Here’s what to look for in Tuesday’s DDi update:



  • All the monsters from Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale;

  • Content from Dragon 397 and 398;

  • Content from Dungeon 188 and 189;

  • The templar cleric, incorporating the updates that will be released on the 21st;

  • Plus the normal monthly errata and bug fixes, including an improved Inventory and Marketplace interface.


At the end of May, we were hoping that the delayed May update to the Character Builder would happen sooner rather than later, but unfortunately we were unable to make that happen. Here’s why.


Initially, the update was delayed because testing revealed a bug at the last minute. Rolling out the update with the bug would have proven worse than delaying the update, so we were put on hold. The plan at that time was to pin down the bug’s origin, and once we were confident that it wasn’t living in the new content (the templar and other monthly updates), that material would be made available without the other software upgrades.


Around the same time, the templar article was published and many of you had some strong feedback for us. With pages of feedback to consider, R&D decided to review the templar changes one more time and determine whether any re-adjustments were warranted. By the time those evaluations were done, alterations were made, and changes to the digital material were implemented … here we are. At this point, we’ve decided to deploy all of the June updates at one time rather than splitting them by less than a week.

Here's an update to the update --

The 6/21 update contains a known bug (in the Compendium only). Anytime you try to view the details on a ritual in the Compendium, you'll see a server error instead. Your ritual book in the CB should be unaffected. 

We're going ahead with the update as scheduled, because the bug has only minor impact. It's expected to be fixed with an interim update on 6/28.
