Quote:
Here are the Lamannia Release Notes for Update 35, released for preview on 3/7/2017. These notes will change over time.

Of Special Note:

Dragonborn
A new player race is available! The Dragonborn is free to VIP players, and available to purchase in the DDO Store for everyone else. NOTE: Character paths are not available for Dragonborn characters at this time.

New Raid
A new raid is now available for preview! Riding the Storm Out can be accessed by the NPC named Dalwyneth, located near the fountain in the Stormreach Marketplace.

Two New Quests
Two new quests are now available for preview! Both The Newcomers and Black and Blue can be accessed by the NPC's Yoldorim and Mikyra respectively, located near the fountain in the Stormreach Marketplace.

Racial Reincarnation
Players can now choose to have their characters undergo a racial reincarnation! The process is similar to a True Reincarnation, and can be done by visiting the Reincarnation Grove in the Hall of Heroes. A new item called a Heart of Blood is needed for Reincarnation, which can be purchased in the DDO Store and via Tokens of the Twelve.

News and Notes:

Combat
Monsters killed by instant death effects will now share their aggro normally to their allies.

Dragonborn
Dragonborn's enhancement tree is available for preview.

Enhancements

   •Vanguard's Melee Power Boost now properly benefits from abilities that grant Extra Action Boosts.
   •Vanguard's Melee Power Boost now has a cooldown consistent with other Action Boosts.
   •Vanguard's Melee Power Boost is now Melee and Ranged Power.
   •Vanguard's Melee and Ranged Power Boost now shares a cooldown with other Action Boosts.
   •Ravager's Melee Power Boost now has text properly reflecting that it also grants Ranged Power.
   •Battle Engineer's Action Boost: Damage has been changed to Action Boost: Melee and Ranged Power.
   •Weapon Attachment's cooldown is now 15 seconds for Warforged, Bladeforged, and Artificers. Its induction time is now 2 seconds, and will no longer disappear when traveling through portals.
   •Henshin Mystic's Balance in Dawn's healing now scales properly in Reaper difficulty.

Many racial enhancement trees have been adjusted. The adjustments are as follows:

Warforged and Bladeforged
   •Repair Systems has had its cost reduced to 1 Action Point per rank.
   •(Warforged Only): Mithral Fluidity reduces Armor Check by 2/4/6.
   •Warforged's Adamantine Fluidity is now 4/8/12.
   •Bladeforged's Brute Fighting now matches the rest of the game.
   •Improved Power Attack is now 1 AP.
   •(Warforged Only): There is now a new enhancement called Memories of the Last War, which is a Tier 3 and 4 enhancement which requires 15 AP spent in the tree, and costs 1 AP:
      •Choose from the following:
        •+15 Determination Bonus to Melee and Ranged Power
        •+25 Determination Bonus to Universal Spell Power
        •+3 Determination Bonus to all Saving Throws.
        •+8 Determination Bonus to Armor Class and Physical Resistance Rating.
        •The Tier 4 version allows a character to make a second choice from the above list that is not the same as the one selected for Tier 3.

Half-orc
   •Orcish Weapon Training is now +1/2/3/4 to-hit and damage with one-handed Melee weapons, and +2/4/6/8 with two-handed Melee weapons.
   •Lock Bash is no longer tied to a Dragonmark or Sunder. This enhancement now has a cooldown, and a new animation. Lock Bash is no longer influenced by or required to have Thieves' Tools.
   •Orcish Rage is now an Action Boost: Orcish Rage now grants +40 Melee Power and a +2 Primal Bonus to Strength, and no longer reduces Physical Resistance Rating. Orcish Rage continues to prevent spellcasting, and causes monks to be uncentered. This Action Boost shares a cooldown with other Action Boosts.
   •Improved Power Attack is now 1 AP.
   •Power Rage now has a third rank, and the Barbarian requirement has been removed.
   •Brutality is no longer specific to two-handed weapons.

Dwarf
   •Child of the Mountain no longer reduces Reflex Saving Throws.
   •Dwarven Hands of Stone's DC is now 10 + Character Level + Constitution modifier + Transmutation Bonuses

   •Vicious, Slashing, and Forceful Chain have had their cost reduced to 1 AP.



Epic Destinies

   •Legendary Dreadnought's Damage Boost is now Melee and Ranged Power.
   •Legendary Dreadnought's Action Boosts should not fail as often when activating several things rapidly.



Items

   •Heroic Executioner's Platemail was using Epic Armor Class values. This has been corrected.
   •Players with outdated versions of Firebreak (Heroic and Epic), Wall of Wood (Heroic and Epic), and the Epic Corruption of Nature can now update these items in the Stone of Change.

