Dragonmarks Arrive in Stormreach[edit]

Three thousand years ago the first dragonmarks appeared in the elven kingdom of Aerenal. Strange patterns on the skin, more an elaborate birthmark than a tattoo, they gave their bearers magical abilities that have been a source of power and conflict for centuries. Nobody knows the origins of dragonmarks or when and why they appear, yet some of the citizens of Stormreach have recently begun to manifest these strange and powerful markings.

More Solo Quests[edit]

Four more quests can now be played on Solo mode!

Revamped Adventure Areas[edit]

Be sure to visit Sorrowdusk Isle and Tangleroot Gorge - both areas now include Slayer, Exploration, and Rare Encounter quests! These old favorites will seem like completely new areas!

Improved Friends List[edit]

The Friends List has a new look! Now, when viewing your friends list you will see all the relevant information about your friend: race, gender, class, level, guild, and party status (when they are online). You can add custom comments where you can describe your friend (as another characters alt, their playstyle, anything you like). You can also import and export your friends list across your characters.

Spell/Spell Point Rebalancing[edit]

With Mark of the Dragon, we've taken an opportunity to revisit some old decisions and have chosen to make some changes to improve the gameplay of primary spellcasting classes. These changes should go some way to close the gap between melee and casting classes while maintaining the active action based feel of Dungeons and Dragons Online.

Spell Point Pools[edit]

As the level cap has been increasing, it has become apparent that our primary spellcasting classes have not been gaining sufficient spell points to keep up with their pen and paper counterparts. Spell point progressions have been reevaluated from levels one to twenty, and some classes have received significant upgrades.

As examples, at 14th level, the following classes will see these improvements to their base spell point totals:

Wizard: +180 sp, Cleric: +250 sp, Sorcerer: +305 sp

Clerics now follow the same spell point progression as Wizards, and Sorcerers will be happy to know that they will now gain additional spell points from items that increase a character's spell point pool. A Pearl of Power that normally grants 100 extra spell points will grant a pure-class Sorcerer 200 spell points instead.

Spell Cooldowns[edit]

Our review indicated that the cooldowns of spells vary too much. Under our current system, the planned cooldown for Meteor Swarm would have been 18 seconds for Wizards, far too long for such an iconic spell. We've significantly flattened the difference in spell cooldowns from first to ninth level to make higher level spells more attractive options. That same Meteor Swarm will now have a 6.5 second cooldown for a Wizard, or 4 seconds for a Sorcerer. Clerics will benefit substantially from this change as well, as favorites such as Heal and Cometfall drop down to a 5 second cooldown from the old 12 seconds. All spells that produce a lingering effect have had their cooldowns dropped to twice the cooldown of a non-lingering spell. This does not (yet) apply to the Symbol line of spells.

Area of Effect Spells[edit]

Area of Effect spells that linger in dungeons currently have wildly varying durations. During this spell pass we've standardized the durations and cooldowns for most of these lingering effects. Planned for the near future is tech that will prevent Area of Effect spells from going through walls or doors - no longer will you have to worry that a monster's Wall of Fire will burn you through a sealed door!

Removed Scrolls from Vendors[edit]

As part of the rebalancing of spells/spell points the following spells will no longer be sold in shops in and around Stormreach. Wizards interested in learning these spells should select them while leveling up. The removed spells will still drop as treasure and at a higher rate than previously.

  • Otto's Sphere of Dancing (in that it was never added)
  • Cloudkill
  • Acid Fog
  • Wall of Fire
  • Blade Barrier
  • Glyph of Warding
  • Greater Glyph of Warding
  • Symbol of Flame
  • Symbol of Pain
  • Symbol of Weakness
  • Delayed Blast Fireball
  • Symbol of Fear
  • Symbol of Persuasion
  • Dimension Door
  • Solid Fog

General[edit]

  • Fixed an issue where players are seeing a message that says "Cleaning up old connections" indefinitely. The same message may still happen, but the player will be able to log in again normally within 10 minutes.
  • Resurrection Shrines now function in all ways like the Raise Dead spell. They will no longer drain the spellpoints of a spellcaster that uses them, and restores people to life at 10% hit points rather than at 1 hit point. This is meant to address an imbalance between the effects of death for casters versus non-casters.
  • The Coin Lords have used a portion of their increased income from the Auction House to upgrade the elementals powering the teleporters in Stormreach. Each of the teleporters in the various House wards of the city now allow anyone using them to select their destination from any of the other teleporter locations in Stormreach.
  • Damage caused by a reduction in a character's Constitution score will now reduce the character's hitpoints directly. This damage is not applied to Temporary Hitpoints gained from such spells as False Life and Aid. Care should be taken when removing +Constitution items while at low hitpoint totals.
  • Once upon a time there was a mighty warrior who had a love pure and true. But then his beloved disappeared and the mighty warrior flew into a rage. Where had the object of his passion gone? The warrior embarked upon a heroic quest to find his lost love. For an entire year the warrior searched without any sign of his beloved. And then one day…..could it be? Yet this was a different sort of love - the mighty warrior's beloved had changed, but it was his love still, and a great happiness filled the dazed warrior.
  • You can now /point at things that are farther away than 30 meters.

