It's a good thing that developers are constantly trying to make Dungeons and Dragons Online better via the numerous updates they make on the game. Even though players have encountered (many) downtime because of several updates, the game's all good.

Here now is a rundown of what changes to expect in the next scheduled update of DDO:

Performance
  • Changes are being made to the Twilight Forge Module to improve performance.
General
  • Filtering out loot messages from other players will now be possible by tagging them as loot messages.
  • Players won't get stuck dismounting from ladders anymore.
Monsters
  • The dragon's line of sight recognition and spellcasting AI have improved.
  • NEW - Melee-oriented Troglodytes will not make attacks from out of range; they'll be moving closer to their targets.
Combat
  • NEW - The critical threat range will not be doubled on the 4th swing combo anymore.
  • NEW - Wildmen bestowed feeblemind now curable by restoration.
Items
  • As per the Players Handbook, vorpal weapons will behead monsters; players must roll a natural 20 and confirm crit to vorpal targets.
  • NEW - Niac's Cold Ray and Knock scrolls will be available at Lorna Wyrmtouched, Arcane Scroll Vendor
  • NEW - Featherfall-casting items will get usability upgrade. These items will use a self-only version of Featherfall and will be fast-casting.
  • NEW - The "of Destruction" weapon effect will now reduce the target's AC by 4 on the first hit. No saving throw for this effect now.
  • NEW - The names for Seeker +1, Seeker+2, etc. items will be changed to be consistent with effect naming conventions (those renamed will match the bonus they give, Seeker+2, Seeker+4, etc.).
  • NEW - Laina the Excoriated will close her shop window properly now.
  • The Freedom of Movement effect on the Kundarak Delving Boots won't ward the Mummy's Despair ability or the Beholder's petrify eye beam. It will ward the movement effects of Storm Giant weather control.
Spells
  • NEW - Developers are currently fixing the dispel effects that cause much harder dispels from the Dispel Magic.
Quests
  • NEW - Gnarl's Tomb - Old Gnarl's ghost will open his door after a fight if he dispatches any would-be thieves. This will allow parties to attempt him again without resetting the dungeon.
  • NEW - Restless Isles - The Runetust Commander won't speak to players anymore when he dies; developers are also fixing the repetitive DM text of several encounters.
We'll keep you posted on the latest Dungeons and Dragons Online news.
