Vecna Unleashed is now available to pre-purchase!

[Cordovan]

@Cordavon I'm hearing two different things.
Please un-confuse me. Will the MM from Vecna Unleashed be available free to VIP or not?
Thank you!

The Monster Manual 9 is included in the VIP subscription. It will also be available for DDO Points in the future, as mentioned in the FAQ: https://www.ddo.com/news/ddo-vecna-unleashed-purchase-faq

NOTE: An earlier version of this statement was in error. The Monster Manual 9 is included in your VIP subscription.

@Cordovan the language on the expansion pack page isn't clear regarding the Universal Tome:





You've clarified above that the sentient gem is one per character - can you confirm if the Universal AP tomes are the same (ie. One per Character)? If so, you've got my money!

I can confirm the tome is per character.

Personally, I don't see the problem with keeping the MM tied to the expansion or an individual purchase. Some say it devalues VIP, but giving it free to VIP devalues the expansion.

That said, VIP needs its new rewards (or an interim measure) ASAP.

MM9 is available to VIP without buying the expansion. I verified this today.

All this complaining about this out dated VIP program and it's value is kinda stupid... We all know they are working on a new VIP system that will (hopefully) bring back value to the program. Until then we all know it's garbage... So stop complaining... and paying for VIP. And it you continue paying for VIP it looks like it still has value for you doesn't it?

 

[Myfav]

Yes.

Any word on the killer lag in game before I spend any more money on game ? A simple post or acknowledgment would go far

They literally just took away something that was always included. Free Monster Manuals has been part of VIP since the inception. That's fine if VIP isn't part of your DDO experience. To tell people that "complaining" about something that was just removed from their paid subscription is a pretty classy move. If it doesn't effect or bother you, that's great. Those of us who have a valid concern are probably ok without your priceless advice.

Owlbear, you can be a fanboi all you want. (and part of a VERY SEGMENT OF US)
YOU'RE WRONG.

You might want to double check that. I logged in on my VIP account that doesn't own Vecna Unleashed. I went into Gianthold Tor, killed some fire giants, and it started tracking kills.

I was incorrect in my earlier statement, and will edit it shortly. The Monster Manual 9 is included in your VIP subscription.

From the order page:

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Vecna Unleashed expansion is scheduled for release on August 16th, 2023. In the event of delay, you will receive the expansion content and items no later than November 16th 2023. Dungeons & Dragons Online: Vecna Unleashed is available in English.

From the FAQ:

The raid will be available a short time after the release of Vecna Unleashed.

Does this mean the raid will be sometime after Aug 16th but no later than Nov 16th?

Do you have to purchase the expansion to get the new Monster Manual and Epic Destiny, even if you previously purchased Epic Destiny's and have a VIP account?

I am the VIP and I have not purchased the pack yet and it's this is what it said to me "You do not own this epic destiny."

 

[armedwithpencils]

if all the other epic destinies are free to everyone why are we having to pay for this one? even as vip we still dont access to it.

YOU'RE WRONG.

Where am I fanboying? I'm even telling you to just stop paying for VIP if you don't think it's worth it. That doesn't help SSG in any way. I'm just getting tired of all the complaining about how bad the current VIP rewards are. We all know how bad this is already! Complaining about the current system won't get us anywhere since there will be a new VIP program they are working on. SSG will change NOTHING about the current VIP system because of that. So complaining about it is useless... NOTHING will happen until we get the new VIP program. Stop pay for it is all you can do... if you like it or not.

 

[Ying]

So the launcher now indicates VIPs get 10% off, but that info isn't on the marketplace website nor in the FAQ.

I disagree. Complaining is the only way for SSG to move and do something. If you really think they're working on the VIP program, I've got a great bridge to sell you. It is clear that they have left the matter in the fridge given the bad reaction to their (very poor) initial proposals.

Instead of treating other posters badly, put pressure on SSG to do their job. They have had more than two years. More than enough time, it's not about rebuilding the game from scratch, it's about giving benefits to a clearly insufficient and obsolete program.

On a livestream SSG shared a very early draft of what the benefits would be, before the dev working on it passed away.
