Update 39 Preview 2: Main Thread

[DYWYPI]

Several of the Hirelings within the U39 Lamannia Preview: 2, had frozen limbs and didn't have any "movement" animations... as per U39 Preview: 1.

I only had time to dip into two of the [U39] quests for several minutes; I won't do a full review, I'll just place some notes here.

Another Man's Treasure: the landfill looked fun visually and had a few interesting features like the waterslide. There did seem to be an invisible "missing" wall to a lever. Perhaps it was meant to have a barrier visual? The area probably looked little too clean for a "dump" but it certainly gave the impression of depth.


Memory Lapse: Succubae are always fun and there were quite a few humorous named monsters to contend with. I could imagine some of the quest being a little tedious as it was hunt items in large twisty areas. I'm not a great fan of Mario moving platform jumping within DDO, as my Rogues aren't STR based. It was creative but I slipped off and misjudged jumps once or twice.

One of the Trap 'Control Panel' boxes that disabled the "air jet trap" was reversed; you'll need to fix that.


Like was said, I only had a few minutes to both wonder and wander around in those two quests but they certainly looked creative. :D

The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.

I'm surprised there were more pictures of the Hawks, I did go 'hawking' with one of the DDO Falcons. The Flacon didn't seem to attack anything; it seemed more interested in hovering around more than anything else...

I'm thinking about sneaking in another ETR before U39 and it normally takes me a couple of weeks to get back to 30. Do people think I have time? What is normally the amount of time from preview 2 to an actual release?

Thanks for the QoL fixes!

Quests

• The Battle for Eveningstar: Fixed a visual issue with the Bebelith's death.

If you removed the Drow from the corpse, then you should do the same for Droaam Ogre Cavalry from Siegebreaker:

There is also an issue in What Goes Up with the objective: Jump off the flying glacier!

If you jump off, you die instead of appearing in the end area of the quest.

And if you stay, you get teleported to the end of the quest, alive.

It should probably work the opposite way. If you jump off, you save yourself, if you stay, you crash into the mountain with the glacier and die.
