so with u21 we are down to 1 quest released. Sure turbine billed it as 5 hours, but folks are running this in under an hour. Keep in mind that this is day 1, so nobody has prior knowledge. Completion times will settle down into a 15 min zerg within 3 days of live. At this rate, next update will be nothing more then an outdoor zone.

Whether you use 1 hour or 15 minutes, that is not an update in any game. But hey, with only about 10 folks left on ddo maybe this is the best we will see till next year.

Given the way halflings assassinate giants, I think trip would make more sense.

And two raids. Steelstar basically confirmed it here.

I stand corrected. Well shit, 2 raids... that is welcome news. Still have objections about it being to easy and zergable.

Nice that you guys are finally breathing some life back into the game. Pretty fucking retarded quivering palm will have nothing that can add to it outside of the failed buff. I cant post on the forums because Tarrant and his tolero lover are idiots and hate me, which is fine as it is mutual. The thing is, people are reporting that NOTHING outside of wisdom is adding to quivering palm. I don't care if sundering isn't, it should return to what it was before then. Trying to regain the last 10-14 points from sunder with your little +4 failure buff isnt to bad. Trying to regain another 20 or so in your 3 minute time frame makes the ability a fucking wasted slot.

And just what should buff QP? There is nothing b/c that is how it is in pen and paper, although, combat mastery maybe, but then it should also help assassinate.

Epoch wrote on Jan 25^th, 2014 at 3:07pm:



I'm pretty sure they want to make QP a SUPER MINI EiN that you use maybe 2-3 times a quest.

Which... BLOWS.

for the love of all that is good and holy LET US ACCESS THOSE RAIDS DIRECTLY!
no crappy VoD/HoX/MA/LoB run through wildernesses that feel like 3hours wasted

You just brought pen and paper into this. You are a fucking moron. Your existence and knowledge of ddo are obviously equivalent to a retarded child.

It's hard to argue here.

Jealous?

Grumlee wrote on Jan 26^th, 2014 at 1:57pm:


This game has been nothing like pen and paper since, ever. The only thing I am jealous of is the blissful world you must live in, being the ignorant moron you are.

Word - what a waste of LOB, and to a lesser extent Master Artificer, but the first is more fun. I don't want to have tons of gates before I can even raid. There's a reason Shroud used to be the most popular raid - walk in once you are flagged, and lovely customisable loot. Even DQ suffers from the pre raid nonsense. If your market is 30 somethings with limited time, for all that is good, please allow the flag!

I have never paid cash for a Stormhorns teleport and never will. The existence just seems like a big fuck you to optimists like me who bought the expansion to throw some wonga Turbine's way. Not again.

What are you even talking about?  They haven't used the Core Rules since day one.  They used the Core Rules as their "inspiration", but DDO has never been D&D.  You can't come up with interesting alternative solutions for obstacles in DDO and you get to know ahead of time what you're facing in DDO because you run the same quests repeatedly.  That's VERY far from the concept behind D&D.
