Fairly certain they meant that what you currently have on the ship will not be wiped away like it has been many times before..... even to the extent that they gave away free stuff in the store in order to reimburse players.

Except that later in the thread they admit that, yes, the old ones WILL be taken away.

It is NOT like Guild Augments, which you can still buy, or old Epic Augments, which are permanent.  You won't be able to buy them anymore, and they run out, so that's it.


Guess what they meant was the ones we currently have won't go away but can be used till they run out.. At least that's how I understood it.

But then again I always ramble incoherently myself...

So is it better for my crazy hoarder toon to bust out his free store-bought amenities before, or after they become obsolete?

You could just plant one each year on the old amenity memorial day..

Just.. Don't expect to be celebrating that particular day for long :p

What he meant is that after U22 all your old ship amenities will still be here. They all will be tucked at the bottom of the ship.

Now the old system is being phased out, so it's going to be like the old Epic Augment. You won't be able to buy them anymore.

Yup. That's it... At least for the update.

This. They will still be there until they run out. If you have some in your inventories/banks you will be able to put them in at a later date ( in that reserved space for old amenities ).

The new amenities in the end will replace the old ones. All the amenities that are actually available are available as a new amenity ( either in a hold or as a stateroom ). So the replacement should go smoothly.

The only change of importance is the Resist Shrines that now gives a stacking percentage ( that varies with level ) instead of a fixed non stacking value ( that was fixed ).

Yeegads.  Stacking %.  What are the chances of them cocking that up......

How are they going to go from an absolute value to a %?  Curious to see the math on that.
% of what? Will it become like absorption?
Does that mean they are changing the spells and items too?

Spells and Items do not change. Only the Shrines.

And how they are doing it : Old amenities are old Amenities, new Amenities are New amenities...

While you have both you can benefit from both.  Roll Eyes

This will surely renew player interest in the game. If it's two things that keep me from playing DDO. It's lack of swashbucklers, and new airships.

I like swashy, damn it.
As for the new buffs, from what ive seen and messed with, its a good change.

I'd suggest shorter odds than that - you're being very generous there.

My guess is to stock on the (old) greater resists. Seems like you crazy hoarder types can use the (recently created from the anniversary card event) free accounts to stock YEARS worth of OP resists. Cheesy
(And by "you crazy hoarder types" I mean ME)

We are gonna fill mules full of old resist shrines. Then scoff as we run around with 60 resist. And then the people with 73 orb bonus will have 133.

The new shrines will be level based (if I'm reading that right) so a 30 resist on a low level toon will still be powerful to have.

I wonder if it will be character level based or Guild level.  Probably the former, but the latter seems interesting.

I don't see much reason to stock resist shrines since the bonus is the same as good old resist spell (well, unless you are dealing with dispelling mobs, but still...)

But I wonder what other of the current existing ship bonuses won't be avaliable, and will be worth stocking. Anywhere we can see what new stuff is avaliable on lam? can't get my client to work

How do you cast Resist 30 at L1 then? IIRC even the 20 pots are ML6.
