Have they actually said what the loot list is or are we just guessing that it's the same as A10?

They haven't provided a list yet, but do you really the clowns at SSG are smart enough to change the list?

to change the list,  yeah probably.  It really shouldn't be that complicated to do so if their code is structured at all.  To think that they should change the list,  probably not.

So if you read between the lines in the patch notes its actually explains everything: not enough people were buying shifters, so they are nerfing alchs and sorcs and buffing shifters to make more money. Of course shifters still suck, so there's that.
  

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.

It wouldn't be hard to change the list at all. They had to make a whole new item so they will have to have done something. I sure hope at least some of it srelevent, after nerfing the fuck out of nukers I'm gonna need a shiny.

I'm just hoping that Epic Litany of the Dead's on the list from which to choose. I need to make another +2 to Stats augment.  Undecided Undecided

I have this image of DDO's code still using goto statements in it like something out of the 80's.  You never know how bad it could be.  That's why I say should.

? How does that work, and is it BtA? I am pretty sure I have one on some char or another.

Oh the code is definitely BAD, but I'm saying they wrote a new thing to do this instead of retreading the old one.  That would be comparatively easier than trying to scrape out the 10th anniversary item and change it into a store/coupon code deal instead of a "granted on login" arrangement.

Ok so speculations as to loot time:

10th anniversary hit us with Update 30, and the most recent raid loot on the list was MOTU(update 14). We're currently on update 48, so we can be looking back to update 32/33(assuming any kind of pattern). What raids came out between 14 and 33?

Also - and this is just wild speculation - but since it is 1 per account this time not 1 per character - MAYBE they will be extra generous? Hope springs eternal.

Sometimes your jokes are retarded bud.

The changes in the patch to shifters aren't even a buff lol. Shifters would practically require radical redesign to make them a desirable race and given how badly SSG fucked up easily one of the more unique/fun races from Eberron, I'd doubt take two would get it right either.

Honestly, handwrap barbarian can be fun.

My issue is with the way they severely fucked up the Shifting mechanic by being lazy and making it a reskinned barbarian rage.

Shifting doesn't prevent spell casting or any sort of actions in tabletop. If anything it's as cheesy a bonus as Dragonborings and their Breath attacks.

One of my alt accounts is getting those so I can buy augments in Gianthold without ever having to care about those raids again.

Trying to decide between Epic Quiver of Alacrity and one of the turn-into-an-augment raid items.

I already have the Heroic quiver and a Heroic SoS.

Have heroic quivers on all, so went with an epic quiver. Didnt really need any of the other stuff and at least you can pass the quiver to alts if you need it.

I'm probably going with Epic Litany for the profane augment.

The XP is kind of weak. 100k is one run through Spies on EH. I mean, on a new character, that is good xp boost, but otherwise just seems like a waste to me. Now it it was 2mil, that is more tempting of an offer.

Has it been established the experience gem actually goes in your inventory? I'm thinking it's probably more like a saga turn-in where your toon immediately has the experience point total added when if you choose an experience reward.
