Update 24 Patch 2
Welcome to the Update 24 Patch 2 Release Notes for Dungeons & Dragons Online! These notes were posted on Monday, February 23rd, 2015.

News and Notes:


Champions

Mysterious Remnant Rewards have been updated! Find the vendor in the Hall of Heroes.
Mysterious Remnant non-chest drops now disappear after three minutes.

Combat

The Melee Power boost from Smite and Exalted Smite apply more consistently.
Cyclonic Blast no longer has an additional and unnecessary Saving Throw.

Enhancements and Epic Destinies

Stalwart and Sacred Defense should now count as Defensive Stances.
Unyielding Sentinel's Legendary Shield Mastery no longer works with Orbs.
The Barbarian's Tantrum ability no longer stops movement.
The Bard Action Boost: Doubleshot now grants Doubleshot.
Vanguard abilities no longer disappear upon death.

Feats

Exalted and Avenging Cleave now properly break a character out of Invisibility.
Game Performance

Performance improvements have been made to the Divine Crusader's Wrath of the Righteous.
Shadows in the Forgotten Realms have had their teleportation behavior adjusted.
Some performance improvements have been made to the end fight in Temple of the Deathwyrm.
Some performance improvements have been made to the Magma Brute phase of Fire on Thunder Peak.
Some performance improvements have been made to the Thunderholme wilderness area.
Some adjustments have been made that allow us to better control entity loading (such as land block loading) to increase game performance. Players may see some performance improvements in the coming days as we make adjustments across the game worlds.

Items

Minimum Level 16 Eveningstar Cormyrean weapons now have 1.5[W] damage across all weapon types.
Sapphires of Physical Resistance have been renamed Sapphire of Defense, to better indicate that these items grant both Physical and Magical Resistance.

Quests and Adventure Areas

The number of spiders in several Trial by Fury encounters have been reduced.
The placement of some monsters in Reclaiming the Rift have been adjusted to assist non-ranged characters in completing the quest.
A change has been made to Temple of the Deathwyrm to fix an issue that could prevent certain objectives from bestowing properly.
A String Table Error has been fixed in Don't Drink the Water.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Pretty sure that the fact that a service can be hacked doesn't make it the "community chest".

They always have since MRR was introduced.  Just a naming change.

Remember when they tried to make little jokes in the release notes about fixes like this, without realizing it's funnier when it just stands on its own?

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Yea, they fixed it, at least the exploit part, usual one with deposit box anyway, tried it now and says I dont have taps/tomes, still goes in deposit box, still shows as having something in bag/tome, but npc doesnt accept it.

I am stunned they fixed it, the noisy motherfucker on the boards got cubed so I'm pretty surprised to see they fixed it. It should tell us all how simple of a fix it must have been.

There's someone at the helm who prefers doing things to sitting on his ass. We got used to the sitting on their ass. Too bad it's still Turbine. Sev is hell bent on making every toon the same.

This is a problem.  Sev seems pretty good at getting things done.  Too bad he never wants to get the right things done.

They have targeted exploits like crazy under his regime - he obviously hates them - no matter how small or obscure they are. 
Prior to that duping was left active for 6 months or so.  Now they get done in the next hotfux.

Things have changed.    Undecided


If you find something of interest, don't broadcast it.
Or it will get fixed. Wink

Same shite or different shite?

A quick bet before checking: The answer as you predicted, will be shite.

They added augments ML 1-20. Missing the usable yellows, like deathward, FF, etc. Also missing Hvy Fort.

So yeah. The clear operating principle is that it must be shite, or it can't be offered for remnants.

LOLHat is gone though.

Wut???  Outrage!
The Crown of Fire is gone???
But they re-designed it to much applause on the forums?
How could they disappoint their loyal ass kissing minions?

Let's start a protest movement to bring back the embarrassingly ugly Crown and it's not as embarrassing version too!
