a live launcher works fine, but as soon as it updates itself, it funks out.. prior to that, though, it will download and patch any other files necessary without the decrypt error.

Just to be thorough, as my thread says: already followed all KB, checked firewall/defender allowances, removed dat files, reinstalled/hotfix'd 1.1 .net stuff, deleted the folders, etc. No go on everything.

edit: If I run the mce launcher it works fine, but points me to the normal live servers.. this leads me doubly to believe there's some kind of jive disconnect with the distributed lamannia build and what the launcher is expecting to be there in regards to files/versions/etc. for the post-download accuracy check and such.

If there's someone with a working existing client it oughta be easy enough to figure out why if one of 'em can grab a fresh install and compare, there has to be some file or the like that just isn't propagating or checking properly, simple as that!

I poked at it a bit further.. strangely, I installed fresh from ddopreview.exe on my husband's system.. it works! .. except that all the .dat files are 1kb. :( The patcher passes check on them though, but the game won't load.. Strangely, when I copy proper dat files over, it then gives the decrypt error.. I'm updating my 'gut feeling' to be that one file that wasn't patched, ie something existent in present builds, was updated internally and released with this patch on accident, and the newer patchers are looking for the old one to still be there, ergo the error.. I feel like one of the dat files between the two versions will be different.

Easy enough to do a file compare but probably more of a time investment than I'd want to spend since I don't work for The Company. Perhaps someone at Turbine can earn a compensatory attaboy for working the weekend on this.

Same here, me think I fixed 201 error changing the admnistrator options and reinstalling, but now I also have the decrypt message, happening at 77% when checking DAT or something like that.

The strange part. I Installed the lamma server in the turbine carpet but with a diferent name of the live server (named "lammania" the new carpet) but i just checked the carpet and didn't found the carpet of the live server... but when I log in in the liver server (ghallanda heh) it worked just fine.

I'm kinda confused.


P.S. Sorry for my bad english lol

[Maxxcore]

How do we go to Lamannia? Is it special select people?

[Oxarhamar]

Notes:
•Temple of Elemental Evil
•The chance to get rare encounters in the Temple of Elemental Evil Part One has been increased.
•The XP of almost all Optional Objectives has been increased. In most cases, the XP has been doubled.
•Non-Mythic versions of the named items now drop. Like their Mythic counterparts, they are found in both End Chests and random encounters, but are more often found in random encounter chests.
•The drop rate of Mythic named items appearing in random encounter chests has been increased.
•Wands of Wonder now drop less frequently.
•Effects granted by the altars are removed when leaving the quest.



Please consider increasing the Rare spawn rate in the water node. (the other nodes seam fine) since the water node is mostly swimming there are less rare spawns.

[legendkilleroll]

For the ToEE notes, more rare spawns is fine, better xp fine

Now the loot is just gonna be common, yeh people didnt get what they want, complained on the forum and now this, not only are mythic getting better drop chance but your making non mythics aswell

The scimitar and pick for example are already not very good, having a lesser version makes no sense, some of the other items i think are nice and having rare items is good imo.

Most are just gonna settle for the non mythics if the difference is marginal, really dont like whats happening here, why does everyone have to have everything?

I feel like having basic & mythic versions of the weapons is good however, the mythic need to truely be mythic & worth chasing after not minor increases like the mythic helms in Enecro.

I agree some of the mythical are vendor trash as is.

Try deleting the dat files and repatching. And not connecting to the akami server, check your firewall and the settings for akami in your control panel for it.

You really think that I even allowed Akamai Netsession to install itself on my PC ?
I used my revered standalone install files, and just launched PyLoTRO and asked it to patch the game to avoid it...
Now since the game is up to date, I can either launch it from the normal client or from PyLOTRO. ( I prefer PyloTRO... no infinite download of screens and C++ )
To make sure Akamai Netsession doesn't install itself behind my back I even went all the way to create a directory where it tries to hide, and make it unwritable, unreadable, ... without Admin rights. ( so that UAC fires up and whine if it tries to install itself )



Is anyone experiencing the "Unable to decrypt" error on an existing installation/patch?
It's an install from last August... worked fine and updated fine until U24... for U25 I got the error, and just let drop the issue after wasting a few hours trying to fix it.
So yes, I'm experiencing it on an existing installation.

