    Default 32 point off the top?

    Will a new player be able to purchase 32 point character builds from the get go (sounds like they can purchase Drow or WF)?

    Will there be a purchaseable upgrade of existing 28 point characters to 32 point characters?

    Will those of use who ground 1750 favour get to keep 32 point builds?

    I don't see why not. If they were to make any change (which I'm not sure if they will), it would be to let everyone use 32 point builds.

    I hope new players can buy 32 points. That way I don’t have to look at all the silly drow running around the harbor.

    Hey, I'm one of those silly little drows running around the harbor...

    Besides, I like my drow sorc...

    But I digress. I do hope they allow you to buy 32 point unlocks for somewhat on the cheap.

    I just joined this game, and this is easily the #1 thing I hate about it, the whole 32 point build system unlock. If I can get it with the first 500 points of the first month of this new system being launched, I'd be a happy camper.

    I won't mind if they allow folks to buy 32 pointers from the start (and maybe even purchase +2, +3, +4 tomes?). I will be saddened if they do this without some sort of means for upgrading my beloved-created-just-after-the-servers-went-live 28 pointers (I still have two of them left, one my namesake and favorite character, the other reduced to mule status).

    Default Good question

    If they were to do this, as I stated in a thread I started, this would indicate to me the favor system is being revamped ... but no one from Turbine has commented on this yet.

    I get the feeling the players have asked some very detailed questions to which they do not yet have the answer or which they are not yet ready to tell us as we digest all the other news.

    I'm sure you will. They just turned the business model to pay 2 win mode. He who is willing to spend the most money will have the best advantages.

    Well, I've learned that there's no immediate plans to upgrade 28's to 32's and it's unknown if 32 pointers can be purchased at start. I don't see why not however, especially if they allow the purchase of drow at the start.

    Must be a delicate balance between pay to play and pay to win?

    Actually they can get a 34 point build.

    Good to go...thanks.
    (I'm not doing llamaland/beta because every time I've downloaded the test client it has corrupted my ddo client).

    Seems a bit unfair...but no doubt it will make them money, though.

    I'm pretty sure you just did...

    I hope they don't allow it to be bought. Takes away from one of the better achievements in the game. You can get capped and not have 1750 favor. I had 3 toons like that. I spent the other day getting another 700 favor to get 1750 on my 3rd toon, and felt pretty good about it...

    So...I definitely hope they DON'T allow it for purchasing. But that's just me.

    Vorn, This is Rowan's Zeff you can still accept beta but not do the dl and have access to the forums that are currently hidden from view. Just to let you know and maybe answer some of your concerns questions.
