Auto Assault isn't the only game with ornamental dice...

The ability to customize your dice appearance is one of the new Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach developer Andy "Denour" Giles is talking about in a new dev journal entry at MMORPG blog. Also on the agenda: voice chat.

There was work to be done beyond the Party UI. In order to make configuring voice as painless as possible I had to incorporate a microphone test into the audio options. Performing a microphone test will display a sound meter that will assist in setting your sound levels so you are not clipping when talking (clipping is what happens when an audio wave is truncated, causing distortion and unpleasant sounds). Another feature included into the options is the ability to switch between press to talk and hands free mode.
