Update 6 = The Win!

[AestorTheKnight]

Instead of posting in the "Bash Update 5 Thread" why dont you guys get inspired and post instead about all the awsome things youd like to see added to DDO in Update 6.

Heres my list of Suggestions for content for Turbine to develop for Update 6.

1: Armour Appearance Customisation Options ofcourse! (doh!)
2: New High Level Adventure Packs - Journey to Dolurh or Lammania to explore these realms. With a Raid!
3: Artificier Class.
4: A Crafting System that allows us to upgrade and customise Generic Chest loot with extra or unique enchantments.
5: Deepwood Sniper Pre.
6: PrE's for Favoured Souls.
7: Bard PrEs.
8. And lots lots more. Well maybe the other things can make it by update 7 or 8 ok...

Be constructive and positive - its more fun than being negative.

... With a Raid! ...

^- THIS


Its looking like a full calendar year without a new 12 man raid ... LAME

[oberon131313]

update 6 is more or less already done, because the quests were playable on llama.

[Trillea]

1) Gianthold Epic.
2) Bug fixes for all the bugs created in update 5.
3) Druids as a playable class to go along with all the life-and-plant-based creatures in the Fens.
4) +UMD added to the augment lists

Not necessarily in that order.

[D-molisher]

update 6 , well ...
You get new quests lvl 5-9.
ANd uhm !! more buggs .
Tryt see Lamannia - its already there.

Yeah I know! I mean Epic Von 6 and Epic ADQ2 are great! But a *New* Raid would be sooo cool! Something like The Titan Awakes, or like Accursed Ascension. Something to puzzle the players heads.

Hey theres times to change it or add more stuff!

[Memnir]

Whatever they put in U6... please, please, please do more to ensure that it's relatively bug-free prior to putting it on Llama. Because let's face it, chances are if it's broke on Llama, it'll be broke when the Update goes live. The most discouraging and demoralizing aspect of U5 for me has been the rampant bugs - and bugs that were caught, reported, and discussed weeks ago.

The content will be what it will be. I just ask that it work the way it should before it goes live.

I agree wholeheartedly! Enough of the sloppy design work folks!

Great thread idea. I especially like the yellow text.

Here are my additions:

1) Fixing teleport to be more in line with PnP. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=199940

2) Giving Geriatrus in the Tweleve the ability to teleport folks to Merdia. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=246521

3) Adding User Generated Content (well, maybe Update 7 or 8 as this would be a huge amount of work ). http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=254304

1. Wouldn't be horrible.
2. Yes!
3. Ehhh Druid first please.
4. Sure, why not?
5.YES!
6. Do they really need the pres now compared to clerics/bards/wizards/sorcs/monks/everything else without two t-3 pres?
7. Yes!
8. Don't delay anything that is fixed, and don't break anything thats whole.

I hate you all

[Symar-FangofLloth]

Well, since it's the odd updates that add systems, and evens are only quests, I'm willing to bet all we'll see in U6 is the Red Fens and some bug fixes and class tweaks.

It's U7 where the juicy stuff is at (not that Red Fens are bad).

[Fenrisulven6]

2) Bug fixes for all the bugs created in update 5.

This. I've never seen so much lag. Its like they displaced it all from the shroud to the rest of us.

[Ashiel_Dragmire]

2: New High Level Adventure Packs - Journey to Dolurh or Lammania to explore these realms. With a Raid!

I'd like to see these most of all, although the rest of it wouldn't be too bad either.

This, 1000% this.

I would be perfectly happy, in fact overwhelmingly happy if update 6 contained nothing but:

Bug fixes for update 5.
Bug free new content.

Turbine needs to stop with its 'get it out, patch it later' mandate - it is frustrating when new content comes out, is disabled, is hotfixed, and some of it is still not working almost a week later. Right first time - some companies swear by this - and have unwavering loyalty from their fanbase due to it.

It is possible, it can be done - release it when it is ready, not before.

1.) Text Search for the Auction House that works (Coding doesnt get much easier then this, 5 years and still nothing live)
2.) Bug fixes for update 5
3.) Bug fixes for update 6 because you know it wont work
4.) Bug free new content and quests for 15-20 that can be solo'd by at least 50% of the class base on casual.
5.) Have more then 6 different armor looks. It isn't 1995 8-bit armor graphics people are looking for.

Wizards and Sorcs get a damage dealing spell-like ability for free; no matter what prestige you are, where you are, what race you are, what gear you chose, etc... It'll be nice to do a little something to trash mobs when you dont want to burn valuable SP.

And DnD crafting: making scrolls, potions, wands, etc. All bound to account. With a simple system; you talk to an NPC. They give you a list of the types of crafting, spell levels, then the spells you know. You give up a number of the crafting item and some gold, you get your item.

Everyone would immediately buy shared bank, so they can craft for their other characters. No flouds of items on AH, because you cant trade them.

[AestorTheKnight]

I really cant believe sooo many people have been posting in the lame "Bash Update 5 Thread" all day long and bumping it to the top of this Forum.... Sigh... having 1 big pointless argument when they could have been talking about cool stuff here.

[azrael4h]

1 - Finish Bard PrE's. Bards get no love, and are a rarer class than Cleric in my experience, but are incredibly fun to play. I love my Drow Spellsinger. Give my Spellsinger II at least, to tide me over until U7 and Spellsinger III

2 - Either finish Radiant Servant III, or release another Cleric PrE. Maybe War Priest or something, or one which gives them more offensive casting capability (particularly at the period between 6 and getting Blade Barrier).

3 - More spells. Not picky on who gets them. I just want to actually have options on spell choice with my Sorcerer or Cleric. Since arcanes got a few new spells, Divine should get a few new ones. Bards need some as well, since they only rarely get a normal arcane spell here and there.

4 - I'm not picky on content, but keep the quality up on it. I just managed to find time to run into one of the new quests, but it was greatly enjoyable. Listen to your other players, and put some content at level ranges that are currently weak. Levels 5-7 is currently overloaded with good stuff to the point that you'll miss most of it on you're way to level 8-9 unless you've TR'd. So no more content there for awhile, put it up higher.

...Levels 5-7 is currently overloaded with good stuff to the point that you'll miss most of it on you're way to level 8-9.

Very good point. Even with my TR's I miss 50% of the level 6-10 content cos theres soo much of it, and most of it gives low xp.

DDO needs more High Level Content not Mid Level Content - I wish the Production Team would listen to the playerbase more.

[Icculus3k]

1. Fix current broken feats, skills spells.
2. Fix ranged combat to make it viable
3. Finish and add all prestige enhancements for all current classes (like to see this before implementing new classes)
4. Make FvS Feats (beloved of.., Child of...) qualifiers for feats that require things like weapon focus and spec.
5. Crafting, just Crafting. Needs a major overhaul imo.
