Moving this part of my post in another thread here, as it was off-topic there: Also, one quirk about the new XDD appearances ... if you use the smaller, newer, humanoid forms (that show the shield and a lot more emotes) ... when you un-equip your weapon and shield, you cannot re-equip both without going back to one of the dragon forms. A bit awkward, but not a huge problem, unless you were to be disarmed in combat. I was not able to replicate this with a WDD. Was it using a Red that you encountered this problem? Which of the two small humanoid forms does it happen on (or both)? Is it any weapon and shield, or only specific ones? What method are you using to un- & re-equip the items (quickslots for each, one quickslot for both, drag to and from inventory, other)?

Yeah, I was using RDD at the time.
Will check it tomorrow after work and take screenies. Specifically I was using Screaming Gale and Pentatvite Shield (both are craft, if it matters).

Guess theres gotta be one unhappy guy in every crowd , guess thats me this time . Not happy with the changes to RDD's that were half - white dragons . The benefits they recieved for the combo was the reason I made the toon and invested the time . It's a free subrace , so I don't see myself reincarnating it under the current system . Don't agree with the change on the basis that a half dragon / rdd should share the benefits of the dual parentage , not be penalized . As it is then a Hybrid . Take Chromatic Dragons as an example . So far this sounds like a rant , here's where it becomes a request . Please change either the RDD part of the update back to the way it was or modify the way you are allowing the reincarnation system to allow us the use of whatever subraces we have unlocked . That seems the only fair resolution in this circumstance to me as this update completely removes the reason of why I would even use the half white dragon subrace in combination with RDD . In short , I would like fair compensation for my investment of time . Thank you for your time in reading this . Feng I'd suggest going with the following subrace on reincarnation: "Half-Dragon - Green" - requires Human (adds wings) STR +2, INT +1, WIS -2, 65% immune acid, 150% vulnerable electrical, speaks Draconic You'd end up with 100% unreducable immunity to acid (handy for at least one layer of the hells and of course useful before that), and if you drank some ancient dragon's blood, the electrical vulnerability would be significantly reduced (I think i heard to 25%?). One of the most popular shields for STR tanks grants 100% electrical immunity too, so you'd have 75% electrical immunity if you used that (it's a set drop in a LL area). Combine that with around 20/- resist to electrical damage and you should be fine This is at least what i have in mind for my WDD.. edit: Someone in-game informed me Half Dragon vulnerability is reduced to 25% with ancient dragon blood.

Or if you are lucky enough to find a dragonblooded (UR) book, then you could upgrade. This was the next step up for my RDD, back when I first made him.

Upgraded to dragonblooded too. It has less immunes, true, but as the blood thingy is more hear-say missing some real info (also I believe it's behaviour will be modified and reduced in one of the updates) I'm sticking with dragonblooded. More hp, more skill points, higher AB. I think it's worth it.

. . . but it would be a lot nicer if we could use the journal for everything and get rid of the books/boards. New players often do not know a lot about what changes are made here. Using the journal instead of books will allow them easy acces, as well as notify them about the enormity of grandiose ( ) changes that were made, since when your journal is updated, you normally check it righ-away. Also, you would be able to "update" your information without having to visit the shops. I like the idea you have about using journal. Oh and I too did not have any problems equiping shield + large weapons with my "small" RDD (yes RDD), but I noticed another player who had just hit lvl 40 and changed appearance was NOT able to equip his doubleaxe and shield using the small appearance. Not even after crashing (he crashed just before lolth died XD)/relogging. Not sure about large appearance, since he crashed/relogged when small.

Trazik Yes we have no bananas ... I can confirm that I cannot reproduce this problem today. I have tried numerous things and it seems to be working fine. Trazik

Okay, I have some problems since this update. I don't know if it's related to this update or the reincarnations. Anyways, after reincarnating my RDD every time I log in I get a message "You cannot use that item". I checked and I don't lose any equiped stuff so it's not really something that bothers me much. It's just puzzling.
And the other thing is much more anoying. I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere in the thread but I have problems using the scry to display the rarity. Above my toon only one item is shown (in game) and in the chat window I get some kind of messages (like sent from myself to myself) for every single thing I have with one line of space in between. Both seem kinda problematic, the first one is not so much of a problem, we only use that to bolster amongst ourselves by counting the bur/urs, but having to scroll 3 times as much to see the list in the chat window seems kinda...unneccesarry. It looks like a bug all together.
Any ideas?

Having the books auto-update is possible, but it would be a lot nicer if we could use the journal for everything and get rid of the books/boards. If this system works, will you still be maintaining the forum threads that hold the information? Will there be any format change for them?

I was planning to post on this myself though, as I have an idea for a more aesthetically pleasing solution - thanks for the reminder.

I did read your original post and the first reply but somehow lost track of the thread. I figured the change was introduced due to that thread. Anyways, I agree with your idea, would pretty much solve the "problem". Anyways, I'm still puzzled about that "Cannot use that item" message. I would really like some info on that if the admins can help? Again, I don't see any real problems with it but would still like to know what is happening and why that message is appearing all the time.

You can safely disregard it, old bug, of which I forget the specifics at the moment. It's caused by deleveling, and there is no fix that I am aware of. Funky
