Menace of the Underdark, Update 14 Patch 1 Event

[scoobmx]

I have been wondering this myself. Truly very odd.

Moreover, the relic weapons are meant to be combined with the Planar Focus trinkets to access the planar conflux ability, making those unusable on a monk also.

Heres hopin anyway.

I believe the pole arm counts as a quarter staff which is a ki weapon and thus usable by monks

And inferior to unarmed combat in most every way possible.

[Meretrix]

Ahh this makes me happy!

[Voldomar]

Are there relic handwraps now, or does an entire class still have no reason to run the new raid?

Not only monks, many twf toons will get nothing.
As far as I know there are no khopesh, scimitars and dwarven axes

[smatt]

Ahh this makes me happy!

Is it? IS IT? It can't be!!!!! Those are the main menu icons ON A HOT BAR!


YAHHHH!!!!!! Thank You Madfloyd!

Well that's more of a problem with quarterstaves than not having handwraps drop. If they made staff combat more appealing to monks, with more options from loot, enhancements, and destinies for staff combat, it wouldn't be a problem.

Awesome!

◦ Fixed a crashing issue when moving between quests or teleporting

From U 14 release notes.

My computer have not crashed more in all my years playing DDO. And by crashing I meamn blue screen windows 7 entire computer restart. Last might the computer had a VERY hard time coming back. I'm thinking it's really messing up my hard drive.

I have all updated drivers, clean register all that jazz. Since u 14 it's a headshot to my computer every now and then.

I'd love a confirmation from a dev saying - yeah - we really fixed it this time 'cause I don't want to replace hardware over this game.

Ok. You're right. My post should have stipulated that ~98% of monks (those that use handwraps) dont have a reason to run the new raid or pickup engame trinkets or bother getting the ultimate FR favor reward.

Better now?

If you are getting BSOD's it might be that the game installed poorly, but more likely your RAM is hosed. Have a go with MEMTEST86 over night.

Everything else I do works fine, game, utlility, applications - running computer 24x7 doing something.

It only happens when I play DDO and it happens like the release notes said about the fix; when moving from one area to another or teleporting.

[Jeromio]

Still no release notes?!?

[MrkGrismer]

They might actually have taken a holiday over the holiday.

OMG!

Same problem here, and at least two people in our vent have it as well.

Also seems to happen far more often when I alt+tab out of the game, and happens to my entire party when loading into the Menechtarun Desert.

Any updated ETA on the release notes.

Inquiring mushrooms want to know.

You forgot "Fix Ladder bug" at the very end of that list.
Or will that never happen at all ?

[Lord_Darquain]

Oh no, they fixed that, didn't you hear?

With the patch schedule to go live next Wednesday (from a post by Tolero), I'd hoped the Lama release notes would be up..

It gives me the impression that Turbine isn't fully aware of their own software.

How are we to test the functionality of the changes, when we aren't even aware of what was changed/fixed??

I suspect they are trying to get as much as possible into this particular patch, and just need to come up with a firm 'feature lock' deadline for the patch.

It is unfortunate tho that past experience indicates that probably won't happen until late tonight or tomorrow.

It is just a little odd that the patch is on Lam already but the notes aren't ready.
