petition: turn off shroud raid timer

[CSFurious]

i should be able to complete the shroud everyday if i want to with my tempest ranger because leveling a monk is like eating stinky fish & there is not much else to do in this game other than loot

the other raids are not that important to me so i do not care about them

[Kotter]

the rest of the year sucks I want it to be christmas ALL year round because well the rest of the days just aren't important to me... sorry just thought this was funny.

I understand what yer saying...I almost broke into tears when I rolled a bard and took him into Goodblades..

I disagree a lot the timers should not be turned off. Why not petition for a button option when you enter any quest when you push it the quest is completed and you get all the benefits for it. That way you don't have to bother with actually having to run through the quest.

Actually, they should kill the timer for all the raids; what's the point, anyway?

i solo my new halfing rogue when i can because trying to play with the summer/school's out kids in the harbor makes me cry as well

So that powergames don't run the raids 10 times a day and get all the best loot in a week is how I look at it.

Turbine, if you keep us capped for months and almost a year sometimes, you should let us raid as much as we want

[CSFurious]

they all got 6 or more capped & some have 2 accounts, they raiding every raid constantly anyway

i just want to spend an hour in the shroud every day, it is how i relax from working for the man

[totmacher]

timers don't make any sense anyway, if you wanna grind a quest 100 times back to back so be it

the only reason they'd ever be in there would be exploits or something, and even then ransacked on chests would kill the shroud until your timer was up

it's all kinds of ridiculous

[BlackSteel]

i'd actually agree on the shroud timer tho. People with a dozen capped characters, can pull old ones out of retirement for ingredients, with no intention of crafting for that character. But farming for their other ones. Nonpower gamers are handicapped by the timer, not the other way around. Its all a matter of how many runs you do, atm, more characters = more runs. Some people can craft one item a week, if you only have 1 character tho, you can only craft 1 item a month at best.

[CSFurious]

due to metagaming & uberloot, we already got the easy button in this game

as totmacher stated, timers make no sense at this point

[rimble]

I agree. Won't happen though, they need the timers to keep you around longer.

[RobbinB]

I see reasons for both timer and no timer, but regardless I think that the 3 day wait is too much. Maybe reduce the timer to 24 hours as a compromise?

But you see, chances are, the casual players wouldn't be able to run every raid more than once every few days, so it doesn't really hurt them/us (I consider myself a semi-casual player ).

Then again if the best stuff in the raids do not bind on pick up, makes little sense to have timers on them. I was looking at it from a WoW perspective. I have only run one raid (TS) so far in DDO and that was only once, so I'm not sure what goodies one gets from raiding here.

I get only a little time to play - maybe more than some, but not as much time as "power gamers"

Whoever says you can craft an item in two weeks - or even a month - I have to call BS on. Maybe YOU can, but average players (such as myself) are not going to be able to collect the exact 24 large ingredients in a month of playing. For a one-character player, it would take ... 72 days, given that you run every time your timer runs out and that you get the exact 24 ingredients you want to get to craft. You get one duplicate, your time goes up by three days. You get zero ingredients, three more days added on. You MAY get two or even three ingredients sometimes, but not regularly enough to count. Even getting a guaranteed 2 Large ingredients (that you need) each run, it would be 36 days - a little over a month.

It took me until Last week to do one Tier III item - single shard. Now I'm grinding for my dual shard weapon. Missing out on the "New" raids because I'm focused on crafting and running three characters through as fast as I can. ( Also leveling three others... )

If you only have one character, recall out of the raid before completion. You can run it again and again, each time getting a chance at another large. This is what you do with only one or two characters. Each run should take less than an hour. Let's say 3 hours a night (two attempts), 4 nights a week. It should take right about 2 weeks to craft a pure tier3 item (12 larges) - much less if you are only looking for a tier2 upgrade...

I could really care less if there is a timer. It's a grind either way - timer or no timer. More incentive to buy ingredients from plat farmers from the Auction House if you don't want to wait. Thanks to Turbine.

Then DON'T complete...just Ddoor out and you can run it every day if you want...
