It seems they could do changelings with very little effort, too. I think that would be a hit. I wouldn't mind that we still don't have a + Wis race if they did Changelings. Even if they got shit enhancements, people would love them for the cosmetic aspect.

I don't mind the inclusion of new races and classes; it all adds to the depth.   However, new quests are by far more important.   They just need to make sure they put a lid on the power creep, a bit.

Mark of Death gave some easily farmed, great gear.  Probably too much great gear for a relative ease to acquire.  New gear now would have to be on par with that sort of gear.  Knowing Turbine, though, they'll just release something generic with high enhancements so everyone rushes to get the pack and farms it out in an afternoon...

Ah well :p.

I'm going to go with Not_Drop on this after some thought, and I guess the Motherboard ranter as well it seems.

Skip the Gnomes, and kick out some decent Iconics and entirely new content.

Your right, might have well hoped for the sun to rise in the west.

Too true, it did the same to Thunderholme as well.

I disagree. A fun raid will get played because it is fun.

Turbine has just made us forget what fun is, and in vain we tried to fill in the void with dups.

hehe, I can't watch it. I have had run-ins with him before. On a good note, there isn't much suffering left for ddo. Time is ticking for sev to pad resume before ip renewal time.

He just has no clue, it's amazing to see it so clearly. No wonder they had to cajole him into the screen at the beginning, the fucker knows he is transparent.

I suppose I wasn't really communicating at all.  You know, in any way.  I get the need for phat lootz(tm).  It's the only way to appeal to a certain demographic. 

They should still be looking to make the raid fun, though.  Take Tempest's Spine, for example.  I would play that raid any day of the week, regardless of the loot.  Genuinely think it's a fun  raid.  A raid should *feel* epic.  Not by introducing difficult scenarios (although they're not unwelcome) but by giving it some flavour and excitement. 

Deathwyrm had a cool-looking climax battle, but the majority of the raid was dull as far as I'm concerned.  Nobody likes to rely on luck (phylacteries...) to get a decent completion.  Similar can be said of Thunder Peaks.  It *looked* cool, and in theory was.  But it was essentially one room with two big mobs to beat down and a metric fuck tonne of trash.

I feel they did try with Deathwyrm, but it just feels like a hassle more than anything to run.  Fighting a Stormgiant on top of a peak with the fear of getting thrown to the winds is fun...and there's really nothing great to loot.  I feel I've rambled too long.

More importantly, I've ran out of gin.

Oh wait let us guess... your hinting because you know something about it but you can't say right?

annoying cunt.

I know that it was tried on Mournland too. 

That's why they will keep going after it even when we get them to backpedal everytime, Killing Displacement ( more ) is giving them a hard on.
They have already nerfed the spell/SLA ( once to make the spell self, second time to make the SLA self )... and they killed getting new clickies with Plume de Soleil help.
( unless you know where to look for them... as we all know here [ if you don't PM Epoch ] )

He's the voice of the people!  I love how he clamors about how 'arrogant' and 'abusive' Sev in particular is.  Working off of the assumption that he knows exactly what goes on at Turbine HQ.  Just because Sev is leading the development there, doesn't necessarily mean he's calling the shots.   

Turbine owes us nothing at all.  We don't owe them anything either.  A more symbiotic relationship could benefit things, sure, but to act as if we're entitled by any means is laughable.  Bless him.
