Standing Stone Announces Dungeons & Dragons Online: Masterminds of Sharn Expansion Delayed by Two Weeks

 

Well, it looks like the wait for Sharn is going to be two weeks longer, as it’s been pushed back for more polish.

 

The next expansion to Dungeons & Dragons Online was set to be released on April 30th. However, Cordovan has posted on the official DDO forums that the Masterminds of Sharn expansion will be delayed until May 14th. The team felt that there were “several things we want to do yet, based in part on your feedback from Lamannia”. 

Hello! We’re writing to update you on our release date for the Masterminds of Sharn expansion. In recent days, as we’ve neared our original April 30th date, we’ve been looking at several things we want to do yet, based in part on your feedback from Lamannia, and so we have decided to take a bit more time for final bug fixing and polish work. Our new release date for the Masterminds of Sharn expansion is now May 14th. Thank you!

On the plus side we will get another Lamannia preview according to Cocomajobo

With the recent delay of the live server release of Update 42 (which you can read about here) we have gained time for one final Lamannia preview. This third, and final, preview is expected to be open on Lamannia from sometime in the afternoon of Tuesday April 30th until sometime in the evening of Thursday May 2nd. There is planned to be a Dev event on Wednesday May 1st from 8-10PM eastern where members of the DDO team will be available on lamannia to answer questions, collect feedback, and run content with players.

Preview 3 is expected to showcase all of Update 42 features in various states of polish including:

  • Sharn Public Areas
  • Cogs Explorer Area
  • 9 Sharn Story Dungeons
  • 8 Cogs Explorer Dungeons (Yup! We managed our stretch goal and now fully expect an additional explorer dungeon than we were willing to commit to at the time of pre-purchase announcement.)
  • 1 Masterminds of Sharn Raid (The only one releasing at the same time as Update 42)
  • Named Loot
  • Minor Artifacts
  • Filigree
  • Miscellaneous smaller changes and fixes

What are your thoughts on the dealy?
