Is this confirmed? I know they pushed it back from the xpack, but I was kinda holding out hope for it in the Aug update. I don't know if I could wait until Nov for the one thing I was excited for in...

This was my first thought. Change Hard to Kill so that on Hard and Elite Epics, a failed save means damage = 50% max hp. That way, a mob of <50% hp is dead, while a mob with >50% hp is just nuked....

Impressive. Most Impressive.

The sigil leveling may be a better analogy, but in terms of power, I'd argue that a Wizard or a Sorc blow FvS and Monk out of the water in terms of power level (and Monk, FvS, and Sorc are the 3...

Which is why I don't put stock into the forumites tossing around "Pay 2 Win". They use it too fast and loose.

If having to buy Epic Destinies is Pay 2 Win, so is the fact that the Vale is a P2P...

Thanks Durnak, and good point. That xp total is totally subject to change. So whenever I mention anything about xp totals for epics, I guess that needs to be taken into account. :D



Well,...

It's not a bad idea, but like you said, it does require tweaking whenever they do a level cap increase again (it's not much, they just have to change the value of x in "each level 5 destiny gives .1x...

The only issue I could see with that is if they ever expanded the level cap by another 5 levels, they would have to have introduced another 10 destinies by then.

We also know that each destiny is...

Very interesting idea. One that has great potential. DEAR DEVELOPERS: Please do not miss this post while lurking around in this thread. :D It definitely has some ideas worth considering.

Now,...

That's pretty cool.

But, as others asked, can you specify how this will interact with Shadow Fade? Inquiring minds want to know for sure! :P

This is the base of my concern. I'm not all that concerned about carrots and sticks and whatnot. I'm concerned about A) a segregated player base and B) a huge increase in the grind back to cap after...

Huh? I asked for what now?

Mostly, my posts have been trying to point out a possible problem I see with the current implementation of epics as given by the devs. I see a huge potential for a...

You might be right about the dev intent here. And though I can't speak for everyone, I can speak for myself (and I know there are some out there who feel the same as I on this topic): it would be...

I was out picking up dinner and thought about posting this, but you beat me to it. For those who don't TR, what reason could they possibly have to promote the idea of TRs losing levels 21-25? If...

So, if I got this right....

"Good news, everyone! No one will buy True Hearts of Wood out of the DDO Store anymore!"

If that came to pass, I have a feeling heads would be rolling out of the...

Because arbitrary rules are arbitrary...but hey, I'll give it a go around.

You need all 20 heroic levels because that's what TRing is based around: the heroic levels. You get a bonus feat (the...

If this is true, and you can still do ALL of the endgame at 20, then A LOT of the problems with losing levels disappear. For now*. But if you CAN'T do all the endgame, then a system is created where...

I have a suspicion that the Epic Destinies will take care of a lot of the loss of class features from the generic epic levels. My guess, any melee-focused Destiny is going to give some kind of attack...

So, I've been ruminatig on this a bit more, and talkimg to my better half that's in the middle of a completionist grind. Then I also thought about the conversation between Sirgog and MF, where Sirgog...

This:


is why I think this:


isn't true. If you only have an incentive to play out a few epics between TRs, but not play the endgame until you are done TRing, the system is flawed, like...

What's funny, is last night I thought, "You know what they could do? Just make it so you have to get to level 25 to TR again...that would fix the 'leveling 21-25 is useless if you're gonna TR again'...

Well said.



What if it's not elitist? Currently, it's rare to see people take uncapped characters into LoB, even on normal (unheard of to me on anything higher than normal). And that's not...

This...mostly. A few buffs is okay. But melees by and large are a snore to play because for many, after activating boosts, you can turn on auto-attack and keep your hands off the keyboard for far too...

A number of posts in this thread are related to questing, including low level quests and stuff. That's outside my realm of relevance these days. If I'm grinding XP, I run solo or with...

Not sure if we're really supposed to comment on others' posts, but I really wanted to comment on this.

The way I feel, Epic is not so much a difficulty setting as it is a mechanic to turn "heroic"...
