I doubt that.  The cinnamon doesn't expressly state that it bypasses dodge cap, so we must assume it doesn't.  For most people this would provide a few points of dodge if any.  You also have to remember it's programmed by turbine, so if you find yourself with a dodge cap of 22 and are currently sitting at 20 dodge and have 2 ranks in listen, you might eat this and find you have just as much chance of coming out the other side with a dodge rate of 2 as you do 22.

I think we should stop calling this 'New Mabar' at this point and call it 'Not Mabar' instead, because I'm pretty sure that's what we're getting.

Wow, is mabar supposed to be the thing that is good in this comparison?

To take this conversation in a different direction...

If that  Witch's hat looks like the Elminster hat,or that broom looks like  an actual broom, I'm all in.

Fuck the rest of that junk.

I liked Mabar, I don't buy tomes and was cool to see some people from the server you'd almost never see otherwise.
Didn't like the leashing of mobs and lag obviously.

The only saving grace that not mabar had to me was the prospect of farming old mabar items like the cloak of night without having to resort to abusing my sanity with mimics.  It's looking a lot like the old mabar stuff isn't going to be in night revels, and this leaves me with the terrifying conclusion that they're going to do more mimic hunts.

I hated the mimic hunt.  A new mabar was supposed to stop this shit from happening.

Vargouille trying to justify their decisions. A bit of the advice: don't try that hard next time, you are starting to sound bitter. Actually almost giving the impression of being butthurt  Roll Eyes

Still, i'm not sure i wouldn't like it better if they were just reasonably expensive normal potions. I guess it does make the items dupe proof to some degree.

There's no justification, Maban was a technical fail.

They should have just cut the instance ( made it only 2 altars ) and made it a raid instance.
( that way people from the same group ended in the same instance )... and they should have made a queing mechanism for hte instance creation...
so that all the dragon instances don't open at the same time...

But you know Turbine... why do it the easy way when there's a tough and complex way to do it.

So we get a new thingie, that will include challenges and stupid loot ( hoperfully along the old Maban loot ) and yet another set of fucking ingredients to clutter yet 5 or more slots of inventory bag.

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.

This, so much this. I'm really sick of shitty ingredients filling my bags and had to devolve 2 large green just to gather fucking ingredients I will barely use in a year.

Now another fail event is gonna butcher our nuts just to get that couple of  decent items lost in a gigantic pile of smoking shit

The idea is probably throwing a bone to all 5 clerics and wizards on the server.
But it's idiotic approach. Higher DCs makes even MORE older content trivial.
Because Amrath with 90 fort saves - autosave for mobs, and Devil's Gambit with 50 totally makes sense.

Sorry there's something wrong in your statement...
They definitely do not know this game. If they knew it they could fix obvious broken things.

The most obvious reason is that they do not want to go back and fix old broken things in what has been termed as the Spaghetti Code. They only come near post Shadowfail Code ( and some post MoTU code ). And specifically, as an example, they are not going to come near the Loot Table and fix the Great Ghostbanning of Loot. ( the current alibi is that they can't roll it back, last year it was that they didn't have time or that loot tables were so broken that mucking into them was going to break something else )

I could also use the String Table Errors as an example.... Last year several PC members had a long talk about them with Steel and Varg...

Upon discussing my relatively new son's first xmas, a friend told me a trick they'd been taught by another parent; take away their favourite toy a while before xmas and wrap it up as a present. They'll thank you for finding it.

I think Turbine knows my friend too.

More like +1 damage from KTA, as wizards are still terrible.

The augments are useful for a few characters, so i'll get some of those.  Not going to mess with anything getting any items that expire or create a flaming sphere.  It will be a limited run event for me.

This feels like an event more aimed at the casual/less experienced player.  If that's the case, I'm not surprised the Vault community isn't too excited.  Most of the posters here are(or were) more advanced players than that.

I like events, but this one doesn't really move the needle much.
