just let it flow in you that it will not happen rather than think it will always happen.

if you think this game is life, you sir need a break outside.

Outside of that quote, it would be completely irrelevant to continue the use of green steel materials even if duping is fixed or not.
This is mainly because it would maintain the exploited materials to relevance making everything easy to obtain and there would be people having these items within hours of the game being updated.


P.S. go to the philosophy forums whenever you mention life, because I don't want to hear what you think about (your) life, because I most certainly think life is fair, and natural selection is a must. And also that each person has their own values and therefore should not be voilated by others. I am a person that believes in abortion and any other human right, such as gay rights(besides transgenders).


You're a crazy person.

You are too much of a Gent Bear,  Those responses were just BS strawmen and he dodged all the real questions thrown. What a total dickhead, this sounds just like his Hamp and barb bullshit, don't be fooled it's not some kind of exchange of ideas for this guy, no this is him just letting us hear him think out loud, mark my words he will take on nothing from anyone else.

The guy is a clueless Cunt.

1) Severlin is officially the new executive producer. He said some things in his letter that might lead one to believe that he isn't so familiar with the actual game. For example, he referred to epic destinies as "epic enhancement trees". This concerns me.
.



It was starting to be obvious that he was the one in charge...

I think he calls them Enhancement Trees, because from behind the scene that's what they are enhancement trees... compare both system, and you'll see that they share a lot
    of mechanics.

If it were ready to publish they would have done it already in 2014 - but held off for a reason that I can only guess at.


Vale was shifted and replaced by Orchard because of Epic Greensteel.
As I already said the issue is how to make it worthy ( after all we are looking at something end game with a high farmability like original Vale/greensteel was ) while not obsoleting both sentient weapons and thunderforged items.

I dont see a feasible way. Epic Greensteel weapons doesnt sound like a good idea. With CitW taking ETR gear, Thunderforged for end game, Sentient for boss beaters, maybe? But then again if theyre just better for bosses most players will keep those on and not bother for Thunderforged anymore. Where does anyone see Epic Greensteel going? Items? Necro 4 beats out everything before it. More items that are better than the Necro items? Cluster fuck of obsoleted begging to happen.

My understanding is that he has less respect or use for the PC than many of us here on the vault as well. While normally I would find that a good indicator... This reported behavior/opinion was couched in the sentiment that Sev has no use for anyone's opinion but his own.

This is not because he knows the game so well (he admits he does not) but because like so many geeks before he feels that no one is as smart as he is, so he is right, all the time.

A interesting side effect of this is that he has been able to advance through turbine of late because his bullheaded rush to pad his resume in blissful ignorance has been misinterpreted by the star chamber lords to in fact be "A refreshing take no prisoners attitude that is going to cut down on development costs and wrap up lose ends in the next year by doing away with perception that the problems are complex "  So, chew on that, then buckle your seat belt because the next few months will be a bumpy ride.

I think the best we can hope for is that he able to convince a larger more successful company that he is "switched on" and some kind of fixer of mythical proportions so he gets hired out of Turbine before he does to much damage.

Anyone else out there ever have the misfortune of talking with him? Total retard. Not quite as exasperating as the Fat one, but in the end he will happily do way more damage to the game then Jerry ever could.

I also don't feel a need for new items much.
I at least hope that the new ones will also be BtA like epic Necro4 items.

For an old game, I am happy with anything they bring into the game at this point.  As much as I think it will fall short of expectations, at least it sucks less than finding a new game with a comparable combat system that can hold my interest longer than a weekend.

To make em unique augments on which you can craft personally as proposed by teh_troll long ime ago actually wouldnt be a bad idea if not for the fact that it would be so fucking overpowered imo

from +8 to +11 in one update? am i missing something? +10s were avaiable from time of shadowfail.



and imho the way for egreensteel could be just make gs epic: epic base dmg (maybe enh bonus scaled by tier +5/+7/+10) better tiers of old dmg types - like holy III-VI etc and mybe bit upgraded tier 3 abilities. i d like to see radiance again on something more useful than random trash loot. and similar way to just adjust abilities on non weapon equipment.

The best idea I have seen so far is to make them into Augments.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/441880-Trollerific-Suggetion-for-Epic-...
Quote:
Once in a while I feel charitable, today I will share my latest brilliant idea with you mammals free of charge.

Okay . . . we all want Epic Shroud with Epic Green Steel.

BUT . . . Turbine just released a new pack with two raid with craftable weapons. If Turbine did make Epic Green Steel they would either need to make it weaker than Thunderforged, in which case nobody would bother, or stronger which would invalidate the Thunderforged content. One way or another BOTH options are bad.

Where Turbine has gone horribly wrong since MOTU is loot isn't worth the pixels it's printed on since almost everything gets invalidated and update or two later or was complete garbage in the first place. Every update makes the end-game smaller instead of larger, this is a terrible way to do this.

The 'old' Turbine didn't do this. Pre-MoTU people were still running Titan, Reaver, VOD, HoX, etc . . . for loot because though newer loot was available the old raids still had stuff worth pursuing. Even LoB didn't invalidate Green Steel, it's added to the game instead of making it smaller.

The last thing the game needs right now is to be made smaller . . . so how do you add Epic Green Steel to the game without making the loot that came before it worthless?

The answer is Green Steel AUGMENTS and not items. Instead of making a Epic Lightning II Khopesh you'd make a Epic Lightning II Red Crystal that would add the Holy/shock/shock/Lightning Strike to whatever weapons you slot it in.

Same with items . . . Blue or yellow Crystals. Slot Con-op into a slot on one of your other items.

This solution will give people something to grind for WITHOUT INVALIDATING ANY OTHER CONTENT. Makes the game larger, not smaller.

So there it is mammals. I have many other brilliant ideas that can save DDO but the rest aren't free. But as always, my rates are reasonable.


Unfortunately, the idea has not seem to have taken off with the devs

They went from +8 to +11 with Shadowfail.

And yes it ruined part the game.

As always. They are so stupid thats not even funny.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly
