U20 Nov 12?

[ZzpxpzZ]

So, Massively just posted today that update 20 is going to launch next Tuesday, has anyone heard anything from any other sources that corroborate that?

I didn't notice any Turbine posts or anything indicating it was coming out on Tuesday so I was wondering where they may have gotten their information.

Typical Turbine the left side has no idea what the right side is doing.

I got a tip this morning, announcement soon.

You have to realize giving the press a scope on a hot story, provides more coverage overall.
People link up, lights up their website = more for them.
In return they cover stuff other times.

Hey, its the advertising world?


But yes, the tip was a good source, so this is probably correct.

Players will log in next Tuesday to find a beefier enhancement screen as well. The team's added a fifth level for each tree, although players will be limited to accessing this level in only one of their trees.

Huh??

I have to agree with this. It doesn't really hurt if a third party gets the release information a day or so before us. It's part of the "you scratch my back, I scratch your back" that helps both parties. Massively hopes to get an influx of DDO players to hit their website; Turbine hopes that the article will pique interest in their game(s).

I'm more upset about the schizophrenic way that deals and coupons get done. They'll throw deals up on Twitter and/or Facebook with no mention on the forums. I understand that they might want to make social media more active, but to ignore the forums with the deals is asinine. The forums/website should be the main place for such things and the other social media should be the peripheral stuff to spread the message faster. It's completely backwards.

Strange to see the release date posted there first instead of the ddo forum.

i won't buy this pack, the items are still underpowered, the epic destinie pastlives too weak. The exp a tad bit low for its level.

Dev's were informed about this but ignored it.



Good to see an actual Eberron quest for a change, forgotten realms were so poorly written the past years.

You won't have to buy it. It is free to all. Tolero already said this on her community video.

Gear still needs work though

Yes, it needs more ghostbane, for sure.

I fixed my signature to give an idea how much ghostbane exactly is needed.

Yeah yeah, that's all well and good, but I say again:

Huh??

[Shinjiteru]

I couldn't care less if they give the date to a fansite 1-2 days before posting it in the official forums.

What really bothers me is that they still have some epic PLs in the update which are just too weak.
The weakest one is a big desaster though:

Double shot: it somehow shows that the devs are not in touch with the game. Nearly every viable ranged toon is using weapons or skills that massively reduce the double shot chance... so yeah this is an epic PL stance which is only usefull for some gimp toons where the 6% doubleshot isn't going to change anything? (Farming 18M XP to get there and sticking to such a build... doubt that such a toon would find many groups he could join and soloing with ranged... doubt that he will be able to even get a epic hard streak going.)
This PL really looks like the devs responsible for this wouldn't know about the current ranged mechanics and that a decent ranged toon is better off with not caring about double shot because most of the time it doesn't work for them or has a standard penalty on double shot (repeaters). And there were enough players mentioning that, so no one cared about the feedback?
+2 ranged damage would have been much better, but the double shot chance...

I am already wondering if this is a joke from some dev. First they take the viability of double shot chance from the ranged builds and then they add a stance for more double shot... :S

So yeah, I still think the Epic PLs need some tweaking.

Yeah this is disappointing, Massively usually have 'some' idea of how the game work. This shows that they are completely clueless to recent mechanics...

Huh??

My guess is it's an error and they were introduced to the Eldritch caster tree .....thats all.

Some awesome stuff in this update, and some real stinkers.
