February Compendium Update released

[Colen]

Hello,

The February 4e update can now be downloaded through the updates mechanism. The following changes were made in this update:

* Updated the downloader to support the February compendium update.
* Added a new NPC tab for recording important information about NPCs.

Enjoy!

I have lost the descriptions for a large amount of my powers; all the powers for my sorcerer with the exception of the Utility powers (@wills Lighting Strike & Storm Walk;Encounters Thundering Gust, Thunder Bomb & Thunder and Strike; Daily Howling Thunder, Thunder Leap & Winds of Change), nearly all of the daily powers for rogues (cleaver Riposte and Encounter Rouge's Luck) , wizard power daily Rolling Thunder; at wills Storm Pillar, Phantom Bolt.
The DDI Download went fine (though I did not watch it, end message said successful) Loaded characters and saw changes to items like woundpatch just wondering if I need to redo the DDI content or if anyone else has this problem?
Thanks
Sean

Okay I ran the DDI again and the update for HL 4E but still under powers No description and no information. I am not sure what happend or why, I can send the character files if you guys think it would help.
Thank you

I sent Colen an email about this. Unfortunately (well, fortunately for him), he's enjoying a couple days of R&R at the local gaming Con this weekend (I'm jealous), so he probably won't see this until late Monday. If he needs more info from you, he'll post it here once he sees my email and checks into this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience....

Thank you Rob it is cool I understand and I always wait to update my laptop until I know everything is rocking first Hey I am sorry to hear you got stuck at work, but I do Hope that Colen enjoys the Con. I have no pressing matters to worry about in my gaming life LOL so I am happy to wait.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hi SAbel,

Go to the D&D Compendium here:

http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/database.aspx

And look up some of the powers you have problems with, such as Rolling Thunder. Do you see the power description, or does it give you some sort of error message?

Sorcerer Attack 5Thunder Leap
A thunderclap propels you into the air, and you land with a deafening crack, pushing your foes away.

Daily Arcane, Implement, Thunder
Standard Action Close burst 1

Primary Target: Each creature in burst

Primary Attack: Charisma vs. Fortitude

Hit: 2d6 + Charisma modifier thunder damage.

Effect: You jump a number of squares equal to your speed + your Charisma modifier. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. Then make a secondary attack.

Secondary Target: Each creature in burst

Secondary Attack: Charisma vs. Fortitude

Hit: 2d6 thunder damage, and you push the secondary target 1 square.

First published in Player's Handbook 2.

Thunder leap checks so have all the other I have looked up from the post, and they do show up in the DD Character builder.

I am wondering if I encountered the same problem that the Jan update had. I will attempt to download again tonight.

If you think it would help I can send you the characters but as it looks I might as well run the DDI again (for a third time, hope it lets me) and then try to open the files. I do not think that I will need to update HL since I have already done this 2x.

I have also noticed that powers such as Healing word for clerics and lay on hands for Paladins does not show up at all and that was working fine for me in Jan. I think it must be the DDI content messing up.

 

[SAbel]

Well I started the DDI and now I am getting this

Too many retries - abandoing this entry.
subscriber page encountered unexpectedly.
subscriber page encountered unexpectedly.

and then it just repeats this message. So I am not sure what to do now.

 

[SAbel]

Not sure if this will help but here is one of the characters which is missing a large amount of the power descriptions.

I think this is the case, unfortunately. What time do you normally run the downloader? Try starting it at a different time - if you can leave your computer on, do it when you leave for work in the morning, for example. The servers should be least busy on weekday mornings, so I think that's when you'd have the best chance of downloading stuff without problems.

 

[SAbel]

Okay I will try in tomorrow, before I go to work. I hope that I have not hit the limit of downloads for DDI (Which I did not know that one existed)

I will let you know after work if all went well.
Thank you Colen

Ah Yes Colen you do it again. It must ahve been something with the DDI download b/c I ran it again and now I am back up and running. Thank you
