Before somebody starts yelling Stealth Nerf...

Hey Devs,

I just had to download two small files for some reason after the downtime. Normally this causes an outburst of Stealth-Nerf claims, even if it's just a change to the screen art... So before the masses panic... Why? What did we download? I didn't see any new art. Could be that the Art won't go up until some later point?

They removed halflings.

Sweet! I hated tripping over those little things.:D

Q said it was to clean up after the live event. Perhaps the portals still opening and devils spawning and sigils have been removed.

Though have to say, yesterday morning, ran into some CR 11 devils and such, and saw one chasing a mid level character across the market. Kinda funny.

I wish they would just keep spawning the CR 11 devils until the next Mod. It sort of make sense not to remove them until the next chapter of this story.

[Shaamis]

random spawns several times a day, of maybe something weaker, like tieflings, or bats, with devils/orthons showing with the same frequency as it was a few days ago, would give you just the right amount of nervousness as you run through the marketplace.....

[Nefahrin]

They removed halflings.

That would SO make the game more enjoyable :D

Aye. Too late now, but yeah, a few stragglers (or scaredybats just coming out of hiding) picking on the weaker folks.. :D

[Hambo]

How much will you miss your kneecaps? :D:D:D

[Nefahrin]

How much will you miss your kneecaps? :D:D:D

Too funny
The only thing I hate more than Halflings is Gnomes.
Thank God there are no Gnomes in DDO.

We need a sign at the Stormreach Entrance,
You must be this tall to Enter :D

No Halflings- No Gnomes- Makes a much better game environment.

LOL!!

Do dorfs qualify? :D

[Vizzini]

**** halfling haters!!! *shakes fist* come back here and I'll chew off your kneecaps!!


That would SO make the game more enjoyable :D

[Vizzini]

Just tell me why, honestly Halflings get such a bad rap, I've seen many skilled halflings who can out perform those of the non short stature. Halflings are an integral part of DDO, remove them and the other short races, and you would find yourself the short races, being picked on by the giants because of your short stature.. Next time just remember that what goes around comes around.

Look for my Why halflings are the superior race post - Coming soon!

Hey Where is the halfling love!!!

As for Gnomes....come on man, why else have a name like Pesky or Garden if not for a Gnome?

[Westerner]

Height has nothing to do with being picked on... it's all about image. Nobody picks on dwarves, maybe because the last denizen to try that ended up under the table after a beer drinking contest. :)

Whereas elves may be tall, but...

Halfling: What's the difference between an Elf and a meat pie?
Dwarf: That's easy. Meat pies don't scream when they go squish. :D :D :D

I think Halflings need to rebrand themselves... they probably get a lot more respect as Hobbits in LotRO.

[Nefahrin]

Hey Where is the halfling love!!!



Have you tried LotR? Only they're called Hobbits over there.

I'll pay for the tickets to send them back to LotR where they can
have a normal life amongst their own kind in the Shire.

[Quarion]

Yeah, we removed halflings because we were short on LOTRO assets and had to ship them over there... :)

[Big-Dex]

LOL!!

Do dorfs qualify? :D


:mad: DWARF! :mad:



;) :D

[Mad_Bombardier]

LOL!!

Do dorfs qualify? :DArrrgggghhhh... For the last time.

You mean like how the Giants enslaved the Drow so long ago? You have a good point. If we took out Halflings, who would we have to kick around?

[Impaqt]

Quite posibly the best Dev Quote ever. I'd put it in my sig If I had room.... (Counts Quarions Sig Lines.....)

Sorry!! Of course, thank you for illustrating that the dwarves (the first dude) have larger beer bellies.

[Westerner]

:mad: DWARF! :mad:
;) :D
Sorry. Dorf, Dwarf... It all sounds the same to the dwarvish ear. I prefer the term Stoneborn, personally. ;)

[geoffhanna]

They removed halflings.

Hah - go ahead and laugh now...

In mod 7 you're all going to be playing halfling monks!

Seems very Benny Hill-esque.
