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.
