Please go ahead a demonstrate an effective one.

Better people than you or I have tried.

When SSG doesn't even listen to their PC, they have issues that go beyond what the player base can...

More importantly, they've designed an entire game around picking winners and losers by adjusting damage all over the place, while ignoring every player that says "this is what actually makes playing...

It's tough when you drop builds without a single conversation.

Doesn't seem like you care much.

Grace_ana,

Your arguments are good, but I shudder to think how SSG will mess this up if they do anything.

People are correct to be very wary that whatever SSG does will dilute any class...

This is literally what we asked for in SSG design, and they decided to instead buff everything past everyone else without preserving what makes bard more unique.

SSG almost always combines...

I look forward to your 5th post. Thanks for your contribution and insight to this thread.

That may be their present state, but it is just due to design decay.

Anything new is top of the heap, and decays to the bottom.

Bard was top tier dps along with all those other things when they...

If this was a D&D based game that would be true.

You can see where DDO is headed.

By removing the resistance/immunity of mobs, there is no good design reason to have force/sonic limited. ...

SSG wants to individually sell the bypasses.

If they used design, they wouldn't be able to take things from us and sell it back - merely because it would be too obvious.

In a totally broken...

You won't find a consistent system for effects in DDO.

Some stuff makes sense, like a friendly fireball not hurting the rest of the party (for gameplay reasons).


When we look at A works on B,...

Incorporeal can pass through solid objects, so the answer is -

"Welcome to DDO: Have fun bug testing what works on what and don't look for any overall thought or design."

Now a force cage,...

lol - Timmy, this game in it's present form is built for you. On that we agree.

When the game offers a better experience, I will be in endgame, and if that ever happens we will be streaming some...

That and the players that play in groups for max rewards think they use great team work.

It would be fun to measure how little their play changes based on what others are doing.

Multiple...

I would prefer they make a challenge setting about interesting interactions.

There appears to be little here absent the chase for rewards, judging by the very players threatening to leave...

Yes, SSG has supported only this one way to play the game in their design choices. The player base that calls the content static, and that believes that ignoring that content at ever faster speeds...

It's funny that players describe the content as repetitive without realizing the choices you make while playing the game are very repetitive and static. If you believe the content is static, the...

Sure a great individual philosophy, but some people also worry about why we 1/3 the player base we did when the game was more D&D like, more new player friendly, and less parties full of zergers...

More people played the way (s)he likes than the number of people that play the way it is played now.



MRR, PRR, blanket immunity, immunity bypass, epic HP stances. The game has really become a...

The OP described what was different.

Did you read it?

Cordovan, you should get these two on the PC. I know SSG is doing lots and has their plate full, but you would benefit from discussing and implementing some of the things these two will suggest, or...

I'm guessing it's the logic of why you are totally unwilling to follow the advice you give others that is irritating, leaving you nothing other than really weak attempts at personal statements.
...

I think SSG can do whatever they want if they make rewards accumulation sustainable - meaning anyone that wants to play frequently and spend a reasonable amount of money can get to the same place...

You can recapture the important RP very quickly, using all the methods you tell everyone else to do.

Don't like taking your own medicine?

You don't want to work for those easy points that...

SSG has shown they are not capable of such sensible design - the player base requested no or very small buffs in reaper, and we see how that turned out.

When it comes time to release their...

SSG doesn't create balanced systems. When you lack the design ability to do so, or when you intentionally choose not to, you have to abandon old systems.

I think we are all glad you had so much...
