The Mysterious Ring in the Sands of Menechtarun adventure pack is now a little cooler!

Could someone possibly expand on this rather vague hint? (I'm asking... for the Wiki.)

Lynnabel talks about it on the Isle of Dread Q&A, its a bit like the GoMF set bonus' but only for heroic.

I'm sure it will make (some?) sense when you mention it, but "GoMF"? Drawing a blank...

ah, tyvm.

(Now, just have to figure exactly out how that applies to the 'Ring)

Will that fix/change all the broken no minimum level mysterious rings?

[Jerevth]

I saw some nice changes/ fixes.

The tome display and past lives are excellent QOL.
It will be nice to NOT have fire raining down for half my character's hp, too!

I have read them... and I do not rant much, but I saw red...

Bugfix #2: Fixed an incorrect DC description for Devour the Soul.

A very slow handclap... this is a 7 year old bug on an Enhancement Tree Capstone. SEVEN YEARS!? And even when announced that the description has been corrected, nobody can be bothered to explicitly write down the correct DC formula in the Update.

I bought the new expansion, ofc I did; but in all seriousness, I would prefer to see all bugs and issues associated with Class Enhancement and Universal Trees fixed before anything else gets added to the game. There are so many Enhancement bugs that exist and limit game builds:

- Swashbuckler's Tier 1 Blow By Blow (melee) not applying Sonic damage
- Vistani's Tier 5 Whirling Blades; if Dev's think +100 Doubleshot is not balanced, then propose a change, BUT fix it!
- Inquisitive's Tier 5 Improved Uncanny Dodge
- Wizard's Eldritch Knight Capstone
- Assassin's Tier 1 Stealthy; how long do we have to wait for this to be fixed???
- Thief Acrobat's Tier 1 Thief Acrobatics
- Kensai's Tier 5 Deadly Shot
- Knight of the Chalice Tier 5s Ascendency AND Holy Retribution
- Pale Master's Core Choices [Undead Augmentation] Undead Chill and Undead Shock
- Falconry's Assassinate DC bugs (Coordinated Strike and Death from Above)
- ...

That these bugs listed above even exist should be an EMBARASSMENT for the Devs. I am SICK TO DEATH of these building block bugs. FIX THE GAME. I mean how much effort would it take to changing either Assassin's Stealthy Movement Speed or the ability description?

After SEVEN YEARS, the Soul Eater Capstone ability Devour the Soul will have it's DC description corrected [finger's crossed] and SSG couldn't even be bothered to explicitly define the corrected version in their Update notes. Thanks for nothing!

Weapons no longer show dice estimations for their base and critical rolls, instead displaying a simplified view so that it's easier to understand what numbers mean.

edit: objection removed. No significant difference noted in display.

Disappointed that all the horrible core 4s and legendary feats are staying the same, but what're you going to do. The people that actually liked any of those (aside from 1 or 2 of the cores) specifically liked them because they were so weak, and never wanted the level cap increase to begin with.

Could someone please clarify on how the teleport items work now?
Do you still have to own it (have it in your bank), or is it safe to destroy all but one of these now?
How does the teleporting work now? When you activate an item, does it bring up a menu? To drag a location to your hotbar, can you use any teleport item now, or do you have to use the specific item that goes to that location?

Teleport items found within expansion packs have been upgraded! These items are now able to teleport you to all destinations that the other teleport items had access to - this means that if you have one of these items, you'll be able to teleport directly to the locations of all of them. You must own the item associated with the location you are attempting to teleport to. This means that, for example, when using the Sharn Boarding Pass, you'll be able to teleport to the Feywild if you own the Feywild Tuning Fork as a part of your account. However, you do not need to have the Tuning Fork with you to do this - which means that carrying one of these items is now equivalent to carrying all of them, potentially saving you inventory space. You may also drag these individual locations from the menu onto your hotbars, so if you need to reach a specific destination often, you can activate them from there instead of from your inventory. The following items are affected:
Isle of Dread Treasure Map
Saltmarsh Compass
Feywild Tuning Fork
Sharn Boarding Pass
Bottle of Mist

Any item will do and you can drag locations to the bar. The items can be destroyed.

The real issue is with cooldowns. If any use puts all destinations on cooldown it is a direct nerf.

The "Legendary Aim" feat was present in the last Lamannia preview but not mentioned in the release notes. Has this been removed?

I believe that an item has a cooldown that applies for all destinations. The question is whether if you have a second item, whether that will have an independent cooldown. If each item still has its own cooldown, it's not a nerf because you can continue to use multiple items. We will see in a few hours I guess.

What does:

"Augments now display prettier! Their slot types now appear in examination and are color-coded appropriately" mean?
