Listening now.

Rowan actually seems likable.


Highlights


COM Drops prolly not going up. But there will be more sources of coms in the future..

New class end of this year/beg of next. Interesting.
New Guild ship designs/skins; "Buy all" buffs (something like a "gimmie all da buffs plox" button)


U22 the "Pirate Update"  (guild ships, Epic 3 Barrel, possible Swashbuckler PrE)
« Last Edit: Jan 25th, 2014 at 8:51pm by Meat-Head »  

A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule.

New class? Now that's interesting. Couldn't give a shit about Epic 3BC.

And of course Coms are not going up. They are found in Epic Boxes now Wink The store is their new loot location.

New Class... They Should fix all the broken shit on the existing ones, and add fucking class ( not PRE ) trees.

I don't care about Epic 3BS [ Typo unintended, but to the point ]. What is needed for long term survival of the game is Epic Vale and Exquisite Greensteel.

the CoV move is obvious, since everybody is whining that the number is too high, that they are BtC and can only be gotten in Reward list.
More to the point : You fucking don't want to fucking buy complete Epic Hearts ?
Well then We are going to fuck you and put the fucking commendations in something you will buy, CoV are in the fucking Otto Boxes naow. Are you happy shitters ?


( personally I don't care, I don't intend to buy any box nor buy any Epic Heart. )

I think they had to stash the comms in them. Probably had a huge drop in sales when fucktards bought the stones then had to spend a week getting no xp farming comms. After a week of farming comms they said what the fuck did I buy that for and then told fucktard friends how shit was a fail. Adding comms is just a way of moving stones again.

Pretty sure it's never going to happen. They consider the Enhancements done and closed, they are not going to bother with them anymore.

Until they fix the fight club properly, noone is going to buy any Heart or Box at all (or at least not as many as Turbine would like to).

What I REALLY can't understand about CoVs is the reward thing. They should have made them drop at the end of the quest, just like Challenge ingredients.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

I keep expecting Warlock.  Would be far easier to implement.  Few Toggles, few spells, lots of destruction:  done.

When Artificer was put into the game, the other class that was STRONGLY rumored to be added at the time was Psion. In fact, the rumors were so strong that I got an infraction for reporting on the DDO Forums that the new class would actually be Psion and not Artificer. The infraction I got was because I supposedly broke NDA stuff. But here's the thing, I didn't have access to Mournlands nor did I ever sign any NDA. It was a REAL shitty infraction to give since all I did was put a bunch of pieces together from Dev postings, circumstances within the game and circumstances outside the game and came up with a conclusion. The even shittier thing was I was wrong and STILL got the infraction!

That whole episode is one reason I absolutely cannot stand Jerry.

Anyway, the new class may not be Psion but I'm guessing they had done a lot of work on it previously so it seems like a good candidate.

If we lean Arkat way, they might add Kalashtar as Iconic to go with the Psion...

I didn't have my completionist status when the last few classes were added. How bad is this going to gnarl up my toon trying to fix it after it drops?  Based on my last ER and LR, I expect the worst.

Swashbuckler was a weak and boring PrE in PnP (although of course it was great roleplaying flavour), and it's going to be a weak and boring enhancement tree in DDO (which doesn't have any roleplaying).  They shot themselves in the foot by coupling prestiges to classes way back when; now they're stuck with that crappy design decision forevermore, and the lousy UI they came up with hamstrings their thinking even more.

fify

please note that, I don't find bards boring, they can be fun to play...But nowadays they are just the oddball left to pike in a corner since they are too squishy, don't pull out enough DPS and can't land spells.

I play mine like a cleric with crowd control.  The problem with bards is the group make up they would excel in doesn't exist.  Lots of single target DPS.

They can be useful for zerging to the end of some quests, killing & looting before the mezzes start to break.  Bards are like EQ Enchanters now.  Unreal crowd control, but not much else after mana song and HP song.
