+1 loot? lvl 17 chests.? who r u kidding

[mabar_plow]

Just wanted to say to the devs. If you think this +1 loot from lvl 17 chests will attract players to come back. Your wrong. o wait a +2 chr ring with improved acid res min lvl 13 rr warforged or a +3 scimmy of vertigo +10 comon man who r u kidding lol Ive played since ddo first was launched and i must say it was actually funner in the game when not everyone had a vorpal and u werent expecting to get ubber items because of high lvled chests so when something like a para disruptor or vorp droped it actually impressed you. I think you guys have developed the game way to fast and are wondering why players are leaving.. I mean if you want to say it's +1 loot add something like flaming vorp or something man not this seeker +6 vertigo +4 junk knowone wants it and knowones gonna continue to play if you keep it up. This is the 3rd +1 loots weekend and i think by far the worst it's almost better to take the time to reroll a lowbie for the xp then to quest for lvl 17 junk :P

Maybe you should put down your can of Vienna Sausages and go outside. Play some catch with your kid sister or something.

Is there a point to this? So you had some bad rolls. Big deal and also it wasn't the +1 loot weekend that killed the economy. It was MOD 4(a.k.a. lootfest)

[Klattuu]

You are aware that what you get out of a chest is based on a die roll, right?

Chest level is just a modifier to increase your chances of getting better loot.

Level 17 chests are not a guarantee of a +5 Vorpal Bastard Sword of Destruction nor does it mean the chest won't contain mostly spell components, gems, and scrolls.

It's not the chest, it is the random factor tied to what's in the chest.

[Ranmaru2]

I wasn't aware that there were any lvl 20 quests in the game at the moment..The max level chests right now are about level 15/16 as the formula is the quest level minus 3.

[Jaywade]

also not everyone has a vorp either....

[Ithrani]

+3 scimmy of vertigo +10 :P

Since this is junk mind sending it to me for free... Vertigo +10 is an awesome weapon effect, and to have it on a +3 scimitar is even better cause 1. it is a+3 weapon and not a +1 and 2. It is a scimitar and not a less commonly used weapon. What are you talking about? You obviously do not know the value of an item, nor do you even understand how the loot tables work in this game. So please take it somewhere else.

you do realize this isnt a welcome back weekend right?

This is a hey sorry about the downtime loot weekend.

Deal.

everyone gets crappy loot rolls.

Yes, but the concept that the Duergar king and his retinue just fought to the death to protect a +1 lesser acid guard full plate of acid resistance is moronic.

They can't produce adventuring content fast enough, don't seem interested in adding things to do while not adventuring, so it's all about the loot after a certain level.

To that end 90%+ of the loot has to be sh*t. The "end game" is borked beyond reason. It's a joke.

Actually too much of the loot is good. As many have said before me this is a monty hall loot system that has WAY too many Vorpals, Paras, Distrupters, etc out there. As much as I also get a bit grumpy when I get a +1 bastard sword of useless vendor fodder, its better that than more vorpals drop.

In PnP we left behind much of what we found, vendored huge amounts of stuff we brought back in our portable holes/bags of holding, and felt lucky if we found one or two really nice things for each of us over the course of adventuring while levelling up from one level to the next. (And really nice might mean going from a +2 sword to a +3 flaming sword, I'm not talking vorpal drops, no way we would have a vorpal at only level 14!)

Drop the end game concept and you are fine. Have you capped? Great, time to either take a break or do the D&D thing and move on to your next char.

*wipes at her very tired eyes*

Ok, so my dice deserted me all weekend. I played my cleric, get a disrupter and it's a crossbow...

I play my ranger and the best she saw was a plus 5 con neck...

I play lowbies, and get excited over a great axe lol

I loved this weekend. While I may have horrible loot luck, I met up with friends, drank too much caffenine, ate too much junk food, got no sleep and wished I could take today off to recuperate...

And I enjoyed this one more than any of the others so far... I think it was just that all the people on were people who loved the game as much as I do...

WAIT... there is a couch in the office... Hmmmm

See ya in Stormreach...

What will be even more impressive is when most of the joe-shmoe mobs start "magically" becoming immune/resistant to these affects. With them all in such plaetiful supply, its not uncommon to have PUGs where 4 out of 6 party members have all the big 5 weapons. I think we will be seeing a whole lot more mobs making "deals" with their gods for immunity to instadeath weapons. Most gods bestow the immunity to vorpalling on their followers anyway, so no big deal.

[Vinos]

The "power 5" are overrated anyway. Banishing is junk. Smiting is cool as long as you have a good one. paralyzing is only OK(best is bows used by support types). Disruption and Vorpals have a use but limited for the most part. DPS is better for melee for the most part. The value on the power 5 has dropped to the point where the housing market looks great by comparison. I pulled a pair of +15 search goggles and I wouldn't trade it for any of the power 5.

lol sorry but this is a pointless thread. And thats exactly why im posting on it. =D. Everyoen has a streak where they get good loot rolls and bad loot rolls. Saturday was my time and i got 4 or 5 epics, 3 tomes, and bout 4 +6 stat items and i went to sleep smiling at only 3 a.m. Sunday i didnt pull anything at all and ended tryign to lvl my lowbie which is what these days are to me any way.

The maker of thsi thread only mention the loot but its the xp that really calls ppl out. First loot weekend got my first toon to 12 capped. Second loot weekend got my second toon to 14 capped. and this weekend i got my uhm fighter *cough* 1 rank. but besides the point =D. one guild on riedra has a motto. "Its not about the XP, its about the Experience!" and that is one of my favorite motto's in my game cuz so many ppl play this game on a competition lvl instead of fun. Maybe it should be " Its not about the loot, Its about the ..." someone can fill that in. =)

How about some Tasty Ham and a pair of tickets to an Orioles game?

QFT
This weekend (for me) was more about pillaging the XP bonus and pushing my lvl 8 to lvl 13 weeeeeee!!!!

[akla_thornfist]

I pulled 3 nice items all weekend, wizardry 5 helm, greater fire resist cloak and a +2 greater giant bane weapon thats it, am i complaining nope had a blast thats all that matters in the end.

[AEschyl]

yeah, these last 2 loot weekends were horrible, all i pulled was...

8 paralyzers, 4 smiters, 4 banishers, 4 disrupters, 2 vorpals and 3 +6 stat items

oh, and i only have 1 character


please give us a REAL loot weekend turbine, seriously, i think we deserve more.
