The (New and Improved) Hey Lynnabel Thread

Are the Expansion Tickets suppose to keep reappearing every time one TRs?

Mine did for a long time, which solves the what do I do if my permanent hires accidently get deleted!

Mine stopped reappearing (possibly due to deletion and undeletion of main toons) or was it because this feature was removed?

If so, and there are no plans to reestablish thus, guess I might have to bug customer service to restore some of my lost permanent hires?
Too bad the earlier expansions did not use the BTA system....

Sorry to say they're not supposed to reappear upon TR. Happily enough, giving you back the permanent hirelings is something customer support can and will do (and has done for me personally in the past)

Thanks, Ill start working on that once I get my toons spread out on different servers.

After the latest update the feats menu in the character sheet has a new 'favour feats' subsection. The icon for it is a lovely red and yellow TBD...

Legendary green steel dominion, opposition, etc set bonus give a string table error when examining another persons character

Cleric's Domain of protection tier 3 SLA of radiant forcefield wont trigger if you aren't targeting yourself, even thought it can never activate on anyone but yourself

That's terrifying, ****. The sound you are hearing is our effects system reapplying an effect that hits the same channels as a suppressed effect, so the original buff unsuppressed for a tiny slice of time and then is suppressed again, which plays its SFX and vfx. Until we figure out some way to get that to stop, I'd recommend not getting both buffs on you to save your sanity! :P

Isn't there a warlock bug with shield spell that does the same thing? I can't remember, some class, some sound, lol. (drunken bug reports ftw)

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

It's been so long that I've lost count, has it been years?

Seriously, the weapon Nightmare, The Fallen Moon is a level 23 bastard sword and the saves associated with the Nightmare's proc is so low that I can only get it to proc when fighting enemies that would die from one hit regardless. I can get my character to level 23 and run heroic elite Disciples Of Rage and not see a single proc anywhere in the quest from that bastard sword's Nightmares effect.

To further point out the problem, Volley Arbalest Of The Damned has the same problem and it is a Ravenloft raid weapon..........

Since the Season Pass is sold out, maybe take the ads down now?
I get it from a marketing perspective that if DDO is likely to offer another Season Pass opportunity in the future, then teasing everyone with a "SOLD OUT! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, you missed it," makes sense (mean, but that's marketing). Otherwise, it's just wasting space for useful information.

Also, the official post on these forums for the Season Pass should indicate it's sold out now instead of teasing readers to click on the link only to find out it's sold out. Just saying - it's the holidays, no need to be cruel.

Given that it is not yet December 16th 11:59 PM Eastern (which was the original time frame for purchase) I'd say it's a good thing that the giant "SOLD OUT" image is pasted on the season pass image/advertisement. Lets those who knew about the dates it would be available for know that it is sold out before the time elapsed, and thus saving them from trying to purchase it to no avail.

Now, if it stays up after December 16th at 11:59 PM Eastern, then at first I'll give it to no one being in the office to change it. Too much later than that then it's going into the slightly overboard self promo self congratulatory territory. Though knowing how things tended to work in the past, I'd expect that image to stay up until the next new deal is offered; most likely this upcoming Thursday. Heck, remember when the "Otto Boxes are back!" splash screen remained up for a good solid month after they were no longer available? XD

(not saying it's right, just that there is precedent)

Fair enough.

[Targal]

some spells are not affected by Arcane Augmentations.
for example, new arcane spells are so as well as Eladar/niac thing(if I remember correctly) are so.

Hey Lynnabel,
I have a spinneret lvl 10 with a +1 mythic bonus in the Slaver's Mythic Slot from the statuette. It does add +1 Melee and +1 ranged power. It does not add +1 spell power. It does have quality potency +9 however. So equipping the ring gives +9; but not +10, spell power. I tested this by unequipping all items and then equipping just the ring.

Omg that's wonderful. Now I want one.

Eldritch knight, light armor proficiency is wonky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[LargoKeyWest]

Please make it so when you turn in something to the Thread Merchant opposite the WPM altar, the item you receive back has the same mythic as the item you turned in? Thank you.

[Garbudo]

I have searched Khyber for a long time, many of years to say the least, I finally acquired a Eternal Titan Wand if only for a moment, I just made a cosmetic I was so happy my festivult wishes were finally coming true and it worked up until you equip it into cosmetic slot it has no skin! Please fix this so so sad right now.

I doubt this will happen in the short term, the barter system now simply recreates the item based on an input with the old item as ID. Given this nature it's possible that 1) it does not support checking for mythic/reaper bonuses and slotted augments on items and 2) if able to and forced to recognize bonuses may cause huge clutter in the barter menu with one entry for each variation of bonuses.

There's a disparity between the two damage dice notations on Iceberg scroll:
28-33 does not match 1d6+28



Also the UMD requirement seems higher than wiki would suggest, it there any reason for it?
