Customary "DDO 2 is coming" before it whole thread is full of posts with it... :p

In all honesty though, no idea. Could be anything in my head. :)

Who knows didn't it say 2 rewards one cosmetic one usable. ..the big 2 gifts. It's most likely going to be something ok. Just to quell the rage quiters atm.

think he said something like those wanting a raiders reward box might be happy, so half expecting the list from the 10th anniversary to reappear again.

The Tweet didn't, no. However, that might be accurate.

[grubenbrobrobroketv]

the big 2 must mean were getting level 32

Interesting, that wasn't included in the Tweet. Okay, that makes sense.

[vryxnr]

Hooray for anniversary free stuffs!

...but I gotta say, announcing you got something special for an anniversary coming up and showing a big picture that is nothing but a giant number two... the first thing that will enter most peoples minds is sequel, not "two days away" or "2 gifts". Unless this is intentional misdirection?

[ShifterThePirate]

It's funny how you go to the Turbine website when you click on the facebook image

And I doubt they have people making this kind of artwork just for announcing the amount of days. They don't even make artwork for more important stuff.

With that said we'll probably get a "1" tomorrow,

[Valerianus]

2 days. in 2 days is wednesday. server restart + update to start event.

[Gniewomir]

So, they cared enough to make a logo? Now i'm a bit suspicious.

The meaning of "2' in ddo terms:

DDO2 coming soon?
2x the XP weekend bonus?
Ddo is putting out a commercial for doublemint gum?
Duping 2.0 (ddo to finally embrace)?
2 days till release?

[ycheese123]

Yes, it makes this pretty interesting. And they have all copyright text on the 2 image as well. I have a hard time imagining DDO2 is coming, but that was honestly my first thought when I saw this. I still think it's more than just "2 days" despite the facebook post.

Lol, funny I thought the same thing.

Cordovans going to return with a cloned twin...the process is nearly completed.

[Annex]

Vexa the Dagger: Every second character is about to get nerfed and flame quit.

Sophie the Cat Burglar: Oh good grief. Could you please not start that fire again?

Vexa the Dagger: No, no. I am doing a public service. Adversity builds character and some of these idiots could really use the help. *looks pointedly at Sophie*

Sophie the Cat Burglar: *glares back at Vexa* Very funny.

Vexa the Dagger: Alertness?

Sophie the Cat Burglar: Hey! That is not fair! I was new to Eberron and my dad suggested it!!!

Raider's Reward Box, but it's still the CitW weapons.

Noooooooo

sort of unrelated and generally speaking, not talking to the person i quoted directly,

it is interesting that we accuse them about shobby, half-baked, unpolished, unfinished, sort of these things...and sometimes we are right.

the time they come up with something nice, more good-looking, for the hype, after all year 15 is quite a milestone...we go all paranoid like no it can't be that they did a "2" only for the days countdown something is going on!!!! obviously the threads about "i don't like the fest gifts\rewards" will pop up one after another too. we see the sky is falling even when we are not looking at the sky.


my dear community, we are all full of anger and frustration and distrust cause the world is burning , aren't we all?

Cordovans going to return with a cloned twin...the process is nearly completed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought someone said Cordovan had a twin a long time ago.

[Loholt-UK]

I still have the ones from last time.

All those wanting a raider's reward box raise your hands.

I'd prefer a nerfer's reward box full of nerfed belts.

[Cordovan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought someone said Cordovan had a twin a long time ago.

I do! Fraternal, not identical.

Hand raised.

[MaeveTuohy]

Noooooooo

Agree, it's the other box we need, to let newer players get their Quiver.

[Mofus]

Could it be a "buy 1 get 2 free" deal? :)

[salmag]

2 Wishes of Inheritance per character?

You shouldn't have...

Teaser...

[WaxLyrical]

Perhaps it could be return of the killer silver swans.

[Maquist]

As long as we're casting about wildly for the meaning, I'll toss my wild-yet-baseless speculation/wish into the mix...

We're finally getting Gestalt characters as an option!

[SirShen]

We all know what a number 2 is. HAHA.

[Eme]

Tome of Destiny +2 upgrade, or +1 . 1 per account.

[glassesjr]

As long as I can get a quiver I will be happy (and I suspect other people) since I missed the 10th anniversary before.

Maybe puts to rest the mystery.

[vryxnr]

Oh. My. God.

They really did follow it up with another image but this time it's a giant number 1.

*dies*

Not just another image... they made an animation oehwwww :rolleyes: Whats next? A new game?

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Is it a countdown ? With the rest of the 10-1 missing ? ;)

2 .. 1 ... 0 ... Launch ! ;)

[Paladin_of_Power]

So do we get a big fiery explosion tomorrow?

[Rastallin]

I do! Fraternal, not identical.

Which one is the clone though? It's ok you don't have to tell me :)
Belive it or not Timmy9999 is an identical twin.

[Zorrbeania]

I don't know what the numbers are about, I'm pretty sure SSG always enjoys making this event (at least it seems like it to me), and maybe they're very excited about how they changed it this year. Either way, I'm looking forward to take part in the party, and am curious to see if the numbers are anything more than just a count down.
Thank you so much Standing Stone Games for the event and coupon codes! :)

[gravisrs]

That image is obvious! SSG is secretly working on DDO 2, all textures are being currently redesigned for 8k+ resolutions, all 3d models are rewritten to hi-poly (for quest maps AI is involved to make whole process smooth and effective), all mocap also gets hi-res. Moreover the new ddo 2 will support Raytracing and it's based on DX12 engine and it's effects, you'd love it! Especially scalable UI that fits well 4k+ resolutions and the spell effects are amazing!

Serverside engine is now 120fps, the infrastructure uses totally new software approach - there will be one megaserver but the public instances will be dynamically split into different physical machines (so eg Marketplace-1 will be running on machine A, Marketplace-2 on machine B etc - that will make switching public instances just a bit longer). There will be a dedicated machine just for raid instances to get the lags to minimum (which are already decreased to minimum!). With the new launcher it takes less than 20 seconds from starting the launcher to play the game even on 10 year PC.

And the ladders are working!

[rabidfox]

And the ladders are working!
I was totally convinced until you got to this line...

[Zogid]

I hope it is not like the Matrix 2 or Karate Kid 2.

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

I do! Fraternal, not identical.

That's a shame, an evil Cordovan twin story could be interesting for an anniversary event thing......

[zachmandude]

For the love of shinies, Kobold race please. Definitely know it's not going to be the gift in this year's Anniversary event BUT, c'mon SSG, we've waited for the Kobold race long enough. Not sarcasm or a joke. When that whole vote was going on between Dragonborn and Kobold a few years ago, I had a hard time choosing either or. Just saying it'd be great to run around as a Kobold [insert class here].

Here's hoping for a tiny scaled friends in the [near] future!
