The Dungeons and Dragons Online test server opened up this week to put parts of both Update 59 and 60 through a short-term preview. This is perhaps to be expected after SSG recently shuffled its roadmap for the first half of the year.
For Update 59, SSG is putting the first three quests of its Droaam arc through the paces, previewing a brand-new mount type, and testing a “fundamental” change to bonuses that is supposed to help with performance and lag.
“A preview of an Underdark-themed Mount is available in the Test Dojo for you to check out,” the studio posted. “We are specifically looking for things like animation bugs as this is a new mount ‘rig type’ compared to a horse or dinosaur. We are not yet announcing where this mount will be available in the future, but it will be after the release of Update 59 and not with it.”
Also on the Lamannia test server is a preview of “hireling wererats” that are expected to arrive with the Vecna Unleashed mini-expansion. “We are not yet announcing how players will be able to acquire the Hireling Wererat,” SSG said.
