Lamannia Updated - 9/29

[Thoon]

In preparation for the big event on September 30th, at 7:30pm Eastern time in Delera's Graveyard, Lamannia has been updated with a new build.

The Lamannia Update 7 release notes have been updated, with several items added to the general notes, and a number of Lamannia-only entries at the bottom.

As you'll see, many of the issues that were bug reported over the last week have been addressed. I am personally reading each bug report and routing it to the right place. While we can't guarantee that all bugs reported will be fixed for Update 7, we are trying to get to as many as we can.

Thank you to everyone who has actually submitted bug reports. Player input, through these bug reports and forum feedback threads, is invaluable to us. Though it has kept me up late at night, and had me up early in the morning, I thank you for putting in the extra effort.

Sadly we do not have a new Lamannia installer available today. Getting an new installer is a long process and we are trying to be as careful as we can be before putting a new one out. I will let you know as soon as one is available.

Update 7 requires some updated DirectX files in order to support DX11. The launcher will attempt to find the files on your PC and update as necessary.

Still no fix for Pale Masters to overcome their own spell resistance, buggy numbers on Death Aura, or being completely immune to healing if Death Ward is cast? EDIT: or eating spell absorption charges from a Silver Flame necklace, etc...although just removing spell pen checks from the Death Aura, since it IS a damage spell, would fix one of the problems...

I'm having another issue with the Half Elf, is the "Facial Hair" still supposed to be part of the facial detial, is it still supposed to be non-color coordinated with your character's hair, and the black haired beard I was using has been changed to blonde scruffy?

I though this would actually be imporved, I'm further disappointed.

Can you tell me whether or not this was intended?

We are aware of these issues and the development team is working to address them. I can't say whether they will make it until Update 7 though.

Is there a way I can call the account management people to see if they can take care of my problem with them being "archived"?

Ok, after reviewing the character gen screen, I have to think that still isn't WAI as the mustache is gone and we have some different beards with different colors, can we get a confirmation that this is not working properly still?

Awesome, thanks so much for telling us!

Cool, did you roll back the TOD change too? Cuz that would be just awesome.

Oh well.. thanks for trying to push that through also. I appreciate that you probably want to avoid putting out anything that screws things up further.

There are a lot more things we'd like to do with the facial details on half-elves, but not all of them are likely to make it into the final release. In the current build some new beards have replaced the mustaches. That could change further. Color matching of the facial details to the hair colors will not likely make final release, but the magicians in art and the tech behind it could perform some magic and make it happen.

Coin Loid Favor: Characters who were at the Coin Lord favor level prior to U7 should now receive the Coin Lord Finishing School Feat on their first log in to U7.

Thank you for getting this done - and quickly!

I don't mind Lesser'ing my Pally for Intimidate as a Class Skill, but loosing this because I already hit 600 favor (and would have to TR again just to get it ) was WRONG!

Thanks for the reply, though I gave some bad ratings of this character in gen, I would love to see you all do the best you can with it. You all have done a great job with this update and I hope that the folks there can keep it up!

Sorry if I seem a bit obsessed with this subject, but this race is the one that is most important to me personally and I don't mean to be forcefull or mean about anything you do, because like I said you all have done a terrific job!

Thanks for listening, I hope you can get done what you can,

Any official updates to the ToD change would be appreciated.

"nullreferenceexception

object reference not set to an instance of object"

That part is already in the notes. There are no further changes is what he was saying.

From the release notes: The Touch of Death damage effect is now classified as Negative Energy and possesses a Fortitude Save for half damage.
