The developers of Codemaster's Dungeons & Dragons Online have given word that they are already testing some of the new features that they plan on adding in Module 6. While Module 5 focused more on game balance and bug fixes, this latest update adds more gameplay features such as a higher level cap, more spells, and new feats.

Players will be happy to know that the level cap has been increased to 16. This move opens up new spells such as Polar Ray, Sunburst, Horrid Wilting, Otto's Irresistible Dance, Greater Shout, Summon Monster VIII, Trap the Soul and Charm Monster for Wizards and Sorcerers. In addition, Clerics will now get both Mass Cure Critical Wounds and Mass Inflict Critical Wounds.

New feats have also been added to the game such as Force of Personality (Prq: Cha 13) which allows users to use the highest modifier from either the charisma or wisdom stats for Will saves and Insightful Reflexes (Prq: Int 13) which automatically chooses the higher modifier from both intelligence and dexterity when making a reflex save.

It looks like Codemasters plans to add a lot of changes to the MMORPG with Module 6. Hopefully, most of the planned additions make it into game since a lot of the features will undoubtedly be appreciated by the Dungeons & Dragons Online community.

Change is always a good thing. Although, sometimes tedious, the rewards of changing makes up for all the trouble one has gone through for it. This maybe what the developers of Dungeons and Dragons Online have in mind everytime they dish out their consistent weekly updates just to satisfy the cravings of their gaming community. So, here are the new things you could expect from DDO.

Performance

• We are making some changes to the Twilight Forge to improve performance.

General

• NEW - The House Kundarak banking system will be opening a new branch in the harbor inside the Harbormaster's House.
• NEW - Tell messages will be displayed in all chat windows by default (for new characters and new chat tabs).
• NEW - Fixing a problem with the Mail UI that causes attached items to not display.
• Loot messages from other players will be tagged as loot messages and can be filtered out.
• Players will no longer get stuck while dismounting from ladders.

Monsters

• NEW - Wildmen will apply the feeblemind effect less often, generally on critical hits and/or their special leap attack.
• NEW - The effects caused by the warforged quori humanoids in the WFT area will no longer produce FX. Previously this on-damage effect could slow down performance due to the spam of visualized effects.
• Improved the dragon's spellcasting AI and line of sight recognition. For more information on possible changes to the dragon, please read this thread.
• Melee oriented Troglodytes will move closer to their targets - they should no longer attempt to make melee attacks from out of range.

The full list of DDO weekly development updates await after the jump!

Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO) players who find themselves unable to progress in their Caverns of Korromar quest will be happy to know that the developers have removed the intelligence requirement from the Daanvi Codex. This allows players to complete the quest even with low-intelligence Rouge and a sorcerer. This is great news as not everyone has high enough intelligence to read the book. With this change, players are expected to complete the mission without much problems.

Also, 'Tell Messages' will now be displayed in all chat windows by default for new characters and new chat tabs. Finally, the DDO team fixed the problem with the Mail UI that caused attached items to not appear.
