Half-elves are in Update 7!

Update: Update 7 will also add a 12-man raid, a free questline and will support DirectX-11

Update 2: Update 7 will also be introducing a new monster race – Medusas. Most likely the theme of the new quest theme (source)?

Update 3: New information regarding the new questline, raid, guild size changes and a new ingame event – link.

Update 4: Both of the races will be available for purchase on the DDO Store. Guess half-elves as a free race is out of the question.

Thats right, you heard (read) it first here, on DDO-daily.com.

Turbine will be releasing Half-elves in Update 7 along with already known, Half-orcs.
All PAX 2010 attendees will see the new races presented at the Turbine booth at the convention.

Update 7 adventure pack level 12, new raid 6 and more

The new adventure pack (free) that will be added to the game in Update 7 will be level 12 and will include a medusa as a boss. The story will revolve around a character called Nat Gann and finding out the truth about his fate.
The new raid will be level 6 with an epic version (yay) will be about going back in time and stopping the devil invasion. Will be part of the already existing Devil Assault adventure pack.

Also a new ingame event will be added called the Plane of Night. The event will be in Delera’s Graveyard and about combat when the sky turns purple.

Guild size will now be calculated by active accounts instead of currently all accounts.

Some of the above mentioned information has been found from Anne Trent’s blog.

A set of Update 7 Bug fixes

Update: Seems like I made a mistake. The blog post was by MadFloyd, not Eladrin. Sorry.

Update 2: More bugfixes have been listed.

Update 3: The following list is consists of bugs that have already been fixed, not what they want to fix.

Update 4: Additional bugfixes have been added

Update 5: A small portion of bugfixes have been added

MadFloyd has posted on his myddo blog a few bugs that will be fixed in Update 7.

  • Directionally targeted spells (projectiles and the like) will no longer fire in crazy directions when a target is very close to the caster (MadFloyd comments: Fireballs that fired directly upwards have been driving me nuts!)
  • Repeating crossbows should be much more reliable in producing all three shots per load.
  • Summoned monsters will now display their names in Party colors instead of monster colors.
  • When resting, any negative level on you is removed and you get up with all the HP’s that you *should* have (factoring in Heal skill and how far down you were at the time)
  • Monk Spell Resistance from Diamond Soul will now be reflected on your character sheet.
  • Master’s Touch now works on longswords.
  • Clerics will now remove curses if they are able, and if they are not able, they will know better than to try to heal a target immune to positive energy (Unfortunately, this fix is limited to hirelings.).
  • Monsters that do not attack players will now also not attack hirelings.
  • Hirelings should no longer leave the party in the middle of a dungeon.
  • Eldin Thestral, general guild vendor, has been instructed to lower his prices a bit (other guild vendors will also charge less for repairs as well).
  • In Fathom the Depths, if the Treasure Guardian drops its key in an akward place, another copy of the key is now available on top of the platform.
  • The Character Generation Ability screen will now update HP, SP, and Ki to reflect your ability choices

Also, if I were to speculate based on what he said, Update 7 should be hitting the live servers by the end of September or beginning of October.
