A REAL VIP perk

[HarveyMilk]

Reduce all timers by half or two days for VIP players. This would make VIP the hardcore option it should be. Lots of people really only like raiding in this game, and this would be a real win-win change.

Edit:

Upon reading the lack of support for this, I'm sure mostly from non-VIP players, I think the answer is to give a DDO store Premium option also. For 350 TP you buy something that turns off all your timers, raid/epic etc...

This gives micro-transaction players a higher quality option, which is what they always want, and lets VIP players use it too if they want to go on a raid/epic binge themselves.

Don't we want more control over our gameplay?

[Jay203]

no thx
that kind of benefit isn't exactly appealing for ALL players
paying a monthly fee so you can grind faster instead of less?

I already have a vip / premium account, but today I waited 3 hours to try to get logged in to my %!@*& server because it was too bloody crowded. How about they guarantee VIP account access to a login no matter HOW many people are on the server. THAT, imo should already be in place.

/no way pls

it already is in place as i recall, vips get higher priority in the login queue....but what happens if there are 10000 vips in queue, well at any rate its not that the sever is acually full its a known bug that has been around for a while.

Turbine can not in good conscience add any new perks to VIP accounts after they convinced many subscribers to convert to premium and new players to choose it initially for the last half a year and then some. The backlash would make the one regarding U5 look quite mild in comparison.

Your server wasn't full. That is a bug that affects VIPs, Premiums, and F2Pers alike.

/not signed. Great way for Turbine to lose their premium player base completely.

[HarveyMilk]

I can't believe more people don't think this is a good idea. Premium players wouldn't have to be left out. Maybe there could be a TP purchase for the same effect.

[Relenthe]

but then it wouldn't be a vip perk would it? vip perks are something that premium players can't buy, such as being able to unlock adventures on hard from the start

[Scalion]

I think that would be too big a bonus for people and many premium players who basically bought all the content outright instead of paying a monthly fee would be extremely upset. Some players would rather 200 dollars upfront and own all the content instead of paying 15 dollars a month to get a free pass that expires if you don't pay. Nothing wrong with either method.

/no

I'm not a big fan of raids, don't really see them as much of a deal. So it doesn't really give me any more value.

Your reasoning justifies why you don't care about the proposal. Your reasoning does not justify "/no". Not that any of our opinions matter (it's Turbine's opinion that matters), but there's a big difference between "/no" and "/shrug whatever, it doesn't affect me".

You don't care much for raids, and that's fine for you. There must be other things in the game that you do care for (or you wouldn't be here, right?)... perhaps there are others that don't care for them or, at least, not with the same priority that you do. If you want an improvement, that someone else can't find flaw with (no unbalance as a result, no inconvenience to anyone who can just not take advantage of the improvement if they choose), would you prefer they reply "It won't help me, so i'm against it" (which is what your "/no" says), or would you prefer they silently move on to the next thread?

The guild renown system may not have been designed poorly enough to totally destroy guild social cohesion. It may be necessary to desynchronize raid timers to totally ruin it.

Therefore, we'll probably see it next update.

This. Having timers of multiple durations for the same raid causes situations with other players in the raid group that make it hard to adventure together. Not to mention the odd situation where you complete a raid the day before your sub runs out, forget to update the card on file, your card expires and your VIP account isn't renewed. Do they use the regular timer or the VIP timer to determine when you can do the raid again?

[Goldeneye]

Ouch, that would be awful,
I went premium, and put down $100 to buy everything I wanted.
I would not be happy if VIPs got lower raid timers.
