Was Ghallanda affected by release notes?

[kamimitsu]

Sure the excitement of pulling a ridiculous weapon will be gone (no doubt I'll FINALLY pull a WoP a week after Mod9 drops), but I think the necessity for so many different weapons will make for more "hey, that's pretty decent" moments, which have been kinda rare as of late. I'm not sure which is better. I'm leaning toward the latter, at this point.

I suspect many folks, like myself, went through their inventory recently to see how many trans/PG or holy silver they had (in addition to keeping an eye out for bludeoning/etc.). I found a few gems that I had squirreled away, and picked up a nice sickle on the AH for my rogue (sorry to whoever posted it for such a cheap price... early bird gets the worm, I guess). I'll be back to having serious inventory issues on my halfling assassin, no doubt. The AH and trade forums will almost assuredly be fairly busy for the next few weeks as people adjust their inventory. That, in some respect, is something exciting to look forward to.

All in all, I'm optimistic about the Mod9. Ring crafting may make up for a lot of the concerns we have regarding weapon changes. The named loot may be well planned to address some of the issues (one can hope, at least). My only real gripe is the lack of HiPS for Assassins (for flavor, if nothing else), which I've vented about to anyone who will listen. But, I'm nearly over it... I think.

We still have mauls and WH and stuff for Sor`jek and the Abbott so Min II / Transmutating nerf don`t bother at all save for all the larges i lost in it! Min II is still great most of the time so no big deal.

As for WoP i don`t give a d@mn even though i have 3 of them, Strong built don`t need them. Gimp one does!
So yeah "flavor of the day" builders will have to go back to the drawing board but we the others won`t!

The only thing that im really looking for is the supposed "monk nerf" wich i have`nt seen any news about. I was waiting for that before splashing monk into my new cleric built.

i'm Too Awesome To Be Affected By Some Little Weapon Change.

My Secret Weapon Is Rhynn, Who Is Not Being Nerfed In Mod 9.

Guys, I know this is not the right place but as a last resource I will make some posts at loaded posts, we need your vote at escapist, 20 votes behind, and this is the only way now to promote a game that Atari dont want to promote. We can make this change, we can make Turbine look at us with different eyes. Please dont troll me, I am just trying to make things better, if you dont agree simply go to next post.

I was only really disappointed with two things:

1. The transmuting nerf really hurt my off handers. I had a very nice one I paired with my MinII and one waiting in the bank to pair with it once I got Tharne's Goggles. Both of those are pretty worthless now but it just means I need to craft another MinII. Not a big deal.

2. I was really, really, REALLY hoping the dev's would change the Rogue Capstone before the release notes came out. I haven't read a single post about capstones that doesn't agree the rogue's is ridiculously inferior to the others. Well, that's wrong, I did read one post from someone who thought it was better than the Ranger's...and that came from a ranger.

Speaking of rangers, my last concern, and it's more of a joke than a concern, is the clear favoritism Turbine is showing to Rangers. Rangers are already one of the most common classes in the game and now that they are the unchallenged champions of dual wielding and ranged combat (both on the same character!), I think we're just going to see and explosion of ranger players.

Good for rangers, bad for DDO. :/

Other than that, none of the changes really bothered me much. I've never liked stat damaging so I traded my two wops weeks ago and I never made a res clickie. The fact that I'm usually on the RECEIVING end of a res clickie will hurt me more than the clickie users.

You do know Rogs and ftrs are the kings of dps right?

I'm unconcerned. The loot gods hate me anyway, so I never pulled WoPs, and I was going to be damned if I spent that much money on them, so I've always made due without. (I i do have some wounders, or puncturers, but...) Honestly, I prefer vorps. I know that Venn, with dual vorp kopeshes is pretty danged deadly.

About the loot drops... who knows what they are introducing loot wise in the next mod. I'm sure that there will be some changes that will make some other random drop just as crazy valuble as WoPs were. Nobody panic, we won't know what is going on until the mod hits.

You do know Rogs and ftrs are the kings of dps right?

Nope. It's the Bardarian.

WRONG. DPS king is the mo.. mon... mo... mahunk... crud... my keyboard won't let me even type that correctly.

I'll vote Bardarian. Half-Orc Bardarian of course.

[Return_To_Forever]

in come the hackers with thier broken bardarians and muhunks!

[MondoGrunday]

You don't know Cold, thats your issue not ours. If you don't understand what he is saying it is because you are in the forums of the wrong server. GTFO.

wrong server? perhaps you should GTFO, since you have no clue

Shenanigans! It's the Frankenstein builds! They're everywhere!

You play on this server and don't know Coldest? Who has no clue?

[MondoGrunday]

in your own little mind perhaps....

I never heard of you either dude. But I know Coldest.

[MondoGrunday]

that's odd, being in the same guild and all. i know several katet that i group with frequently and have the utmost respect for. just not accel. i grew out the popularity contest somewhere in 10th grade. you will enjoy the freedom when you get there.

There is no popularity contest going on. Anyone who has been playing end game on this server for more than 6 months would know Coldest. Welcome to Ghallanda! Now GTFO.
