"After a years-long identity crisis, the questgiver for "Bringing the Light" has remembered his name is, in fact, Brother Augustus."

Thanks! . I guess I'm gonna have to get a new signature.

I think that this is the only pack to ever be released free to everyone

It makes me wonder if that's not a good way to drive sales...maybe have every pack free for a week or two after release, so that people can play it and get used to it, and hopefully want to buy it so they can keep it

The Lost Gatekeepers is free to VIPs and will eventually be available in the DDO Store. Currently, all adventure packs and expansion content is available for players to play for free.

Just to clarify any confusion that may arise.

Nice to see some issues being taken care of! Looking forward to more game play!

Hmm nothing about Paladin's KotC Tier 3 enhancement Holy Combatant granting only +1 to hit and damage with favored weapons instead of the stated +2 to hit and damage?

Epic XP for The Mystery of Delera's Tomb and Free Delera have been Increased. == A few less dailies per reincarnation

[IsFrosty99]

As the title says, Greater Elder's Knowledge is not giving the % bonus, any news if it was fixed in this update?

[Tremes]

Even though I love having new content, I am more pleased with all the fixings to the game performance issues. Thank you!!!

I'm dumb and I thought Catacombs XP boost already happened in the last patch, so I just ran it like two days ago (for first-time bonus) and was like "wow the XP on this still sucks"

• Several changes to issues believed to be contributing to client and server performance issues have been made.

Not for this update. It'll be in an upcoming patch.

Divine Augmentation now applies more reliably to divine spells.
Several spells that are meant to target and heal undead can now do so.

Yay! As someone who runs heal builds that'll be nice.

There is now a moving platform elevator from the docks in the Stormreach Harbor up the cliffside.

And the bellies of all the inhabitants of and guests in Stormreach grew a little bigger.

[Scrapco]

Deprecated items will now automatically be cleaned out of bags.

Whassat? Mystical bottles?

[Pandjed]

The majority of Gatekeeper NPC's have moved to the "Gatekeepers Grove" which can be reached via the Stormreach Harbor. This includes all of the following:

• "Zarnoth the Vigilant" Gatekeeper Favor NPC
• "Varron Tertius" the Schism Shard Collector
• The questgivers (and quest entrances) for all of the following quests:
  
  • The Temple of Elemental Evil Part One
  • The Temple of Elemental Evil Part One
  • Tavern Brawl
  • Slave Pits of the Undercity
  • Secret of the Slavers' Stockade
  • Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords
  • White Plume Mountain
  
  
• Teleport NPC's to the following locations:
  
  • "Uthor Granth" Teleport NPC to the "Trials of the Archons" questgivers
  • "Surna Garnok" Teleport NPC to "The Devil's Gambit" questgivers
  • "Norogorn Thaq" Teleport NPC to the "White Plume Mountain and Other Tales" questgivers.

Well, a whole section of the Hall of Heroes will be empty again. Are there plans to fill it up or to slowly dismantle it (reincarnation grove back to House J, the vendors are easily moved)?

I mean, moving these NPCs makes sense, I'm just wondering what function the Hall of Heroes is supposed to fulfill. Iirc, non-VIP even need to buy a passport to enter it.

Thank you

Yeah, I was also trying to figure out what that actually means. No idea.

[Arkat]

The expired Night Revels ingredients would be one example I can think of right now.

Same thought, but i think more of a resizing, remaking of the halls.

I dont think its a good place: two huge open areas (Now with) less stuff to do, big walking distance.

If they were more functional, i think there could be more use to them, for example one huge room(Not as huge as it is today) only with 4 minor rooms on the cardeal points as we have today on second floor. The teleporter would be in middle together with npc and each room could be a functional place: reincarnation grove, trainers room, crafting(?) room and who knows, a memorial room.

NW, NE, SW and SW could be things like ship, event teleport, etc.

I know that the Hall of heroes would be a central point, but the walking and practical use is almost zero nowadays
