Epic levels will use a different XP system and players will still be able to TR at level 20.  TR will remain a 'heroic' feature and continue to be highly relevant.

Please excuse me for being brief, I'm in the middle of moving and have lots of packing to do. [/quote]

Someone posted a good question about Epic xp carrying over from TR to TR but just that little bit has me pretty happy.  There's still that chance that 'level 20 gimps' won't be welcome in stuff like Shroud depending on how they do stuff but if that happens I'll just run my own darned shroud with those darned gimpy level 20's.

my wizzie will be able to hit 45 spell pen once she hits lvl 25. ofc she has 11 lives atm.

But, as we all know, dnd breaks down the higher the level you go.

Do the survival chances of your enemy increase when you are lvl 20 Wizard instead of lvl 20+5 Wizard? xP

Well DDO has a chance to fix something with the last lvls, not essentially with the abilities of the characters, but mostly with the monsters appearing.

High SR, High Saves, Deathblock, Epic Ward, Some from Lolth cast effect that prevents instant death on her precious slaves - against wizzies (not global, but at least for a considerable important number of mobs)

Evasion, High Reflex Save Drizzt-Clones, Elemental Resistant Mobs, Mass Protection from Energy Spamming, more elemental immunity relevance - against sorc

Evasion, Freaking pew-pew Drow masses - against BB

Arcanes and Divines would still be superior when their tricks actually work, but it wont be that easy - Melee would be constant solid DPS

Sure thats more like I want it to be, than what it will look like, but there is a chance! 

I see a lot of noise about "why aren't they answering our questions?"  Now, I'm not in the know, I'm just a casual player with alt-itis, but it could be that they don't know all the answers yet.  It's coming out this summer, it's not done yet.  It's quite possible that they made the announcement earlier than they wanted to, thanks to Stainer and his sneaky, fact finding ways.  If that's the case, it might just be "Damn it!  They keep asking us stuff and we aren't ready for that yet!"

Drow (even FR Drow) are not immune to Web.

Or, they could just have FoM that is dispellable.

Lots of Drow in Gianthold cast Fire Shield: Cold when you encounter them.  If the Drow in the Underdark are smart enough to cast Fire Shield: Hot when you encounter them, they'll end up much tougher to fight than people are expecting.

If I were a Drow, that's the first thing I'd cast when I encounter a party of adventurers even if I know that they're going to have enough Fire resistance to negate all of the damage.

I honestly don't know if I hope that Turbine programs the AI that way or not.

Or, boobies!

You didn't try hard enough, use your search fu, little grasshopper, it has been posted this morning.
