Release Notes: Update 19 Patch 1
Welcome to the Release Notes for Dungeons & Dragons Online! These release notes were posted on Thursday, August 29th, 2013.

News & Notes

Enhancements

The Alpha Strike enhancement can now be taken.
Fixed an issue with the Dragonmark of Finding that raised the level of loot inside of a treasure chest more than the indicated level. Sorry.

Beguile no longer functions on bosses or raid bosses, and now applies the correct benefit.

Hall of Heroes
Corrected the "Buy Now" link to the Hall of Heroes in the Character Selection screen.

Iconic Heroes

Removed several incorrect hair styles from Shadar-Kai characters.

Quests and Adventure Areas

Fixed an issue with Guest Passes that prevented them from working.

Menace of the Underdark

The Lost Thread

Fixed an issue where Cormul Haythorne could fail to appear.
The Necropolis

Accursed Ascension
Someone had replaced the Iceball Wand with an Illusionary Iceball Wand. The prankster has been forced to do the Ice Puzzle, and the proper wand has returned.

Shadowfell Conspiracy

Shadow Over Wheloon
Fixed an issue where Edric Crastmere would get stuck in his dialog after chain completion, preventing players from completing the chain.

Vault of Night

Tharashk Arena
Fixed an issue with the end reward list.

Raids

Heroic and Epic raid completions are now tracked separately for the purposes of calculating special 20th completion end reward lists. Existing progress has been placed into the Heroic and Epic completion columns as appropriate.
Fixed an issue that caused special 20th completion end reward lists to display regular end reward lists. NOTE: 20th completion lists now recognize whether you had completed the raid on Heroic or Epic, and return the 20th completion reward list every 20th Heroic or 20th Epic completion.
The /quest completions command now tells you how many Heroic and Epic raid completions you have.
Other

Fixes to address an instance crashing issue that was running amuck.

Hmm.  Interesting update on 20th completions.  I imagine we can get greater lootz from 20th Epic Completions as apposed to 20 Heroic.

I wonder if raids like ADQ will drop Epic Torc/Ring of Spell Storing/Etc. on epic 20th completions instead of base items.

Morel likely that they'll have a chance to drop +5 tomes, instead, I guess.

Still, interesting to know...

At least I can reset my Season's Herald tree and take a third cleave...

Sagas are still good though!

I'd be happy if they started giving you a list of shards to choose from.  A completed epic items list would be awesome.  I'd actually run those again.  As would quite a few people, id guess.  Epic items still have value, particularly as leveling gear.

You are very optimistic. This would actually make sense. But it would be a dramatic change, and I can't see this happening with the current update. They just parted heroic/epic because they had problems restoring the old condition.

Well the right move about the old epic items would be to extend the scroll exchange and add a shard and a seal exchange that covers all the items.
At the same time, create new items under the current system, but let old base items drop for while too, so that people can complete what they wanted though the shard/seal/scroll exchange.

That way we would empty our bags of seals/shards/scrolls, and we would have a new interest into getting in all those old raids/quests.

Also, I am glad they finally fixed this. It was dumb that you could get a key to Eveningstar but then not do the quests until you completed the crossover chain. What the hell was the key supposed to be for window shopping?

It was also even dumber that I got threatened with a profanity ban about this issue last week for this:

Seriously...profanity not aimed at the person when it's clearly an adult and not another player to boot should never be an issue for a support person. I do support on a daily basis. Some of my customers use profanity...it's computer support after all. The only time we have an issue is when it's aimed at me. They can call their computers whatever they'd like and I'm good with that. Smiley

Depends on the industry and the customer base in question.  I can see why, in the online gaming industry, they would take a more firm stance on this.  As seen in these forums, a good portion of the player base has ITG syndrome to some degree and takes an online computer game way too seriously.

Who the fuck these "game masters" think they are? Never can help you with anything, then asking "is there something else I can help you with?" Well, you didn't help me in the first place, useless asshole...

That's why I never use bug report or contact a GM. It's a waste of time.

But this example - wow. In addition to being useless, he thinks he's some kind of authority and his role is to play god and school paying customers. A complete failure in his job.

Well, the profanity wasn't *really* the issue. The problem was you came too close to their new slogan before their marketing department had time for their publicity push. In a few weeks we'll see the big promo

"Turbine, where the shit hits our fans"
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Love that song...  Last time I saw Warren play, he did a great job on it.  He later got pissed and shouted "okay, I'll play the fucking song" and did a crappy werewolves...

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

Even if completed epic items are on the 20th lists for DQ and VON, it's too little too late.  This would have been great when the level cap was 20. The only useful epic items at cap are clickies like RoSS and Dusk Heart, and I wouldn't hold my breath at seeing an eRoSS.

It still has *some* worth, IMO.  Just gives us a little more incentive to run older epics if we can get completed epic items.

Of course, because it makes sense, it will never happen.

not yet they say Sad but that is why they put the change in.

this suggests that when they release future raids you can run it on heroic or epic and be able to get twink gear from heroic version of raid, and end game loot from epic version.....interesting......

Seems like, at this time, a totally pointless change.  It does nothing but separate Heroic completions from Epic ones. 

Why bother changing it now...?

Against the Demon Queen : Heroic: 19 / Epic : 0

Now i need to run a heroic to get my reward due to turbines continued inability, giving up a token in the process.

I guess it could'a been worse- a 20th heroic completion of fall or web would be a bit harder to achieve. The completions did count as epics for these.

Edit: I stand corrected as per Turk's post.
