Ready or not U34 comes out this week confirmed.

We are still planning to release Update 34 this week. Update 35 will likely be the anniversary update, set for sometime late February/early March (per our usual anniversary window.)


https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/483166-U34#post5929155


Looks like it will be pretty much what we all saw last week, interaction dropped to almost zero since Friday. No matter where you stand on Reaper, champs or nerfs it should prove to be a pretty bumpy ride.

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.

Cordovan said the same thing on the DDOCast on Saturday.  I'm not surprised though.  3 lama passes is about the most you get.

That was a bit naive of you.  Turbine or SSG, they still have the same constraints, the same need to release enough content in a year to try to keep the players engaged. 

Changing the name doesn't change that need, the only thing which would bring about a real change in their MO would be to hire on enough competent people in both development and QA so that they can release more content in less time, and less buggy content overall.
  

No, let me be Frank.

The company they work for just wants to make money.  The staff were always the ones putting out the material.

I have come to understand there is an adult workforce age group with disposal income that simply eats up everything these Ex-Turbine employees dish out.  I know first hand people that fork over hundreds of dollars a month for the store micro-transactions.  Not content, just pots, hearts, cosmetics...anything like that.

Point is, as much as I don't understand it, this game probably makes money catering to a small percentage of players that dish out mega bucks and those players simply have different likes/wants than most of us.

I suspect they'd make more money if they could find more things to sell to the masses. At the moment, once you've bought every quest pack, your choices are... consumables, and really expensive things.
  

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.

Remember that U34 isn't just reaper.  We also get The Tower of Frost!

Just take a peep at the awesome drops in this "run it once for the favor" dungeon they spent development hours working on:

http://ddowiki.com/page/Update_34_named_items

A ML14 rune arm that isn't craftable, nice that the first rune arm released after their CC update can't use it...

And CC can make items just as good as the rest, with the sole exception of quality physical or magical heroic 4/elite 7.  I'm sure people are going to ransack the place for those gems!

If they aren't going to drop RNG rune arms, they kinda need to keep the named ones craftable, right?

Exactly.  Just like "debugging" is throwing it up on Lama and letting the players report the bugs.

Like half the rune arms above 25 aren't craftable, pretty sure they said from the start that only some were gonna be craftable. I don't ever use the crafting, can't put int on rune arms and that's all I'd use em for.

There are no craftable epic rune arms. Allowing Int on a rune arm would be useful to the only class that can operate them, and that would be um ... P? Maybe. Certainly not OP. So obvs., not Int for rune arms. But it's not all bad, because you can't alter the ML, so you can craft 108/52 spell power on your Toven's Hammer, with 16 spell lore.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn?

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.

Sold.

Also adds bludgeoning damage, so it's a hot swap for a Skeleton-beater, if you can't be assed to bust out the Silver Slinger, or don't have one. Or can't wait until Lvl 16.

Whatevs.

In either event, I'm just pissed off because the cosmetics look good so now I have to give a fuck about Reaper.

I call bullshit.

I never managed to get the 2nd part for my Toven's... so it's been sitting for godamn ever. Quick question, does the crafting option take it out of BTC like other gear?

So... I was excepting it to be today on Wednesday. The last updates have been on this day of the week. Maybe they gave up and will have another round on lama. Or it's just that now with SSG they prefer Thursday or Friday?

Hand of the Tombs drops like candy from E-Wiz King, is lower level, has DISRUPTION and breaks doors/kills rats in Tormented/lights candles in Inferno.

Why would I use http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Whirling_Words over Hand of the Tombs?


Actually I hate swapping in any other rune arm fullstop because fireballing doors is just so fun!
