What is going on?

I am new, so I missed a lot of old drama. I think I may see a pattern developing though.

I have been present for the broken update release, the offer wall debacle, and now the sale of additional bank space in DDO store for 995 tps. Not shared bank space, but per character. Wtf? Do they have a contest among the different departments at Turbine to see who can have the worst ideas? They are making Microsoft decisions look downright good. Damn.

I don't know but I sure do feel guilty about all my reputation.

Now just imagine that that, before delivering all of those horrible ideas, they promised you their horrible ideas were going to be GREAT without actually telling you what they were (their actual words were "vast and mysterious") and they kept telling you they'd be out "SOON"... while making you wait for over a year.  That's exactly what happened with the realease of EU, which is why most current players are not on good terms with the Turbine company.

You weren't around when endless players posted requests for character slots, bankslots, respec and most of them said they would be willing to pay for them.  Personally, I think it's a non-issue.  you can get 120 extra bank spaces for free with every extra F2P account you make.  If you really can't keep all your stuff in the spaces you get, well perhaps paying for pack ratting is reasonable.

An extra character space is what, 595 tp or something... close to double that for 20 bank slots, that arent shared doesn't make sense... just get an extra character slot and store on the character.

Well, if you don't want to offer something in the store but there are people constantly requesting it, price it accordingly.  Perhaps they just don't want to deal with the database issue with lots of players having more bank space, but if people are willing to throw down big bucks then ok...  After all, it is an "extra" that no one really needs, so who cares if it has a rediculous pricetag.

That is reasonable. I no longer feel angry. Thank you.

The boobies win out EVERY TIME!  Grin Grin

I've been playing since a couple months after launch when level cap was 10 and I have to say the thing that really got my cavern clenching was the "vast and mysterious" - we were stuck capped at level 16 for over a year with nothing but bacon puzzles and "SOOON!!!!" as responses to our neverending questions.  No new content, same old shit OVER AND OVER.  Gornn and I used to run about 18 Shrouds a night, just switching characters, rinse and repeat.  Then the next night was Hound, so on and so forth.

I have to say the only thing I really enjoyed about that time is that there were really only old schoolers left who had invested so much time, money and gear onto these characters that we were going to stick it out no matter what.  You could pretty much join any group for any quest and it would be fast and easy - everyone knew the content so we could just joke around and have a good time with no backseat leaders.  I know that Disavowed misses those times as well - Gianthold hasn't been the same since.  Grin

I've played since Day One (its official release) and I agree that the V&M Days were the best for pugs. It didn't matter who was in the group (it was probably mostly the same people on alts), it was always a bunch of badasses.

I was in a Taming the Flames group once and I made a rusty trombone joke and one of the guys in the party typed, "What's a rusty trombone?" and someone said over voice chat, "Dude, how do you not know what a rusty trombone is?" and the player replied, "I'm 8."  Undecided

That's a dangerous thing to say in this group, Arkaticus!  Someone is going to give you a face full of a Google image search!
