I fucking knew it

Theres a thread on the Mobos about some secret that the devs have left for players to figure out and players have been trying to figure it out

https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/532631-Dark-Secret-Found-in-Isle-of
-Dread

It seemed pretty obvious to me that the devs just fucked something up rather than actually doing something cool

for a brief moment, some players thought they were having one of those positive gaming moments, but no...


Known Issues:
Isle of Dread: The Dark Secret that appears in "Hail to the King" is a relic of the development process, and is not supposed to be in the game, which is why it has no dialogue. It will be removed in the next patch.


I feel bad for them, some brief hope, snatched away

I wouldn't want DDO to insert secret things, because you know SSG would fuck it up, or make it based on ludicrously low drop rates, or a ludicrously huge grind-wall, or all of the above.
  

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.

They still haven't found or removed the Fire Caves secret.
( but since it's a relic from the early days, it's probably hidden in the spaghetti code the current crop of dev won't even try to poke with a 10 foot pole )
  

Yes my avatar is an Hermine eating a Greenland Lemming for brunch.

This is why we can't have nice things.  Angry

I am 100% sure this was developed by Lynnshit like she did with Feywild chests and nebula fragments. But either she ran out of time or ran out of talent  Grin

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Torc's writing level is equivalent to a 7th grader's.

Steel's is better, maybe a 12th grader's.

Lyn's is somewhere in between.

It's rumoured that the ladder glitch was intentional.  If you get stuck, and stay stuck, for 6 days 6 hours and 6 minutes, you'll be teleported to a secret server where there are no bugs, gameplay is perfect, ping is sub 10ms, toons don't move like dancing spaghetti and every class looks like Cordovan.

I always jump off the ladder.

This game doesn’t deserve great players, honestly.
