Hello, all! Preview 1 of Update 47 is open! It is expected to remain open until sometime in the late afternoon (Eastern) of Thursday June 25th.

This preview is expected to contain the following features:

• Legendary The Lord of Blades
• Legendary The Master Artificer
• Legendary A Vision of Destruction
• A New Standalone Dungeon: The Promise of Flame
• New Named Loot

In addition to those primary features it also contains the following miscellaneous changes and bugfixes:

Character

• Warlock Focused Blast Range has been increased by 20%
• Warlock's Mage Armor pact spell now appears at the correct spell level
• Warlock: Celestial Pact's description now properly states that it requires non-chaotic rather than must be good

Items

• New Generation 2 split-set filigree have been released, check the Threads of Fate crafting window to see them.
• Globe of True Imperial Blood now properly enforces its intended ML
• Several random loot shields have had their descriptions corrected
• Smoke Screen no longer overrides certain other concealment bonuses.
• Alchemical Crafting no longer requires raid-specific crafting ingredients. If you have any extra raid-tier alchemical crafting ingredients, you may turn them in for Sharn/Nearly Finished crafting ingredients at a Cannith Melting Station.
• The Rune Arms found in Sharn now have more appropriate icons
• The following potions can now be used while raging
  
  • Lesser Restoration
  • Remove Blindness
  • Remove Curse
  • Remove Disease

Quests

• The House Cannith raids - "The Lord of Blades" and "The Master Artificer" - no longer require playing prerequisite quests to flag for them on any difficulty.
• Patriach's Crypt: Fixed a bug that causes the named item reward chest not to spawn sometimes.
• Missing: Fixed an issue in the quest "Missing" where you could not complete the Mark of Madness optional because you could not interact with some of the NPCs.
• Demon Sands - Wind Lasher snare arrows have had their duration greatly reduced.

Miscellaneous

• VIP's now gain +1% Quest Completion XP per party member.
• Spell DCs by school and tactical bonuses are now visible on the character sheet details (+) tab
• Warforged and Bladeforged characters now properly display footprints while Death Follows You is toggled on.
• NPC Gnome Male Hairs are now weighted properly, and will not drift away from the head during animations.
• Fixed a bug causing some accounts to not adhere to character slot limits. When logging into the game, if you have more characters then slots, you will get a dialog box to allow you to select which characters are playable.

Yeah boyeeeeeeee!!!

[Yamani]

This should be interesting, opening up the preview server the night before hardcore 3 opens for everyone.

It'll give us VIPs something to do, for sure.

3 raids will be amazing for the raid scene. Here is to hoping they are fun and challenging - but below difficulty of THTH on normal.
I am looking forward to running these when I lead PUG raids twice a week on Ghallanda

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

Looking forward to this, hope there is some good loot and fun content!

If someone already used their "get all the existing adventure packs for free" coupon, will they be able to get these quests and raids without paying extra?

Itll probably be similar to shroud when it was made legendary, if you have the heroic version you already have the legendary version.

The one that could potentially be a "pack" would be the standalone quest but I expect thatll be free content like tower of frost.

To my knowledge whenever you buy a pack that has both heroic and epic versions you get both when you make the purchase. Otherwise folks would end up having to pay twice for the same pack

This is amazing news! Do we have to flag for LOB and MA? Also do we have to run through Cannith slayer area to the raids or wayfinder is provided? Thank you!!

Should explore cogs a bit more, you might find an interesting door tucked away in a corner somewhere :P

(Just saying it possibly could also go in sharn, not guaranteed.)

Would be such a waste to put a house cannith door in but have no use for it!

[Draxis]

Here's hoping Divine Vengeance isn't too weirdly implemented to rule out a legendary upgrade.

[janave]

This preview is expected to contain the following features:

• Miscellaneous smaller changes and bug fixes, and hidden: last minute nerfs?

New content is always good, btc loot is not always good, nerfs without advance notice are bad

[Mindos]

ddopreview.exe shows a link to turbine.com to sign up for an account on the final screen that asks if you want to launch now.

[Kebtid]

I just hope i wont need to do the run to MA and LOB raids, it is really unfun thinking i need to waste 20 minutes of walk to the raid every time i want to run it

Where in the Cogs is this? I've never seen it!

Will players be automatically flagged for these raids on Lamania? I imagine requiring that player run the 3 house C quests would be a huge detrement to being able to collect feedback on these raids.
