They seem to think people had fun figuring out the GS combos, back in the day.

1) Maybe some folks did enjoy unraveling the GS combos. They don't fucking want to do it now.

2) If the principle could apply at all, it would need a new loot list.

3) Implementing a "discover the combo" for an old loot list = Multiplying the cost of old loot.

4) "Fuck you, players; we hate your fucking guts and desperately hope that you stop playing our game."


I wasn't playing when GS first came out, but when I heard how it had to be discovered with rare/hard to obtain components, I'm surprised there wasn't more backlash.
I guess more players shared the burden back then, but that tiered system and so many permutations - must have sucked!   Huh

It's just not a very good approach because the "mystery" is only temporary and it means players end up with something not useful to them.
Ok if you can sell it like GS blanks, but once you start adding enchantments and start sterilizing base items - no thanks.

See, its all this "Random reward is FUN!" that is my chief grip with DDO.

I like crafting. I like knowing that "If I combine these essences with this item I will get this effect" every damn time. Sure, there is randomness in the mat drops, but the whole certainty of it make it much more pleasant than "Pull shit out of chest, see if its good, throw it away."

What would your opinion of random drops be? In terms of "Loot-Gen stuff you've pulled out of chests", how many in how man items are any good? 1 in 10? 1 in 20?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

So Lamannia went down a few minutes ago.

Ddo Wiki has just 3 entries and all 3 of them are for Robes of Shadow

The devs spawned Swords of Shadows Spellstoring rings BUT NO FUCKING MOTES to test their event.

And Jerry was the only Dev on in these 2,5 days and for the period the Stream Lasted

People tried weird builds and i kited the Mimic chest from the treasure room to the XP NPC and trainers to Grief and kill lvl 1 TRs that tried to cap fast.

The event will come as it was planned months ago

Devs wont take any of our recommendations since recoding stuff is hard

People will die in Grotto or at least wont be able to finish it for a few minutes

Griefers will have a blast opening chests will Mimic bait and wipe parties after the end fight with the zero SP caster crying

Overall Great success!

Nice summation.
That sounds about par for the course.    Grin

All that negative feedback will hurt some devs feeling on their pet project, so it will be ignored.  Because the devs know what is fun, we're just ungrateful customers right?   Huh

Now that would be great... It would be a good reminder of the time when Euphonia's Challenges killed very bad builds before they even reached Stormreach.

Nah its more of an annoyance than anything else and unavoidable for most classes.

I got rekt on a completionist barbarian (CON isn`t a dump stat) maybe if i remembered about it i would be more cautious but new comers are fucked Cheesy

Different game with different players from a different generation.

You grow up playing games like Zeld, yeah you learn to love figuring stuff out, or you go fucking play outside lol. I.e. I am like 7 throw a tantrum and my mother says, "go play outside!" Of course when I was 7 we are talking atari but...

Now you have kids that grew up playing the instant gratification games where absolutely fucking everything is spelled out for them.

Just the sign of the times, and unless you can get The Doctor you give you a lift you just have to learn to deal, and not choke people.

Can you actually die in the grotto?  Celimas casts that spell on you.

I can't decide if getting killed by a mimic in the grotto would be awesome or horrible.

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

all the forum bitching about the skull and pumpkin bombs.  can't wait to see the bitching about mimic bait.  would Turban even punish a player for using a store item in quest?

You cant die exactly but you can get incap`ed again and again and again (the wont be able to finish it for a few minutes part)

People ingame are whinning little bitches i`ve been reported for less things like

Pulling 2 rooms raise red alert and killing everything while the party dies from the first 3 mobs in the quest

Zerging (because we want it nice and slow....)

Not giving people more than 2 minutes after i call voices

Sharing 100 quests when the quest giver is outside the quest

Rez people with Animate Dead on my necro and standing next to them with Death Aura

that would be awesome but the mimics have got to scale to the dungeons and the other NPCs would probably end up killing it while the player is incapped on the ground.


would make a great video.  maybe Cletus can make one and post something worthwhile for a change.

3 years ago a tripletionist would be respected by all for the time it took him to achieve that.

Nowdays every tard has a completionist/tripletionist as long he had access to some info.

The sad point though is even though they have all the shinnies from all these lives and ran these quests hundreds of times most of them are mediocre players at best.

TR zombies without any other skill other than knowning the path to the fastest cap.Leave them 3 days at lvl 28 and they are running around like headless chickens.

About bitching from players enforcing their pace though, when MotuD hit Lamannia i burned out learning every single quest.

2 days later Shade came with his Crusshhhhhhhhh it slaves,joined the group took them to the forest quests told them where is what and what to expect and the Retard Canadian after being degraded to a second fiddle said these amazing lines

"If you dont want to follow my rythm you should better get out of this party before i kick you"

Shocked

If i had to choose between the egomaniacs and PC douchebags we have atm i would vote SHADE AXER CRUSH IT hands down,because he had the WHOLE PACKAGE.

The failed math formulas,the mad typing that made my eyes bleed,the perfect party formula aka 1 caster 1 bard 2 clerics and a barb to babysit.

Those were trully the days