Hey just a question, Would it be too much to ask for a dev to jump on and drop some items? Primarily some tomes and necro mats? since I can't copy my main toon that has those items, and yes I have tested warlock out but I would like to test it with my main (or as close to my main as I can get) which is the toon that will be tring to warlock.

First off..
When looking at the warlock class clicking on the Tab for Stats. It has Wis at like 16 and Cha at 8.
But when reading about it, it tells me that Cha is its most important stat and wis has nothing to do with it?

Very confused by that

2...

I think it would be worth letting Premium players open Elite on Lam.

Rite now the toon transfer thing is down so every premium player trying to test warlock at the present time has to create a New toon ..
I dont know that last one is minor I really dont care if that ever gets changed.

But the first part I suggest turbine takes a look at..

[Saaluta]

Saddened by the fact that character copy and store were both down on Lama land this weekend. Hopefully both will be back up for the next iteration #putsonhopefulface.

Saal :)

Also, would it be possible to enable the xp vendor to give us max heroic xp with one talking to rather than having to get a level, talk again, get next level, talk again...ad nauseum( with 30 people in test dojo getting the flash every second someone with a seizure disorder could have problems. And it would make it much easier to test characters at whatever level you wish to then continue leveling as wanted/needed. Or as an alternative you could add the recurring treasure bags with xp stones(a la otto boxes) for those who wanted to take the quick route.

If you tell him you want to become the ultimate of your trade he will max out your XP in one go

We've updated the Lamannia installer to hopefully address the issues people have been having in trying to download a fresh installation of Lamannia since Friday. Click here (http://content.turbine.com/sites/clientdl/ddo/preview/ddopreview.exe) for the client (it's also in the How to Access Lamannia thread.)

[gwonbush]

Technically not true: he provides you with 1.9m xp, which is enough to max out a first lifer. However, if you are on a second or third life, you get hit with the xp cap for the level you are currently on unless you gain enough to hit 20.

I was able to get the full 3.8mil XP off of him on a 3rd life when asking for ultimate training. Sunday night, not sure if you tried before or after that or if something changed.

I have yet to see something as cool as that. Yeah, still grants 1.9 mill and to top it off, any reincarnation limits how much you get applied to just enough to level until you get to level 15, then 1.9mill caps you for heroic. And in all epic leveling, you have to run back and forth until you get to lvl 25. Then you can ask twice to cap out.

NOTE: Character Copy is not currently functioning correctly. Luckily, this preview is meant to focus on the warlock! We apologize for the problems with Character Copy, and will endeavor to get it working for the next Lamannia preview.

oh wait cant, and only +4tomes in the store aswel so....i'm gonne pass on the preview since i cant do a preview with the toon(s) i want to do that preview with and as i was going thro the replys from people many feel the same way so you may wanne try to fix that issue so people can

Heads up: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we're not able to do a deployment to Lamannia today as I've hinted at recently. We're currently tracking to a new build on Lamannia that has a lot of polish in it in addition to the Soul Eater tree early next week. Thanks!

Lovely.

I didn't need to play on Lamannia this weekend anyway.

[Cordovan]

For those willing/interested in checking out a Twitch stream...plan is to do some soul-eating around 4pm Eastern today. (http://www.twitch.tv/ddostream)

[JOTMON]

Ingredients will now be pulled directly from the Shared Bank - Crafting Storage (formerly called the Bag Deposit Box) when a player selects a recipe from an Eldritch crafting devices and Barter UI.


Awesome.. Now if you could just easily group or sort it by type/quest

and make it hold 1,000+ items in stacks of 100,000..
The bag deposit box should be where I can put everything from all my toons not a staging area to pass everything to my crafting toon that has multiple large, huge, gargantuan, and colossal bags because the bag deposit box doesn't hold enough variety or big enough stacks to hold all the crafting ingredients I have collected.

Are you kidding me. You played a Warlock Souleater on Twitch today? You withhold it from us by not releasing the update to Lam today, but then you flaunt in our faces on Twitch.

And to top it off, I missed it!

Cordovan, that's just cruel.

:)

P.S. I am sorry I missed the show, I hope it went well and I do look forward to testing the new tree next week. Have a great weekend!

[AMADHA]

Our first preview of Update 26 is now available on Lamannia!

Yesterday I could create a rogue and then multi-class to a Warlock. Today I don't have access to the Warlock class when I do this??? however, I can still start as a Warlock, so this is odd.

Update: Seems no matter how I create one when I try to upgrade my level I no longer have access to the class???

