Based on player feedback we are implementing some experience changes.

~ The Flawless bonus to experience now only counts your character's deaths instead of the entire party. This means if you invite someone less familiar with the content to your group and they die you won't lose your XP bonus unless you also die.

~ Henchman deaths no longer reduce the flawless XP penalty.

~ There is now an NPC in the Hall of Heroes that will suppress your Bravery Streak and associated bonuses. While suppressed you can go off and do content on lower difficulties without ruining your streak. This allows you to group with friends, or join pick up groups, or even do new content on lower difficulty settings without ruining your bravery streak. Note that while suppressed bravery streaks are not ended, but you don't get associated bravery bonuses.

We also have some special events coming up to reward grouping.

~ We are working on an additional DDO bonus days event that will award a percentage bonus on completion XP for each additional person in your dungeon group. This will not affect raids.

They should have put the bravery suppression NPC in a lot more places, and made it a Air-ship option. 

Severlin: There are technical reasons for the bravery suppression to be tied to an NPC.

I brought up concerns with the team about convenience, and we are planning to also add the NPC to guild airships.

Severlin: Ideally he'd be standing top deck next to the buff device.

...They have actually done a good thing here.

The bonus for more players in the group will lead to some SERIOUS multi-boxing.  People may not group so much as just create 5 F2P accounts and park them at the door.   

Sev,


I didn't say so before... this news came as a very pleasant surprise to me, and I forgot to elaborate before...


But, from the bottom of my heart - thank you. Thank you for listening to the community, and taking steps to improve the game based on what we have to say. It may seem like a little thing, but it is anything but. It's huge, and this post has done more to restore my faith in the Dev team then any other news in years. We spoke, and you not only listened - you acted. I'm just sorry I was late in expressing this.


Thank you.

Jesus Memnir.  wipe the cum off your lips.  you're slobbing Sev's knob for changes that will affect almost no one and are years too late to do any good.  none of this will boost LFMs significantly.  just look at the thread responses. 

here's what will happen.  no significant increase in LFMs or PUGs.  a HUGE increase in multi-boxing as soloers and duoers door sit with their alts.

Sev is trying to throw a meaningless token bone to the unwashed masses who are too ignorant to understand who is playing.  apparently your loooong break has turned you are one of those.  christ.




and that GIF.    now I have to drink a jigger of rum just to wash the taste of reverse peristalsis from my mouth.

A. no one with a clue about how DDO math works gives a flying fuck about the 10% flawless bonus. 

2. the reason they say they are changing it is a fantasy.  it will not promote more LFMing.

III. the BB delay?  who the fuck who can play this game is going to stop elite streaking to slow down and play with rando PUGs?  ROFL.

FIFE.  the bonus for moar grouping?  guess we can all use those alts we made for free j-cube pets to multi-box now. 


the changes are good for me.  more xp is always good.  the REASON behind the changes is a fucking farce.  good players will get even more xp for NOT grouping.  LOL.

More options = good.

Get over it.
