Sounds like U18-2. Any preliminary information if finally the kobolds in Boudry´s and the flame eaters in Spinner´s got tamed?

The Lama notes say they've fixed Spinner "Overpowered" Bug. Didn't see anything about kobold box breaker union appeasement for Baudry. There was a report from someone on Lama that Wail works well again.

IT will be a patch right? I mean not really an update like lets say the new content, or quest xp changes or enhancements right? Just asking cause i am confused with the meaning of the patch and update in DDO.

[TheNameIwasntB4]

Hoping for the best, but I understand.

[Cordovan]

This will be for Update 18 Patch 2.

Might be a fix, might be a nerf. nothing we can do

i Hope Fixes Only and not nerfs.

does anyone know if spell crits are fixed? (ie are lore items working again) it trying to play low level arcanes has been even more horrible than normal lately.

I really don't know anything about the update, but the latest Lama release notes are here, I think: http://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread...d-6-19-2013%29

I'm guessing that's some of the stuff they've been working on. I'd wait for the official notes before getting too excited over any specific changes though.

Totally unrelated, I can't wait for the Arcanotechnician Artificer enhancement tree; I keep looking over the beta stuff excitedly. Shadowfell, hurry up and get here! <3

I know it won't happen, but they need to get the enhancement pass out already. Too many irons in the fire if you ask me with the expansion, the new TR system they all of the sudden prioritized and the normal rush to fix anything that gives players an advantage, and the slow to non-moving fixes for things that give players a disadvantage. I would appreciate it if they addressed at least one of the bigger issues that people have been discussing for years and years.... However, there is no money in that I guess so... more cosmetic pets and costumes!!!! Realize we have had 2 quests and 1 pre-paid expansion preview quest since Epic Gianthold... which was 1 new raid and Epic update to old content. The last really NEW content was the Highroad stuff.... no surprise my server, Sarlona, seems a bit less populated these days.

Maybe hey will fix forum names that are still broken. I know the one for my main subscription has been broken since they changed the forums and it has bee over a month since I last heard anything about it being fixed. Also, they could reset character copy for Lamannia while they are at it. However that won't matter much to me if I can't copy the characters I want from main subscription. I created a temporary forum name for it but it just points to characters associated with this forum name.

Those are pretty short notes. And none of them address any of the issues I'm hoping they fix in the near future. Hopefully some of those get added in, or are stealth fixed. In all honesty, I'm going to be kind of irritated if they still haven't fixed Baudry's in this patch.

Is anybody else wondering where & how the release notes will be made available during the downtime if all websites and forums will be down?

More copy & paste/lack of attention to details, kind of like calling a patch an update?

Hello

I have been trying to launch DDO but it keeps failing, some guildies experience the same problem: we see "turbine invoker" appear and disapper from windows processes, and it's stuck. Restarting the computer a couple of time was useless.
Thanks in advance if you can help us.

Just quit using the official launcher and look for the unofficial-yet-much-more-functionnal launcher already.

I found the following in the Release Notes:

Spell Critical Enhancements for chance and damage multipliers should be both displaying the correct text and functioning correctly for all classes.

Yet in-game, my enhancements are still saying I'm only getting +3% spell critical chance for 6 Action Points spent. Previously, +3% spell critical chance only cost 1 Action Point.

Am I to understand the Release Notes as meaning this major nerf is working as intended?

[Hoiii]

Cleric Prayer of Smiting I,II and III are still 1% per rank instead of 3%.

Also after casting spells weapons are not displayed again until a weapon swing is made. Only spell Ive found so far that this does not happen is Rejuv Cocoon.

And still no fix for lore items.