I'm having the same issue. I created a bunch of warlocks over the weekend, but today when I go to try and build one, it tells me I don't have access to the class. The purchase button in the store is grayed out, so I can't buy it there, and when I try to create one in character generation it still has the "free trial" thing listed, but I can't take more than one level of warlock, no matter what I do.

I've tried creating a new warlock, multiclassing into warlock, using a reincarnation to try and reset all my levels, etc, nothing works. The warlock class is simply locked out.

[Cordovan]

Unsure why folks might be having trouble getting the warlock in the DDO Store on Lamannia. Either way we should have it fixed in our next deployment, which is tentatively set for tomorrow-ish.

[Maelphistez]

People are using the "Free Trial" in character creation. Then when they get to reincarnation, the trial is no longer available. Everyone just needs to remember to buy the Warlock class from the Lam store prior to reincarnation.

I did exactly as the Dev's instructed; 1) Created a Warlock using the free trial, 2) logged the Warlock on, 3) opened the DDO store and set to display all, and 4) found Warlock class. It would not allow me to purchase it.

[Maelphistez]

Hmm... maybe that's the difference. I created a Wiz for the past life and bought Warlock before I TR'd.

[Xerio]

I can't believe that after 2 weeks of following the warlock threads on the forums, I have to be the one to post this pic.

For when the new class finally comes out, this will be what I will be rolling.

We will be taking Lamannia down today to deploy an update to Update 26. There's still work to do before we go live with it, but this version of Lamannia has quite a bit more polish, the Soul Eater tree, and a bunch more. Updated Release Notes will be available later today.

We will also be doing a character wipe. The reason for us to do this is twofold: There are enough changes in this build that it is preferable to start fresh, and this will also allow people to use the Character Copy tool to bring a copy of their live characters to Lamannia. Please note that in order for us to reset the tool, we have some things that need to be done with the world down, and ideally when no one is using the tool. So, when we bring Lamannia down, please refrain from using the Character Copy tool until the world has reopened. Failure to follow my suggestion means it's possible you'll encounter an issue with the copy tool that may impact your ability to copy characters this preview. Thanks!

Ok just keep us in the loop on the character copy tool as well. I tested warlocks a bit on Lammania, but I cant give a fair impression (from an Epic Elite standpoint as that is the only difficulty I run) without some pastlives thrown in.


Looking forward to giving this a true test once I can copy my toon over!

while the server is down any chance you could update the store to reflect the live server ddo store like +5 tomes or 6 right now and skill tomes including umd! If not i understand it might be a lot of work just curious to know if i should pack a lot of stuff onto my toons before i copy them!

[HatsuharuZ]

Could you post release notes today, at least? :D



(I say that, knowing that it isn't going to happen, but I had to ask. It's traditional.)

[Grosbeak07]

I finally got Warlock to work.

I had to make a new character, made sure I clicked the "Free Trial", then loaded that character into the game and then was able to buy the class in the store, which allowed my other characters to take Warlock levels again.

The trick was I had to use a new character. Using the previous "Free Trial" character didn't work.

[Cordovan]

Lamannia has reopened with a new update for Update 26! Release Notes and Known Issues have been updated as well.

We have also done a character wipe on Lamannia. The Character Copy tool has had its cache and queue cleared, so you - should - be able to copy characters now. That said, I'm noticing extremely long load times on the copy page, so it may be getting hammered at the moment. I'd recommend giving it a bit of time for the initial traffic to clear up.

EDIT: Character Copy fixed!

ORIGINAL: Indeed, the Character Copy tool doesn't seem to be functioning. We've done the work to enable copies, but the page either doesn't load, or loads extremely slowly and doesn't seem to resolve well. If time doesn't fix this, it will have to be something we dig further into when time permits, which means that Character Copy may not be functioning for this preview. If so, we apologize, and will be working on it.

Character Copy has been fixed! Copy to Lamannia is now available. As usual, if you run into problems:

1. Try logging into the character you want to transfer on live, then log out of live. If a character hasn't been logged in in a while, this will allow it to be copied.
2. Make sure you don't have an item conflict. If you put item X on character A, copy character A, then send item X to character B, you will not be able to copy character B to Lamannia.

Cord, I copied my toon to Lammania and TR'd him into an iconic Bladeforged. Level 1 was paladin of course, and level 2 I trained warlock. Now it wont let me take any more warlock levels and keeps opening the ddo store when I talk to the warlock trainer. I tried relogging and the problem persists.


