ROFL...I thought that myself.

"Hey, great new item coming to the store on the 27th.  Will cost....ONE MILLION TURBINE POINTS".

Next Day:
"Hey, you can have 30% off anything over 1500 TP's...until the 26th!"

They definitely have underpants gnomes in their employ.

Tomes, possibly. It looked like they originally intended for U14, but I guess they could pushed up since they got leaked to Lammania. No one from Turbine has said anything afaik.

Well U13 drops the 27th so it does suck for premium people that they can't get the discount on U13.

meh. I'm a LOTRO freetard, I remember Isengard

"oh hai, there's this sexy new expansion, with some random cosmetic shit I don't need (it's called get a coffee when you ride a pony, it's not hard)"

"oh hai, there's this expansion, for much less shit"

"oh hai, there's this expansion"

"oh hai, there's this expansion"

"oh hai! oh hai! oh hai! repeat ad infinitum"

it's a bit so what to me, I fully intend playtesting  on Lama and making my own view. If they don't allow that, I'll wait a while. It's not like the other content's going to automagically get any harder *shrug*

U13 drops on the 27th and I anticipate that XP tomes will be part of that.  Mostly because shitloads of people will buy them.

I suffer from both altoholism and a loathing for leveling characters, so I'm probably not going to buy any tomes. I'm still trying to figure out what I should buy for the 30% thing (maybe another character slot and 10 more shared bank slots?).

no they were meant for U13, Turbines goal is to get as many players to 20 prior to expansion. You have to remember that we are now getting Lama  releases much earlier than before with more builds. Majors goal is to make it more of a public test server based on feedback that Lama was not helpful because bugs found on it often made it to live because there was no time to fix it.
So the result of earlier builds is we may get incomplete items appearing early on.

I think that's a good decision.  If you're going to preview bugs, you should fix them.  If you're not going to fix bugs, you shouldn't preview them.

Small price to pay, IMO.

I love these deals.  I'll probably end up buying the following:

1x Character slot - not that I ever plan on making a new toon, but mostly to fuck around with.
3x bunny hats - for the toons that I think would get the most use out of them
3BC - best adventure pack


For my second account, I'm considering buying monk so I can roll my cleric into a clonk (now that DI is worthless).

Agreed. The only thing people have to remember is they have to have new expectations about what they see on Lama especially the first build or 2. We are not used to seeing things in such an early state, therefore the initial response is "how could turbine let something like this(pick your bug) onto Lama". I think what we saw early on was a lot of bugs being reported had already been fixed in internal builds.

Releasing the XP tomes in U13 is dumb or the fact that I think that they'll release XP tomes in U13 is dumb?

I still anticipate that the XP tomes will come to the DDOstore 3-6 weeks after the update goes live.  (Yes, they have done stupid shit like that in the past.)

Maybe for some.  I’m planning on enjoying my Artificer incarnation.  So, it’s not a big deal for me.  (At least for now.)  Now, if I could just go back in time and have one of those tomes applied to the paladin incarnation…

U13 is free.


I doubt the new tomes will show up for a while.

Sorry to ask, I think I missed this part.  Is there any change in DI?

Thanks!

I plan on enjoying my next Wizard life as well.  I'd just rather enjoy levels 17 and 18 for less time than I'd enjoy them without an XP tome.

Heh.  I’m only saying that I’m OK with taking a while to get through levels 18 and 19 on the Artificer.  The newness of the class hasn’t worn off for me.  Now, the Sorc, Bard and FvS lives are a different story.

No, but the main quests that DI made for a nice easy button have been changed.  So it's back down to being an optional perk again.

Ohhh, thanks for the reply.  What was the easy button?  Or it is a Fight club easy button?

Naw.  Mainly (for me) it was getting immunity to the insta death water in the black abbot raid.
