I'll be curious to see if Vecna has a 10% discount for VIP like Saltmarsh did or not.

I'd like to know if there's a compelling (time-limited) reason to prepurchase it.

While I like your comment and agree with you, you have too many reactions and I'm afraid you will start to get celebrity attitude if you get any more. lol.

Fixed the description of Heal, Mass.

I assume it now says "So slow they'll be dead before it goes off"

Hi @Cordovan. What does this mean?

Acid volumes now scale with level and difficulty. This makes them less lethal at low level but more dangerous at high level.

I've been playing for 14 years and have no idea what "acid volume" means.

 

[PraetorPlato]

It's volume in the sense of InvisibleVolumeTrigger—a volume of space. I think this basically means that proof is in the poison won't one-shot everyone but pools of acid might hurt at cap.

 

[Reilia]

Is there gonna be a new universal tree for Vecna? It was mentioned once on a livestream but nothing since. Did it get pushed back or squashed?. I don't mean to complain if it's not there but I would like to know. Maybe it's a big secret.

If it follows the methodology from the previous expansion there won't be anything exclusive to preorders, but preordering will mean you get the stuff included right now (tomes, hirelings, new trees, etc.).

SM gave us the discovery pots if ordering by X date while VIP

Acid pools, mostly. My understanding is they were the same damage regardless of level or difficulty. Now it is less deadly at low levels, and a bit more deadly at higher levels.

They haven't done a pre-purchase reward since Wheloon, and they aren't going to bring that back. At best there might be certain rewards (ie: Cosmetics) you can collect before the expansion goes live.

 

[Vox]

Yup, & MoTu, they had really good incentives for pre-orders.

I thought there was a comment on social media by a Dev about some Performance improvements around feat parsing during combat that was making its way into U60. Did that not make it or am I missing it in the release notes.

 

[AMess]

yee-haw!! i'm gonna try tumbling everywhere...I think it'll make a fun viewing/playing experience, there are a bunch of definsive/offensive perks while or after tumbling, so it won't just be for flavor any more.

ty ty!

• The pause at the end of tumbling with the Experimental Tumble Controls has been removed, allowing for a seamless Dodge experience.

I belive that was in U59

Well we will find out in under 24 hours but would be welcome

I've asked the team and if we need to add it to the notes we will.

They were referring to this https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/more-peformance-work-is-coming.2058/ but from what I understand, it didn't make it onto the last lam preview so guessing it will be next preview and u61 for it coming it.

From the way I read it, it sounded like it was talking about acid damage from monster spells like Black Dragon Bolt as well. Does this change not affect monster acid spells at all?

Edit: Oh and to whomever took the time to get Frogo's ladder climbing to work - very cool, thank you! I love how Teal climbs ladders. That made me go "Awwwh "
