I don't know why you can't just go back to disco balls, then take 'em down slow.  If you have to, get someone to "paint" like in VoD and tell people to hit the blue one.

I had a blastie in there and it made me think of all the times we failed Shroud when it first came out, but had an awesome time doing it.  I look forward to seeing the strategies that are born from this update.

OMG and someone get Oak to get in here and tell the battered women joke.  I think Stainer popped something.

hahahahaha, oh man, I wish I could remember where I first heard it, but it was a long, long time ago.  And boy is it in poor taste.  Tongue

Did you know that 10% of women in the United States are battered?  And here I've been eating them plain this whole time.  Sad

I love that the blades hit like a truck and that strategy is required again in one of the best raids going.



I think that the blades are going to be mitigated over time, except in one situation. The little hiccup or hitch in latency that DDO gets occasionally. I don't think that is client related in any shape, but even if it is, those blades go from being able to heal through, to oh snap, I just got hit 25 times while I couldn't move.

I don't think they can, but I wish they could counter that someway.

Agreed. Once new tactics are devised as the "standard" and everyone knows the drill. The majority of groups that will wipe do to latency running on elite will also esily beable to reform and regroup and get to that point again within 10 15 minutes. We see that in botched raids all the time, thank goodness this isnt the Twilight Forge where there just isnt anyway to speed things up. In fact twilight forge is worse now that you cant just have 1 or 2 people clear the preraid and death run through the hallways. This is another annoying raid that will be run even less... how are those Soaring Isles packs selling I wonder?

ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT ALL MY OLD REAVER AND ABBOT LOOT IS NOT UPGRADEABLE... the Reaver can fuck himself in the ear with Blades from the Shroud, I refuse to regrind just to get striding 30 and +2 more dex on my boots, Abbot will be run only because some guildies on Paladins want litanies and I am used to old schooling the ice wand part... btw Evasion on the Abbot is cheap after the fact unless you add a ring of evasion to the loot tables, just saying. All in all the new content gets a B+ besides the no retro upgrades.


Have patience grasshopper. 

They have said (and I actually believe them this time) (no, really) that the upgrades for the old loot will be added to the stone of change, but weren't going to be in the tables for update 12's release.

Heh.  The funny thing about the Ishy vs fake ishy thing, is that I tried for YEARS to convince my guildies to call me Osh instead of Ish.  Somehow, it just never stuck.

Some of them have wised up and gone with 'sharon, but that's about the limit.  Although others have been going with Ysh, which doesn't help since it sounds just like Ish anyway.

And then there's the small subset that just go with Tregarth, or AUM scum.  (I'm looking at you Alex!)

Sigh...
