Notes de mise à jour DDO : patch 2 Module 7.0

A l'origine, le patch 7.02 était prévu comme le Module 7.1 qui devait paraître en août/septembre 2008.

Cependant un certain nombre d'éléments prévus pour ce module ont été repoussés - et pas annulés - pour le module 8.0 dont la refonte du module de création de personnages car ceux-ci avaient encore besoin d'une phase de polissage. Les nouvelles quêtes du module bas niveau qui était prévu pour offrir une nouvelle expérience de jeu bas niveau avec la refonte du système on perdu par la même leur raison de sortir sous la forme du module 7.1. L'ensemble des ajouts de contenu prévu par le module 7.1 ont donc été repoussés aussi pour le module 8.0.

Dès lors, il ne restait plus que les correctifs prévus à la base qui ne sont pas suffisant pour constituer un module. Ce qui restait donc du module 7.1 a été renommé en patch 7.02.

Voici les notes du patch en version américaine:

Welcome to the Release Notes for Dungeons & Dragons Online! These release notes were posted August 20th, 2008

Enhancements

  • In rare cases, level 10 and level 11 race restricted handwraps were not working as intended. These dysfunctional handwraps will no longer drop. Existing versions of the handwraps cannot be repaired by using a Stone of Change ritual.
  • Ghost Touch hand wraps are now working properly. Additionally a stone of change recipe can be used to repair existing the handwraps.
  • The Stone of Change ritual for force effects on handwraps is now working properly. Existing handwraps with the force rituals applied can be repaired by placing them in the stone of change.
• The Coin Lords have made repairs to the beloved Eternal Titan Wand, and it will now function properly for lucky recipients.
• The House Deneith has decided that only those worthy of their fine quivers should receive them, and so favor quivers provided by House Deneith are now correctly Bound on Acquire.
