Happy 15th Anniversary DDO! We are excited to reach this milestone and are ever-thankful to our players for making this possible. Today I'll be talking about some of our plans for the rest of the...

Greetings! As our players have read, Enad Global 7 (EG7) entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Daybreak Game Company today. We are excited about EG7 and we welcome them into our...

I can't post personally as much as I'd like with either game like because I am doing less fun (but important) studio stuff.

Feywild is coming and the team is busy preparing all the goodies and...

Wayfinder experienced a significant issue during our data center work today that caused character data to be corrupted going back to the morning hours Eastern of July 15th. In order to correct this...

We are entering a new decade with grand plans for Dungeons & Dragons Online, and I am writing today to share some of our ideas with you. The past decade-plus has been an amazing adventure, and we...

Greetings,

Thank you for the feedback on our current Lamannia deployment. I wanted to clarify some things and respond to some player feedback.

There has been some concern by players, based on...

This patch note example is incorrect, and I apologize for that. There is no change to the randomized formula on live. The only change from live is that creatures on Reaper will have an additional +4...

Some notes based on discussion in this thread:

~ On a Hardcore server you will not be able to enter a dungeon if your level is more than 4 levels higher than the base challenge rating. ("Base"...

Hey all,

We just got back from GenCon and we are catching up on player and Q/A bugs:

The math for XP has been adjusted so the XP matches live:

~ The first time bonus for normal XP earned on...

Greetings! Thanks for the feedback. Some notes:

~ It is not our intention to reduce the rate at which characters gain Reaper XP. We intend to boost Reaper XP to make up for the loss of the Reaper...

Greetings! I’m excited today to share a look at our 2019 road map, featuring a new expansion, new quests, a new race, and more! DDO enters its 13th year with a passionate player base and a...

Caster pass is coming. It won't all happen immediately, but you are likely to see some good changes hopefully in the next big update. We are eyeing an update before the end of the year. As always,...

This didn't get merged into the live brach; the testing happened on our internal servers but it didn't make it to live. You will see it for the next update.

I apologize for the mess up.

Changes to max HP and SP are touchy and often require special case code to make sure updates don't cause HP or SP loss. We had to rewrite both Favored Soul feats from scratch with custom code to work...

The plan is to have future content where the weapons can be upgraded. While we want these weapons to ultimately be really good, we don't want a normal quest to drop weapons that are too good out of...

On the Mac side the client is already 64 bit; we *will* need to update the launcher and the patch DLLs though.

That's my fault. Sometimes if I have a lot of meetings or calls we will send out an initial response after a short hallway meeting so players see dev participation. So people are trying to...

Our current thought - which totally needs vetting and testing - is maybe Reapers are changed to have Detect Invisibility plus a huge Spot and Listen instead of the detection method they use now, and...

Let me elaborate, since I think the dev posts had stealth completions in mind and not Assassin play style.

Because Reaper XP rewards are heavily based on quest completion, we don't want to make...

It depends on how the specific loot table was set up. I won't be able to, in the near term, report on the specific drop rate of all the individual items people want to know about in any reasonable...

I will bring that up with Tolero.

In general I tend to think that items that encourage people to run content are okay for Daily Dice rolls. I actually like these better than XP rewards because it...

We felt that there were too few intermediary rewards on the daily dice table so we created some things we thought the players would like. Adding consumable items to Daily Dice that the players find...

This is a bug that will be fixed in the next (full) build. It should be capping at 2 million plat, and it should also slowly be reducing over time if you wait long enough.
