[Thoon]

Lamannia will be down on Thursday, April 14th, between 10am and 2pm EDT (GMT-0400) to receive a new build.

What sort of things will be in the new build? Release notes will be provided when Lamannia comes back online. But here are two entries from the notes:

• Deep Slumber is now an enchantment.
• Dismiss now works on symbol of persausion.

[Ridag]

Will "thee" notes be written entirely in ye olde English?

Can't wait to see the refinement on Lam!

EDIT: Well now the first part of my comment makes no sense, but that's ok someone was kind enough to rep me for it!

Does this may mean you'll be giving dismiss charm to clerics?

Does this also mean that symbol of persuasion will have its duration ubernerfed in epic like other charm effects?

I haven't cast it on purpose in a couple months given its interaction with scroll drops, so, no big loss now.

In fact, I'm about to rage-drop it on live because i only cast the spell by mistake now and then have to break enchant my mobs to actually kill them.

SoP, your heydey was fun while it lasted.

oh good. i was worried for a second there that they might actually be going someplace with this "removing blanket immunities from epics" binge they've been on.

but now i can rest assured that not only has SoP been nerfed for my sorcerer in terms of cooldown, and losing extend, now i can take comfort in the fact that it's actually also completely useless on the only mobs i would have ever taken it for in the first place.

go ahead, devs: nerf away! you've already gotten rid of the one time SoP was actually useful, feel free to add a hit dice cap of 0 or something like that, it's not like the spell will see any less use!

Junts, you were that kid in school that reminded the teacher they forgot to assign homework weren't you?

He STILL IS that kid

[Gratch]

Any chance epic scroll drop %'age increases (even slightly) if you bring friends?!!!

HATE SOLO FARMING part of game.

HATE.

I miss Xoriat.

I guess my dream that my AM wizzie with transmutation focus could use Deep Slumber besides Flesh To Stone was too early

Talk them into changing the transmutation archmage SLA's to

Feather Fall
Knock
Slow
Flesh to Stone
Disintegrate

That might make for some happier transmuters.

[Junts]

Shhhhh!

Persuasion has been a liability since the scrol change anyway. I don't use it now that it effectively harms scroll drops. You guys do know that Mons killed while charmed or by a charmed mob cannot give you a scroll right? Tats why people thought droprates had dropped.

...What sort of things will be in the new build? ...

Are there by any chance, any crafting changes in this version?

Why do they call it a build? For me, a build is a way to make a character, type of character(eg:Exploiter build, Clonk build, Tempest TrapMonkey build)

ps: sorry bout this not really being the right thread

When you finish doing some coding...

You compile or "build" a new .exe. That means converting the code from C++/.net (think thats what ddo uses) into machine code a computer can understand.

So it's a new "build"

Everytime they do a new exe to test, its a new build.. They're have probably been thousands of builds of the .exe, tho obviously much less official updates.

Just some industry lingo.

Basically means its a new update. Tho in this case its probalby just a newly updated client .exe, and some small updates to the .dats, without any major changes.

Hopefully bug fixes for things such as melee specials not procing glancing blows, or helplessnless not increasing them..

... Hopefully bug fixes for things such as melee specials not procing glancing blows, or helplessnless not increasing them..

About glancing blows and helplessness (I may be wrong) ...

In the "Sneak Attack Damage Not Increased from Helplessness?" Cordovan replied that glancing blows were not getting the 50% bonus either (post #98) after Thoon said SA weren't getting the bonus for balance sake (post #72), so i don't think they are classifying it as a bug to fix.

Fix (revert back) halfling female running animation? (was it nerfed at u1?)

PS: I still can't understand why just halfling FEMALE animation nerfed and male not...?
