Not U9?

[Phax]

It's crafting isn't it?

come on you can tell me, no one else is paying attention...

Er...well...I've since come to realize there were two new pieces of new tech mentioned. One is in U8P1 (notice the new way you select what level to enter the live event quest at).

And the other, in U9 is ________.

As long as the new tech in U9 meets the criteria for "major hole in the feature list" (loosely quoting a Dev forget who it was).

If the "new tech" that fills a "major hole" in the feature list is actually something that makes a coder smile and high five each other, but will probably just makes players shrug (like the new way you select what level a live event is set at fer example Then it might be a good idea to temper our expectations now. I know how coders are, to a coder a new .05% more realistic RNG might be something to get excited about

I suspect you were being a little facetious and definitely don't want you to take the tone of this post wrong but if I'm misreading you by any chance: Yeah maybe a good idea to temper our expectations a little... I think it's safe to say that if a "major feature" in terms of MMO feature lists isn't added, you guys might have to listen to some pretty disappointed forum curmudgeons. (or maybe D&D feature?)

Still eureka, but you had me worried for a minute there when I caught that you had accidentally put 7 spaces instead of 8

This what happens when I do it right in notepad, but in my zeal to post it, I eyeball it instead of counting.

Edit: Fixed it.

And the other, in U9 is DRUIDS.

Cool awesome. Exactly what I wanted to hear. TY dev team. Just glad it wasn't crapfting. Phew.

The new tech that was mentioned is in U9.

This type of denial seems to indicate that the 'enchantable' and 'upgradable' is not new tech.

Due to the secrecy being displayed I have to suspect it is something that would allow people with foreknowledge to profit, therefore I assume it will be a type of crafting that will have us using gems in crafting recipes. I think I will start hording now. I realize it is just an attempt to sell huge gem bags on the DDO store tho.

No, it's probably going to use the collectibles system which includes gems. So keep all those collectibles.

Epic levels?

Druids?

Either way, I'm good... Lvl 25, here I come.

I already have huge bags for those and have been collecting for a while That would be great.

Actually when I wrote it I was thinking that one of the advantages of playing female characters is they come with huge bags... but I digress...

Sorry Druids is 6 letters

make fun of crafting all you want, but I want something to do in the game when I can't be in a quest, I'm so bored lately with the lack of news on the forums, getting my real life work done too early and the AH search feature has pretty much made the AH mini game no fun any more... The game needs more to fill it out and crafting is the biggest time sink that is missing from DDO.

Besides I had a Blacksmith in UO and when all was said and done it was the only character I missed when I left the game.

This is an patch with an event thrown in, Nowhere has turbine said any different. The one thing about it I would like to know is, Will this be an Annual Event.

Now have you noticed that most negative reviews of this are coming from 2009/2010 people. I guess we have to hold more than just hands.

Except the original poster is a 2007 person, so maybe not...

[~ArthurK]

The release notes are up highlighting the Live Events.

So I take it this is nout Update 9, correct?

<sigh> Only U8 patch 1 <sigh>

To me this seems a neutral statement with a wish, not really negative.
And I believe I said "most" not all

Your troll-fu is not strong.

I count six different posters with join dates of '08 or earlier, in this thread alone.

Also, not necessarily negative. Most of this thread has been focused on voicing disappointment. Personally, having not been able to get into Lama-land, I can't 'Review' anything. But I can say I was hoping for more than a patch.

Now, go back and find a premise that isn't false, and pick a different straw man to throw rocks at.

" I said neg responses not just posters"

"Again I said most not all, I to was hoping more for a Patch, but understand this event is for anniversary."

Now, go back and find a premise that isn't false, and pick a different straw man to throw rocks at.
"Now read What I said, not what you think I said, and find a premise that isn't false."

Ps. Here's your rock back.

Complaints coming from all sides I think.

My only big complaint is that we were thinking the next update would be Update 9, not patch 8.1, and noone from Turbine made any corrections to temper expectations.

At least it seems the Anniversary event will be more enjoyable than Mabar and will hopefully be a nice distraction while we wait for Update 9.
