Highlights


New Zone: Lost City of Omu
A new zone is available in the greater area of Chult! Available from the gates of Port Nyanzaru, players can delve deeper into the jungle to find the Lost City of Omu in hopes of finding the cause of--and the solution to--the death curse. Hunt new monsters and earn new items!

More info coming soon!

Campaign Update: Jungles of Chult
Alongside the new zone is a new addition to the Jungles of Chult campaign! Complete several new tasks, earn new ranks of the Jungles of Chult boons, and open up access to the new Trial, Cradle of the Death God.

More info coming soon!


New Trial: Cradle of the Death God
Explore the hidden depths of a previously-hidden extension of the Tomb of the Nine Gods. This ten-player Trial pits players against a fearsome creation of Acererak, and if the adventurers succeed, they could get rid of the death curse once and for all.

NOTE: This Trial is not yet available on NeverwinterPreview!

Official Feedback Thread: Cradle of the Death God


Quality of Life Improvements and Bug Fixes
Remember the October Bugfix Month thread? A lot of fixes we made during October are going live with this module! Among the quality of life improvements are:
  • "Protect Item" functionality to prevent specific items from being deleted, sold, or consumed.
  • Fashion Bag: A new place for all your extra fashion items, with 24 slots by default.
  • Need or Greed: Auto-rolling functionality has been added, allowing players to roll for loot without a pesky popup.
Official Feedback Thread: Fashion Bag



New Masterwork Profession Recipes
Additional quests and recipes have been added for Masterwork Professions! Grab some new Explorer's Charts and pick up a quest from your Stronghold, which will give you access to Volumes IV and V of your recipe books.

As always, these are subject to change while on Preview - especially the recipe requirements!

Official Feedback Thread: Masterwork Professions Vol. IV & V


Level 60-70 Experience Re-Smoothing
We've taken another pass on the experience curve and the general feel of levels 60-70. The content has had various minor updates to smooth out gameplay, while the experience requirements to get from level 60 to 70 have been drastically reduced.

Note that the experience rewards from Elemental Evil content and other post-60 content, which were much higher than other content, have also been reduced proportionally.

Official Feedback Thread: Level 60-70 XP


Loadouts Expansion
Loadouts now track your summoned companions, their equipment, mounts, and insignas. Check out the Loadouts entry under the UI heading for details!

Known issue: Sometimes, loadouts don't properly change when the player attempts to do so.

    Is the title of the thread right? Or did we go back to Sword of Chult?
  • obsidiancran3obsidiancran3 Member Posts: 1,823 Arc User
    Might want to change the heading to Lost City ;)

    The Damage Dealt buff from Break the Spirit is now 20%, reduced from 30%.
    I know this is semantics at this point... but the damage buff is actually 21% with 3x Emp stacks, rather than 20%.

  • silverrrrrrrsilverrrrrrr Member Posts: 145 Arc User
    Overall, awesome. I expected the DC nerfs to be much worse, so it was a bittersweet surprise. I think this might be the mod where I am disappointed with the least amount of things. :tongue:

    I note that the change to how weapon enchantments work hurts not AOE characters so much as DoTs. Like Conduit of Ice and Icy Terrain. Which I guess is fine; Lightning works against lots of targets which is how it's supposed to work.

    Bugs with Control Wizard:

    - Storm Spell doesn't follow the players crit chance.
    - Shatter doesn't follow the player's crit chance.
    - Steal Time does not proc weapon enchants.
    - Icy Rays does not proc weapon enchants.
    - 3rd cast of Chilling cloud (The AOE part) does not prco weapon enchants. 1 and 2 do.
    - The 3/4/5 hit of Magic Missiles do not proc weapon enchants per hit. For some reason they only proc them once for 3 hits.
    - Storm Pillar's Arc isn't able to crit.
    - If Shatter (Capstone in OP tree) is able to crit, shouldn't Assailiant (Cap stone in Thaum Tree) be able to crit as well?


    CW is going to need some buffs to replace the multi procing weapon enchants. Allowing Storm spell to crit is great, but doesn't replace the 20%+ damage they have lost.

