Weekly Development Activities (7/05/06)

Go Speed Racer, Go!



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

Performance

NEW – Xbox 360 controllers will be
more responsive to player input. In particular players will now be able
to run at full speed.

UI Improvements

NEW – You will be able to turn "loot
spam" off if you want. NEW – Players will be able to enter up
to 256 characters into the chat bar before having to start a new line. We are adding Guild Names! They will be visible under player
names. Party Member names will be distinguished from other player
names by color. The colors for names of party members, other players, npcs, and
monsters will be able to be changed. Displayed damage values for sneak attacks and critical hits
will appear in a distinctive fashion. Hostile
monsters names will now appear in a configurable color (default red).
Friendly or neutral monster’s names will look like NPCs names rather
than hostile monster’s names. “Accept Choice” is no longer
mapped to the number pad enter key by default. Existing players will
still have this mapped to the number pad enter key and will need to
change the setting on their own if they wish to unmap it. "Accept
Choice" is intended to be what you use to answer "yes" to dialogs in
the game. This change will prevent players from accidentally releasing
from their body when they did not wish to.

There's lots more. Check out the complete list [ href="http://ddo.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=243">HERE].
