Update 51 Release Notes

Here are the release notes for Update 51: A New Destiny, released on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021. 

Of Special Note:

Epic Destiny Update

Update 51 brings a big update and overhaul of our Epic Destiny system! The new system features improvements through the level 20 to 30 process along with a new destiny called Magus of the Eclipse. All characters who are at least level 20 and players in the future who achieve level 20 can get started with the new system by speaking with a Fatespinner to be taken to the Junction of the Planes to acquire their Epic Destinies and learn more!

Epic Destinies are now free to every player regardless of account status. Any player who previously owned Epic Destinies will receive a Tome of Destiny +1 (Historic) that grants you +1 permanent Destiny Point for one of your characters (see the release notes for more information about Destiny Points.) If you have at least one character before this overhaul that has fully capped all of their Epic Destinies, you will receive an exclusive Cloak of Destiny featuring the now-deprecated Starmap to commemorate your achievement. All characters level 20 and higher at the time of this Update will not be able to change Feats with Fred until they perform a Lesser Reincarnation (or any other form of Reincarnation). This is to prevent invalid build scenarios and situations where certain feats simply cannot be swapped. All characters level 20 and higher at the time of this Update have been granted a Bound-to-Character +5 Lesser Heart of Wood.

Read the release notes below for extensive information about the new system.

News and Notes:

Combat

• Female Dragonborn breath attacks that previously failed to function now work correctly. 

DDO Store

• When the in-game DDO Store is set so that it uses your external web browser the "No" button has been updated to state "Cancel" to reduce confusion.
• A Tome of Destiny +1 (Historic) which gives +1 permanent Destiny Point to the character who uses it has been added to the Store. This is the same type of tome that players will receive for previously owning Epic Destinies and will only stack with Tomes of Destiny that have another type such as (Feywild). 

Enhancements

• Aasimar Ascendant Bonds no longer spam your combat log.
• Several Falconry bird attacks now properly factor in their Assassinate bonuses.
• Pale Master's Improved Zombie Form now properly penalizes your attack speed.

