Its about time, maybe they will get the idea that low com rates/high number required for a heart=pissed off player base.....Nah stupid is as stupid does they think we will just pop the points for a heart.
  

My motto is: exploit early, exploit often

I'm not ending my current break from DDO early just for this stupid shit bonus event. Double bonus also feels extremely insulting IMHO when you've already gone through the legitimate grind.

I don't intend to return until epic three barrel cove /sarcasm. (I'll come back to check any new content.) *Continues playing games bought during Thanksgiving-ish sales*

If you ground out comms before, you *should* feel stupid.

And just to reiterate on a separate post for emphasis.

This is fucking insulting, Turbine. GFY.

Nah, I did literally everything only once on EE with Elite Streak for the xp and fun (and it was fun) - not thinking about CoV - but saw I was barely even half way to a heart and left for my overdue break from ddo.

Yeah, all my characters were 25 before they introduced comms.

Not even slightly interested by this.

this only bears any interest to me if they're going to throw out the entire CoV system at the end of the year.
Otherwise Turbine can go eat a bag of dicks.

It's also worth noting that EE Wheloon is not granting double comms. 96 Instead of 120. And some people are reporting 0 comms.

After Jerkoff Jerry said in his video that you should run the hardest content you can to maximize your rewards.

That really doeant matter at this point. a handful more quests and a raid or 2 over the next year wont help. Those past lives and destinies and such are not important since turbine took the game into hello kitty realm.

when the main reasons people play a game is just to use the games chat/vox engine and to exploit.... well  Wink

This whole thing is just *so* Turbine.  What should be a good thing is just handled so badly it becomes a negative.

1) Double CoV's!
2) Wait - OK, not all of them are doubled.
3) Oh wait again - SHOCKER! - it's bugged.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/432929-DDO-Bonus-Days-Commendations-of...

*************
There is a bug that we are looking into where Commendations of Valor are not appearing in the end reward lists for any of the Wheloon or Stormhorns story arc quests when run on Epic Elite. They should appear when running on Epic Normal and Epic Hard. Commendations of Valor are also not appearing in the end reward lists for Brothers of the Forge and A Study in Sable. We will be adding this bug to the Known Issues list shortly.

If you encounter another Epic quest where you are not getting Commendations of Valor, and are 100% sure that you do not have any Quest XP Ransack, and are running it on Epic Normal or above, please let us know about it. You can submit a bug report by visiting ddobugs.turbine.com.
**************

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

It would be comical if it wasn't SO FUCKING SAD!  I GUESS IT WAS TOO HARD TO TEST!!!  FFS!

I love it how they are always "looking into it" or "working on it".

Wow, it will even be added to the Known Issues list shortly, congrats.

Just sad, that's true.

Maj, if you're reading this and you're interested in engaging in the "sea change" at DDO, the Changed Guard could add to each line item on the Known Issue List the DATE that it was put there.


That way everyone could see for themselves how fast things were, you know, changing.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things.

Other companies will settle for shitting out garbage, Turdbin actually prefers to. Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up.

Breaking something and putting it back together isn't as good as not breaking it to begin with, it's not even close.

Devs do not care what players want - they already have an agenda and give out token gestures so the paladins can feel worthy.

The DDO devs aren't motivated by a positive user experience.

It shouldnt be that hard to tr... its always only took 20 tokens to tr..  so 20 quests or so.. i did 20 eh and it wasnt even a tenth of the amount of coms needed.. they need to make it more reasonable.. this is a step in the right direction.. hope it wont go backwards again...

I think 2000 comms of valour is a good number, mostly running a certain set of quests on EH to get my current main's life to cap I'm at about 1300 comms at about 300k from 28......if I had a more well rounded set of quests run and done more EEs I might be at about 2k, also I realistically bumped it up from 1k to 1.3k today by doing some EE GH quests with double comms of valour.....2k is a good number for eTR hearts and iTR hearts.

Yeah, this!

And make it a policy that GM's can't blow you off with "this is a known issue" if it isn't actually on the known issues list.

Because bug reports that take months to, or never do, make it to the known issues list doesn't say "powered by our fans" to me, it's more like "where the shit hits our fans".
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Ouch, and those are the two quests I would run most often for CoV if I were currently playing. High quest CR for greater CoV reward, reasonably short, and no obligatory feelings of completing an entire saga.
