The (New and Improved) Hey Lynnabel Thread

[Silverleafeon]

Might be above your pay grade, so I'll post and bug report:

If you have a medium to high end machine
&
Windows 10
&
quality graphics card


when faced with the question during a completely fresh install of DDO
"Do you want to download the high rez version of DDO?"

If you say "yes" the install will later ask
"Your machine seems capable of running Direct X 11"

If you again say "yes"
then the install seems to always work.


If you say no to either question, particullary the first one, the install will bug out badly and crash upon logging in
or go continuous busy blue circle forever.


Tried both ways more than once, on more than one machine till I finally saw the pattern.

So what happens here is that every time the Enlightened Spirit aura goes off it sets the caster level for your next spell/spell like ability/other active attack to be your warlock level, and after that next spell/SLA/other active attack your caster level gets reset and acts appropriately until the next time the aura goes off. It seems like it might just be a small error in the script for the auras presumably at the end of the process for recalculating things that's easy to fix if looking in the right place?


Easy test e.g. Warlock 3/Wizard 17, put a few points into ES and turn aura on, try casting anything with a duration like resist energy. First wizard spell after aura 3 minute duration, other wizard spells 17 minute duration as appropriate. I'm not 100% sure as it was a long time ago I did some extensive testing and bug reported it in detail, but it might only happen when you actually damage an enemy with the aura, so try that if it can't be reproduced while standing still doing nothing with an ES aura active.

Hellball used to? do something similar (on a wiz or a sorc, not a wlk). My caster level would get set to 0 for my next spell. It's one of the reasons I never take Hellball anymore.

Not sure if I should post it here (sorry if not), but just in case. While testing dwarf druid on lammania I noticed that I lost dwarven waraxe proficiency in elemental form.

Details:
I got 3 levels of bard & martial weapon proficiency from warchanter second core, so as a dwarf I am getting exotic weapon proficiency: dwarven waraxe. Everything works fine until I use elemental form (water to be precise) - then the proficency is gone. All other dwarven racial feats stay as they should. When I deactivate elemental form I am getting the proficiency back.
I guess it is a bug - humans do not loose extra feats & skill points when going elemental. I could understand if dwarves were losing poison resistance bonus (not that it matters anyway) when going elemental. I am not saying they should (as elemental form in general only targets specific properties). But proficiency comes form dwarven training (culture), so should definetly stay even if changing form of the body.
I guess simillar bug might happen with other forms, like exalted angel or palemaster.

As mentioned above, I found it on lammania (current build), and I do not have means to test in on live. But I guess it is not specific to Lammania, as I do not think anything was changed in that area.

Iconic Gnome tree Racial Spell focus illusion does not add to SLA color spray dc. Also illusion items do not add to SLA color spray. But the illusion feat does work.

The Warmaster Song from the Warchanter Capstone:

-claims to provide 15 PRR but only gives 10 (15 seems like the correct value, since it doesn't stack with the 6 music bonus earlier in tree, thus it is really only worth 4 PRR atm)

-duration not affected by Aria (Fatesinger t3) or Lasting Inspiration (Epic Feat). AFAIK it is only the song not correctly affected by these. Its base duration is annoyingly much shorter than any other song, so hopefully this is easy to fix.

-duration only receives a 50% bonus from Lingering Songs 3/3 (Spellsinger t1, which says 60%, and indeed gives 60% to other songs)


(it's possible this song is hard capping at 3 minutes exactly for some undocumented reason)

Can we get timers on Arti buffs please?

Can we get timers on Arti buffs please?

And also on summoned monsters please?

In White Plume Mountain you can complete the quest before the Sphinx finishes the dialogue about the riddle it asks.

Ok, not quite finish the entire quest, but you get the point.

A randomly spawning mimic in The Trackers Trap speaks in code/string table errors instead of English.

In Raven's Bane, when you approach the hut after lowering the bramble barrier, you get a message saying "Event trigger" rather than anything quest related.

TOO MANY INVISIBLE WALLS! *cries*

There are some areas where the walkmesh (not sure if you use that term) is inconsistent/troublesome. Such as when a tiny bump in the ground that should be easily stepped over (like the size of your characters foot) completely blocks you and you have to jump over or run around it. I reported some of them years ago but they still exist. (I will get some more specific examples when I'm not posting while at work).

Typo: The "Adherent of the Mists" set bonus text states that it gives a bonus to "Postive" spellpower instead of Positive.

Awkward XD

Fixed!

(I also tagged the weird extra newline that was bothering me while I was in there :P)

Postive is also correct. Especially after a few whiskeys.

[Deadlock]

You mean whisky, right?

[AscendantMadness]

Okay, so it's really a graphical error and is actually in the DDO Store. The icon for Monster Manual Volume 6 shows a 'V' for five but doesn't actually have the 'I' that would make it read six in Roman numerals.

[Revolted]

I don't discriminate, I drink Scotish and Irish, so I drink with and without the "e". #stopwhiskywhiskeydiscrimination

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

Do you think you can fix the level and 28 cloaks of night so that they can actually proc in the quests of that level range?

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

He says that he's never seen it proc once while using it (The Nightmares effect)

I am wondering if you could update this crossbow to Legendary Nightmares, it's already a raid item......... but really the nightmare attribute might as well not even be on it if it never procs.

Mother Night's Embrace ability on Macabre weapons is "...imbued by one of the two dieties of Barovia..." and deals evil damage. It's possible that Mother Night thinks that weight loss is bad and deals evil damage through starvation, but it's more likely that she is a deity, not a diety.

Must think it's a Tome: Legend page. heh.

Steps to reproduce
1. Equip a Hands of the Dawn healer trinket
2. Use Unyielding Sentinel as the Epic Destiny
3. Get Consecration and Sacred Ground as twists
4. Cast Consecration several times (tested for 10 minutes)
5. Notice that no healing criticals are generated.

Flame of the Favored functions in a similar manner as Sacred Ground albeit as a rectangular area of effect instead of circular, and it is affected by Positive Spell Power and Positive Spell Critical %. I would assume the same logic should apply to Consecration - Sacred Ground.

Also, could you verify if the both damage portions of Sacred Ground is affected by Fire Spell Power or not, as both are affected by Fire Spell Power?

Tower of Frost - Duration is Medium and should be Very long (or at least Long)

Frenzied Berserker - Typos. When you hold mouse over some abilities in Enhancements Character sheet menu, it's still have cooldown tip before update, e.g. Cracking Attack have 20 second cooldown tip instead of real 12 second.
