I hope you've been enjoying Against the Slave Lords, checking out our new Cannith Crafting
Yeah, the grind for yet another crafting system and the inventory nightmare have been fucking awesome.
At least the shit looks good.
#artdepartmentisntpaidenough Quote:Our goal is to release two updates before the end of the year. One of the updates will be larger, the other smaller, and combined they'll bring several things that players have long asked for to DDO. Since we are currently working on two updates, it isn't clear yet what will be in each update. We'll release things when they are ready, so if something isn't ready in time for next month, we'll see if we can finalize it for the following update in December.
Big if true. Not holding my breath.
Quote:~ Updated Night Revels event: First up, were working on an update to The Night Revels, our Halloween-themed event which debuted last year. Were planning to add a couple of new quests along with a handful of new items that will focus on cosmetic fun. Were expecting the updated Night Revels to debut later in October.
Almost stopped reading here to fap, but I soldiered on.
Quote:~A new Questing hub: We've long wanted to help people figure out where to go and what to do when they come back to DDO from some time away, and this hub will help both them as well as anyone who'd like to get to quest entrances more quickly. We don't have a name for this new system yet, and we'll be talking a lot more about it in the coming weeks.
About fucking time. Only 6 years too late.
Quote:World Character Transfers: We've heard from many of you that our process to transfer characters from one world to another needs to be more intuitive and take less time. Our new launcher-based system will send a character or characters from one world to another in seconds, and players will be able to pay for their transfers directly with Turbine Points. We think you'll like this transfer system, which is already in place in our sister game Lord of the Rings Online. Expect to see it debut by the end of the year.
Hallelujah. I can finally get my main off the deserted island of Cannith.
Quote:~Deity feats: Well be adding new Deities that players can follow, and new feats that can be unlocked by players who find favor with their deity of choice.
Again, finally. Playing a Divine is excruciating as it stands now. This might, MIGHT make it more palatable.
Quote:~ A new free dungeon: Were expecting to release a new free dungeon in December that we think fans of A Study in Sable will enjoy. This quest sends adventurers to a popular type of pen and paper location that hasnt had much representation in DDO. Id say more, but I dont want to spoil it.
More is MOAR.
Quote:~Character Bank Storage: Were working to take the user interface used for your Shared Account Bank and Crafting Storage and bring it to your personal character bank. Besides an improved look and functionality, this change will allow us to offer additional character bank storage space in the future.
Because what could go wrong?
Quote:~ Monks and Favored Soul updates: Continuing our class work, you can expect an overhaul of handwraps in addition to updated enhancement trees for both classes.
Handwraps overhaul will be totally slick and seamless. Because Rockstarz.
Quote:Looking beyond 2016, we know many of you have been hearing the rumors and teases about Ravenloft, so let's talk Strahd. We're 100% interested in bringing Ravenloft to DDO, and are working through the process to make it happen. We don't have an exact time frame in mind, although our current plan has it coming to DDO sometime towards the end of 2017. We can't wait to bring one of the most popular and classic adventures in Dungeons & Dragons history to the game.
Well... It'll blow dead bears for quarters and give change, but it's more content.
It'd be nice if for once; that content wasn't just more recycling of Undead.
Quote:Were also planning for our 11th anniversary in late February! Were hoping to debut a new playable race for the anniversary along with some new adventuring. Weve been asking you whether youd like to play a kobold or dragonborn, and while the final decision hasnt been made, it looks like many of you would enjoy the dragonborn, so well see what the anniversary brings.
I'm gonna need to start stockpiling ganja and whiskey now, to get through this fiasco.
Fucking Dragonborn... Somebody hold me.
Quote:It remains an honor to be your Executive Producer, and I'll be back later this year to look ahead to 2017. Until next time, may the loot gods smile on you.
This is the saddest thing I've ever read.
