Anyone else feel like the event loot from U30

comes off as a fucking whiny and petulant? Thick Skin? No Worries?

Cry a fucking river you whiny pieces of shit. Release some fucking decent content and you don't need to stop worrying about what we're saying and have a thick skin. This event is a piece of shit, what the fuck were you even thinking? Lets set aside the ridiculous gnome bullshit, and focus on your bullshit event. So you run in and kill five red named mobs and that's it? You literally put zero event into this bullshit. Go fuck yourself.

Happy 10th, at this rate I'd be surprised if you have 3 years left.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Uhh, and the ooze beater does extra damage on crits.. ONLY THAT OOZES ARE IMMUNE TO CRITICAL HITS. (Well before armor piercing anyway, someone was not playing the game again, he?)

No Worries was called Constructive Criticism on Lamannia.  They changed it after people complained.  Unfortunately they completely missed that people were "complaining" because the item names made the devs sound like douchebags.

On crit effects typically don't care if your target has fortification. You just don't get your critical multiplier.

The boots, I think, are a decent item.  I could care less what they name the stuff or what the flavor descriptions are.  The gloves seem kinda odd and the armor is weak AF.  Usefulness in a build is all that matters to me. 

The Broccoli Club is a decent ooze weapon.

Lets face it this "Birthday" celebration is a big Dev Fuck you to all of us for exploiting the cards they did for last year's event. They built people's expectations and then dump this pile of crap on us.

Since they finally give us Gnomes they make both the regular race and the iconic 1295 TP just to grab what cash they can as well.

Truth be told the only good thing I saw in this update was finally the individual volume slider. Now if only they would dump their shit ass Gamespy chat client and move to something like Mumble or Teamspeak for their infrastructure we could actually be good but I guess I will take what I can get.

They put out a system, the community exploited the living hell out of it.  They aren't going to run it back out there and have it get exploited again.  That's a "fuck you"?  If they did run the card event back out there, I'd question their sanity.  And commitment to the game.  That'd be the "lazy, who gives a fuck about the economy or the longevity of the game" play, imo. 

I liked the stuff we got from cards a lot better than this new stuff but unless they want to invest the dev time to plug the holes and exploits, I'd expected them to do something different.  They should know by now that giving the player base tradeable things that go into bags is probably going to end poorly.

The card system was good and popular before it got broken and duped.
As people have said, it had useful items that didn't break the game.
Maybe they could do something outrageous like fix it?  Or they could spend that time on some lame event and stupid self named items that everyone, including your self, considers pointless?

There are a few things I could think of that would nullify any exploit and make the system useable again without even touching the code significantly.

Is it intentional that all the Dev Item Favor Loot is "broken"?

Cuz you know... It's not. OK, but not OP. Might pick up that sickle for lowbie levelling.

The ooze beater is a lame poke at the ridiculous "Creeping Death Slime Grind."

Admittedly, the hand-ins were nice, especially since they included the others raids nobody plays anymore.

Some of that Titan loot was pretty sick at level. Even now it stands up well.

My main will finally gonna get that Litany... Grin

Edit: Is any of this stuff good-looking enough to Glamer? Cuz that's like, 99% of my decision making on it...

It was even bitchier than that... It was called "Constant Criticism."

They have a loyal fan-base trying to help them not fail at their jobs and this is how they fire back.

Fucking Babies.

Peter Principle in action, folks.

For glamering Twinblade and  Chaosblade are good looking. Red Helmis too but everyone and their dog will have one. Other than that not much glamer material.

Load screen says that more stuff including cosmetics will be added later,you may want to wait.

(Hopefully they wont be so obtuse and make the cosmetics bta so we can get  a  few)

Worst update ever.
Loot is meh and the challenge is ridiculously easy.

I definitely agree that this feels like a kick in the teeth and it smacks of a company that is winding down and ready to give up.

I feel like the event in general is pitiful. "DDO here to mark its 10th anniversary by tossing out huge piles of shit at its players."

And the event itself is shit easy, I single manned it last night by accident, trying out some gear variations.  Seems exactly the same as it was during lamma where everyone pointed out how easy it was.

The player population was up for a brief moment yesterday, then died off and now it's creeping more and more into a slow crawl. I think they players have had enough. Legendary greensteel, the 3 shit quest packs with shit seasonal event rehashes, the horrible implementation of balancing with the random gen loot on top of the new prevailing politics within DDO has alienated many vets while paving the way for the DDO fanboi club.

The anniversary event was successful in driving away many players like myself that keep questioning "why did I come back?" Now many more will be telling themselves and others

'See that there? It USED to be great. Just remember it when it was good. Look but don't touch or you will be sorely disappointed. Turn around and just don't look back.'
