We knows, they knows and that's why I have doubt on the impact we had...
They were probably already leaning heavilly towards BtA when we chimed in, and we just pushed them over the edge.

In all honesty, the only thingin game that I can reasonably tie to my PC membership is the name of the Rune Arm in 3BC :  St Murray's Fire.

When it was first suggested in the Pc it was nameless and we were asked to help name it if we had ideas... To keep in the theme I suggested St Elmo Fire.
At the next update we had a name on that runearm : St Murray's Fire. ( note : I wasn't the only one making suggestions for the name )

All the rest is pure speculation, since beside some power suggestions in items we have no clue of the impact we had.

But yes, some of us wanted BtA loot for Orchard... We got BtA loot.

Honestly BtAoE would really be the best of all world, but it doesn't seem to be on the plate. Also Difficulty Tiered loot with a way to upgrade would be nice... but it's also not on the plate as far as I can tell. it would make everybody happy ( those that pass down to other toons their loot and those that like to sell stuff ).

As I stated numerous time the current crop of devs is more interested in padding the resume with lasting system changes than making small fixes or small changes that can't valued in a resume.

- bta kills the asah
- so less profit for our game, retard
- those quests are boring, so more people quit, retard
- once people get their gear, they stop running this stuff, retard

And tiered loot is gone, probably forever.

Yea, s/s/s would be great if you could exchange 3:1 seal for seal, shard for shard, scroll of scroll, and make them all not bound.

It went the way of the Dodo when Plume de Soleil left... since it was one of his own personal resume padding system change.


(AOL) Me Too.

that's something that has been said by several PC members too... several month ago... But Devs are in their trip to make more lasting system changes that are good on a resume instead of doing tiny things like that... Extended an already existing system so that it encompass all that kind of item and chancing the binding status of 2/3rd of said items doesn't show well on a resume... While Created the crafting system for the new endgame content introduced in Update 21, along with all the formulas and ingredients looks way better.

( and I'm not even starting on the spaghetti thingie The Kobold That Jumped Ship talked about that makes devs reluctant to dig into old DDO code )

It's some crazy tossed together mishmash of crafting systems, most of which only have one item worth crafting now, all of which are bizarre and annoying to learn, and all of which are endangered by the next update.

Maybe a saga when they make necro 1-3 epic

Necro 1 lvl 20-21 easy like house p
Necro 2 lvl 22-23 like sschindylryn/demonweb
Necro 3 lvl 24-25 like gianthold

Did they ask your (plural) opinion about thunderforged before releasing to public?
Or do they simply not care to ask about your opinion?

The answer is obvious in how I wrote the line you quoted.

Flav, wouldn't "Combined the 4,011 crafting systems in DDO to one single seamless comprehensible system" look good on a dev resume?

Do you know how much time that would take?
Its easier to implement something new than to combine 321 crafting systems into one.

Actually no, it was one of the request from the PC for the Orchard Items.

They might have thought about it too... but several people in the PC ( me included ) asked for items to be BTA and not BTCoE or other kind of BtC.
It had nothing to do with AS duping and everything to do with Inventory Management... We can pass along to another toon a BtA item while a BtCoE item gives us only the option to sell it once we don't need it anymore...
