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

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.

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

Hey theres times to change it or add more stuff!

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!

coding is extremely difficult in video games with a 3d world engine and massive online players. Asking for bug free or even near bug free is just not viable. Mainly this depends on how few gliches/bugs the game had on release. See coding is like repairing from what existed and if the original product was bugged than the coding is basically working with a broken product and patching/rigging along the way. Sometimes it become a catastrophe when you have coded so far deep and realize a problem that has been plagueing a system for so long is now almost impossible to repair without major overhauls and 60 hour work weeks filled with caffeine. Show me a problem that has existed for years and ill show you an unfixable bug. At least one that cant be fixed without hours+money.

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.

I would be perfectly happy, in fact overwhelmingly happy since update 6 is already written, if update 7 contained nothing but:

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.

Mem is so spot on again and without visual aids

Mournlands is doing a pitiful job as usual. If it actually exists anymore.

How many bugs must be pointed out on Lamaland ad nausem, a preview server, before somebody will say....

"Hey, maybe something isn't quite right"

Seriously, if they want feedback but aren't willing to delay a release based upon a multitude of bugs/glitches/exploits they should just admit it. The process is broken. Why there aren't multiple tiers of QA no one can fathom. It's beyond embarassing at this point.

But "There are no bugs in DDO". Well it worked for lag for a while...

Hopefully the pre-Lamania testing improves immensely, as I don't think the Lamania server testing is used for bug fixing before launch.

[D-molisher]

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

[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.

[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.

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

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).

[Ashiel_Dragmire]

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!

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

[Alabore]

1: Armour Appearance Customisation Options ofcourse! (doh!)

Would love it.

Also, gear-related, consider tweaking guild augment slots so they won't prevent unguilded chars to equip item.
Actually, consider tweaking all items so they can be fitted with slots in guild forges/altars, and guild status dictates largest aug gem that can be mounted - not the other way around.

Right now carrying guild-required gear can be a bit dangerous; **** the wrong officer and you risk being locked out of your slotted gear until you find a new, high level guild.
