Turbine announces details, screenshots, and release date for DDO Update 5
Evil carnivals, Rogues that build traps, and flying guild halls. If you can't find something to love in Dungeons and Dragons Online Update 5, you're not looking hard enough. Turbine announced today that Update 5: Rise of the Guilds will arrive June 28th, bringing with it a huge list of updates and a brand new adventure pack. The update is centered around guilds. Guild renown, guild trophies, and the long-awaited guild airships will all arrive with this update, encouraging guilds to work together to earn them. Before those of you in OneDAwesome even ask: Yes, we'll be chasing all of these shinies as well as the adventure pack. Watch for this Friday's Exploring Eberron when we will we take a closer look at the update, but for now check out the details and new screenshots on the DDO site.
Exploring Eberron: What's next for Dungeons and Dragons Online?
OnedAwesome began actively currying favor with the Coin Lords of Stormreach this week in Dungeons and Dragons Online, by heading into the Steam Tunnels and tackling the Shan-to-Kor Adventure Pack. So what's next for OnedAwesome? We're taking on another explorable next week, this time in the level 4-10 range. Searing Heights is a bit more challenging than some of the other explorables that we've done in the past, and offers a fair amount of XP -- simply running around the area and finding all 15 landmarks will earn over 4,000 XP, and if you luck out and come across all nine rare encounters, it's another 6,075. You'll find several quests in the area as well, along with the slayer bonus for killing as you go. We'll meet at the gate to Searing Heights next Wednesday, at 9 PM US Eastern time -- the gate is in the Marketplace, just west of the Harbor gate and marked by a yellow "X." I want to take a minute and mention something that I read yesterday that really made me appreciate how exceptional the Massively guild is. Fernando Paiz gave an interview that I'll cover more later in this article, but he made an interesting statement: "Right now, if you're in a guild, you might see guild chat going by, but you don't really run into the people that much in the actual game." OnedAwesome is a glaring exception to that rule, thanks to each one of you in the guild. We play together Wednesday nights in constantly changing groups, something that allows us to get to know the guild members as a whole as time passes. I regularly see members logged in and helping one another outside of our scheduled playtime as well. It's this group dynamic that really brings the game to life, and each of you has my sincere thanks for showing other players how great the game can be with a good guild. Okay, Hallmark moment over (although you guys seriously are wonderful)! There are lots of happenings to discuss in the rest of the Dungeons and Dragons Online world, so follow along after the jump as we get all caught up!
