Nim Notes Thread!

[Nimvind]

Most people may not know but I, Nimvind Dirgesinger (hold the applause), like to watch the hour long streams and the 30 minute youtubes and scour the webs for the latest DDO news! Every Friday after Fridays @ 4 I post them right before my stream! This is usually in my guild web site. My friend Vooduspyce suggested that I also do them here! So here it goes, the first ever Nim Notes posted on the DDO Forums. All information I use is only from SSG staff and not word of mouth or speculation. Please be respectful here as I put a lot of effort to put this stuff together from many sources

Original Nim Notes thread: https://malkier.xyz/community/nim-notes/

I also stream regularly on twitch here:

Steelstar: They're not scaling properly with item power in this Preview, it'll be fixed for the next one.

That said, they are indeed meant for player consumption, their names are correct, the effects on them are correct save the numbers involved.

Cordovan: We have never claimed that a singular source of lag is the cause of all sources of lag, but yes, pathing-related lag is caused by pathing-related issues.

Steelstar: While dual stat Augments may happen sometime in the future, they will not be appearing in U60 or U61.

That said, we do have some new Augments coming in U61, which (fingers crossed) you should be able to check out next Preview!

Cordovan: For players who experienced an issue getting the proper amount of storage when purchasing an Underdark Patron's Coffer, we have identified the issue and we are working on a fix that will be deployed in a future game update. No ticket to Customer Support is necessary to correct this issue, as the fix will be a versioning fix that will be automatic once the correction is deployed.

Cordovan: The most common cause of getting the generic error page when making a purchase through the DDO Market is that you don't have a credit card/payment method linked to the account through the Market system. Check your account to make sure you have a card and that it isn't expired or something.

Right now the bonus days bonuses are a very manual process. If we eventually move to a world event system similar to the way LOTRO does it I intend to create a calendar.

Known Issue:

Resizing the Store window to make it overly large or small can cause images to not display. Readjusting the size, or closing and reopening the Store, can resolve this issue.

It appears that Augment Summoning does not work on gold seal hirelings, but is working on regular hirelings. I have not tested every hireling, but this is new as of today's update.

Torc: When I looked at this it appears to be working, but I have a question. Did you take the Augment Summon feat or are you getting it granted by an item, enhancement or destiny?

Otherwise I'm wondering if it's a race condition issue per Dragnilar's post.

- Next week will have a preview on lamannia, they are doing a balance pass on active attacks. they are thinking of switching from the W dice system to a percentage boost. So attacks that add weapon dice or W to your base damage will instead raise the overall damage by a percentage.


- Next Wednesday the Fires Over Morgrave raid loot will be fixed.


- Cordovan gave another hint on the secret of Vecna Unleashed, he said there is a post on the forum that is on the right track.


- Next week's lamannia is technically the first preview of u62, it wont have all of u62 but some in it.

SSGBranding : We have discovered an issue regarding the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar quest and have disabled it. We apologize for the interruption at this time.



- https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/nightrevel-clicky-candies.4356/#post-46617

Steelstar: If you do not feel the candies are your flavor of choice this year, I would strongly advise not spending time farming for them nor spending the candies you have on them! It sounds like many of you would prefer to do something else with that time and those ingredients this time around, and the very best thing you can do in that situation is follow that gut instinct. Flavors may be different next time around.



- https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/whirlwind-attack-shows-no-increase.4366/#post-46586

Torc: It should do +20% damage. We think the damage might actually be happening here but the tool tip is bugged... but either way we'll fix it and it'll do +20% damage.



- https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/attacks-left-out-of-the-damage-update.4358/#post-46535

Steelstar: My understanding is that as neither of those provided +[w] before this update, they did not gain any % in the changes, leaving them exactly as they were previously.

That doesn't necessarily mean they don't need to change in the future as a point of overall balance, but at the moment I believe this was intentional.



- https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?th...pe-next-raid-confirmed.2217/page-4#post-46196

Cordovan: I wanted to confirm before posting it, but yes, we will be offering a Legendary version of Chronoscope in addition to the existing versions in Heroic and Epic difficulty. All three difficulties will be available.

Tweets By Severlin

- I think that the Illithid Invasion for DDO is really going to be memorable. Each server will have to figure out what that is, how to stop it, and how to reveal the locations of the final dungeons. While the servers are searching for answers, Illithid influence is everywhere!

- The event lasts only while the servers are searching for answers, though. (Although the final dungeons will remain.)

- Each server will need to do the same thing. Also, each dungeon unlock is its own thing.