Monsters

   •Air elementals only knock down characters when actively engaging in their charge behavior.



Reincarnation

   •Characters can now undergo a Racial Reincarnation. The Past life feats are as follows, the first for the first reincarnation, the second for the second reincarnation. The third reincarnation is always +1 Racial Action Point:

      •Human: +2 Haggle, +1 Wisdom
      •Dragonborn: +2 Spellcraft, +1 Charisma


   •Items are preserved in inventory during a Racial Reincarnation, instead of being placed in your TR Cache.

Miscellaneous

   •The Captain has been added to the Lamannia Test Dojo. This NPC gives characters all Guild Buffs available.
   •Update 35 items can now be found in the Test Dojo.
   •The Character Bank tab has been updated to match the Shared Account bank UI. (Note: This is very likely NOT going live until after U35.)

Cordovan Quote:
The main bullet points for Update 35 are the new Dragonborn race and an adventure pack containing two quests and a raid. There's also a fairly large amount of racial enhancement work, and the debut of racial reincarnation, which players will be able to see soon on Lamannia.

So I don't have a link, but I remember Sev answering the question about racial reincarnation being only going forward, with new races.

But it was Sev so take that for what it is worth.

My guildie got an infraction for NDA disclosure for posting that on the mothershitboard a couple weeks ago, and later banned.  So basically Insane Cordovan admitted racial reincarnation was being added with Dragonborn thanks to using that infraction when he could've used something else. Thanks Mad Jerry.

Quote:
Since Racial Completionist is coming soon with Dragonborn, I hope the Paladin Council is considering that Race Completionist feat should not be auto-granted and instead cost a feat like regular completionist. This work is being done in the shadows so players can't prep and sit at cap waiting to immediately jump on the Racial TR train on release, this is the only way we normal players can be heard.


Oh yeah, incoming Fran head explosion.

Anything to keep the Hamsters on the wheel.

As an aside, does anyone have eyes on the Dragonborn tree?

Asking for a friend...

Edited:
I'll bet dollars of Real World money that the 1st class level is Sorc. Because fuck players, that's why.


Edited:
I take that last edit back... It'll be Barbarian. Because then you need to buy and Alignment Change as well.

It's similar to True Reincarnation in some but not all aspects, but races instead of classes. Yes. No (sorry). You'll know a lot more about it when we preview it on Lamannia soon, perhaps as soon as early next week.


Sounds like this means we'll no longer be able to get both class and racial past lives at once, like how we currently can with the Iconic races?

good thing I got those ones ahead of time...

Surprising.

A lot of people (myself included obviously) considered Dragonborn a foregone conclusion, unless there's a Dragonborn standard race and just no ICONIC Dragonborn race, which I'd be 100% fine with.

Must have not had enough Rocktarz™ or an intern to get the Iconic done.

Edited:
Just Goodled it. It's only a standard race. This is what happens when you don't give a fuck about things.

You're not really this clueless are you? Love it or hate it, they did it to drive revenue by giving people significant things to grind through lives for. Anything that makes people TR or RR (whatever they end up calling it) makes money for SSG.

There are a ton of people like me that have a whole stable of toons parked at end-game, they don't make much money off those toons currently. But if you throw in some decent PL sweetness, or buff the trees you will have players like me TR or RR, and invariably spending more dough.

When you think things can't get worse...

If these DEVs actually wanted to kill a game they couldn't do it better than what they've done.

That's a given. There will be new ing. systems. DDO is a thin veneer haphazardly thrown over a collection of ing. systems. Everywhere you look, another ing. system. Ing. systems all the way down.

Honestly I think the Racial PLs are a great idea, like I dunno why people are so upset by the concept. If you don't like reincarnation... don't reincarnate, there's tons of players with 10 year old characters who've never reincarnated once.

It's really great, though. I wasn't particularly taken by the Iconic PLs, too much grind on too ugly of classes. Then of course I was sad about having finished several heroic PLs(only have a few more of the really fun ones left). So, for me, this gives me an excuse to re-play the class PLs I already have 3 of because, hey, I'm earning a race PL!!!!
  

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.

I would hope it's something more interesting than this, but we wont know until Lamma goes live.

Sorry man,

That right there will make them some money if they make it's purchase separate from the tokens and comms of the existing hearts. They can probably get away with it this time around as well, there isn't anywhere near the player base for a bridge-type demonstration anymore. Additionally, by waiting to announce it so close to launch they can avoid telegraphing the heart requirement prematurely and giving opposition time to organize and complain before it's a done deal.

I hope they don't mess it up, because I'm pretty excited to do it. I wish they had gotten Lamma up this week, I'd love to see what past lives give.

Hopefully they will make Horcs less of a compromise to play.
