The (New and Improved) Hey Lynnabel Thread

[PsychoBlonde]

One of the door valves in The Swiped Signet has retracted into the wall. I noticed it during my FreeDeeOh show on DDOStream.

[Xgya]

Hey Lynnabel!
Found another recalcitrant Splintered Winter's Wrath hidden in the epic chest inside The Tide Turns.
I know you've been hunting those down!

[Deivonte]

Just a quick question. Is epic fighting supposed to reduce the range of the warchanter capstone? It makes it really hard to use.

[DreamingReality]

Xachosian Eardweller information is not correct (since update 14). My husband just pulled one yesterday and it still reads that it grants 100% bonus to spell damage.

[Iyllelia]

I tested with my FvS and the spell penetration isn't working as stated - and possibly the spell points.

It says:
Level 1 provides +25 spell points and +1 to spell penetration
Level 2 provides +50 spell points and +2 to spell penetration
Level 3 provides +100 spell points and +3 to spell penetration

If this is meant to be understood as cumulative, we get a total of +100 sp and +3 to spell penetration. If meant to be additive, a total of +175 sp and +6 to spell penetration. (I always thought it was the latter unless otherwise indicated. If the former, may I suggest changing the text to say you +25/+1 or something else to be more clear?)

In practice:
With 0 levels: I have 2860 spell points and 26 spell penetration.
With 1 level: I have 2885/27 (adding +25 sp and +1 to penetration - correct)
With 2 levels I have 2910/28 (adding +25 sp and +1 to penetration - possibly correct)
With 3 levels I have 2960/26 (adding +50 sp and removing ALL penetration added from previous two levels)

I made a Tiefling Scoundrel and was planning to primarily use the Inquisitive tree while getting the Coup de Grace ability from tier 5 of the Swashbuckler tree. The instant kill never activated while using either light or heavy crossbows. This was both with and without the enhancement to dual wield them. The ability worked properly on every single other ranged weapon including great crossbows, both types of repeating crossbows, both types of bows, and all throwing weapons.

I tested enough times to know that it wasn't just my failing my DC and that it just wasn't activating at all. This was tested by me in elite "Into The Mists". When using any of the other ranged weapons, it took at most two tries for the ability to kill something, and even after about 20-30 tries each with light and heavy crossbows, an enemy never once died due to the ability.
I had tested this character a good while back when inquisitive was being introduced on Lamania, and it worked back then, so something changed between the pre and post release of the tree.

Hey Lynn, I know it was posted a while ago about correcting some of the icons for feats. I’m not sure where that was posted so I am posting here.

Arcane pulse currently shows the same icon as Niacs Biting Cold when looking on the enemy’s effects. For me (a wizard), I always have multiple stacks of multiple dots that I keep track of and sometimes I lose Niacs because I get confused from arcane pulse looking the same.

It’s a small thing but it would be awesome if it could have a unique icon. Even if it were the icon of the actual spell.

Thanks!

No, this is how tiered abilities work. They're giving the correct amount for their level. This is working as intended and the tooltip is correct.

Gotcha covered.

I think the third tier spell pen is not working correctly, if the poster was correct

With 0 levels: I have 2860 spell points and 26 spell penetration.
With 1 level: I have 2885/27 (adding +25 sp and +1 to penetration - correct)
With 2 levels I have 2910/28 (adding +25 sp and +1 to penetration - possibly correct)
With 3 levels I have 2960/26 (adding +50 sp and removing ALL penetration added from previous two levels)

The Spell Points are working correctly.

[Aelonwy]

With 3 levels I have 2960/26 (adding +50 sp and removing ALL penetration added from previous two levels)

If the poster is correct and its removing all previous bonus to spell pen how can that be

working as intended?

I only use that enhancement for the spell pen, if its NOT giving me +3 spell pen its wasted AP to me.

[Lynnabel]

working as intended?

Correct. This ability grants a total of 3 Spell Penetration at its third tier, 1/rank. You are welcome to try it out right now yourself, but I'll save you the trouble of rolling up an Aasimar and show you that, at its third rank, it's granting exactly 3.

[Samir_Bennal]

Just came across something on my guild's airship last night. We just hit lvl 45 and unlocked the Hag Apothecary. After placing it, we learned that it is bugged and does not offer cheap pots as the description claims. I doubt this is something high on the priority list but can the tool tip at least get changed to remove the potion part so others won't think they are getting something they are not?

[PurpleTimb]

Why do some items (tomes, omnispell dust, etc.) not allow a buy out price on the ASAH? Is this for some obscure game reason or is it a bug?

[Aelonwy]

Thank you for taking the time to check it out. I wonder how Iyllelia was testing it and why they thought the spell pen wasn't working.

So here is a bug I've posted in the past. I'm sure I sent in a bug report but it would have been years ago the first time I encountered it. Possibly 2010 or 2011 maybe. Everyone meet the Bezekira rare Redtooth:



Redtooth feels embarrassed because unlike other rares he's not a red name or even an orange name. His name is the same color as any other bezekira so he just doesn't feel special. I let him use my Shield Guardian for a scratching post and that made him feel a little better... until I slew him for XP. Let's make Redtooth proud, let's make him at least an orange-named like any other rare.

They are available in the store.
So if someone wants them immediately, they'll have to pay DDO points rather than platinum.

[GeoffWatson]

Many items and enhancements have "a chance" of doing something.

Suggestion: Could you please give the actual percentage chance in the description?

It is hard to tell if something is worth getting, as you don't know whether it is 1% or 100% or anywhere in between.

[Traffik]

Would it be possible to please review the prices of the Gold Seal Special Chests we can add in the Cargo Hold for Astral Shards, their price are so prohibitive it's just crazy. Maybe when we didn't had the current Guild Chests amenity, it was worth something to add these chests but now, it's WAY too expensive.

[Selensija]

would it be possible to get a notification with an ongoing chest ransack counter whenever you loot a chest and a ransack notification / timer ransack on the 7th run (one run earlier, sure you could also look in the chest to check if you are on your 8th run)

Example:

You loot the chest for the first time nothing happens.
You rerun the quest and loot the chest again: "You have looted this chest 2 times"
...On the 7th rerun: "You have ransacked this chest, ransack will expire in 04 days 23 hours 42 minutes"

Judging by the last posts being only on classes/bugs this might be the wrong thread. Oopsie.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

This bug has been occurring for me on reincarnation, this bug prevents me from selecting spells on character creation and level ups..........

To activate this bug simply epic reincarnate and then racial reincarnate to being of the same class as you were before.

I've reported this bug so many times and the most that ever happens is someone with SSG makes it so I can select said spells upon next level up.
