Sentience Filigree: Cry of Battle filigree set now functions as intended.

Wait I thought it was fixed already a few updates ago, what wasn't intended?


Most Reaquire Raid Loot Recipes for weapons now function properly.
Exception: The White Plume Mountain Raid variants, earned through Schism Shards.
Players should not attempt to reacquire these weapons, as the recipe will fail and it will consume the Threads of Fate regardless.

Maybe we could remove it out of the recipe list so no one could potentially do it by accident?

1. Spines of Manticore / Wreath of Flame (filagree available from threads) is only ranged power. Is this supposed to be melee power too according to some notes from a dev a
while back from the Lammania version. Is this true or will it remain ranged only?

2. Season Pass: I heard there was/is an issue regarding getting full VIP bonus Xp for those who bought the pass. I have been holding off in part to see if this gets fixed (glad you fixed the other issue). Is that on the radar as an issue?

Will you be extending the deadline on Season pass because of this issue and some other prior issue glitches with it?

I am not sure on 1, will have to follow up. On 2, we have so far not been able to confirm that this is actually happening. If anyone has evidence to the contrary please let us know!

duel wielding
Is that like "don't bring a knife to a gunfight?" Or more like "charge a gun, run from a knife?"

It was originally mentioned to be a ranged power filigree in preview 1, when it was brought up the lack of a ranged power combo at all. Then in preview 2 it was mentioned to be melee power.

Not possible, sadly. That change would require a new game build, which, if we were to do that we would simply fix the recipe’s instead of removing them. The problem was discovered while testing the various changes in the release cadidate build today. It was determined to not be major enough to warrant attempting another build pull and potentially endangering the rest of the patch going out this week.

It is meant to be Ranged Power. Lamannia is a preview server, but a lot of things can and do change in design from Lamannia previews to live. We may have a Melee Power focused split filigree in the future, but Spines/Wreath is Ranged Power and will remain Ranged Power :)

i can confirm part 2 the vip bonus of a season pass holder is not applying in dungeons. i know it would say its being modified but never see it in the log

What's so very uncool about Warmaster? :P

Oh man now I have visions of a pseudo-gun-and-sword combo in DDO :) Like a 1h mini RXB (1d4 damage?) and offhand rapier, and a new line of "Duelist" fighting style feats :D

You can do it with a melee Artificer. Pick a gun-like runearm, and away you go.

Just checking, Negative Energy Burst and other spells people reported to have low damage not changed?

If it's not in the notes, it's not in the patch. We have other bugs on our radar, we fit as much as we could into this patch.

Like still no Favor updates even though your Producer stated that Falconry would be with this update

As Cordovan already covered elsewhere (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/501013-Black-Friday-Cyber-Monday-and-the-Falconry-tree?p=6164204&viewfull=1#post6164204), we tried to get it ready for U41 and this patch, but it isn't ready yet. When it is ready, we'll release it.

Probably not this update, but can you fix the spell destruction for death dominion cleric's. My spell slay living works properly, but the spell destruction which is the same saving throw and school doesn't hit 95% of the time.

VIP bonus is not listed on the XP log with the likes of conquest, ransack, ingenious, etc. The VIP bonus shows in the chat under (Advancement):

should look something similar to this:

(Advancement): You earned XX bonus experience from being a VIP.

wording is probably off as I’ve not been VIP for about 6 years, but something along those lines.

yeah i forgot to check general to see if it said there. i always thought it showed in the log. so its working as intended.

[Silverleafeon]

Went thru a free roll cycle...

Clicked on gold first some of the time then silver first some of the time...

Either way, got both gold and silver rolls for free...

Symbol on player icon is still tied to silver rolls only, but since they cycle at the same time, that is more than enough reminder for me to start rolling...

Glad to hear it! I'm still gonna dig around, though. I spent some time cleaning up sound procs from these buffs and if I missed one - well, I guess you've already heard how catastrophically annoying that would be :P

Big shout out for restoring Dragonmarks to Elves.

Changes were made to Memoirs, but that change wasn't in the notes.

The downtime is the Weekly Restart (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/495295-Downtime-Notice-Tuesdays-9-30-AM-Eastern-(-4-GMT)), when it isn't at the normal time we try to announce it in the main Weekly Restart thread, as we did in this post (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/495295-Downtime-Notice-Tuesdays-9-30-AM-Eastern-(-4-GMT)?p=6165867&viewfull=1#post6165867).

yup, my bad for not realising it was buried deep in another thread.

Part of the problem is that if you see this in the dev tracker on Tuesday night you might not even bother reading it:

It would be better to create a new entry that showed the proper day and time in the title of the thread.