Secondly, I made a brand new human warlock. On the starting ship I tried to make my 2nd level a warlock and it kept opening the ddo store, once again not letting me train the warlock test.


At the moment its impossible to test the warlock class =(.

[Delacroix21]

UPDATE-----

My Bladeforged ended up being 19paladin/1warlock as I couldnt take any more warlock levels.


I then used a LR +20 heart, and at level 1 character class selection screen it would NOT let me take warlock and once again opens the ddo store.



This needs to be fixed asap. =(

[phyrephoenix]

I'm not understanding this "fixed" character copy we are talking about. Also to reply to the previous posts, if you buy warlock from the store you can train additional class levels.

I am also a ViP on Live, but not on Lammania. uggg these bugs

[Delacroix21]

I turned off "filter for character" button in the ddo store, and can now see the warlock class. But it wont let me quickbuy or add to cart and has a red message saying "This item cannot be purchased"

[Delacroix21]

Work around=

1. Make a new level 1 character with 1 level of warlock
2. Enter game with warlock and open DDO store
3. Change filter to show all items
4. buy warlock
5. Then log out and can LR etc into a warlock

[Cordovan]

Character copy should be working correctly. Just did it from home without issue. Those with issues most likely were using the copy tool during this afternoon's copy tool issues. If that's you: Try clearing your browser cache. Also, try using a different browser (just for this, if you are sensitive about that.) Try copying a different character, if possible? If that still doesn't work, you may be out of luck for now. If it's really important, get in touch with me and I will come to you and bring you Things. I will plan for at least an hour in the test dojo tomorrow.

[Cordovan]

Also, get the Warlock in the Lamannia DDO Store as soon as you log in with a new character (warlock fine during trial) if you are having an issue. Log out then back in. If you are leveling up just fine, no need to do this. Sir Poincelot is in the Dojo. If you are having a store issue, try showing everything. If there is a purchase problem, we'll look into it tomorrow.

[Drakos]

Ok, this is the same issue that was reported prior to the update, the work around is this.

1) Create a new Warlock character.
2) Log in the new character and immediately open the DDO Store.
3) Set the store to Display All
4) Find the Warlock, either with search or through the menus.
5) Buy Warlock.

This fixed it for me and my brother. It was explained when the first released Warlocks on Lamma land.

So for everyone who doesn't know Lamannia like the back of their hand here is the part you are missing from the 1,000 people who are ONLY saying "Just open the store and buy it" You need to go to the SPECIAL TRAINING AREA (named: Test Dojo) found only on Lamannia server. The entrance is located in the Marketplace next to the fountain by all of the trainers. There is a standing door next to the giant headstone at the entrance to Harbor from Marketplace simply named "Waypoint". Once inside the area go to the center island and hang a right. A line of NPCs should be there and the guy at the very far left of that line is who you want to talk with, Lord Poincelot <Festival Collector>. Once this is done you now have 10k turbine points to use to buy Warlock.

Also, you will need to do this prior to the process I explained because you need to buy Warlocks immediately after logging into the Free Trial Warlock character. I didn't point this out because I believed that people already knew you needed TP to but things in the DDO store, sorry for giving people the benefit of the dought.

However, the coding of the spell on the current Lamannia build is completely borked, as it tries to inflict quench and douse damage on affected enemies, giving the frost icon damage followed by an "immune". There's no entanglement as well. Also, the spell tends to autotarget at self, creating the tentacles where you stand. You have to manually click on the monster, selecting them, then cast the spell for it to cast at range, unlike ice storm. These issues aside, as the previous poster said, it looks sweet. Frigging sweet.

Thanks for all the hard work, and I hope you continue to listen to our feedback to add more warlock spells in.

Heads up: We will be propping a new build to Lamannia today. We'll be taking the world down when we do. Time TBA but probably late afternoon, Eastern. No character wipe.

Main goal is to make it easier to roll up and play a warlock on Lamannia.

OMG!!! Evard's Black Tentacles look perfect

I think the only thing that would make it look cooler is if a puddle of black spread out in the area, and the shaders emitted from that.

Thanks!

I wish the metas affected the damage and speed of the blasts. I also didn't see the second epic blast feat available, despite meeting the requirements.

[Cordovan]

I will be on Lamannia from 1-2:00 PM Eastern today (in less than an hour.)

