Walking?

Try turning off "Walk Mode," man!

You know there is one small possible upside from them stealing shit from LOTRO to put into DDO. Namely will they do some sort of Housing so we can have more storage space? Maybe a Wall for each raid you can store your BtC Raid Items you aren't using and not refilling the TR Cache...

Something like THAT could be useful. I wouldn't mind not having to trash old raid gear just because it's trash to make room for other stuff.

Since I don't play LOTRO but a guildie of mine mentioned they have wardrobes to store all their cosmetics crap that is distinct and separate from regular bank space. I could definitely get behind that to help unclog all those infinite cosmetics we seem to collect. I have no idea what else we might get stolen over to DDO so what are the other candidates for them to pawn off on us.

Heard mounts are coming with keep on the borderlands.

Ravenloft esque teleports would be a lot simpler and less stupid.



My 1st thought was actually about Guild Raiding

Guild members all gather, do their batch of requisite Raids that aren't on timer.. afterwards they all gather on the ship in the cargo hold to bullshit and gear tetris. Folks log off for the night... next day when people come back, they arrive on the main deck to the powerful stench of 3 feet deep worth of horse shit & piss sloshing about below decks...

Beside Techno point, there's no reason to spend 5 minutes in Barovia except to look for the scrolls ( or whatever they named them here ) and to kill mob.
If you're doing the quests , you jump to the questgivers.

An Item Collector à la Monster Manual... that idea was discussed by the first PC and openly in the forum ( it's still there somewhere )... but Turbine killed it despite the fact that that it came from several people at the same time.

the only way to make mounts cool is add something ala mammoth mounts from wow, i.e. a bank merchant or repair/sell vendor attached to one.

It is also ironic that they want to introduce something which will increase movement speed when so many of their recent changes have been poorly conceived attempts to slow things down.

Hmmm, I can't seem to figure out why they would want to slow things down... It wouldn't be to sell mounts would it?

I think they wanted to employ someone who made the mounts for LOTRO so they could stay on the books for future updates.

They don't fit into how DDO is currently made (mounts in taverns/ blocking the quest giver, that is really stupid!) 

Don't get me wrong, even during alpha I was pulling for the Paladin's mount and its abilities but Eck put the kibosh on that stating it took away from the personal feel of being in that PC role during a dungeon crawl and walking around town.  There were no mounts, familiars, NPCs.
Later, they didn't want it to be a WOW clone of ideas that didn't fit within their structure. 
We now know the current generation of super-sensitive devs only want to bolt on stuff that seems cool in games without any rhyme or reason. They are anti-3.5 and don't understand that 3.5 was the last version of D&D before the major split of ideals to be a money grab (4.0 vs. Pathfinder which outsold 4.0 for several years).


Most games that I see mounts in just block access to the quest giver as well as impeded FPS viewing but are needed since there are large distances between instances. I don't play those games.


The ONLY way to make mounts useful is to give them saddle bags to carry even more stuff and let me have the option to turn off other people's mounts so they don't block my view / ability to click on quest givers, vendors, etc.

Definitely agree with the above statement.
