Update 63 approaches!

[Ahpuch]

I was clearly joking bud

I figured, but one person had already commented as if it was serious. And frankly I have heard worse ideas said in ernest.

 

[kmoustakas]

Hmm, As I recall the devil invasion caused tremendous lag. Hopefully this one doesn't.

Oh it will. Entering a quest causes lag. The event will be the worst lag since original mabar haha.

 

[dur]

Last one I remember was the card cruncher and the dupapalooza that followed.

Yeah.. I've still got some of those (now useless) cards in that bag that is thankfully BtA now. I really wish folks wouldn't exploit things and ruin it for everyone, but c'est la vie, I guess.. I'll just make a wide berth.

 

[Lencrennis]

Eh, I'm fine with that one. I changed servers at that time, and there was a dude in the Marketplace who basically went, "Hi Welcome. Here's a full set of huge bags and +3 tomes for all stats. Welcome to the server."

 

[HoopleHead]

You bite yer tongue!

The original Mabar was freaking AWESOME! I loved running around sniping other peoples kills and getting all the mats..

LOL

 

[Lencrennis]

Before or after the original Maban?

 

[Thorntoe]

Is it "later this week" yet?

 

[rabidfox]

Is it "later this week" yet?

Probably talked about on Cord's weekly stream today.

 

[Shear-buckler]

Will low level characters be able to meaningfully participate in the event?

 

[Putti]

Ladder bug fix = jump on ladder dont climb on it from the ground.

See I always figured it was triggered by jumping on the ladder instead of walking into it because I always jump on ladders.

 

[Putti]

Will low level characters be able to meaningfully participate in the event?

I really hope so. It would suck if I have to power level to max just to participate.

 

[Shear-buckler]

Yeah especially with less than a weeks
notice.

Stay tuned for more information later this week about a special one-time event taking place in Dungeons & Dragons Online! (posted Wednesday)

Altho' technically a week doesn't end until Saturday midnight tonight, the work-week ended yesterday, so (usually) Cordo's done for the weekend... any word on this? (Or are we interpreting that as "later in the next 7 days..."?)

He talked about it some in his live stream. Nim summed it up here: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/nim-notes-thread.1564/#post-54303

 

[seph1roth5]

Very disappointing info, shouldn't have even bothered teasing the end of the week as having more info lol

 

[Suggs]

It sounds similar to the last hardcore season. People had to figure out which quests had the "treasure hoard" pieces and then gather all 13 for a cloak. I think that once someone figures out this event then it will get posted so all the servers can get it completed.

 

[dur]

Whenever u63 happens, that's when Teh Event happens, yeah?

 

[Lencrennis]

It certainly follows that it should be the case, yeah. The prize is the content the Update brings, and while there might be a separate switch to flip, it could definitely be designed to just start as soon as it's ready.

 

[CBDunk]

Yes, and... Wednesday 11/1.

 

[haagmaar123]

I can’t be the only one that thinks a 1 time event is a very poor way of spending limited dev time?

i think you are in the minority alot of people love community events where people can work together.
