By the numbers, it's being run slightly more now than it was before U26, though it's contending with Crystal Cove right now (which is being played more than anything else at the moment). Setting aside Crystal Cove and Wilderness Areas (lookin' at you, Korthos and Gianthold), TOEE Part 1 is still being played more than any other content, and Part 2 is within the top ten.

They’re not measuring how many people actually complete the quest.

Isn't that like a president bragging that their ratings are almost as good as Nixons?

I must be one of the odd few that have never ran ToEE. Just have not had any interest nor ambition to even figure out where the quest is.
The shit named loot turned me off from the quest before it even started.

And this is part of their problem.
Whatever metrics they are looking at, they probably consider TOEE a "success" because it is run by more people than the 6(?) yr old Cove event!  Back massages and PacMan LARP for all!

Turdbine: Setting the bar for success lower each and every day!

Or people have run all the other content to death and this is the only new thing to do?  Success by default?

1000 ToEE loading screens loaded...entered, farmed, recalled, yet no Finish Outs.

How many "finish outs" are we talking about?
Since they won't respond here I wonder if they can and/or do track that.

You could have loaded a video on youtube to make things even easier for them. Just farm the goddamn chest and keep the free loot  Roll Eyes

Or they just aren't going to come out and say publicly that their newest content sucks and even the XP revamps didn't help?

And if you're not going to tell the truth, might as well ramp it up as we have no way of proving them wrong.

Couple of people posted this very thought on that thread today, but they were pulled within 15-20 mins, I saw it happen three times.

I joyfully admit I have no idea where the quest entrance is. I saw the loot, and never bothered to entertain the notion of its existence.

Well, actually, it's *nearly* as popular.  Good job Turbine.  You created an adventure based on a renowned PnP module and can't get people to play it more than a six year old event. 

Yay.

I am convinced that they may have not noticed what they did. It's not the first time (chest in servants used to farm seals?). They are stupid but don't give them too many advices for free.......

It's bad for them Tongue

Actually you got it wrong DB :
The 6 year old shit called Cove is still run more than anything else when it's there... Then ToEE Part 1 is the most run thingie.
I suspect their metric is something like number of instances spawned/day or something like that, and I just see quite a few way to screw it...
( I just can't imagine that that many people complete ToEE part 1, so their metric can't be quest completion )

If that was a metric that they looked at, then it wouldn't have taken them 2 years to figure out people were scripting The Crucible.

If you read one of the PC leaked threads, the one about the "one bug fix", you will see that it was brought to their attention around March of this year.

And sadly, this is justification both for not updating Cove loot (we don't have to, still the most popular) and for pushing out more crap like ToEE (It's mostly popular).
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

It's weird I got sucked into grinding a bit for ToEE loot, more habit than anything else, because except for the expanded crit profiles on some of the heroic items there is not really any point. After I finally pulled the bow and a few other things I was like: "why am I still in here? my TF gear is so much better than this crap".

I call it the megaman complex, it's not really rewarding but you want to see the split screen scene anyway, so you keep at it way longer than you should, and feel like a dork when you're done.

I want to hate it, but I like the end fights of both parts ( well except the retarded either/or EQ ) and some rare fights.
And champion bats you just fucking can't hit.
And invisible champ stalkers and air ellies.
Seen some tomes drops too, not for me of course.

So that means i`ll prolly have to do a raid that i am going to fight a Gigantic Ghaele with my Black Warlock Testicles and flinging my fiery poop to it?

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

As the number 1 in most of the Leader Board of house C challenges i don`t want to get near torches anymore.

If you gathered everything the legit way from previous CC events your will to run them again got sucked by Jack Jibber and if someone gave you a bag of goodies you dont need to run it so....

Puggers on the other hand still have fun on events like this with the LFM scene being so low especially during Euro daytime.
