U42 Preview 1 is now open! Everything you need should be in the Test dojo including:

• Lord Poincelot to grant you fake DDO store points to "purchase" the Masterminds of Sharn Adventure Pack
• The Loot Guy to sell you the various loot detailed in the U42 Preview 1: Loot and U42 Preview 1: Minor Artifacts threads
• A teleport NPC that will transport you to the Sharn Docks so that you can check out the new public area and dungeons!

Let us know what you think! <3

Hey, all! The pre-sale of our new Expansion (visit www.ddo.com/sharn) is available! The preview server will be opening up for a first preview of the contents of that expansion, which will be Update 42, on Tuesday April 2nd and will be closing in the evening of Thursday April 4th. This preview is now open! This preview contains the following features:

• New Dungeons:
  
  • 4 Sharn Story Dungeons
  • 4 Cogs Explorer Dungeons
• New Quest Named Loot
• New Raid Named Loot
• Minor Artifacts

This preview does not include any other U42 features (Filigree, the other 5 Story dungeons, the other 3 Explorer Dungeons, the Cogs wilderness area, etc.). Those will be featured in a later preview.

There will be a dev event on the preview server on Wednesday 4/3 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
[LIST][*]Favored Soul's Bonus Feats have much clearer and more concise wording

Misc

I like the look of sharn, the lfg confirmation meny bug hit me. I can no longer log into my ddo ghallanda account characters disapeared

Quests

• The Salve of Stone to Flesh in Eyes of Stone now has a cooldown of 5 seconds, rather than 30.

Finally a change that in theory shouldn't cause much controversy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It’s the same link that’s used for live bug reports (you can always find it in my signature).

Posting in the dungeon thread is also entirely acceptable and useful!

Hey Team I haven't had time to preview anything yet, but it all looks very cool. I would like to make a small suggestion take your time don't rush to push Sharn out, most of us would prefer waiting a bit more than having anything missed or left lacking, thanks for the hard work cheers!

[Cocomajobo]

The first preview of U42 will be ending shortly. Thank you all for coming out and providing feedback. If there is any other feedback about what was on offer for preview 1 please post it on the forums for the team to peruse.

We have atleast one more preview of U42 planned. The second preview is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday 4/16-Thursday 4/18 and is tentatively scheduled to contain all of the content and loot releasing with U42 including all of the Story Dungeons, all of the Explorer Dungeons, the Cogs Wilderness Area, the first Sharn Raid, the quest loot, the raid loot, the minor artifacts, and the new filigree.

If you’ve got a raid group, in particular, we’d love it if you could try to wrangle them to provide feedback during preview 2!

Well dang, was all excited about getting on lammania tonight because I thought it was supposed to last through the 4th Guess I will have to wait 2 more weeks.

[DYWYPI]

I know you are aware of some typographical errors. Nonetheless I'll post some peculiarities, I observed just in case you missed them?

Error with NPC name.


[District]

For some bizarre reason whenever I logged in and entered the 'Sharn Public area' the map malfunctioned and showed an erroneous picture (see above). When I entered quests it sorted. Albeit when I re-entered the Sharn public area it reverted to that weird display. :-/

Esoteric Influence Set Items
Set 7 (Spell DPS) - Esoteric Influence:

Set Bonus: +2/4 Artifact to Spell Focus Mastery, +20/50 Universal Spell Power, +2/3 to INT/WIS/CHA, +10/20 MRR Cap


Any chance we could squeeze another +10 MRR on this set...…...so +15/30

Would be the mostest, bestest……..and earn my eternal love and devotion.

[LargoKeyWest]

Any decision on the next Lam going up tomorrow as previously intended?
