U36 Patch 3 Second Preview with Release Notes

[Cocomajobo]

(EDIT 2: The second lamannia preview for U36 Patch 3 has now closed.

If you have any feedback please do so here in the Lamannia section of the DDO forums.

To report any bugs please visit the following link: https://help.standingstonegames.com/...s/requests/new)

(EDIT Lamannia is now open!

In the DDO store you can find placeholder listings for all three of:

- Vistani Knife Fighter
- Aasimar
- Iconic Aasimar: Scourge of the Undead

Which should give you access to preview those three features! In addition, the Night Revels has been enabled and can be found in House Jorasco.

We will likely be giving out a Coupon Code to redeem tomorrow that should give you all of the listed Ravenloft features in the Release Notes.)



Hello, all! We are currently waiting for a preview build to be ready and currently expecting to be able to open Lamannia late tonight with a second preview of some of the features coming to DDO in the near future! This preview should contain all of the following (Please note that some of this information may change after we have a chance to verify the build. Will edit if/when that happens):

Reincarnation: Improvements have been made to the reincarnation system to prevent loss of items while undergoing the process!

• Changes have been made to the way a player's inventory and bank are moved to the True Reincarnation cache during reincarnation. The process occurs upon first login after a reincarnation. The process is now more resilient against disconnects that occur at this time.
• If there is a problem and it detects that items were lost, a message will be displayed in the chat window at login.
• Customer service now has additional tools to identify and restore items lost in this process.

Night Revels: A variety of new additions have been added to the Night Revels this year!

•Deadly Blades: Your daggers and throwing daggers do an additional +1(W) of damage. You are centered when fighting with daggers.

Thank you, from me and all other monks, for this addition to the Vistani tree! I can now definitively say that I will be trying an Aasimar monk investing heavily in the Vistani enhancement tree.

Divine form: Scourge seems very weak.
Activate for 30 spell points (not actually cheap).
Then wait 40 seconds. (too minor benefit to notice it)
Then gain an effect that's weaker than normal action boost for 20 seconds. And it overlaps with several action boosts. And you pay with your life for upkeep.
Then for 10 seconds you get an effect that's bit stronger than usual action boost. Keep taking damage and vulnerability.
Then stop moving and deactivate the effect.

Then wait 110 seconds until you can use it again.

TL;DR
Weaker than action boost
Less uptime than action boost + long cooldown
Harder to use than action boost
Overlaps with common action boosts
Non-trivial spell point cost
Hit point upkeep and other detrimental effects
Requires active bond

Either I read the ability incorrectly or it needs more work.
Compare with Bladeforged T4 boost, Power of the Forge.

We want to know what you'd like to see for the new Iconic's Path, click here for details!

[DYWYPI]

I believe you meant: kni[f]e rather than "knive" or knives?

Vendetta: [...] Critical damage multiplier to your equipped daggers or throwing knive for 15 seconds. 60 second cooldown. ...

Interestingly, I'm not actually aware of generic throwing knives as an equipped thrown weapon option by Characters but Throwing Dagger does appear. The description mentioning "kni[f]e" possibly could confuse some people. Kukris are also essentially knives albeit I'd be surprised if it also includes kukri.

[*]A spooky variant of Coalescence Chamber has been added as the seventh Night Revels dungeon.

Aaaaaaaaah!! I think this is the scariest thing possible they could have come up with for Night Revels.

[Wizza]

This list is in an effort to be as open as possible about what work has been done so that you can more easily, at a glance, know what has changed since the first preview build instead of simply trying to parse the release notes as a whole

Appreciate that list.

Just a question: are Reaper XP changes coming with Ravenloft?

  • 2016 candy, ingredients, and non-store bought keys have been deprecated and can no longer be used. (Edit Note: color added}

*snip*

PLEASE tell me the new ingredients will be NON-expiring (with the possible exception of the chocolate and keys). Pretty, pretty, please??? Otherwise, you'll just exacerbate an already existing problem of 'not enough time so why even bother?' feelings of much of the player-base. Including and especially - but by no means limited to - me!!

[Arkat]

For "Blessings: +10/20/30 Positive Spell Power," make it a toggle that gives Light Spell Power instead of Positive Spell Power if you choose.

[cru121]

Scourge Weapons enhancement line ideas:
- add greatclub
- add options for non-TWF users (two handed, shield, empty hand, rune arm)

Strike Down the Dead: +1/2/3[w], single-target attack.. 15 second cooldown.
- add for 3/6/10 seconds, all your attack gain Weaken Undead: Each time this weapon deals damage to an undead creature, the target loses 20% of its fortification for the next 20 seconds. This effect does not stack with itself.

