I just finished a skype conference call with a few OLD gaming buds, (1 of which works for WOTC), the main topic was what was seen at pax east & future stuff for DDO.
We all have been playing DDO for a while now & we agree that all the development you people have made is AWESOME. As we were versed on the new content you're releasing in April, we couldnt help but be TOTALLY thrilled to see mid/ high level content, that is bringing some of the most under achieving monsters we have, to be brought to the forefront, (Beholders, Mind Flayers etc)
The crafting system you are bringing us is going to make a lot of people very happy, (I have several items that are in need of a serious overhaul).
I have recently reconnected with a few mod 6 players, and as I gave them a tour of Stormreach, and all the updates you've made, they were blown away! As I was explaining stuff, I realized how much us older players take all you've done for granted.
The mini-event you gave us with the kobolds is about the most entertainment we've ever had from npcs' & monsters. (Can you give us some back story on which staff members helped with the voices & speech?)
I was also surprised to hear that there are going to be some major changes to the UI, I couldnt get much detail from my friend, but he said the updates are going to push DDO's AI over the top for mmos.
So, GREAT job on an awesome game, and we are looking forward to seeing the "Taken" in the game, (sounds way-cool)!
PS, can we get a larger cursor?
