Anniversary Update in February, before Sharn
Jan 10th, 2019 at 5:12pm
Print Post  
from livestream with cordo

Next few weeks
- Producers letter for 2019.
- Large performance update for buyback, bard buffs, and a "runaway enhancement effect."

For February
- Currently they are looking at altering the agro system and the favor system. (Falconry will be in there.)
- Anniversary update. (Will now include Lynnabel.)
- Sharn is next after this minor update.
- Anniversary gift this year will not be as good as the old raid loot from the 10th anniversary.

other random shit
- LOTRO is doing a beta of a 64-bit client. DDO could theoretically receive a 64-bit client but there are no plans.
- They would rather delete the TR cache than make any changes to it.
- They unsure about class passes at this point. They will do some further work on spell casting "sometime."
- They are thinking about doing some things to guild airships.
- One of the developers may do some work on hirelings.
- Tiefling is not confirmed for the pre-purchase.
- SSG is fewer than 100 people.
- Travelerium has been totally scrapped.
- Jerry would like whips added to the game.  Cheesy

~

I just skimmed through the video looking at the twitch chat, so if there was any other relevant stuff let me know.

Nice, going back to p2p?
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Or not play and give wishy-washy answers to questions that shouldn't even be addressed.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Exactly, I find it so aggravating when this happens. It gives the niche self-interested agitator oxygen, that usually leads to developer withdrawal from discussion or worse they end up wasting precious time and energy trying to please a segment that can never be satisfied and would die before admitting to being satisfied even if they were.

This week's summary: Nothing important.

Next week (or so) discussion with Steelstar and/or Lynnabel about Sharn loot.
Cordo saw Tieflings dance. And horns on their avatar.
Producer letter drafted.
And bla bla, anniversary update before anniversary, maybe probably should have Falconry and maybe probably should include Knight's Training.

It is available for favor in game.   Nothing about the actual tree.

A lot of passive effects apply to the character multiple times. In some cases, this is only cleared by TR. Types of effects that cause this range from epic destinies, enhancements, feats, equipment, etc. As far as I understand it, the duplicate, but non-stacking, effects are transmitted to other characters in the same instance as the affected character and have to be processed anytime a new effect is added/removed from that character. Like the ladder bug, they currently fix these issues by changing the effects individually instead of fixing the underlying issue and new ones are introduced when new items, enhancements, etc are introduced. If nothing else, it provides job security.


Also related to the anniversary patch:

Quote:
I think it'll be a good anniversary event. Got some cool new items in the party favor trade in, some nice quality of life things, all throwing weapons might not deal damage anymore right now but we're gonna fix that before it launches, a few tweaks to the party challenge

That steelstar quote is gorgeous. I suppose this is why we're supposed to not program using inheritance?
