Check out the latest updates to the "Weekly Development Activities."
The goal for this feature is to give solid expectations on what you can
expect to see in future updates.


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.
