Update 58 Preview 1 date shift: Starts Wednesday, January 18th

[Cordovan]

We were hoping to get our first early preview of Update 58 out on Lamannia and open to the public today, but an issue came up as we were preparing for today's work which is requiring us to shift the date to tomorrow. Sorry! We'll have release notes and other preview information tomorrow when we're ready to open. Expect to see the first two new Archetypes available for an early preview tomorrow!

[QuantumFX]

Is there *any* chance that we could get the preview duration stretched out over the weekend? A longer duration would be accommodating for folks with jobs to have a chance to check out the preview.

[Axcarth]

Thanks for the information, Cordovan. I'm looking forward to see the news for U58.

[Duhboy]

Thank you for the timely response Cordovon!

[rabidfox]

if you want to drop the lam patch notes today still...

Yeah, that would be nice.

Are you looking for feedback or just showing off the new stuff?

Lammania is ALWAYS for feedback.

Lammania is ALWAYS for feedback.

If some feedback is left but no Dev reads it, did it really say anything?

[cmecu]

Lammania is ALWAYS for feedback.

We need more people over there testing. I test just about every time if I know about it..I leave feedback, but most of the time its never responded to and the bugs or issues I list are never fixed before it goes live.

[Acrisius]

If there were some way to have Lamannia up *before* the scheduled main server downtime, we could all be over there previewing while waiting for servers to come back up.

"First two new Archetypes"... hmm.... no, no, I'm not trying to read too much into that usage of words. :)

[J1NG]

I just hope one of the Devs will help me level up my guild to 150 so I can purchase all the guild ships one by one and examine them for the Trapsmith Workship room problem that is seen on Deck 4 side rooms by the State Room (not the side rooms along the hallway) of the Kraken.

Also so I can grab the map layout for each of the guild ships. Especially important if there's another ship with the exact same layout (through copy/oaste) as Deck 4 from the Kraken on their ship. Since they'll (most likely) need fixes when the Trapsmith Workship is installed into them, or at least, a warning on the wiki about them.

I haven't played DDO for a long time but I'm more than anything curious about the new archetypes that will come out with the update... who knows maybe something for the Rangers?

Urban Ranger :eek: nah, I guess probably not. Probably some dark, evil something variant of a class.

I strongly believe it will be Texas Ranger

Having the preview open for a longer period will allow those of us who need access to the data for the build community to be able to acquire it.

[EdsanDarkbane]

This comes at a good time. I haven't played over the last two weekends.

Would like to get some time on preview server.

I am unable to log in until Friday night do to work obligations. Could you guys consider extending the experience through Monday?

This on has me worried. Originally I figured they'd just do 3 at a time, then it was mentioned as a 'couple' for u58, which works well enough...but this wording. Two to three at a time seems fine , more might be a bit much. My main complaint is I'm finally starting my last TR today and was looking forward to relaxing with a basic end-game for awhile, now it's 9nly gonna be a few weeks before more TRs come out...more my problem for having to be a completionist.

Purely out of curiosity. Why do you feel you "have to" be a completionist?

Why not just play to cap - run some raids, do most quests on whatever you consider good reaperm(assuming you dont have 156 points already) and then eventually TR for the next life once you get bored at cap?

I am certainly not intending to judge anyone here - I am playing DDO afterall myself - but I am curious :)

Archetype past life count as the base class for completionist, so you do not have to do a single life as an archetype if you do not want to for your completionist.

If the past lives are useful I will consider them, if not I will ignore them, just as I have ignored the 3 archetypes we have gotten so far.5

[neain2008]

Im sure that its similar to me.

I WANT to have all classes at 3x. so SSG giving us 9 more with the last release and then 6 more with this next one has added to my 'workload'.

Im not complaining, I was a little worried about what I was gonna do since I'm done with all epics, racials, and getting far too close to 3x all classes as well.
I know that 'endgame' exists... I'm just not a fan. (in any mmo's, not just ddo)

Looking forward to seeing what new archtypes show up, and hoping that they make good class splits for shuri. xD

[Arkat]

"First two new Archetypes"... hmm.... no, no, I'm not trying to read too much into that usage of words. :)

Maybe there is a third (or even a fourth as well) one that just wasn't ready to preview yet is what I and a few people I know are thinking.

[Arkat]

Urban Ranger :eek: nah, I guess probably not. Probably some dark, evil something variant of a class.

I love the idea of the Urban Soul in D&D v3.5 and the Urban Ranger archetype in Pathfinder, especially in a BIG city game.

Playing an Urban Soul in Waterdeep or an Urban Ranger in Absalom are games I would dearly love to play in PnP.

Just personality, if there are permanent bonuses to get, even if they don't really help me, I feel the need to grab em. I do have 99RP atm, so a bit of work to go there, but I figured I'd grab some when sitting at cap, usually just do a few quests and then TR post haste.

Archetype past life count as the base class for completionist, so you do not have to do a single life as an archetype if you do not want to for your completionist.

I mean full full completionist (x3 of all heroic, racial, epic, and iconic). There are 174 TRs all counted, until they add these new archtypes, so when I say one left I mean 173/174.

That is a you thing, not a DDO thing :p

Yes

Lammania is ALWAYS for feedback.

If feedback is given on Lammania and no developer cares to hear it, does it really matter?

[Xezom]

Should post the lam notes today anyway to get an idea of what to look forward to and start theory crafting (and help the wiki editors get a jump on what's to come).

Also, you can't complain about a problem you yourself are making. I mean you can, but :rolleyes:

Definitely sounds like there are at least 3 total with the way this reads. Kinda like being able to play half of the quests of an expansion on first preview and get the second half on the second.

The optimist side of me is looking forward to the new play styles, the pessimist side is not looking forward to the Sonic Blast-esque collateral damage.

Lammania is ALWAYS for feedback.

Lammania has always been a preview server. It's not for testing, and the only time it's for feedback is when it's specifically asked for (usually by Lynnabel when there are multiple weeks/stages of previews).

We WISH it was for testing, and treat it as such, but from everything I've seen and read and experienced over the years, the dev's default position on Lammania seems to be Lam is for previews, not testing/feedback.

I mostly thought about "beast mastery hunter" but yea... SSG maybe do somting else...

[Smokewolf]

Sorry! We'll have release notes and other preview information tomorrow when we're ready to open. Expect to see the first two new Archetypes available for an early preview tomorrow!

Not even a hint huh?

My guess would something Warlock or Fighter related.

[Gordo]

Please note: When they said tomorrow, yesterday -tomorrow isn't really over until 23:59 tonight so there's that.

[archerforever]

Any news ?

[Fenix93]

Any news ?

I'm not playing DDO but I always like to see game updates... more classic modules content would be interesting...

[cmecu]

Like a tree falling in the woods and no one is around to hear does it really make a sound? :D

[lancil]

Would be nice to see a Samurai or a Rune Knight to the fighter maybe :D
or, who knows, a Arcane Trickster... I may like that hehehe :cool:

[capsela]

No, it didn't say anything.

[shmagmhar]

I hope the new warlock archetype is hexblade . thanks for listening to my suggestions