Epic Destinies: Overall Changes

• We are updating our Epic Destiny structure from the ground up to provide a cohesive level experience from levels 20 to 30 and beyond. The new structure resembles Heroic Enhancements - Cores along the bottom and 5 tiers reaching to the top. However, there are some notable differences from and similarities to the old Epic Destiny structure:
  • You can now be in up to three Epic Destinies at a time. You select up to three trees at a time in a drop-down menu of the user interface, socketing them into place in your Epic Destiny window, just as you select your Heroic Enhancement Trees. You can spend points freely between these three trees, and resetting your Epic Destiny points out of a tree will allow you to choose a new one.
  • As you level up beyond level 20, you will earn Destiny Points that you can spend in these Epic Destiny trees. Epic Levels now display their experience in Ranks, just like Heroic levels do. Each point is earned at each Rank of an Epic Level, which means that each Epic Level corresponds to 4 Destiny Points. The 5th rank of each Epic Level is the level itself, as it is in Heroics. This means that you'll earn Destiny Points at a steady rate rather than in large chunks every 5 ranks.
  • Each Epic Destiny ability in the new Destiny system has a destiny point requirement as well as a level requirement - just like heroic enhancements do - so you can't jump right to the end at level 20 or without spending the requisite points up the tree. The Level and Destiny Point requirements are as follows:
    • Core 1: Level 20, 0 Destiny Points spent
    • Core 2: Level 23, 5 Destiny Points spent
    • Core 3: Level 26, 10 Destiny Points spent
    • Cores 4 through 6: Will eventually be available at levels higher than 30.
    • Tier 1: Level 20, 0 Destiny Points spent
    • Tier 2: Level 20, 5 Destiny Points spent
    • Tier 3: Level 23, 10 Destiny Points spent
    • Tier 4: Level 26, 20 Destiny Points spent
    • Tier 5: Level 30, 30 Destiny Points spent (you may only be in one Tier 5 at a time)
  • These new Epic Destiny trees are a mix of the old Epic Destiny abilities and brand new ones, providing a large variety of options to players both familiar with our current Epic Destinies and those hungry for new abilities. We have been able to make sweeping changes to themes and designs to better support the widest range of available play. You'll see familiar abilities in unfamiliar places, new abilities in the places of old ones, and changes aimed at bringing the entire Destiny system together into more of a cohesive whole. 
• Unlocking Trees
  • Assuming you've never been in epics before, when you reach level 20, you will be directed to the Fatespinner and a new public area accessible from her dialogue. This area will contain NPCs that correspond to each Destiny. Speak to those NPCs to unlock the destiny for this character permanently. This NPC will give you a description of the playstyles that the tree supports, as well as serve a small part in a new, lightweight tutorial. Once you have done this once on a character, you will not need to do it again. This is just a way for us to vector new players to the Epic gameplay loop into a space that can give them a bit of an aesthetical introduction to our Epic game.
  • Unlocking a tree in the new system also provides +3 Fate Points per tree, which means that a brand new character reaching 20 for the first time will begin with 36 Fate Points.
• Fate Points
  • There are no more Twists of Fate in this system since players can branch out across up to three trees, but Fate Points still have a use. Every 3 Fate Points you've earned will contribute to 1 Permanent Destiny Point in the Epic Destiny Trees. These points are available at level 20 and can be freely spent between the trees you have slotted. If this is your first time in Epics, you will begin with a bare minimum of 36 Fate Points (from unlocking the 12 currently available trees), which means you'll start level 20 with 12 Permanent Destiny Points. This Permanent Destiny Point system is where we recapture the currently-frontloaded Destiny flow and allows us to offer playstyle-defining elements right out of the gate. The first two tiers of each tree are accessible at level 20, so you'll have quite a bit of choice and power at the start.
  • Fate Points also grant +2 Hit Points and +1 Spell Points each, starting at level 20.
  • You earn Fate Points in a variety of ways - from the Tomes of Fate currently available, from Epic Past Lives at the ratio of 3 Epic Past Lives to 1 Fate Point (compared to the 4:1 ratio as it is currently), and from unlocking Destinies in the new system. You will no longer receive bonus Fate Points at levels 29 and 30.
  • The current maximum Fate Points is 55: 36 from unlocking trees + 16 from Epic Past Lives + 3 from a Tome of Fate. This means that you will start with up to 18 Permanent Destiny Points from Fate at level 20 (+1 extra Fate Point).
• Epic Reincarnation
  • Rather than requiring Karma, Epic Reincarnation simply allows a player at level 30+ to take the Epic Past life of your choice and return to level 20.
  • Epic Completionist, rather than granting a Twist of Fate slot, will instead grant a flat +1 Destiny Point You will also earn additional copies of Epic Completionist every 12 Epic Past Lives you earn thereafter. This means that a player with 24 Epic Past Lives will start with 2 copies of Epic Completionist, and will be able to earn 2 more as they reach the 48 total Epic Past Lives. A player with all 48 will have 4 copies of Epic Completionist, for a total of +4 Permanent Destiny Points.
  • This means that a player with Epic Completionist, all Epic Past Lives, the Tome of Destiny from Feywild, a +3 Tome of Fate, and all unlocked Destiny Trees, will begin level 20 with 23 Permanent Destiny Points (18 from fate, 4 from four copies of Epic Completionist, 1 from Tome).
• Epic XP, Epic Destiny XP, and Karma