    Bugs:

    - Level 70 XP overflow reward is infinite/recurring. It keeps giving rewards (not checking if it's really infinite).
    - Level 70 XP gain is too high.
    - Hunter Ranger encounter Cordon of Arrow seem to be broken. Often hits 1 mob with no control effects. They were only supposed to fix the ranged non-crit. This state is far worse than live. Please revert back to live version. Also, somehow it's now insta-cast instead of having a delay (just pointing it out, that it could be a reason why it's broken ).
    - Tyrant/Pilgrim bows/axes are scaled too small (like cupid bow/tiny pickaxe small ).
    - Spellflinger offensive effect ring has defensive slots.
    - So far no Companion pack shown in new Lockbox ( judging from Resurgence box ). Companion upgrade tokens are far too essential to be removed. It's been replaced by a new pack.
    - Lost Artifact pack is also holdover from last Lockbox. There is already a glut of green/blue/purple Soulsight Artifacts. Hopefully just an oversight. It's completely inane and unnecessary.

    Great Weapon Fighter

    Come and Get It: This power now shows a buff icon when used.
    Come and Get It: This power should now correctly apply on all appropriate powers.
    Mighty Blade now increases damage dealt when striking more than one enemy.
    Mighty Blade now grants 2/4/6/8/10% increased damage, down from 2.5/5/7.5/10/12.5%.
    Punishing Charge now has all 4 charges for each rank.
    Slam can now critically strike.
    Steadfast Determination: The amount of Determination gained through this Class Feature has been tripled.
    Steadfast Determination: The artifact off-hand bonus has been increased to 10%, up from 3%.
    Wicked Strike: The Artifact Off-hand bonus for this power should now correctly apply to the player.

    While some changes are appreciatied, it's still far from enough for others paths/some powers

    Come and Get it : as long as it deals no damage, it will not be worth at all taking (damage boost too low, Hidden Daggers way way better)
    Slam : great.
    Punishing Charge : lack of damages.
    Steadfast : I can only see its use in paths that are not destroyer, but they're not worth.

    You should have gone further with the changes. Changing one power will not make a path more attractive if what's around is bad.

    Right now what's needed to be changed/buffed are :

    - feat : Instigator's Vengeance, Nimble Runner, Crippling Strike, Stunning Flourish, Instigator's Vengeance, Grudge Style, Sentinel's Aegis.

    - powers : both reaping strike, restoring strike, mighty leap, not so fast, punishing strike and grand fissure heavily lack damages.

    Geas: The Divine version of this power no longer has a baked-in diminished duration when cast successively on the same target. The effect still respects diminishing returns in PvP.

    This is the only change listed for Geas, but the tooltip contains a much bigger change to this power.

    I have not been as disappointed in a mod's patch notes as this one. I really hope that it is something that groes on you but not sure about that this might lead to more exodus at mid level players


    I really hope I am wrong
    There are more than BIS players in this game
    RIP Real Tiamat, RIP Real Demogorgon RIP real Temple of the spider. Why remove non bis content to give to bis players ????
    FORCING the majority of your player base to play 4 mod old dungeons and trial will have a bad result on player base
    Changes are getting so bad i would rather prefer no new changes (RIP ICE FISHING in winter fest)

    Several backend changes have been made to the queue system. As a result, the accept / decline popup will appear before the "Waiting for Map" step.

    What is the net effect of this adjustment ? what problems does this attempt to solve with the pvp Queue ?

    @terramak will the fashion tab have extra slots item to buy to increase the number of slots? will we be able to have more than one type of the same fashion in case we want to color it with different color?

    When you random q to a dungeon please do not load the party before you accept. you can clearly see a group is in mps/fbi and then just decline. if this does not happen more will join these groups

    These are awesome. I'm glad that every class that needs something is getting it. Also, it's a lot of text so I didn't notice - does Slam proc enchants now?

    will the templock be considered as a healer when I queue with it ?

    Will the sw fury feats being upgraded/buffed show the that they are being buffed by power and what their current value is?

    "Character Sheet - Stats"

    After copying a level 70 character from live server to preview server I had less stats.

    Defense, critical strike chance and severity, resistance ignored, etc.

    Is this a bug or intended?

    R.I.P. Lightning Enchantment - at least for a CW it no longer seems to be an option.

    Combat and Powers, pt. 2

    The feat, Weapons of Light, no longer stacks while multiple Clerics are present. The strongest version of this feat will apply.
    They still stack.

    Exaltation no longer stacks when multiple clerics cast it on the same target.
    ... but most important of all, now it has a debuff icon!

    Anyway it still stacks if a DC uses it on himself and then gets buffed by another DC, but it does not stack if two clerics use it on a third character.

    Hastening Light: This class feature can no longer incorrectly proc while it isn't slotted.
    In the October bugfix thread you claimed to have fixed Anointed Army/Flame Strike triggering Hastening Light twice (this bug only occurs if you hit enemies with these dailies). It's not fixed though.

    We've been reporting this bug for more than one year...


    This tooltip is wrong, the range is 50'.
