Fact or Fiction, Rumor Control's latest rumblings

[Captain_Wizbang]

I've heard we are getting a new Paladin. Dark Paladin "Oathbreaker" from what Ive heard.

I've heard we will be able to craft out own augments.

I've heard poison is going to be reworked with prefixes and suffixes. So we can know what type, where it comes from, and what is immune.

I've heard we're getting a new social panel.

I've heard Otto's Boxes are going on sale along with double points for the weekend.

I've heard "Raiding the Giants Vault" on "The Isle of Forgotten Dreams" is being "epified" and turned into a raid.

Oathbreaker? What is that some homebrewed version of Blackguard?

Interesting on poison; will that include poison damage as an effect, not just the stat damage poisons?

An "Oathbreaker" is a paladin who breaks their sacred oaths to pursue some dark ambition or to serve an evil power (Strahd?).

Re Poison....... see thread title

To my knowledge, almost none of this is currently in the works.

Sounds more like a player wish list.

As someone who has tracked rumors for a while let me provide some clarification

I've heard we are getting a new Paladin. Dark Paladin "Oathbreaker" from what Ive heard.

A Dark Paladin was mentioned a while back by a dev in one of the Pod Cast. If my memory serves me correctly the Dark paladin was one of many ideas being bounced around as a potential Iconic Characters. There has been no further mention of it that I am aware of and we are getting a Aasimir Ranger.

I've heard we will be able to craft out own augments.

I have never heard a Dev specifical suggest this, but it has long been a player request. The argument against is the augment system is fairly complicated back end and would require a great deal of work to make something like this possible.

I've heard poison is going to be reworked with prefixes and suffixes. So we can know what type, where it comes from, and what is immune.

Again somewhere around a year ago a Dev throughout a comment about adding more poisons, diseases, and curses into the game and offering various ways to remove them. Again i believe this was shot down during that discussion by another dev asking what would that level of complexity bring to the game.

I've heard we're getting a new social panel.

Long Rumored and over due. Probably like item 12,453 on the to do list when sorted by priority however.

I've heard Otto's Boxes are going on sale along with double points for the weekend.

I heard Triple Points

I've heard "Raiding the Giants Vault" on "The Isle of Forgotten Dreams" is being "epified" and turned into a raid.

At one point the entire game was going to be epicified, including Water Works, that was long before Sev who has made it clear that new content would be the focus.

I believe your memory of a dark paladin iconic was me suggestion a Vampire Blackguard of Vol as an iconic a while back. As it'd check a few things on the wishlist box for folks. Blackguards, an actual vampire deal (not to mention being able to use those sweet sweet vampire faces).

Thanks, but I think your tuque is a size too small.

Everything I posted is a proven rumor, and needs no player explanation. However, I will give you credit for separating the discussion points, so kudos GG.

gave out too much rep today, sorry GG. I owe you one

*I* heard the next race is going to be werepandas!

[Cordovan]

Vampire bears. Like vampires, but bears.

Note that this isn't happening, but I personally wish it were.

[Enoach]

The "plausible deniability" is strong with this one

If anything bring us Tiefling player race before "Blackguard"/Anti-Paladin

Oddly, I think i'd feel better about those than any other kind...

<walk,walk,walk>
CRASH, GRAR!

AAAAGH! BEARS! RUN!

AAAGH! TOO SLOW! GOOD...wait, he's not eating me, he's...drinking...my...okay, a little odd, but better than getting mauled and eaten. So do I become a vampire? A wearbear? All of the above? Hmm...this could be cool.

And this is why we don't let the rogue be the guinea pig

Well *I* can't help it, I'm a monk, I run faster than everyone.

Werewombats!

[fmalfeas]

Give us...Mercykillers! And Sensates! And Dustmen!

[KoobTheProud]

Can we have Manbearpigs?? Humans bitten by a werebear that had just eaten a boar. At the full moon they'd turn into an absurd yellow-skinned rotund oaf.