  • There is no Epic Destiny XP or Karma in this new system. A player will not be required to level up in a destiny, or earn XP in a destiny, to unlock new trees or reincarnate. The base 12 destinies will be unlocked at level 20 via a simple tutorial, and reincarnation will no longer require Karma to complete. This means that the only type of XP you need to worry about in Epics is Epic XP, which will be unchanged from how it is earned. Epic XP will be displayed on your XP Bar differently (by splitting each level up into Ranks so we can award points more often), but the amounts and totals needed to level up are unchanged from how they are currently.
• Leveling Up in Epics
  • In order to address the backloaded feat flow and frontloaded enhancement flow, we are meeting in the middle for the new level-up experience for Epics:
    • Level 20: Unlocks Tier 1 and 2 of your Epic Destinies.
    • Level 21: Acquire an Epic Feat
    • Level 22: Acquire a Destiny Feat
    • Level 23: Unlocks Tier 3 of your Epic Destinies, Unlocks Core 2 of your Epic Destinies
    • Level 24: Acquire an Epic Feat
    • Level 25: Acquire a Destiny Feat
    • Level 26: Unlocks Tier 4 of your Epic Destinies, Unlocks Core 3 of your Epic Destinies
    • Level 27: Acquire an Epic Feat
    • Level 28: Acquire a Destiny Feat
    • Level 29: No level up benefit specific to Epic Destinies
    • Level 30: Acquire an Epic Feat, Acquire a Legendary Feat, Unlocks Tier 5 of your Epic Destinies
  • We are moving the Destiny Feat levels to follow directly after the Epic Feat levels. We want to smooth out the rate at which a player gains power considerably, which means we are lowering the minimum levels of the Destiny feats.
• Epic and Destiny Feats
  • Epic Destiny Feats no longer have Sphere requirements, as there are no more Spheres. Instead, they will simply have level prerequisites.
  • The level prerequisites of Destiny Feats have been changed. Whereas before a Destiny Feat would have a prerequisite for levels 26, 28, and 29, they will now follow the new acquisition level flow, moving to min level 22, 25, and 28 respectively.
  • Several Epic and Destiny Feats have changed in functionality, as will be detailed next.
• Caster Levels
  • Caster Levels
    • Old Epic Destinies gave specific bonuses to specific caster levels in their Cores, but these bonuses did not give maximum caster levels, just caster levels. There was also a smattering of specific caster level/maximum caster level bonuses spread across some trees for only specific spells.
    • New Epic Destinies will give no specific caster levels to classes. You'll instead gain +1 Caster Level and +1 Maximum Caster Level with all spells for every 2 Epic levels you've earned - so at level 30, you'll be at +5 to your caster levels.
• Spell Schools and Spell DCs
  • Old destinies supported either a small subsection or all DC types at the same time, and even then, if you wanted DCs, Magister was the clear choice most of the time.
  • Now, each spell school has a specialized Destiny and supports several DC bonuses. This means that each type of DC has plenty of room to be specialized in instead of living in a single tree. Our new Spell DC Paradigm is as follows:
    • Each core of a casting tree grants +1 Epic bonus to all DCs (so Core 2 grants a +2 Epic bonus, Core 3 grants a +3 Epic bonus)
      • Since this is typed, it does not stack, so taking Cores from other trees will not increase your DCs.
    • Each of these casting trees in Tier 5 has an enhancement that grants +1/2/3 to all DCs.
      • Since this is in Tier 5, and like with Heroic enhancement trees you can only spend points in the tier 5's of a single Destiny, you can only access one of these universal DC boosts.
    • In Tier 3, there is a multiselector of a subset of DCs that grants +1/2/3 to the selected DC
      • These are antirequisites of the same DC found in other trees. Once you select necromancy in one tree, you can't take it in the other tree.
      • This means that if you are a Necromancy DC caster, you will want 1 of your trees to have that Necromancy, but once you've gotten that DC, your other options are wide open
      • This also means that you can go wide for more DCs for secondary DC values OR go tall to keep focusing, rather than wanting to go wide for all of the DCs across all of the trees that offer it
    • The Epic Resilience buff has been removed from all monsters at endgame to make DCs across the board far easier to achieve.
• Spell Power Types
  • Our goal is for each type of Spell Power to have at least one tree that specializes in that type of spellcasting damage, with Draconic and Primal Avatar both leaning on different parts of the role of "choose a Spell Power to specialize in. This means that if you're a caster that tries to deal spell damage, you'll have several options to encourage you to pick the ones that are right for your build. We're also opening up Draconic and Primal Avatar to cover a lot more ground horizontally.
  • There was not previously much Spell Power in the former Epic Destiny system, unlike Melee and Ranged Power. In our new flow, each Core of a Spellcasting Destiny will grant +5 Spell Power in the thematic types (For example, Fatesinger will boost Force and Sonic) as well as +5 Universal Spell Power. There will also be +20 thematic and +20 Universal Spell Power in the tiers of each Spellcasting Destiny, for a total of +35 thematic/+35 universal in each tree.
• Spell Critical Chance
  • Old Epic Destinies gave a smattering of spell critical chance that disproportionately boosted the elements presented. Fire and Light were at a severe advantage, and other elements were neglected.
  • New Epic Destinies will not give a spell critical chance.
• Spell Critical Damage
  • Draconic being the only source of Spell Critical Damage meant it was clearly superior in terms of raw damage for almost all damaging casters, even if it was aesthetically or synergistically suboptimal. New Epic Destinies will give no spell critical damage, but that doesn't mean players won't have access to it going forward, as we'll get to further in these notes.
