"+3 Stat Tomes available 10/7-10/13"

I have disagreed that Turbine is making DDO pay to win until U11.

After U11 I have been trying to justify the changes by looking for the lack of using the available tactics in game.

Now I have no argument against the statement. You are killing the game guys.

Never EVER sell power, or you create a gap between players that earn their toon and players that break out the plastic. I understand you are in it to make money, but players like me see this is a lazy attempt to make a profit.

Coming next month in DDO store:
- limited time epic scrolls/seals/shards
- Large shroud ingredients and FRDS
- due to many requests from community we intoroduce +3 tomes permanently into ddo store!

[Drekisen]

The time of the ViP is over....the time of the Store has come....where is the White Rider and the Sword of Elendil when you need them......oh yeah, they are in Turbines other game that actually works

Proving once again that LotRO is cruelty free and does not test on game players and DDO is the Proctor-Gamble of the MMORPG industry

I could not agree more with u toastee, this is a slap in the face to all the veterans that have earned through countless runs of raids that still to this day drop at a very low rate "raid loot". Also after 20th completion a chance of recieving a +3 stat tome, which most of the time u either dont get or its not for a stat that u want anyhow. Yes i agree i would rather grind it out and feel accomplised even in a minor way of getting a +3 stat tome for a 20th completion. i am not a fan of ever giving away in game items from the ddo store. It makes for poor players not financially but in skill. Why learn to be good and complete raids when u could just buy the items from the store.. goodbye DDO welcome to Diablo2.... where anything in game is just a credit card away....

I'm a bit peeved by this as well. I can handle the micro transaction aspect that we've had since F2P, but +3 tomes is quite a bit overboard. +2 tomes are relatively easily attainable in game, so I'm not gonna gripe about those being in the store. But +3s you only get with hard work and/or a healthy dose of luck. Period. And that's how it should be. +3s and +4s should be bloody hard to obtain, not purchasable with a CC.

grumble, grumble, **** and moan.

[charease]

totally free = 2 charecters, very limited gold, 1 auction use per day no cool content ( except events you A) cant expect to work right, B) start when they are supposed to, C) have enough bandwith you'll be able to move, D) might get banned for having a ddo account.E) Have enough time to casually play it.)

Pay to play can get all the benfits of the vip except unlock on any difficulty or play a pack 3 days earlier.The way to go if you like to own the full game....especially since turbine likes to take away from vips.

VIP-very Idiotic Person ( myself included ) unless your new to the game and didnt own any content then its a decent deal, you get to rent ddo content, ( expect turbine to change their minds on what you actually get since your a guaranteed check you get screwed first.) so when you see your'e getting screwed you can walk away.

I am hoping for great entertainment from the outcome of this. The possibility is most definitely there.

This will prepare new and unskilled players alike for epics and end game.

+3 tomes and welfare epic gear for everyone! Hoooray!

I wonder how many people with 10 con will buy these. As long as the " I got kicked out of group because of X" threads don't stop the sale of +3 tomes doesn't bother me.

i am totaly against the sale of +3 tomes in store yes its great for those that can afford it. theres no need to run the 20 shrouds / reavers/ hounds / vod's on the offchance you might acualy get a +3 no need to store it in your bank incase you tr

whats next +4 tomes sale only 2500 turbine points then we wont have to run tod

or 1000 xp for just 25 tp use as many times as you like (acualy thats a good idea)

Well, if you don't like actually playing the game, why not just pretend you have all these things already and save the cash?

Guess you never heard of HOrc eh?

'The ability to buy and eat a +3 tome is insignificant compared to the power of buying and rolling a HOrc' - Darth Vader

[OpallNotten]

I know I will not buy them.
+3's are Raid Loot......there should be NO option to purchase Raid Loot.

For those who opt to use the 'easy button'....
Those tomes will NOT make you a better player. <------Period!

I know it sounds crazy, but running those Raids 20-40-60 times makes you a better player.

The good thing about this:
Turbine is powered by the fans that open their wallets. When they open their wallets, we get new things in DDO. When they stop opening their wallets, we will notice that Turbine is not giving us new stuff as often.

The bad things about this:
lol there are so many

[broolthebeast]

No it doesnt, it makes you a more bored w/ the game player.

Ah, but it will make you indistinguishable from a better player, at least long enough to get you into the raid :-)

[fco-karatekid]

Forgive me a moment of optimism, but all the changes in the last 2 Updates (and maybe 9 to some extent) could also portend a level uncap and more powerful loot coming from those higher levels and their content.

Starting to develop the "lord of" story lines follows one of the main themes of Eberron, crafting previously rare loot in a relatively easy fashion (though grindy as all get out), etc.

If you think about it - commoditizing a formerly rare product with the emergence of alternatives that are in higher demand makes sense - although it usually FOLLOWS the emergence of the higher demand product.

[Praya20]

You would think if they were going to make +3 stat tomes purchasable even only for a short time, they would make other raid loot purchasable for limited time such as MC or SoS..... oh wait better not give them more dumb ideas

PLEASE IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE COMPUTER SCREEN - PERIOD!!

[CountHenri]

Guess I'm in the minority here but I dont see it as that big a thing...

Seriously so what if someone can buy +3 tomes? Is it going to improve their playing of the game? Does it OP their toons? Does it in fact negatively impact on me in anyway whatsoever?

Nope...

OTOH does it mean I can choose not to have to absurdly grind out multiple 20x completions of raids across a couple of TWF toons I would like +3 Dex tomes for in their final lives? Does it mean I'm free to take the bit of Raidloot I want after a 20th instead of agonising over it and a tome ~ both of which I may not see again for another 20+ runs? Does it give me the option to convert some cash that I work for into saving my limited gaming time for something enjoyable rather than a frustrating grind?

Yes...

Sorry but I just dont buy the whole "Pay to Win" thing ~ access to +3 tomes will have minimal impact on casual/newer players (except maybe freeing up some DEX points to be used in CON which I really cannot see as a bad thing) ~ theres more than enough grind in the game and anything that helps lessen it for longer term players is a good thing IMO...

Get your money ready! May the richest person win!

How?

Seriously how does the ability to buy a +3 Tome = win?

Anyone care to explain this concept to me since I honestly cannot see it...
