Lamannia Update: EARLY Enhancements Preview

[SqueakofDoom]

Lamannia will be coming down for an update on April 11 between 10am and 2pm EST (GMT -5).

This Update will contain an Early Preview of Enhancements on Lamannia. For the next three weeks, you, the players, will have the opportunity to get an early look at our upcoming Enhancements revamp. While Racial Enhancement Trees will be available for the entire time, Class Enhancements will be distributed throughout the weeks as follows:

Week 1 (April 11 – 17):

• Artificer
• Cleric
• Fighter
• Ranger

Week 2 (April 18 – 24):

• Druid
• Favored Soul
• Rogue
• Sorcerer
• Wizard

Week 3 (April 25 – May 1):

• Barbarian
• Bard
• Monk
• Paladin

These Class Enhancements will only be available during the weeks specified. During the off weeks, they will be disabled in order to allow us to get more focused feedback. There will be Surveys and Sub-Forums available to you, and we highly encourage you to use them.

Keep in mind that this is an EARLY PREVIEW! There will be bugs!

I know you guys are real busy making this as good as possible, but can we get some sort of text or other type of preview to see what enhancements we can pick for all classes before and during the preview? (Like something we would see on a wiki?)

That being said, real exciting! I cant wait to see this come about!

One of the most important aspects of the Enhancement system is how they will interact in various multiclass builds - both today's builds, and new builds based on the changes. Keeping them isolated in stages will really hamper this feedback; will there later be a feedback stage with all classes enabled and multiclass can be addressed?

Yes later this year there will be a 'free for all' phase.

Nifty!

I had a whole evil thing for this, but my heart wasn't in it.
Thanks, Squeak!

Wha? When did that happen? Did that last thread convince Cordovan that reader/poster quality of life is more important than Google stats?

Sweet!

I understand the phased roll-out; fewer variables means better exception isolation. Testing these things must be an arduous task. I do not envy your position.

Best response EV4R!

later this year as in sometime in may after the 'early preview', or after the expansion which is set for summer? it was already stated that there would be an extended lam visit for the enhancement pass but I still hoped it'd make it in for the expansion, but gotta admit that it doesnt seem likely with the wording... is it even a definite that it will be finished this year?

I'd rather they have it on Lamannia for months than release buggy enhancement.

Unlike EDs, bugged enhancements would ruin a lot of characters.

I am sure developers are aware that highly bugged enhancements could lead to an unplayable game and they won't release them until 100% sure they work 1000% as intended.

That's why this feature is taking so long and will have to wait some more months in my opinion.

Said that, you did a good thing reminding that to us all

[Antheal]

Later this year?

So does that mean we can't even expect the enhancement revamp to go live until next year?

This really needs to be one of those things that's released when it's done, not pushed out by manager types because it's a nice bullet point on the back of an expansion box.

These changes have the potential to screw up a lot of characters that have done some interesting contortions to fit prerequisites for unusual PrE combo's (like my Elven FvS AA), needless to say it needs to be old news by the time it's published or lots of people will be blind sided... a long public beta of sorts is a excellent way to get the news out there and also discover the worst of the "breakage" and either fix it or at least let players of those characters know it's going bye bye.