• Melee and Ranged Power
  • Each tree that wants you to deal damage with weapons will now support both melee and ranged in both their active attacks and respective powers.
  • Each tree that grants Melee/Ranged power will now do it at an equal rate across all trees to prevent one tree from simply granting more than the others. We want players to choose the tree that best fits their desired playstyle and not the tree that simply has the greatest numerical superiority.
    • Melee Power per Core Ability: 5
    • Ranged Power per Core Ability: 4
    • Each melee/ranged tree will also grant both Melee and Ranged Power at the same time. The exception to this is Fury of the Wild and Shiradi Champion, which will grant only Melee Power and only Ranged Power respectively, and contain only melee and only ranged attacks respectively.
    • To make up the rest of the Melee and Ranged Power that was currently available, we are doubling the bonuses of the Epic Power feat that is granted at each Epic Level from +3 to +6. This means that you will earn a total of +60 Melee and Ranged Power from leveling up versus the currently available +30.
• Usage-Per-Rest Abilities
  • Rather than individual abilities having their own charges (for example, Healing Spring in Shiradi being usable some number of times per rest), if we use a charges-per-rest system in the new Epic Destiny trees, it will always have a Heroic or shared component. Keeping with Healing Spring, in the new paradigm, it will instead use Wild Empathy charges (and grant a few so that you'll be able to start with the same amount of charges or more in the new flow). You'll see a lot more abilities that use things like Turn Undead, Bard Songs, Rage, and Smite Evil, and a lot of ways to augment recovering those charges or increasing your pool. This helps the Epic Destiny trees feel more like an extension of your existing abilities than an unconnected system meant to replace them.
• Feat Tie-Ins
  • We are reclaiming many of the former sub-optimal feats- for example, an Epic Destiny ability that grants a significant bonus if you have the Luck of Heroes Feat trained - in ways that would reward you for having them in your build without making them mandatory. You'll also see a lot of abilities that tie into Destiny and Epic feats that are underused or overlooked, such as Embodiment of Chaos/Law and the Bulwark of Defense feat. When these appear, rather than being requirements to train, they will instead apply an additional bonus if you have the feat to reward players who decide to shift their own meta.
• Ability Score Bonuses
  • There are no more ability score bonuses in these trees, which allows us space to include more exciting abilities that provide stronger benefits to characters. 
• DC Checks
  • Old Epic Destinies had DC checks that used specific stats to determine their DC, and sometimes didn't include DC bonuses they should have. This meant that if you were a specific caster type, you were limited in which Spell Like Abilities (SLAs) had workable DCs.
  • If an ability in a new Epic Destiny uses a DC, it follows this formula: 20 + (highest of Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma if a spell, highest of Strength/Dexterity/Constitution if a purely physical ability, highest of all ability scores if otherwise/both) + (spell school bonus if it's a spell, appropriate DC boost such as Sunder or Trip if not, includes things like Breath Weapon if it's a Breath Weapon, etc) This means that you can expect a relatively small range of DCs for your abilities that use the same stats, even across separate trees. It also means that if you're a spellcaster, your primary spellcasting stat will be able to contribute evenly, regardless of which tree you are in.
• New Trees
  • One of the major changes as a part of this refactor is that we can begin releasing entirely new Epic Destiny trees. We are starting with 12 Epic Destiny trees, and expect to introduce more over time. 
  • We are retiring Magister and replacing it with Magus of the Eclipse, a brand new Epic Destiny that focuses on Negative, Cold, and Necromancy spells, as well as weaving potent anti-magical defenses. 
• Epic Destiny Mantles, Epic Strikes, and Epic Moments
  • To help keep Epic Destinies feeling mechanically different than heroic trees, we're putting together a global system of active play across all trees.
  • Destiny Mantles
    • In the lower tiers of each Destiny Tree you will find an enhancement labeled as a Destiny Mantle. These are powerful persistent abilities that must be toggled on in order to gain their benefits. You can only have a single Destiny Mantle active at a time. You can take multiple of these Mantles in order to swap between them on the fly, however, you can only gain the benefits from one of them at a time. These exclusive toggles are how we plan to keep powerful passive abilities and aspects separate from each other (for example, Grandmaster of Flower's monk animation suite versus Shadowdancer's Shadowform) without making them truly exclusive. Their exclusivity also means that we can allow players access to them right at level 20.
  • Epic Strikes
    • Scattered throughout the Destiny Trees you will find abilities that are labeled as Epic Strikes. These abilities share a cooldown but are not exclusive. These powerful abilities are enhanced as you spend points in their respective trees, and are meant to be accessed right out of the gate at level 20.
  • Epic Moments
    • In Tier 5 of each tree you will find an Epic Moment. Epic Moments are powerful abilities with a long cooldown, and represent a significant amount of late-game power. Our design philosophy for Epic Moments was quite loose to give each tree the freedom it needed, but a general rule is that Epic Moments will break one fundamental "rule" of DDO for its duration. As an example, the Shadowform Epic Moment ("Shadow Mastery") allows you to be considered "stealthed" for its duration, regardless of your actions.
