Just fuck off, Enervayjay. Necrospamming fucktard.

I would love that too… But I doubt it will happen until DDO goes to maintenance and the player base gets a hold of the dev-tools/ base code to un-fuck Turbine's mess.

Pool of Radiance and Secret of the Silver Blades… Oh the possibilities…  *sigh*

I would say it's just too fucking long. They should have broke that shit up a bit more than they did.

They could have made each temple a quest in itself - with features/mechanics appropriate.  By breaking it up, you make the quest small and specialised to a few encounters.  Quality - not quantity.
This was an opportunity lost.
Haven't given it much thought, but the following quickly come to mind.

Some underwater content for the Water element zone?
Mobs appropriate to that element. 
Sahuagin, merfolk, Elementals, giant squid/octopus or even some water related aberrations like the Aboleth.  That could be a nice challenge.
Instead we get a big gelatinous cube and some water eles.  Wow.

Or how about the air element temple being truly 3 dimensional and requiring flying between eeries like in the Reaver zone.  The mechanics exist.  Use variable gravity, even make up/down change like in Deathwyrm.  All the mechanics exist.

Or the fire elemental temple being perpetual fire (shallow lava floors with random deep pockets) and doing constant background damage.
Fire creatures are well covered in other content.

Earth would be a series of carved tunnels - I would use complex shapes of up/down left right to make visibility limited (instead of fracking doors every 5metres).
Have surprise encounters as earth creatures emerge from walls/floors/ceilings (like in the Doomsphere quest in Orchard) where the zombies emerge from the floor.

Le Sigh.

I just hope this crew DOES NOT touch any more content and destroy it like TOEE.

Agreed.  I've never played ToEE in pnp nor did I ever play HH.  I really liked HH but thought ToEE was
boring as hell.  I mean, when you can't even be bothered to get to the end of a quest you've never played before, the writing is on the wall.

yeah TOEEE has as much reply value as searing heights.

WTH, a Gundam game !!

It was a whole lot of empty, with a touch of instant red alert encounters.

Classic run it once and never look back.

Loved dying from massive lag because a few hundred orcs decided to spawn in one spot.

I quite liked it.  Ran EN with two friends.  Took... I don't know, five hours?  Six?  Explored every room, destroyed every vase.

Not sure I'd run it again a whole lot - I hate farming at the best of times, and this loot is garbage.  XP isn't good enough to demand it (I hate Spies too, but...), and the levels are stupid.  This should be 16, not 7.

Anyway, it sort of felt like baseball - you're not really there for the game.  We were just hanging out and drinking and chatting, while killing shit in the background.  The way fun should be.

They could have, but then that would have been just as stupid as what they ended up doing.

ToEE was for character levels 1-8. They should have turned Hommlet into a new starter area, included a slayer area up to Nulb, with the first part of the adventure being the moathouse. Incorporate the NPCs, maybe some side quests related to them, while dropping story hints about the Temple.

The temple itself shouldn't have been that hard to convert, it's all right there on fucking paper. Yes, it's huge, but you're supposed to be able to shut yourselves up in a room to rest and heal if necessary. They should have included ways to brace doors, and have temp shrines (like those in DA). If you use x shrines in a certain amount of time, temple reinforcements spawn. They should have also turned off DA for it.

This whole area should level a character from 1 to 8 or 10 thereabouts.

But they didn't do any of that. They made one big, boring dungeon with shit loot (ignoring most of the loot from the original) and a shitty, unnecessary crafting system. It pretty much killed any desire I had for them to convert any other old modules or settings. They'll just fuck it up.

Well the RX-78 ( I had to dig up the model ) with the shield and laser sword  in front is Obvious...

I have two friends that are Complete Gundam Nuts.
( buying models ordered from japan every time a new one comes out and he can afford it, and the other can give you the model of a Gundam [ along with the pilot and the anime serie it came from ] just by looking at a leg or an arm  )

and in case you wonder... yes one of them was a Mechwarrior/Battletech GameMaster...