Yeah, Stacking Ninja Spy Poison DOTs and Vistani Bleeding DOTs is something I am, personally, looking forward to. =]

Divine form: Scourge seems very weak.

What sort of specific changes would you make to it if you could?

I believe you meant: kni[f]e rather than "knive" or knives?

Nice catch. The whole tree is laced with the term Throwing Knife now that I think of it.

Aaaaaaaaah!! I think this is the scariest thing possible they could have come up with for Night Revels.

That's the idea! Muahahahaha

Appreciate that list.

Just a question: are Reaper XP changes coming with Ravenloft?

I do not know the answer to that question! It's not currently on our feature list for U36 Patch 3 which is all that is consuming my life at the moment. There has been a lot of chatter about it in the office but that doesn't always result in immediate changes.

Disappointing, we have been asking RXP changes since February.

But thanks for the answer.

I'm just hoping they have something for cap once the actual Ravenloft content releases (when I'm playing moreso at cap).
Not really sure what they're thinking over. RXP epic seems slower per min than heroic by at least 2x (though you can get much larger chunks). RXP at cap is just blech.

• Iconic Race: Aasimar: Scourge of the Undead: A new iconic Forgotten Realms race which will be available in select (but not all) Ravenloft Expansion bundles and, at a later date, in the DDO store.
  
  • 
    
    • 
      
      • Scourge Weapons: You gain proficiency with Clubs, Light Maces, Heavy Maces, and Morningstars. If you are Good, any of these four weapons you wield are considered Good.
      • Improved Scourge Weapons: You gain 5% Doublestrike. If you have the Two Weapon Fighting feat, this grants the Oversized Two Weapon Fighting feat.
      
      
    • 
      
      • Greater Scourge Weapons: While dual-wielding Clubs, Light Maces, Heavy Maces, and Morningstars, you gain 5% chance to make off-hand attacks and 5% chance to doublestrike with your off-hand.
      • Destroyer of the Dead: Clubs, Light Maces, Heavy Maces, and Morningstars you wield gain a +1 Sacred Bonus to Critical Multiplier.
      
      

What about adding a way to apply WIS as your combat stat to racial weapons, similar to DEX/CON in elf/dwarf trees? Devs clearly intend Aasimar to be a WIS-based race. And since you can only use DEX with light maces, it precludes going the usual DEX route with an Aasimar ranger specializing in these blunt weapons.

[SerPounce]

[*]Favored Soul:

• Changed the name of the Favored Soul "Warpriest" enhancement tree to "War Soul". (This does not affect the Cleric tree which is still called "Warpriest")
• Added a multiselector to the "Divine Might enhancement under War Soul.
  
  • Divine Might: You gain an Insight bonus to Strength equal to your Charisma Modifier.
  • Divine Presence: Adds one half of Charisma modifier to melee damage and tactical DC's.
  • Divine Will: Adds one half of Wisdom modifier to melee damage and tactical DC's

Only melee damage? Is that right? Come on, why should such an ability be limited to melee?

[Arkat]

Only melee damage? Is that right? Come on, why should such an ability be limited to melee?

Because Divine Might has ALWAYS been that way.

Ingredients, Candy Clickies, and non-store bought keys will again, eventually expire.

Still a bad idea. IMHO this actually DISCOURAGES people from running this, rather than encouraging it. I know the last two years I got to a point where I didn't figure I'd be able to get enough for another item so I just... stopped. It was no longer worth my time. I'd see LFMs up, I'd see guildies running, and I'd simply not bother. With Cove, with Mabar, I'd go ahead and run some more, because I knew I'd be able to use the ingredients next time it rolled around. If all the ingredients are going to disappear, why bother going for more than precisely however many you need to make an item?

Make the clickies disappear; even make the keys disappear. But the ingredients? Other than *maybe* the easily-obtainable chocolate, no. That's just a slap in the face to us.

Also: Are the new items going to be able to be directly made at the desired level (like items from Cove, Challenges, and pretty much everything else), or are we going to be forced through the same upgrade path as the former Mabar loot? And what's the binding status on it? BtA and made directly, some of this stuff is definitely worth making. BtA and requiring the upgrade path, some of it will still be worth it. BtC in any capacity, and absolutely not worth it, and I'll just stick to making ghostbane augments.