UI Improvements[edit]

  • The bold lock icon for locking your inventory has returned!
  • Players should once again be able to see the Who panel when opening it for the second time.
  • Talking to NPC's while in t-mode will once again bring up the mouse cursor.
  • The resistance labels in the character sheet have been replaced with icons. This fixes a bug in which the character sheet was not able to display all resistances.
  • Enhancements
    • Previously, if you attempted to train your enhancements immediately after training a new level, some enhancements would show up as unavailable. These enhancements will now be available immediately.
    • When you hit the "show unavailable" button, branches which are expanded will now show the unavailable items without requiring you to close and re-open the branch.
    • The Enhancement Training panel now has undo and redo buttons. In addition, hovering over the buttons will display what hitting the button will do. For example, if you removed a benefit that took 7 other enhancements with it, you can hover over the "undo" button to see which 7 enhancements were removed and hit the undo button to quickly put them back in your list.
  • You can no longer enter dirty words in your LFM note. Bad players! No cookie for you! PS: Anyone who tries putting a naughty word into their LFM note after reading this will get a /pseudopod smack.
  • Corrected display issue with floating damage numbers for Sneak Attacks when base weapon damage does not overcome monster's Damage Reduction.
  • Portal Screens for House Jorasco, House Kundarak, House Phairlan, House Denieth, the Market, and the Harbor have been updated to reflect the environment of each ward.
  • Skills that you have put skill points into should no longer show up as n/a on the advancement summary page.
  • Fixed a rare condition where sometimes you would get an error message stating your auction was cancelled when you weren't actually doing any auctioning.
  • If you attempt to use the /retell or /reply command before you have sent a tell or received a tell respectively, they will no longer be auto-replaced with /tell. This should prevent accidents like "/tell hey you!" sending "Hey" the message "you!"
  • The tabs in the bank have new artwork.
  • The alert icon for Beholder telekinesis now displays appropriately.
  • The Hold Monster icon has been changed to represent a troll since trolls can only be held with Hold Monster. Previously the icon featured a hobgoblin which can be held with either Hold Monster or Hold Person.

Monsters[edit]

  • We have made additional adjustments to some monster AI. For example:
    • Monsters are now slightly less oblivious when their flesh is slowly melting away as they stand in poison gas clouds.
    • Monsters tend to react more often when their friends mysteriously die.
    • Creatures that prefer range will no longer run away from players indefinitely.
    • Some monsters that had not been scaling properly with dungeon difficulty level will now scale properly.
    • And more!
  • Bosses are no longer vulnerable to the Chill Touch spell's strength damage effect.
  • Summoned monsters should no longer be affected by your lingering effects if they are summoned into them. Quest monsters that are instantly killed by lingering effects should now properly trigger events that advance quests.
  • Charmed and summoned monsters should no longer get stuck after defeating an opponent.
  • Charmed monsters should no longer attempt to return to their home point while charmed.
  • Hobgoblins and Orcs are now properly affected by effects that increase or reduce their movement, such as Slow, Haste, or Solid Fog.
  • The Cloven-Jaw Scout hobgoblins are now using their hide skill properly. They were not hiding and now they are.
  • You can now click on Hellcats.
  • Iron Defender variants that possess various elemental breath weapons now actually deal damage with those breath weapons again.
  • Creatures that regenerate (such as trolls) will no longer produce holy death effects unless actually killed by a holy, light, or positive energy effect.
  • Wolves and other canines no longer possess an AOE trip ability. Their trip attacks have been tied directly to their bite attacks, and must hit before application. (Some canines, especially those of low CR, may only trip on critical hits.)
  • Patrolling wolves no longer attempt to scratch at fleas while moving.
  • The giant skeletons in Gianthold Tor no longer have a chance to display an empty collectible shiny when they die. They are not supposed to drop collectibles.

Combat[edit]

  • Spurred by the continued development of the Monk, it has become time to address Evasion in medium and heavy armor. From now on the Rogue class ability Evasion will only function in light or no armor, when not helpless, and when not heavily encumbered. We are intentionally deviating from the Player's Handbook in permitting Evasion while moderately encumbered as a character in DDO cannot say to their DM: "I drop my pack full of treasure on the ground, I'll pick it back up later."
  • You can no longer chain rage and avoid fatigue altogether. Additionally, in Update 4.2 barbarian rage fatigue will be changed to allow any effect that dispels fatigue to remove it.
  • Fixed a minor glitch in skill values refreshing related to changing armor while heavily encumbered.
  • Lay on hands and remove disease now pay on execution. If you get your animation interrupted, you don't lose your activation cost.

Spells[edit]

  • All spells that produce a lingering effect have had their cooldowns dropped to twice the cooldown of a non-lingering spell.
  • Dimension Door's cooldown has been dropped from five minutes to one minute for non-Sorcerers. Sorcerers retain their old 30 second cooldown.
  • Cure Critical Wounds is now a Spontaneous Cast spell like the rest of the Cure Wounds spells. This means that Cure Critical Wounds is always memorized in the Cleric's Spell book and may not be removed.
  • The temporary hit points gained from casting Aid and Mass Aid will no longer stack with each other.
  • The Sorcerer spells Magic Circle Against Evil and Mass Fox's Cunning no longer share the same cooldown.
  • Wizards are now able to inscribe Scrolls of Banishment to add the spell to their known spells list.
  • The Knock spell can now be learned by Wizards when training.
  • Other players will now be able to see your Niac's Cold Ray.
  • Resurrection effects will no longer claim incorrectly that you can have "Self" as a target.

Skills, Feats, & Abilities[edit]

  • Warforged can now freely respec their body feats. Fred's tentacles are mighty indeed!
  • Cleave and Great Cleave no longer check to see if you are facing your currently selected target (after all, you may have other enemies within the covered attack arc).
  • Inspire Courage now correctly upgrades at level 14.
  • A problem with improved precise shot using autoattack has been fixed.
