Hold your pants. it was a 3 day downtime, nothing to sweat about.
If i get another fucking raiders box or not won't make a difference, except sentient xp.
250 points, an afternoon of play.
ViP extension - yowsa - I get the time back I lost during a stupor. Hooray.

They aren’t going to change everything to bta.  They have said no to that idea for raid loot and raid crafted loot more than once. 

I think that anything not raid loot or raid crafted makes sense though.   Personally, I liked BtCoE.   Even over BtAoA.  Which enabled the shard economy.

I agree with you.   There is a lot of BtC stuff that doesn't need to be.

They seem to be retroing the cosmetics to BtA.   Hopefully they keep that going.  The pets would be another good one.   I have a panther, a lioness, an owlbear, and two scarecrows.   Ugh.  Why can those not be BtA.   Then some of the crafting stuff that is stupid to have be BtC, like the older dragontouched runes and the shroud pie pieces and eveningstar comms.  All of that stuff can be BtA for sure.   It all comes out of non-raid content.    THat's just off the top of my head.

Planar shards too. (Ones collected in the sub). Necro 4 sigil pieces. (Less important since the flagging change, but still a pain)

Agree completely that all of that stuff should be BTA.

Also (I could be remembering wrong).......things like planar shards and DT runes do NOT go into a bag, right? They should change that as well. (At least th eold ones I have laying around don't go in any bag).

Pretty sure any player that's been at it for over a year finds zero value in the proposed gifts other than the few measly ddo points.

/Agree - its not like you can get any benefit from having two owlbears on the same character, and being able to move them would provide an easy solution for that "Whoops, I accidentally threw away my owlbear whistle" problem. Just role a new character, transfer whistle, delete char. Solved.

The crafting stuff isn't as important I would say, at least from an inventory-cluttering standpoint. It all goes in bags that only take up 1 slot. I'd like to see someone who legitimately accumulated 10,000 unused shroud pie pieces and expects to use all of them

Depends on the type of player. Not everyone is focused entirely on end-game high-skull content. The CitW weapons are pretty great if you can pull them out of the cache at-levels. The ranged weapons especially are very viable - and plenty of people don't have them. Anyone on the TR-treadmill will appreciate the bone.

They were dupable at one time, nonetheless.

So in theory if you managed to somehow get a diamond... ?
