It really is such a dick move... and removes the last use anyone had for the Canith challenges.

Market has talked FoS into doing a Sex tape for Update 22.

Why's he doing it? Because he's good at his job.

What can we expect from the sex tape? Random.

Been there since yesterday. Ran a Trivia Event today, going to do another one tomorrow.

It's actually one of the ten best things I've been a part of in this game. We may not actually make a difference - but it's getting noticed. And at least we're making our opinion known.


Just to note - I hate TRing, and have only done so once. But, even though I have nothing on the line here - I felt that such a fucktarded change needed to be protested. This is among the worst bad decision in two years' worth of bad decisions.

Good. I tipped off a couple of games journos I know, but they are mostly WOW folk.

Been sitting on the bridge on and off this weekend. The changes proposed are beyond terrible.

Thinking about it, if I were Turbine I'd probably have not said anything over the weekend either.

Given DDO's minimal marketing budget, being talked about at all apart from obligatory "DDO have another expansion" articles is probably a good thing.

There's even a chance they'll be able to turn this positive by announcing changes to the proposal in line with the players' demands.

For those not in the know, just reading "protest -> changes redacted" could make it sound like a good MMO.

Even if they just scale back changes somewhat they could look okay: e.g. if they just marginally increase commendation saga rewards or marginally reduce heart costs. 

A few smart dev quotes and a sympathetic article writer (if there is a follow-up) could let Turbine dictate where the goalposts for being 'responsive to players' are and claim a victory here.

Any publicity is good publicity. Like deathdefy said it will be spun as Turbine listening attentively to their players.

While I support those on Wayfinder protesting, it's pointless.

Turbine was never going to risk a large portion of the populace to introduce a drastically bad mechanic unchanged. They will either increase commendation droprate, decrease commendation requirement, or a combination of both.

Say goodbye to your tokens.

At this point I'm holding onto the last hope of good loot and a fun raid in u21. I did not buy shadowfell and probably never will. Shadowfell is a blatant ripoff, not worthy to be called an expansion.

I just wonder why they are doing that on wayfinder. Wouldn't it be better to do this on a sever where actually someone is playing so that more people get informations about the upcoming changes?

Because the one guild on Wayfinder with more than four people can go sit on the bridge and thus guarantee reported statistics like "On one of DDO's game servers, over 93% of the people  took part in the protest!"  Grin

Think of it like Occupy Wall Street... converging in a park is one thing, but blocking a sidewalk when people have shit to do is counter-productive.

Oh ?

We didn't want Enhancement Crash the way it has been done, still they shoved it down our throat by Vargouille because he has a hard on on tough choices.
We didn't want Random shit on Named Loot, Still that is becoming the standard thanks to F_o_S, because that brony loves random.

you want more ? I can probably find more in the Kobold Do Not Want list that Turbine forced on us. ( historically : Offer Wall, Levelling Token, ... )

Bad Press is Bad Press... It's worse than no press at all.

They will have to act swiftly today to alleviate the Bad Press.
