EDIT: The preview has ended, the server is closed. Please leave any feedback in this section of the forums! <3

Disclaimer

Everything seen on the preview server, Lamannia, is not final and is subject to change or removal before live release. Specific extra disclaimer on the current visual appearance of Tiefling and Tiefling Scoundrel.

Hey, all! The pre-sale of our new Expansion (visit www.ddo.com/mastermindsofsharn) is on the horizon. The preview server will be opening up for a second preview of U41.4 on Tuesday March 12th and will be closing in the evening of Thursday March 14th. This preview is expected to contain the following features:

• New Race: Tiefling
• New Iconic Race: Tiefling Scoundrel
• New Universal Enhancement Tree: Inquisitive

Portions of the above features have changed or had bug fixes since the first preview. Release notes that are changed or added from Preview 1 to Preview 2 are this color.

There will be a dev event on the preview server on Wednesday 3/13 from 8PM to 10PM Eastern where you can chat with atleast Cocomajobo to get questions answered and have your feedback collected for the rest of the team to peruse.

In addition to those main features there are an assortment of smaller changes and/or bugfixes which are listed below

Character

• Ranger Arcane Archer's Arrow of Slaying now properly requires 12 Character Levels, like other Tier 5 enhancements.
• Knight's Training's text has been updated for clarity.
• Frolic from the Spellsinger tree now more reliably protects from CC
• Cleric Domains now have more accurate and more flavorful tooltips
• Racial Completionist has been removed from those who have it due to the arrival of Tiefling.
• Bardic Fascinate no longer hits static objects

Items

• Several item-based enhancement effects now disappear on Logout (since you get a new copy when you log in anyway).
• Legendary Greensteel's Ash debuff now properly stacks on targets.
• The Astral Projector now reports its collision more reliably at any range.
• Void, the Endless Cold's Arrow (The Frozen Terror) is now Min Level 28
• The Barovian Mist Aura is now Bound to Account and is no longer Single-Use
  
• The capacity of Augment Bags has been increased!
  
  • Small Augment Bags have been increased from 10 slots to 15.
  • Medium Augment Bags have been increased from 20 slots to 25.
  • Large Augment Bags have been increased from 40 slots to 50.
  • Huge Augment Bags have been increased from 80 slots to 100.
  • Gargantuan Augment Bags have been increased from 150 slots to 175.
  • Colossal Augment Bags have been increased from 300 slots to 350.
  
  

Monsters

• Doomspheres will look and act like Doomspheres again.
• Gnoll combat sounds have been redone. Enjoy the laughter.

Quests

• Madstone Crater: A typo has been corrected.
• Amber Temple now has more monsters on elite and reaper
• Toxic Treatment caves are no longer erroneously filled with grass.

Misc

• The Character Select screen now has a new backdrop for characters in Eberron.
• The UI for the Race portion of the character generation process has been adjusted to account for the growing number of races available.
• The strange new ship in the harbor has docked. Too bad there isn't anyone aboard yet to take adventurers anywhere they haven't been before.
• The fields for Alignment and Gender have been pushed further right on the character sheet, allowing longer Race/Iconic names to appear without being cut off.
• Work has been done on the lighting and color saturation of locations in Eberron.

I have some feedback to be perused later:

Looking forward to seeing the Inquisitive again.

Hoping for more colors of the rainbow for Tiefling skin.

Also pre-sale is happening on March 30 isn't it. Still love you SSG.

Are we getting the code for the next Anniversary cape

By "next" do you mean the second? The second code is STORMREAVER. They won't release the third until Thursday.

Honestly, I was expecting this upcoming preview to contain some loot previews too. So let me get this straight, correct me if I am wrong but does this mean that these two previews are not for sharn in truth but the prepurchase content of Sharn and we will get to preview the loot shortly before the rest of the pack is on the market?

I hope the server goes live soon, I cannot test at midnight.....

[Arkat]

Keep your shirts on, people. If previous Lamannia openings can be used to judge when it will open up today, it should be sometime in the afternoon.

I'm ready for those awesome natch potes c:

Can't wait for 41.4 to be released officially either. Been keeping my eye on it closely and so far I'm liking what I see!

click the Icon to open the Lamma Client and enter you password. Then you will see a box that says TRANSFER. click that box and you will be taken thru the steps. Don't worry, you won't be charged to play on Lamma. Just scroll down and you will see COPY TO: Lamannia. Done
