10% off for VIPs. $99.99 for a top-tier... mini-expansion. Ha. Ha. Ha. Good one, SSG!

I'll pass.

The sad thing is that they even advertise "epic destinies access", like....really?


Mini expansion that costs like a regular expansion and not even a raid? Mkay

EDIT
The standard edition (the one I'm going for) is half the price of same tier for feywild. The middle and the upper tiers are the ones where they screw you over. By the way, the most expensive tier has a "dimensional hireling folder", yes, a freaking expanded folder to carry hirelings  Grin

Finally something useful for whales that don't know where to stove their useless premium hires  Cheesy

Is this just regular hirelings or would it hold the 8 million special hirelings SSG keeps churching out? (owlbear, saytr, shield guardian, etc)

What does “Unlimited Spark of Logic Access” mean, exactly?
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Oh, and the fact the new horse mount isn’t a Nightmare is a fail of the highest degree.

If it was, and it was only available in the Ultimate Fan Bundle, that would have guaranteed the mini-expansion’s overwhelming sales success.

But their marketing team (Tolero?) is retarded.

I will likely only get the Standard edition, now.

Way to miss out on a golden sales opportunity, SSG.

Lizard folk armored mount is really intriguing, I wonder what that will look like and do. 

From Cordovan:
" The Unlimited Spark of Logic Access is a spark that will unlock one Filigree slot, is Bound to Account, and can be acquired by speaking to an NPC. This means you can get the spark any number of times. This Spark is available in-game as a rare drop in the Epic Saga reward list for Saltmarsh."

I think they missed a chance to introduce a Lizardfolk race

    Couple of followups:

    - The Dimensional Hireling Folder is Bound to Account and delivered to the first character you log into after purchasing the expansion.

First expansion (mini-expansion?) that I intend to wait for the store for.
I have quit supporting them.  My current plan is to just ride this ship until it sinks.

I do hope they find a way to impress me again.

Cordo was woefully unprepared on his livestream today when answering questions, and even this written response was highly inadequate.

It makes me wonder what he does with his “work” time? He’s certainly not spending much time getting ready to deal with the DDO community!

reminder that he lost his notes during the big annual celebration live stream,.  I wonder if he found them yet.

They started a whole new company, ssg, from turbine.  and they brought him WITH THEM.

Think about that.  A perfect time to clean house, to remove anyone you wanted, with no legal problems, nothing!  It's a brand new company.  AND THEY BROUGHT HIM WITH THEM.

Tolero is fucking Steelstar's husband and cordo has pictures.

You come up with a better theory.

Forgive me if I can't make heads or tails of cordo's gibberish, but this sounds like if you buy the ultimate pack, you get this thing that opens a filigree slot and you can have as many as you want. Am I understanding this correctly?

Sparks only open up the possibility of an additional slot. You still have to feed your sentient jewel enough xp to actually get the slot.

What I’d like to know is how many sentient xp will it take to get that 10th slot? 50K, 75K, or maybe even 100K?

Boo hoo. Go play something else the game doesn't need you or habitual complainers like you. Also, it can't be healthy for you to be around something that makes you act the way you do.

I'd say that everyone on SSG is on crack with these prices but...

Pound to a penny the best selling pack is the $100 one.

Good, I'll go for the $20 pack, and buy the universal tree once it hits the store.

You're getting so good at retarding that it's getting harder to tell if or when you're pretending.

I mean what the hell else was I going to use all those tensers boxes on?

Granted without raid filigree/double filigree I feel like I'm wasting time.

I'm going to ammend my statement :

I'll buy the $20 pack for my main account and use the DDO points I have there to buy the tree once it hits the store... and I'll just wait on the secondary account for everything to hit the store and use accumulated points to buy the various bits... like I did for Feywild.
