Don’t expect to binge Dungeons and Dragons Online’s latest quest pack because Standing Stone Games is holding back all of its goodness from your digital gluttony. Update 73.1: Tavern Tales arrived yesterday to continue its slow-drip storytelling.
The first new quest line, Dinosaur Crisis, arrived earlier this month. The latest update launches Toil and Trouble and is available to play right now, but the other two are time-gated. Covered Culvert unlocks on April 30th, followed by Sleeping with the Fishes on May 14th. The base level of these quests is pretty low, although there are epic and legendary difficulties available.
It should be noted that these quests are currently available to subscribers, but free players have to buy them in the shop. In fact, the discounted bundle went live today.
Also with this update came a significant adjustment to how mobs track your stealthiness: “Adjustments have been made to the way enemies attempt to track characters under certain invisibility and stealth conditions, including when an enemy is in a Blind state. These changes address a long term performance issue that was increasing over time that could cause significant ‘brain dead’ behaviors and other enemy pathing problems.”
