Wednesday Livestream
- Lamannia has been up since yesterday and will be up through Thursday!
- Dev Event tonight on Lamannia
- 30% Challenge reward boost starting October 31- November 3rd (this will also boost Night Revels mats too)
- Monday is the last day of Night Revels
- UI Update in U44: Character sheets will have a new tab on the side that will give you statistics on things such as spell penetration modifiers and Elemental Damage Absorption percentages.
- UI Update: The Adventure Compendium will now allow you to search heroic quests and their epic versions separately.
- Negative Spell Power items will also give Poison Spell Power (this will be mostly important for the Alchemist class coming later after u44)
- Korthos will be (and always will be by the sound of it) the area we start from on a non iconic character, but with Keep on the Borderland you can skip the story line of Korthos and go run that content instead. It will NOT be a new starter area, just a new set of starter content.
Mount news!
- Animal forms will toggle off when equipping mounts.
- Mounts do not have equipment slots, they are themselves equipment, so no cosmetics for them. This doesn't mean that DDO wont have mounts that are cosmetically charming in the future.
- Mounts can not use ladders
- They can swim through and dive into water, they also share feather fall with you if you have feather falling items or spell effects.
- You can not stealth on mounts.
