Lynabels fix to Shield Rush not in there?

Lynabels fix to Shield Rush not in there?

Nope, a lot of the stuff in the most recent week was completed too recently to make this update cycle. Don't worry, it'll make it in to live - eventually!

[Captain_Wizbang]

. Don't worry, it'll make it in to live - eventually!

ok, I'll be patient one more time for it.

Did you add the imp trip modifier for shield rush? I dont like posting on these threads, but when it's important to me after all Ive waited for, the question needs to be asked.

[zehnvhex]

Great stuff. Excellent patch.

- Any chance we could get the weapon display 'glitch' for warlocks as an optional toggle at some point? I really liked being able to see my weapons.

- Any status update on the hitching and memory leak issues? Like are we in for the long haul on this? You guys have identified the cause? Or are we still in a 'it'll be fixed when it's fixed' stage? Is there something we can do to help like submitting certain info?

"Rescuing Bookbinder family members in Bookbinder Rescue is now optional, and failing to do so does not fail the quest."

LAME

How about paying the ransom upon entering?

[J1NG]

I also don't see the Vampirism issue for Warforged either. *sad*

Am I reading the Litany part correctly that we no longer need to flag each live but only once?

[Enerdhil]

Would be nice to see stealer of souls flag updated one day.

*Rescuing Bookbinder family members in Bookbinder Rescue is now optional, and failing to do so does not fail the quest.

maybe its time to adjust NPC stats? I'm not aware of any changes since before Champions were introduced. is Lars Heyton and Maxwell next? should have at least made saving NPCs as optional xp. my biggest issue with Bookbinder was the mobs breaking down the doors before you did sometimes or when you have the rogue hire breaking down the doors when you tell them to disable the traps.

*Flagging for Litany of the Dead has been updated! When talking to Sir Rohine in order to turn Sigil Fragments in, players can now trade their copy of a completed Sigil for a new Fused Sigil. This allows players to use the Fused Sigil instead of the eight separate Sigil fragments to enter Litany of the Dead on subsequent lives. Fused Sigils are Bound to Character. Players currently flagged for Litany of the Dead will need to True Reincarnate and turn in a completed Sigil in order to get this new item.

Necro 4 used to be very popular because of the loot and xp. when the loot became outdated it was still popular because of the xp. now I hardly ever see anyone running this content today. I know its not because of the constant re-flagging for Litany because the xp in those 4 flagging quests is still very good for its level. its really difficult to get groups to run all 4 quests. I always end up soloing Inferno and Vol. I guess I'll have to pause BB and run the other 2 on normal or just do it as a higher level when I can use multiple hires/pets for Fleshmakers so I can get this Fused Sigil. this will only make those 4 quests popular briefly so players can farm Litany xp, but the grouping problem will continue.

Nice patch!

I like you increased droprates on tomes and not directly
Made them to store! This will make the raids live longer
Even after you have got the items you want.

Awesome for the raiding imho!

[vryxnr]

Hooray for lots of bug fixes! YAY!

... however...

I also don't see the Vampirism issue for Warforged either. *sad*

This also makes me sad.

Also also, I was kinda hoping the cosmetic sets was wai (though it was a stretch I know). Makes me sad again that warforged/bladeforeged tanks are excluded from the Knight of the Shadows set. Why are they excluded from this set? *puppy-dog eyes*

[C-Dog]

Pretty clear to me...

But wow - if you think there's a problem now finding an LFM for that, imagine in a month, once all the vets are perma-flagged.

"Rescuing Bookbinder family members in Bookbinder Rescue is now optional, and failing to do so does not fail the quest."

LAME

Yeah, I never saw this as overly difficult. Fail sometimes, but hardly something that needed "fixing" - screwing up a quest is screwing up a quest.

[3dent]

"Corrected an issue in Lines of Supply that will allow us to reopen the quest."
But will it be actually open after this patch, or is this some intermediate fix that would allow to open it Soon?

• Ravenloft Docents now drop with their proper Enhancement bonus.

But what about existing docents? Will these be fixed retroactively, or will I need to farm up another one?

[Mindos]

• Tomes:
  
  • The drop rate of tomes has been increased in Curse of Strahd, Old Baba's Hut, Defiler of the Just, and Riding the Storm Out.
  • Ravenloft raids now have a higher drop rate for +8 Ability Tomes and +7 to +8 Upgrade Tomes.
  • Riding the Storm Out and Defiler of the Just can now drop +7 Tomes and +6 to +7 Upgrade Tomes.

So where do the +6 tomes drop again?

[QuantumFX]

So where do the +6 tomes drop again?

The DDOStore, obviously!

[Razor_Wit]

Litany has for some time not required flagging. If you have a full sigil, you can Litany. No requirement to run the quests. Of course you do need to flag for Abbot. The "carry-over" sigil change is welcome.

Bookbinder is one of a few quests in the game that can stop a party in its tracks, often wipe you. *remembering that intersection in Newcomers* With no fear of auto-fail- I would assume it's less interesting now.

Yeah, making it optional is a bit much. Just make the NPCs cower in fear and not run off picking fights with everything. That alone would be enough.

[EllisDee37]

Do the Ravenloft raids show up in the compendium yet?