Can we please get an update to the ddo store a lot of us have +5 +6 and+7 tomes however not necessarily in cha or maybe another stat we need same goes with skill tomes can we please update the ddo store to at least reflect what we would have on live servers to make it easier for us to transfer from something that was maybe a str build to something that is now a cha build to take advantage of the new warlock! Have pleaded for this in the past trying once more! Thanks for you time cordovan!

Ah yes I had the same issues I bug reported it but I figure its just a WIP.

[Cordovan]

UPDATE: We are still planning to update Lamannia tonight. Probably later this evening. Either me or KookieKobold will let you know when we are taking the world down and it comes back up.

[Cordovan]

ALSO: We have new Shared Account Bank storage available to check out in the Lamannia DDO Store. If you are on Lamannia, check it out!

The exact timeline to release this expanded storage is still being discussed, so it - may - not come with Update 26.

Item, or crafting storage? It wasn't clear looking at it.

If item, its no use. Too much BtC gear doesn't go in it.

Question, is there a abnormality possible with fortification of warlock?
I got cleary way to much of it, thinking maybe cores of souleater give double or triple? Since im sitting at 320% with 3 bf plifes and 120% fortif item.
It should be 135 +50 cores so 185%, but i have 320 for some reason.

appears to be calculating multiplicative rather than additive, WAI?

There is a bug we've identified on Lamannia that is giving out far too much Fortification. It's been fixed internally.

So while design on Warlocks seems to be somewhat calming down and getting closer to launch, will U26:Systems Stuff launch be directly followed by the U27:Content Stuff hitting Lamannia? (in order to make Sev's July target for U27)...

I'm very interested in seeing the initial writeup for Epic Amrath Loot. Mostly because I haven't added a single epic item to my end-game characters layout since U23 (though heroic upgraded ToEE items are great for TR's).

What I'm hoping to see from epic amrath itemization:

SETS AND SET BONUSES
A specific set class bonus (that scales with class level?)
A specific set enhancement bonus that requires Core Tier 5 (L18)
Clothing Items found in quests and Upgradable Raid Rings worked before and could work again


I'll leave it up to the devs whether the total number of sets is per class or per enhancement tree... though quality wise, maybe per class is better.

Then again I hope the systems team hasn't been so busy with Warlock that all of the class/enhancement hinging set bonuses haven't had time to be designed. Then I would be sad. And will begin posting crying puppy images until Cordo revokes my image posting capabilities.

[Cordovan]

We'll definitely see the U27 stuff on Lamannia moderately soon after U26 is out, as you state (since U27 is scheduled for July.)

[Xerio]

Do we have a tentative live date for U26?

[Grosbeak07]

Do we have a tentative live date for U26?


With only 2 weeks of June left, odds point to next week [I hope]. Hopefully one last update to Lama to make sure they don't break the game too bad, then you'll see it go live say on say the 23rd or so. Then down 2 days later to hot fix.

I would like to say thank you for listening to the players and not making enlightened spirit another tree that you have to multi-class to make useful. I have played it on my main char and am able to get respectable ac, prr, and mrr. while in sentinel I have 1700+ hp, and feel like I could be on the front lines and not die in one hit. on the other hand I am not feeling like I am over powering everything nor exploiting. I also have hard choices to make with feats, gear, and point split. I am glad enlightened spirit is not a must use tree like swashbuckler. I hope that with the bug fixes, that you can take a page from this and use it to update the other casters' melee trees. once again thank you for getting enlightened spirit right.

If u27 is due in July are we getting any testing time before it goes live? This is the end of the first week of July already and u26 has been out 2-3 weeks now but then the definition of "soon" moderately or otherwise has always been a bit lax.

[Gratch]

So um... U27 meets Lama...

SOON? (this week)
Soon? (next week)
or soon? (you'll never get your hands on U27, we're going straight to U28. U27 will be held in a special vault and while the vault will be on virtual display, the contents of the vault shall never be opened!)

Probably.

Ooh... first letter capitalized: Probably... So Definitely next week!

Time to celebrate being on the same page.

Or not (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkvmNoOIBsU).

[Seikojin]

If they did next week, it would be a very small turnaround. However I think it will be this week, on a Thursday. All based on typical update cadence for lam.

You do realize today is Thursday, right?

Server is back up but world is still closed, no updates downloaded at this time, so maybe this weekend???????

[Failedlegend]

Or not (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkvmNoOIBsU).

I don't get it :(
