	Producers letter https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/522057-A-Letter-from-Executive-Produce... Quote: a significant update to our Epic Destiny system. We are restructuring the core of the system, modernizing some trees and redesigning others, and making Epic Destinies more versatile by allowing players to have multiple Destinies active at the same time. Nothing good will come from this.

	Anything still good will probably get nerfed in that.

	I'm willing to take a few hits in the ED Pass 2.0 if they actually add support for the groups that weren't touched in the first run. Druids of all flavors, undead, artificers/robots, warlocks, and even the dreaded monks.

	"have multiple Destinies active at the same time" Like enhancements, so they might level gate them. In order to "balance" the game. If they carry on like this the 16th birthday present will be maintenance mode...

On the other hand, I recall they were talking about not having to fill karma anymore, and I loathe running off destiny, so I am looking forward to that. But I'm 105% sure they will fuck this up and I'll hate it. It's just what they do.

	Quote: On the other hand the mini-expansion news is fucking horrible too. Yup. There aint any sort of good to come out of that. Hopefully the outcry will be loud enough to make them stop before they pull that shit a second time.

	And from Sev's mouth during the livestream: They 'learned lessons' from the mini-expansion on Lotro, and are going to try and get tech in place to give VIP players a discount on the content. AKA: VIP is getting shafted again.

	The ED Pass will be, " 'having our cake and eating it too' where you get a lump of ED points at level 20, and the rest you gain slowly as you level up." So maybe not as bad as the previous version, but still borked undoubtedly.

	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.

	How would SSG even do a "mini expansion" for DDO? The regular expansions are tiny. Half of feywild is, what, a generic quest pack? Worse still they can't seem to come up with any perks bar shoving more cosmetics down our throats. Build a fucking cosmetics system, already, you tards.

You just answered a question. It's a gimmick for them to sell the quest pack and not give it to vips. It's basically trying to fuck vips twice. I'm honestly pretty disgusted by it.

So in other words when they said they "learned their lesson" with LOTRO what they meant to say was "did not learn anything at all and never will"?

My guess on what they learned, "If we mark the pack up 20% then give vip's a 10% discount on that, we'll cut down the complaints by 50% because our players are gaslighted mental midgets who will buy anything." You know something like that.
