Because it's fun and interesting?

Interesting?   none of it was at all.   All auto-scaling and nothing but Champions.

Fun? yes, some stuff definitely was and this has the potential to breath life into some old content. 10 Skull Chronoscope was a blast.  Other quests were frustrating and retarded.

There's just not gonna be any replay value if it doesn't pay.

Those are some great ideas, but we can't get them to put half that effort into things 50% of the population uses, how likely are they to put it into something 5% of the population will use? The hearts are genius, though, they would make far more in sales of tomes and spell point potions than they would lose in lost store sales of hearts, if only they were bright enough for enlightened self interest.

You know valley girl I used to like your style and attitude. Back in the cleric tied to a chair thread you swung hard for the right of the divine to play warrior rather then healer.

But you do know that wandering mercenary types rarely had full sets of complete customade for them plate right? Not to mention that actually many armors use asymmetric design for functional reasons.

Reinforcing the left shoulder with thicker plate and adding ridges that obscure the left side of the face and neck are not at all unheard of modifications on plate actually used in battle rather then ceremonially which those pristine suits you see so often depicted typically where.

The 2nd ed fighters handbook for D&D explained armor damage and using piece mail when armor became damaged beyond repair. If you played with those rules it was very common to be wearing quite the chimeric montage of armor types by the time one got back to a bastion of civilization and a good armorer.

Personally I find it sad we don't have an in game design our own armor option like games more then ten years old have had including nwn2.

But this tude of yours about the armor has pushed a button of mine valley girl. Its a fantasy world it shouldn't even have clothing or armor designs we find familiar. The realms sure but not eberoni.

Wow, I knew raids weren't the be-all end-all some make them out to be, but less than 20%? Is that < 20% of the players run raids, or < 20% of the quests run are raids?

But anyway, I'm glad to hear they are working on it and hope it comes to pass. Not that I'll ever bother, most likely, but because it provides a way to give the top end players some serious challenge without having to screw over the main content that I *do* run.

This game has room for everyone, this is a great opportunity for them to switch from their normal mode of alternating halves of the population to screw to doing something that pleases a few without harming the rest.

Ah yes, the old "buht ebburrun!" defence. Godawful looking stuff.

I like your idea of implementing the piecemeal armor rules, though. We could degrade all the assymetrical armor to 1 step lower for defence and keep the penalties for heavier armor.

attention before you try reading this,you must know that really bad english is following
well
before years destroyd clerics and no ones want to play clerics
now its the time of wizards to die
before some days i was speaking with some m8s and i sayd,hey i like to play only wizard ,i play only wizard from 2006 but i have 45 spells ready on spell book and i can use only 4-5 instant death spells,and its not my choose cause and if i want to use cc or somethink else i dont have the time, the mob will die very fast before even i land my disco
now i read this one,wizards go even worst,i cant even use those 4-5 spells,cause all the mobs have imunitys,so the only way is to use 2-3 spells disco hold person (yes i can use again those 2)and prismatic lol
so turbine have gave to everyone self heal to dont need clerics,gave to everyone full reflexes and prr so no ones need a roque and now destroying one more class,wizards,so they drop out of the game the players who liked those classes
cause turbine have make all the high players and the most on ddo is old high players,to kill everythink in seconds,now trying to change this giving to the mobs more hp and imunitys,this is not the meaning
want to make the game more chalenge?make it dont destroy the game,take back the self heal from the most classes with this idiot fucking destinys heal so you will atract back clerics on game,dont fucking make the traps so easy so anyone with reflexes or prr can pass,make the traps only for the roques,and also for insta kills really dont give to the wizards the option to play only with 2 cc spells,you have fucked up the game and the saves on instant death is so low?go higher the saves of the mobs so half or more of them can survive,or make the wizards to use first negative level to them or the old cloud kill spell,but dont destroy the necromancy school
at the end i can see only warlocks playing the game and ranger builds,cause even the fighters barbs or others with out wizards left to hold with cc the mobs they will drop also

for the most of you propably im tottaly wrong,but wizards propably can understand me,clerics and roques also

i m wondering what it means that all classes got full reflexes (so they dont need rogues).

Great for you I guess, but less than 20% of DDO players run in groups.  Right?  At least I think that's how citing usage figures is supposed to work around here.
