Dungeons And Dragons Online Starts Testing Its All-Encompassing Weapon Balance Update

Standing Stone Games will be rolling out a big balance update for Dungeons and Dragons Online that will standardize each and every weapons across the entire D&D MMORPG. The ultimate goal is to streamline weapon progression to avoid big stat jumps throughout the leveling process.

“Our big goal with this is to provide a way for our items to scale upwards as the level cap continues to increase, and fix some of the dead zones concentrated around high heroics and early epics where gear advancement isn’t as meaningful,” the developers explained. “We also want to smooth out our curve – right now, weapons kind of flounder around then zoom all the way up to 5W without warning.”

The weapon balance pass will go live as part of Update 62 which will also include balance tweaks to active attacks and improvements to the Sealed in Amber quest. The update is now live on the Lamannia preview server for testing ahead of its release.

You can check out the Update 62 preview patch notes on the Dungeons and Dragons Online official forums for more information.
