Today I wanted to tell you about some of our plans for the year in Dungeons & Dragons Online. I hope you all had a fantastic 2023, and that you’re ready for even more adventures. I’m having a bit of adventure myself at the moment due to a winter storm, writing a draft of this Producer’s Letter in the dark by candlelight, with one of those old timey writing things ... a pen and some paper. In a way it’s kind of thematically appropriate; it has me thinking about when I used to write D&D adventures by hand for my friends. It’s been nice to pause and reflect on those endearing D&D moments, because it is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons! That’s half a century of people lovingly making their character builds, their campaigns, and playing with their friends. And yeah, sure, a lot of tools and technologies have changed in 50 years, but what hasn’t changed is the passion and creativity of everybody who loves D&D. That’s a huge reason why it has endured. As luck would have it, the 50th anniversary happens to fall on the lunar year of the Dragon! How fantastic is that? So that means we’re going to celebrate big. Dragon big! I am pleased to announce that starting at DDO’s Anniversary in February we will be rolling out a yearlong celebration in honor of D&D’s 50th Anniversary! From free gifts to new features, each month during our Year of the Dragon celebration there will be something exciting for our players. Be sure to check in with us on February 7th when we will reveal what each month’s Year of the Dragon surprise will be! The fun starts during DDO's 18th anniversary on February 28th. As a hint to how this starts, the first surprise will be a dragon themed archetype. The “Year of the Dragon” celebration will last all the way until next year’s anniversary. To help get your friends and family ready for the Year of the Dragon, I’m also pleased to announce the return of a special coupon code that can be used to get a ton of free quest packs! Use coupon code: FREEDDO2024. (Available through 11:59pm Eastern (-4 GMT) Sunday, February 11th 2024.) Learn more about all the quest packs that this code grants and how to apply the code here! In addition, we have lots of other excitement planned in 2024. Here’s an early sense of what those updates will entail: By popular demand, our next major Expansion in the summer will take place in a fan favorite D&D location: Myth Drannor! It is among the more infamous places in the Forgotten Realms and we’re very excited to bring it to life! The level cap will increase to 34, and I’m looking forward to one of Myth Drannor’s hallmarks: Wild Magic areas. Myth Drannor is a place where opening yourself to chaos can allow you to tap into greater power. It’s that power that has attracted the Red Wizards of Thay. Players will need to explore both the ruins of Myth Drannor, and interfere with the plans of the Red Wizards. It’s the quintessential ...Update 63.1 Release NotesNov 8, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsUpdate 63.1 Release Notes Here are the release notes for Update 63.1, released on Wednesday, November 8th, 2023.

Questgivers for the Illithid Invasion now properly recognize the state of the event when a new instance of the Sharn Clifftop Towers District opens. Fixed an issue in "Astral Ambush" where some coins that were meant for decoration were hovering in the air Update 63 Release NotesNov 1, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsUpdate 63: Illithid Invasion Release Notes Welcome to the release notes for Update 63: Illithid Invasion, released on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. Of Special Note: The Illithid Invasion begins! From the vastness of the Astral Plane, an ancient hunger descends upon Eberron... Take part in a one-time event across Dungeons & Dragons Online! The game needs YOUR help to stop the Illithid Invasion! Powerful and unusual Illithids are on the prowl throughout the world. Update 63: Illithid Invasion is a limited time event in which you'll scour Reaper difficulty dungeons throughout the game to locate these powerful invaders! Defeating these threats unlocks new quests that hold the key to ending their sinister plan! The dungeons stick around after the event, but the invasion starts (November 1st/happens NOW!) Join the fight today!

Adding a Deck effect to your item does not impact its minimum level or ability to be equipped. A special Card of Curse Cleansing can appear very rarely in almost any chest throughout the game!

Deck effects cannot be placed onto Cosmetics, Wands, Scrolls, Quivers, or Ammunition. Bug Fixes: Wrack Construct in Battle Engineer now correctly does +10/20/30% damage.

We've done some adjustments to the flow of the early game involving taverns in The Harbor. Tavern keepers in The Harbor can now be asked for "Quest Leads" and grant vector quests leading to the various quests around The Harbor. There is also a bit of info about favor and the compendium there. To get started, talk to the barkeeps in the Wayward Lobster or the Leaky Dingy. We are updating Dungeon Alert to put some bite back into the system, which has not scaled well against ever-increasing player power over the years.

On Purple Alert all enemies will gain 25% Dodge Penetration and a very large to-hit bonus while flanking (the enemy is behind you). On Purple Alert enemies who have been Crowd Controlled will break free in six seconds, and will break free faster for every time they are crowd controlled. Defeating enough enemies to leave Red alert while in Purple will cause alert to immediately shift to Orange. If you go back up to Red from Orange, maintaining Red for another 30 seconds will cause you to go back up to Purple. Don't ignore Red Dungeon Alert! Movement speed bonuses have been increased for all Dungeon Alert levels by about 20% for enemies that are CR 10 and higher.

News and Notes: Bug fixes: Magus of the Eclipse's 4th Core Nightwind now grants its listed Spell Penetration, Spell Power, and Spell Points. Magus of the Eclipse's Evocation DC enhancement now has a better icon. Potentially fixed an erroneous chance to get 1 Tyrannosaur Tooth from the Saga Reward option. New copies of Legendary Twinchopper have their proper effects. Renamed a gem to Black Diamond to prevent confusion. Scale damaging Augments have had their damage types fixed. Artificer and Druid pets now factor in your Legendary Levels to their total level. Melee and Ranged Power level 32 Augments now give their correct amounts of Melee and Ranged Power (+12).

Whispers of Return now drops its correct loot list. Raptor mount animations should now play correctly for half orc females. Cracking Attack now provides the proper + and Melee Power boost when used with Crazy Strike. A few Tabaxi effects no longer spam your combat log. UI Changes Examining your Artificer and Druid pets now shows their total level instead of a class breakdown. Legendary characters in non-Legendary dungeons will now be able to tell if they are overlevel in the dungeon by checking the XP Report.

Gameplay Changes An acid damage over time effect from items has had its damage dice changed from 1d100 to 10d10 to raise the floor and provide less of a random spread (found in Legendary Greensteel, Legendary Alchemical Crafting, Dinosaur Bone Crafting) Known Issues: Level 30 players in challenges of CR30 and above will see 0xp in their XP report erroneously, but will receive their proper amount of XP. These players are still eligible for XP since the CR is 30 or above.
