How about now?

Legendary Greensteel. Come on. There has to have been some news!
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Don't get so excited about it, Turdbin is going to ruin it anyways.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

There's info, but no one is going to give it to you now.

Now sit back in your seat and stay on your own side or I swear to God I'll turn this board around and go home.

List all the times a new crafting mechanism was mentioned by the devs. 

Now, for each of those, list the player expectations prior to seeing it on the preview server, player reaction when it went live, it's current state, and the likelihood of it receiving any further attention.

That exercise should be enough to help you stop peeing yourself in anticipation.

The devs have already made up their minds about what it will be.  Speculation (hope) will inevitably lead to disappointment, especially since any perceived criticism from the players (who are not experts, even though we know better than to cast Raise Dead on Soul Stones) will be ignored.

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.

Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things.

Turbine - So incompetent that we are skeptical when they report their own incompetence.

Other companies will settle for shitting out garbage, Turdbin actually prefers to. Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up.

Breaking something and putting it back together isn't as good as not breaking it to begin with, it's not even close.

Devs do not care what players want - they already have an agenda and give out token gestures so the paladins can feel worthy.

The DDO devs aren't motivated by a positive user experience.

Well said.
If you lower your expectations of people, you're less likely to be disappointed.  True in RL too.

Not really... But some things are... Others are not... Making Strake work on the forum always has bad consequences.

the rules are not numerous :

Rule #1 : Do not make Strake work on the forum.
Rule #2 : There is no rule #2

It doesn't matter much one way or the other of they turn out to be ML 30, which is all I'm really concerned with. ETRs are about to get a bit longer, I want my ETR Twink Gear!

But... isn't Strake making Strake work on the Forum by keeping an eye out on the Forum for work for Strake to do?  Huh

This just in!!!!!!

Some Dude Quote:
DEVS: Legendary Greensteel, what is the ML going to be?

A few weeks from release you have to know by now. Is it going to be useful on epic/iconic TRs or just ML30 stuff?


Cordovan Quote:
Level 26.


I honestly would have preferred 24... But it's infinitely better than 30. However, it really does follow suit with Heroic Greensteel. ML 11/12 being just after the halfway point for Heroics. Like how ML 26 will be for Epics.

Holly Shit! NEWS!

I would have preferred ML 20 myself, but at this point any information is information! I like it since it means GS will pick up right where my TF leaves off(I dont have any ML28 TFs)

26 is alright...agree that 24 would have been better (especially now that 24 is more xp) but meh....less bad than Turbine normal. Tongue
