Hello, all!

- We are currently working towards putting together a Lamannia preview featuring some (but not all) of the changes planned to come to DDO in the near future. We currently expect it to be up at some point on Tuesday 10/3/2017 and to run until sometime on Thursday 10/5/2017. It is in the realm of possibility that this will be pushed and instead come up later in the week (likely Wednesday) and we'll let you know if that happens.

- Assuming everything goes as expected (which is never a guarantee) this preview will be looking at the following features:

- Reincarnation: Improvements have been made to the reincarnation system to prevent loss of items while undergoing the process!

- Ravenloft Expansion Features: Some of the features from the upcoming Ravenloft expansion are available for early preview!
  • Race: Aasimar: A new heroic Eberron race which will be available in all Ravenloft Expansion bundles.
  • Universal Enhancement Tree: Vistani Knife Fighter: A new universal enhancement tree which will be available in select (but not all) Ravenloft Expansion bundles.
  • New Cosmetics: A variety of cosmetic outfits, helms, pets, and weapon aura's which will be available in select (but not all) Ravenloft Expansion bundles.


- Bug Fixes: A collection of bug fixes which will be coming in either U36 Patch 3 or in a small hotfix prior to the scheduled patch.

- We will have more detailed release notes after we lock down the preview build candidate.

Great, another race to farm out... Well, at least I still have all of the others since I don't play anymore.

Thrill as the expansion pre-order goes on sale 2 days before the release! And is bugged, so anyone stupid enough to pre-order misses all the special items!

Unless you pay us in real cash we are holding the "Racial completionist" feat you just ground out hostage.  Thanks for all your hard work.

Also, available via pay-to-win only, we've added something that might, until we nerf it, make melee builds viable again.

Oh, and we now acknowledge that while there was nothing wrong with our code there may have been a problem on your end with reincarnation and we've fixed it.  You should thank us with cash.

But but but wait, there's more! Before you do all that, play our expansion code lottery; where 1 in 5 codes don't work and if you're one of the lucky ones, you'll get try your luck with our outsourced customer service! Where another 1 in 5 will get a helpful and timely response! But only if you buy the top-tier bundle!

Of course I'll buy it.  As sad of a state DDO can be in times there's also the fact that the pre-motu stuff is still some of the best dungeoneering in video game history.

You go play WoW and every dungeon is the same colon of a dungeon where you get go in one end and get shit out the other with 2~4 boss fights and forgettable trash along the way.

Can you imagine having to double back to get keys or hit levers in other MMO dungeons?  Dead ends?  Secret doors with traps and/or treasure chests behind them?  Jumping puzzles.  I shudder to imagine people in WoW trying to do Rainbow in the Dark.

I mean in WoW the Lich King, the ultimate conflict in the game, they were so proud of their 'The ground breaks' mechanic and I'm like, "motherfucker the ice breaks in a level 1 Korthos quest in DDO you ain't special."

So yeah, as fucking shitty and cash grabby as a lot of their shit has been as of late they're keeping the lights on so I'll keep buying shit so that Coco can afford Taco Ball for lunch.  I ain't gonna buy Otto's boxes, no Chipotle for that guy until they standardize cone AE's to not have a seperate targeting/hitbox rule for each fucking one....

I have had weeks to make a good battle mage or divine Visanti but haven't been happy with any of my drafts.  Waiting to see what others come up with.

I have done 10 classes through reaper so far with Ranger and Rogue still to do.  So that works out.

Any ideas if they'll make it available by TP like they used to for MotU or Shadowfell? It's the only way I bought them since I refuse to do real money into this game. I've been expecting for years for it to go belly-up, and it just... hasn't...

That's my fault, I keep spending real money on the game. I see now what a mistake that was.

No worries, the bugs are that you don't actually get any of the special items anyway.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

I missed MOTU, if I'd pre-ordered I'd have 3 separate permanent hirelings now! I'll never make that mistake again.

Though hopefully they really will come up with something better than "some shitty cosmetics". Unless its a cosmetic Tesyus thats full-tesyus-sized. I'd be content with that.

Your real lucky, but my ddo store hasn't been working since last update so I couldn't buy anything from it, saving me my 20 bucks budget and spending it on some food instead. $ saved!

You mean the awesome as fuck Elite Spider Cult Mask that has no equivalent?

For preorders SSG should offer an eternal XP pot with a 3 hour duration and 7 day cooldown that stacks with all other XP bonuses.  The bonus amount would be based on edition: 5% for base edition, 10% for standard edition and 15% for collector's edition.  If they wanted to incentive the purchase of multiple editions for each account, then the bonuses could stack with themselves for 30% XP a meager 3 hours/week.

Jesus Satan, calm down there my wallet is already preparing to suffer as is.

That being said; the spider mask pisses me off to this day. I have the fugly purple one because I spent MORE money, and they refuse to let you get/use the silver one. Like come on. I paid to lose fashion wise.

I have, and forever shall, wear the ugly AF bunny hat because it gives a bonus to UMD and jump; and at the end of the day I'd rather have that than look cool.

Love the eternal XP pot, though, fucking amazing idea. SSG will find a way to fuck it up(such as making it tick down while you aren't in quests), but its a fun thought.

I think they chose Standing Stone Games because no part of that easily turns into "turd" or anything you place turds in, like a bin of some sort.

I too wear the Bunny Hat on both of my toons - because of the reasons listed above, but also because its a little bit upgradeable too.
