As far as I'm concerned gearing is dead until Feywild part 2. I mean maybe the mini-expansion will add new sets but I doubt it. They'll likely save sets/set pieces for the Wildhunt and things, and I really hope they take the feedback on previous Seasons pieces into account when they design new Feywild stuff.

On topic though, I'd have to agree. I'm taking a 'break' until the ED pass drops just to look at it. Until then I might log in for the odd raid or quest. But I'm definitely not 'playing' DDO as far as I'm concerned.

Breaks are good. I've taken several that were a year long or more.

I might be due for another soon, I am almost certain that the ED pass will be terrible. Been scaling back already.

I haven’t played since they’ve dropped this utter train wreck, and I won’t until those unqualified hacks fix whatever it is they broke outright with weapon swaps.

Regardless, I’m done paying any money whatsoever into this game, and that brings up a point that’s apparently well beyond the comprehension level of anybody currently working there.  SSG is a business being run by retards who have no business whatsoever in business in any capacity.  Those leaking colostomy bags would have a lot more paying customers if they weren’t blindly running this game into the ground while pretending that they actually know what they’re doing.

Replacing beta male cuck Brownstar with an actual steaming pile of shit would benefit SSG in two ways.  It would significantly cut down on the in-office stench, and it wouldn’t be making decisions based on personal biases.

They roll dices, of course.
Actually that would be too professional. I put my money on: they spit in the wind and have a look which enhancement, weapon style or whatever gets hit on the chalk board. And that is the thing they rework.

Wrong, I'm not a sock and play plenty... which you already know kid. You only started calling me one when I turned down your request to share an exploit. And let us not forget that at first, you tried calling me a SSGpally and only switched to the sock nonsense after I proved I wasn't a Pally.

So... back to the subject at hand, I was actually pretty damn excited about hardcore until the lamannia previews and that started to take the wind out of my drive, logging on and playing it live on totally killed it. I do have one theory, most players have stacks of past lives, races, gear, etc... so that they don't really feel the impact of the changes. They are seriously bad when you play a bow toon, so instead of blowing way too much time bitching about shit they won't fix it and going nuts every time I try to play some build other than what they want us to.

I am for reals amazed, even stunned how much U49 absolutely assraped the tier 2 and below bow builds, and made bow entirely unusable for splash because at low levels it is so fucking slow now. While the DPS-focused Bow builds (the few there were) got some beefing up in individual shots the fact is that the doubleshot change is still a huge nerf, and once you factor in all the lost chances to IPS multis... well it goes way beyond my meager math.

So instead of going insane and pointlessly frothing, I'm going to try some other games and go back to ones I like. Also, warm weather is here. I'll be honest, the feeling that I get that the developers really do not understand what they have done, just don't ever see it... well that is way more maddening for me for some reason and I'm old enough to see that is gonna really get to me for the immediate future and as the whole thing makes me kind of irrationally mad I don't want to run the risk of losing all the money and time I have already so unwisely sunk into DDO.

For me Balder's gate, and diablo back in the day. Now I tend to like the big platform stuff. Going loggin some Destiny, Mechwarrior online, may even give Cyberpunk some time. Going to steer clear of the fantasy stuff during break.



Side-note: Just to be clear this isn't one of those "they broke my toon!" things, in fact I haven't really been into bow toons for years because they were so sub-par. I've held off until they did the pass and was going to try a bunch of different toons with bows, now that's pointless. Not to mention the way the whole upadate was rolled out, and of course the stupid proc stuff. Maybe if the update had actually fixed some lag I would have given it some time, but the lag is just as bad as it was last month so clearly, there is something else going on, a ulterior motive... or more likely pure incompetence. Whatever the case I'm not going to waste any energy on it now.

Serious bummer.

I'm just curious about what they actually think they are doing. How they think they are improving things because on some level these clowns think they are making the game a better place.

I read an exchange on discord where Lynnabel claimed to understand how to level a particular build and then had to have it explained to them because the next statement they made clearly showed that they had zero idea.
And every keeps saying that Lynnabel is the pick of the bunch.
