Release Notes: Module 7: The Way of the Monk (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=148513)
The marketplace tent is gone, destroyed in a hail of fiendish magic that left a crater in its wake. While the devils of Shavarath have been pushed back to their home plane, remnants of their army remain. Amidst the chaos of the invasion, monks have arrived to turn the tide.
Of particular note for our community:
UI Improvements
Be careful! “Sell” is now the default tab when talking to vendors, rather than “Buy”.
A confirmation dialog has been added to the Default button in the Options UI.
There are now 20 shortcut bars available, for those who carry too many clickies/weapons/spells to fit on 10. Those of you who had previously used the unsupported methods of accessing bars 11-20 will be happy to know that they now will remember where you put them on the screen.
When examined, some scrolls did not display their level 16 UMD class requirement. This has been fixed.
Quest portal info screen text has changed. It now shows the quest difficulty along with the level.
A new click–and-hold to attack option has been added to the game and is defaulted to on.
The Finished button in the quest objectives panel will no longer be grayed out if the player is resurrected after quest completion.
If your shopping cart is empty, the buy/sell/repair button will be grayed out to prevent confusion.
Floaty damage numbers now spread out further -- this should make it easier for people who hit a monster several times at once to see the damage (rangers with Manyshot, for example).
There are now key bindings for switching to shortcut bars 11-20, and for shortcuts 51-100.
The G15 keyboard display now shows a Ki bar for monks.
A confirmation dialog will now appear if you close a vendor UI with items still in a shopping cart.
The Quest Portal UI will now display a warning if you do not have the selected quest bestowed, or if you are on the wrong chapter/goal.
The fellow select keys will no longer toggle selection by default. You can turn this behavior back on if preferred in the Options (Game play tab).
Maps will now display active quest entrances and quest-givers, allowing players to see available quests that they are eligible to undertake.
The Thirteenth Eclipse will now appear listed with the '/quest completions' command.
Clicking and dragging the map now works while running. The map will be re-centered at the player’s position when the mouse button is released.
Improvements to the map notes have been added:
Quest Locations - Now show quest entrances (and some exits).
Quest Locations (Active) - Now have a unique icon.
Quest Bestowers - These NPCs have a quest for you.
Quest Bestowers (Advancer) - These NPCs will advance your quest.
Quest Bestowers (Inactive) - These NPCs have already bestowed their quest on you.Full patch notes can be seen here (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=148513).
