1st vid, I see that Steelstar spawned into the raid? Not sure because you were a halfling, but his toon looked gigantic.
2nd vid, interesting to read the chat. Looks like Turbine is open to making adjustments.


Steel has spawning in all the raid runs, he just stays back there watching people die while gathering feedback. They will change beholders spawn rate and the tiles, probably more but those are the only two things I read they would adjust.

P.S:

Steel was in both runs. If you look in the puzzle room in run 2, hes floating just off my screen. (room 2) He appears through out the run as well to see our progress.FakeStrake wrote on Aug 31st, 2014 at 11:02pm:

a lot of it was with steel thursday. I happened to run into him so we formed a vol run. We finished and had a good 2 hour discussion about it.

why not try and watch 1 of the 2 videos posted on this very page? Unless ofc you wont because they were shittily recorded by me. which is fine.


Fair enough. I watched some of it.

The altar is missing from the main platform. That sucks.

That leaves you with 3 options. Hiding behind an encasement, hanging off the edge of the platform, or standing on the abbot's foot.

So the 1,000,000 pp question: ...is the foot operational?

If i get back home tonight in time. i will Record via twitch a run with a dev or two. We ran a little bit with steel yesterday, he seen how horrible some mechanics were. Its still in development so its possible to have changes before next weekend. I will continue to test it however.

As for the Loot, there is already a thread with all the loot, somewhere. Also ive been working on updating the wiki, as have a few others. I THINK all the loot is there now.. just not all the links to each individual page just yet. Heres a link to it all.

Oh, youll note int he video, a Debuff with 19/18 counters on it. That reduces your attack speed for both melee and range, as well as increases your spell costs. Each stack is 5% speed, 10% SP (Currently its 10 instead of 10%)

Also, yes.. i like running around while dead a lot. It serves no purpose, but i do it anyhow.


Was that in the Death Knight room? The shocking grasp icon?

I think they should leave it as is. Who says raid completions have to be guaranteed. Turbine should be unapologetic on these last few raids. We have uber gear and infi past lives. We dont need the gear from Abbot to complete any of the quests. Or solo them even. Leave the raid as is and make the next few as hard as this one is. If I cant do it, I dont deserve the loot. It wont change how we are crushing quests already.

I confirm what Sasha said : some adjustments to spawn rates of Beholders and Quells will be performed.
There's other tweaks that will be performed as well as some bug fixes.

It's not certain if everything will be contained in the next Lamania Build though.

me 2 :/ WTB Pike spot. Besides not like YOU-personally- cant TR. You do it all the time, i see you doing it. Youre probably doing it right now  ;p

TR into something else for 1 month get all the loot and then never step foot in there again.

It is going to require specialization of characters and party composition. Capable leaders. Gives us something to actually dwell on. Go over strategies and builds designed solely for the raid. It wont affect 99% of the other content.

Punishing classes and excluding players isnt really much of a barrier in DDO. TR system can be utilized for a benefit that pays off. If you want it. You dont have to do the raid. The loot, challenge and bragging rights will make you want to. There currently isn't a raid where casters, monkchers, and throwers arent WAY more valuable in the party than melee. CitW, FoT, Fire Peaks, Shadow Dragon. All really only want one or two melees tops and the rest casters and ranged.

Melees used to be best in raids for many years.
Was about time something changes.
Remember evon6, tod, shroud, hox, vod, chrono, you had at least 3-4 barbs in party, max 2 casters.

"shortmanned" maybe. Solo, impossible.  There needs to be one person at least on the center platform or else abbot will summon you back to said platform.

I've been doing some testing and it is possible to solo it. You can go through the DD and hit the death knight a couple of times before you get teleported back. It took me about 7ish visits to the puzzle to kill each deathknight.

Probably not WAI tho, I don't think it will be soloable on live cause of the encases, but on Lamannia you can just jump while encased and you'll be released.
