Community Managers have the option of whether their posts show up in the Dev Tracker or not.

My guess is Frelorn forgot to turn it on for this post.

You've GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!?

2 days for balance changes to be tested on lamannia?

Can you guys please start listening to players? A balance patch with this many ramifications shouldn't be rushed out the door. I beg you to listen to your playerbase for once.

They won't listen to the playerbase because they are more interested in nerfing everything. And with this patch starts the death of DDO it was fun while it lasted.

release notes?

[Ykt]

Are they including Intelligence/Charisma in the DC calculation for Paralyzing arrow? Or they staying on Wisdom only?

[Clemeit]

Huge new feat options for fighters.

I'd really like to see a Lesser Heart in my inventory when I log back in... I don't think we should all have to buy them when so much is being changed.

You're implying it's rocket science, it's not. The balance changes they're making are completely trivial to gauge if you've managed to pass high school math and have even a basic understanding of how the game operates. Lamania was used to catch coding bugs, not to check for balance. Balance could be checked with a calculator and 5 minutes by a competent developer. Listening to you people whine and ***** and you don't have even the foggiest idea what you're talking about is as funny as it is sad.

Brought to you by the same people who gave us Infinite Crisis.

release notes?

They are uploaded 1-2 hours after patch hits live. Always has been this way. Personally I'd prefer if we were informed about them during downtime.

Apologies but I cant hold back here. its the same math used when they nerfed blitrz, people like yourself putting up equations saying its not a nerf blah blah blah. and what happened to blitz? NERFED!!!!!!!!!
Then the next one to drop what the holy sword, look at the math... NERFED!!!!!!
Before that was to Quivering Palm, and monks are broken since the PRR/MRR introduction.
and now you put up new math equations and people are saying its not too bad and I know after the update it will be NERFED!!!!

Now I know I am being negative here, and apologies, as yes I am angry. but I would like to say 2 things that are lacking here which needs to be addressed.
Number 1, concentrate on spending time boosting the classes that that are behind, this is achieving balance rather than nerf everything so that everything is not working or worth investing in.
Number 2, If you want to stop the splash classes from being OP, then concentrate on the pure classes. This means that a pure rogue should have the best achievable evasion and saves. because the player has specialized in the class. ALL 20 LEVELS. So a splash class can not achieve this as they didn't specialize in the class.

Anyways, will see after the patch update to see what is working and not working.
Thanks guys see you ingame.

and what happened to blitz? NERFED!!!!!!!!!

I laugh everytime I read "they NERFED blitz!!!!oneone!!". I mean it's an epic MOMENT that you can now keep up through an entire quest doing absolutely nothing but hitting the mobs. Almost every other epic moment has 30 sec duration, 5 minutes cooldown with measures preventing another activation within that time or number of uses per rest. You cry that you do 5-10% damage less (if even) but completely overlook the fact that it's the single epic moment you can easily maintain throught the whole quest. What's more, there was an outcry of people before saying that they can't Blitz thought the whole quest and what did the Devs do? They upped the initial counter when activating.

Just compare the version of Blitz right after MotU was released and todays' one. It's so laughable.

Thank you for fast update
