Uurlock posted some of the items. 

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/466014-Unofficial-New-Mabar-(BETA)-ite...)

I just have to say... WTF?  The last thing we need are more tedious clickies, especially ones that require armor swaps.

And +6 ability stacking seasonal augments...?  Undecided

If those augments do stack and don't expire after the event, they're basically must-haves.

Ok, why is Spurlock posting these things and not a dev?

Wow flaming sphere on a broom!  If only the spell worked...
And Faerie Fire!!!  Players for years have been calling for more faerie fire on clickies.  It's a shame it only 3 charges - I need so many more. I'd carry an inventory full of them, but they're so powerful that they are Exclusive.    Sad

More clickie crap to carry around when players don't have enough space.

Be interesting to see if those augments stack.  They should, but Turdbine.
God knows we have enough spare slots waiting for something useful.
Hopefully they do all the stats too....

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

It's been always this way.

Like 'Heya folks, here you have a super duper official thread where you can post the feedback (we are not interested in) on the new items. But first you have to download the Lamannia client and spend two hours logging in to see what it is, you fuckers. Bwhahaha!!!'

Seriously, they can't take 20 minutes to screenshot the items and post it in the thread. And they wonder why they are called unprofessional monkeys. Little improvements like this mean a lot ffs. When they will realize it.

Even at +2 those stacking augments still have some use. Not as outlandish as the +6 would be, of course.

No, I just think they think they're clever enough to code things to expire and WAI.
Like it's ever happened before.
Pretty sure the usual methods will work to bypass their ineptitude on 31 Dec 2015.

WTF is a 'spooky' bonus?  I mean, I get that it's supposed to go with the whole Halloween theme and all but aren't there supposed to be rules or something about just creating any bonus, giving it a name, and then saying it stacks with other bonuses?  And if there are rules, who is the person not enforcing them?  Was that Severance_pay?  Are there no rules now?

Spooky.

+2 stacking stats is still worth a slot, especially since most all gear comes with slots now days.  A decent portion come with 2 slots.

Spooky.

It starts to get stupid to be honest. Exceptional, insightful, quality, competence, spooky and so on. It is like having bazillion ingredients in this game knowing that the majority is useless and the rest is part of some crafting that will be never expanded, only replaced by some new one making the old one outdated and useless too. Or like in the case of old Mabar completly screwed over.

If the augments don't expire at EOY.  I'll grind for a few per toon.  Expiring equipment is crap strategy unless they will be re-enabled next year in which case it is just lame.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

I tend to agree with a list like:

Exceptional, Insightful, Quality, Competence, Profane, Alchemical, Mythic, that is enough.  You could cycle through them and offer slowly increasing levels on new gear create an ability for each to gain power at various levels of the game. 

Exceptional:  Starts at +1 at level 20 and gains +1 every 5 levels up to +3 at level 30
Insightful:  Starts at +1 at level 10 and goes up +1 every 5 levels to +5 at level 30
Competence:  Starts at +1 at level 18 and goes up +1 every 6 levels to +3 at level 30
Profane:  Starts at +1 at level 20 and can get to +2 at level 30
Alchem:  Starts at +1 at level 16 and goes up +1 every 7 levels up to +3 at level 30
Mythic:  Starts at +2 at level 24 and goes up +1 every 4 levels to +4 at level 30
Base: +1 to +13- Level gains all fucked up, right now, but go with.  1,3,5,7,9,11,17,19,21,23,25,27,29

7 different type of stat boosts.  6 stats.  That is 42 different types of boosts you can put in gear every few levels.

Then you have tons of options for item bonuses that slowly ramp up and don't necessarily all invalidate each other every few levels or offering the same stat bonus repeatedly at one level.  How many orchard items give +11 dex, for example?.  But, they can't do this because it would require reworking all the gear.   In order to do this, you would need to plan ahead with your loot and have a road map that loot designers were following with an end in mind.  Rather than knee jerk reacting to whatever is the "hot" idea du jour. 

I'm sure there are flaws to my above idea, but I threw that out as a brainstorm in 5 minutes.

Ok just one question that no 1 posed yet: How are you supposed to acquire any of these? Fighting mimix in a challange so u can get an "unstickyify kobold" clickie that allows your kobolds to get out of the inescapable slug?

You have to farm something?

Or buy access tokens from ddo store and p2win moar?

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
