Dungeons And Dragons Online: Weekly Development Activities (Nov 20, 2006)

Samera has posted her Weekly Dev Activities report on the official forums:

In QA
These items are in QA and should be part of the next update, "Evil Resurgent".

General

• NEW - When blinded, floatynames will once again appear over friendly and neutral people. You will still not be able to see the names of hostile people.

UI Improvements

• NEW - The map of the Sands of Menechtarun has been revised for greater accuracy.

Monsters

• NEW - Harga Fire Dancer and Yurrugh the Swift will now drop treasure from their correct treasure tables.

Spells

• NEW - Spell crits were not working properly on some AOE spells; now they will properly register the crit when casting and then apply the extra damage to all targets for the full duration of the spell.

Items

• NEW - Mithral Armor now weighs 1/2 of the normal steel armor weight. This change will be retroactive.

Quests

• NEW - When you gain 1750 favor you will now be told to talk to Nyx to get your reward, rather than the current, less-informative message.
• NEW - The Waterworks
  • Pets and monsters will no longer refuse to follow you across the bridge before the entrance to Clan Gnashtooth Lair.

Under Development
These items are currently in development and are scheduled for some time after the next update (either LOTD part 2 or Module 4).

General

• NEW - The elven female avatar now has the braided hairstyle available.

Monsters

• NEW - The Hobgoblins have finally gotten their long-delayed and much-needed shipments of bows. Now, wherever hobgoblins live, there is a chance they will have some archers amongst their ranks.
