MajMalphunktion....Hints for this?

It may or may not involve Kobolds.

Kobold hireling ?

[Vengeance777]

Og I want one

Theres an Invincibility buff you can get as well from the challenge quests. Got one from an orb after breaking a barrel. 1 minute of complete immunity to damage, spells, melee, and self inflicted. Was awesome.

Best new item ever:



It's in DDO now =)

QUAD DAMAGE!

tho it's more of a buff then an item..

I want a clicky that gives me that.

I was happy about that, but no , that is not it. Glad we still call it a Quad tho.

[Cam_Neely]

If its real why did they use the rage icon once more?...

^This. Very lame and lazy coding yet again.

[Yan_PL]

Wow, I got this in the challenge and didn't even think to read the description. How many more FPS references could they squeeze in there?

not sure, but it surely calls for duty of counter-striking territories of enemies. You might even get a medal for your deeds during the crysis, for breaking into fortress of evil team residents... I'd expect no less than choir of angels, each with bright halo over their heads.

Kobold Gem of Disguising
Use this special gem to produce a magical effect that allows you to disguise yourself as a kobold worker! While disguised you appear to be carrying purple crystals and will automatically attract the notice of enemies in the area. The effect disappears if you attack. Useable in collection challenges.
25 TP

And it is AWESOME!

Now, make it work OUTSIDE of the challenges!

You do still take fall damage though.

If you hadn't noticed there are a LOT of missing icons from the new content not just this one. Lots of place holders.

Also this has NOTHING to do with coding, NOTHING! This has to do with the ART department.

Coders don't do art, artists do art. Coders will copy an existing piece of art to use as a place holder until they get the actual piece of art. I have done this many times before in my own coding.

Coders can't really sit there and wait for the icon art before they start the coding.

Is it lazy artists? Or is it more likely that the artists are still working on it (since this is a preview)? Yes there are still icons that need to be changed on live, but would you rather have the artists working on those, or the new monsters, terrain, etc for the next update?

Of course they could hire more artists... But its not always as straight forward as that.

Got it. A rune arm that fires kobolds. Yeah, pretty sweet.

That would be *awesome*. The sound for the firing animation could be, "Kobold still haaaaattttteeeeeeeee yooooouuuuuuuuuuuu..............."

Ignore Cam Neely-he couldn't even win a Cup. Lazy Hockey playing.

Meh, wake me when I can actually carry the **** crystals myself. Or a burning incense torch so the Kobolds just follow me.

sounds cool, but attracting the enemy's attention? sounds painful

[Jarlaxis]

ding!

/agree with BoBo, Make it work outside the challenges, Kobold Kill Harry!

All Kobold Raids!

Of course you would have to remove the "Dissapears on attack" part of it

This strikes me as some groundwork for spells like change self and alter self while the dev team continues to work on adding shape changing abilities to the game.

Wait a second? Seriously?! I'm going to go get one and try this out RIGHT NOW!

[Ravoc-DDO]

My thoughts exactly!

So either soon te be expected:
- Druid class
- Kobold race

Hoping for both

[Coldin]

Just tried it out. Seems pretty cool actually. It's hard to say if it truly lays the groundwork for shape-shifting yet. Though, if they simply made the player model completely invisible, added more animations, tied attacking to a monsters actual attack....

*shrugs* Either way, it's very neat to see.

can I get this on clicky? I am on strict "not paying TP for consumables, only for somewhat permanent items" basis. But I would love a 3/rest clicky for 625 TP.

I think they have been laying the groundwork for quite some time. I certainly wouldn't call that shape shifting but it does look like another step in that direction, although that could also be my wishful thinking talking.
