Hmm. And I bought warlock like a couple of months ago on my alt at -35% dayum.

Anyway, if anyone interested, there is 50% off on:
All iconix but deep gnome (how conveniant) and
FVS, ART, DRD, WLK, MNK.

The wlk is a relatively good deal for newbies now that I think of it.

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.

I haven't ever looked into this or tried (never had the need), but is there a way to transfer shards from one character to another (legitimately)?  (without going through Shard AH)

So: roll account, claim shards, buy item for 10AS from main via ASAH, repeat?

I wonder if anyone can be arsed at this point in the game's life? Getting enough email addresses would probably be more trouble than the AS are worth.

Well running grotto on new accounts is a tough sell for the 10 AS minus ASAH rape fee.

You don't need to use a real email address, there is no verification, just use different ones. Here is one for you: knnisafagg@yahoo.com

Do you even have to run grotto? ASAH is accessible anywhere, as is store. Seems like you should be able to just step out of character creation and get 'er done.

You can't use the ASAH on a free account.  Have to be sub or premium.

The wlk is a relatively good deal for newbies now that I think of it.

The problem being that anyone who already has access to those classes/races via a vip subscription can't see them in the store to buy them.

So if you have a vip sub and bought the expansion for access to the iconics, you can see bladeforged.  And drow, fvs, and arti, because apparently they can turn off seeing things you have access to via a vip sub, but they can't turn off seeing things you already earned via favor.

The account will never lose access to drow/fvs/arti on a given server and so will never need to consider buying them, but a vip might want to buy races and classes that come with a vip sub they don't plan on renewing.  They really are incompetent both coming and going, aren't they?

Because favor access is not for all servers while VIP and store purchases are.

That may be true, but realistically, how many people play on more than one server?It never made a lot of sense to me. Especially when things like shared bank make keeping your alts all in one place much more useful.

I love it when someone thinks they are making a point by saying exactly what I said.  Or maybe it's not love at all.  You could have just as well have posted "+1!" and I'd have understood just as well that you had nothing new to add to the conversation.

It shows it do you can buy it for all the other servers before they merge them.  Maybe I misread your confusion up there, I was attempting to finish off a bottle of that honey flavoured jack daniels.  Was tired of looking at it with like 11 shots in the bottle that nobody eould drink.  Does cook up nice in a pecan pie though.

The trick to getting rid of the honey flavored booze is to start with something you like (Bulleit Rye, for example), but not enough of it to make you pass out.

My confusion?  You're the one who bought something labeled Jack Daniels.  And also honey flavored.

Drink single malt scotch like a man.  Or a real bourbon, such as Knob Creek.  Fun fact:  Knob Creek is owned by Jim Beam, another abomination posing as bourbon.  The massive consolidation of distilleries over the past couple decades means that most everything is made by just a small handful of companies, whether it is good or utter crap.  And the Japanese in particular have a hunger for scotch distilleries that knows no bounds.

I agree, unfortunately it was abandoned at a tailgating shindig.  Can't let alcohol go to waste.  I actually do prefer glenkinche lowland scotch.  They have a double aged bottle that I wish we could import.  I think the second aging is in an amontillado cask.  Bourbon in general gives me bad hangovers.
Edit: I make mitsakes often, like a barb16/rogue4 build, or taking the wife to Kazakhstan for holiday, or arguing on the vault.

Well, what makes you think they made it like this as a fuckup and not as an intentional move. This pretty much creates a dilemma for vips, being unable to "preemptively" buy stuff, then go f2p.

Remember turbine may be dumb and retarded but they always find a way to make someone pay with real $$$.

incompetence is one of turbines best scapegoats and its constantly heralded as an insult when its really the wool

>servers lag due to incompetence
>no more phone service due to incompetence
>commercial policies derived from incompetence
>bugs due to incompetence

sure it sounds bad, but much worse if you replace "incompetence" with "company directive"

and you know that is the reality of the situation. anyone who honestly believes otherwise is a fool. Everything that has ever sucked in this game was green lighted. there are no accidents, only acceptable losses.

shouting incompetence is basically no different than defending turbine.

too long didnt read: yes, exempting a portion of your clients from a sale is INCOMPETENCE and not STRATEGY- you are correct again, internet

Incompetence and "company directive" are far from mutually exclusive.  In Turbine's case, they not only coexist, they drive each other.

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, what makes you think they made it like this as a fuckup and not as an intentional move. This pretty much creates a dilemma for vips, being unable to "preemptively" buy stuff, then go f2p.

Remember turbine may be dumb and retarded but they always find a way to make someone pay with real $$$.

Jerry has said that it's an issue they recognize and are working with the new(ish) vendor to fix it.

Also, if I wait for my vip sub to expire and then wait to buy races/classes on discount it's a very minor inconvenience.  I'm not going to rush to buy something from them just because I lose access to it.  I'm going to buy then when it makes sense for me.  Since I've bought the expansions I have access to all the iconics.  Gnome/DG have no appeal for me, and I've earned access to all the restricted classes via favor that can be done.  I think I got a few other races/classes when they were selling packs at 85% off and you got a pile of TP with them, but I'd need to check to remind myself what those were.

Bottom line:  If they are trying to be clever by preventing me from buying stuff just because I already have access to it via vip, they are not clever enough by half.  Every (successful) company in the world understands that money now is better than money maybe later.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.


Smart players know how to use buyback.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.
