We Have the Fastest Mephits in the
World!




What has Turbine been up to with Dungeons & Dragons Online:
Stormreach (DDO)? Let's take a look:

Monsters

NEW - Many human
enemies have had their alignments updated or corrected. For example,
Agents of the Emerald Claw are now Chaotic Evil; Warriors of the
Emerald Claw are now Neutral Evil; the necromancer Gerti is now Chaotic
Evil; all Blackguards are now Evil, and many are Lawful Evil; City
Guards are now Lawful Neutral; and several misaligned thieves and
rogues are now Chaotic Neutral. Monsters can no longer remain stealthed/invisible when they are
casting harmful spells on you. Adjusted
some monster sneak attacks to function properly – some were not being
blocked by fortification, while others were not triggering in situation
where they should have (for example, with a blinded target). Monsters will now deal properly when hit with multiple behavior
states (for example, mesmerized while dancing). NEW
- The behavior of monsters that cannot reach their target because other
creatures are in the way has been improved. Preventing a monster from
reaching its target is now an effective way to gain the creature's
attention. NEW - Troglodyte Stench is
no longer called 'nausea' but is instead properly called 'Troglodyte
Stench' and flagged as a sickness. Thus it can be removed by effects
that remove sickness, and will be more resistible by Warforged. The
functionality of the stench has not been otherwise changed. Liches
can no longer be affected by command undead, halt undead, the undead
fear portion of the chill touch spell, or control undead (not in game
yet). Mephits now fly faster. Most named troglodytes have been given more hp on the hard and
elite settings. NEW - Trolls should no longer attempt
to make melee attacks from out of range. NEW - Wight priests now cast attack
spells with greater frequency.

There's lots more. Check out the complete list [ href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=323">HERE].
