DDOGamer: Iconic Heroes

[Ape_Man]

Oh, I haven't been active in the forums long enough to have acquired the distaste for him that some seem to have, I was just noting his chosen name and pointing out that Australopithecines aren't known for their deep thinking.

Give it some time, you'll grow to hate me.

I'm really of mixed emotions regarding the upcoming expansion. I'm not hating the idea, and I'm certainly not riding the Gloomtrain a lot of people seem to be on lately, but this last update seemed to have more than the usual number of glitches attached to it. The expansion promises sweeping changes that will inevitably bring their own bugs problems. I'm worried the expansion will leave the game buggier than a Thri-Kreen orgy.

Why level 15?

If Ebberron is dead (wait wasn't the very last update Eberron ah nvm) why not make low level FR content?
.

My guess is that they will try to slowly wean us from Eberron. They probably went with 15 because designing enough 1-14 content soley in the Realms would be a gigantic time sink for them and a FR 1-14 expansion would only sell with a % of the player base (many would be content to do 1-14 in Eberron).

Start at 15 and there is far less content to create. . .

IDK,

when I first read Glins Happy Birthday post, I assumed that the iconic heroes would be an unlock of some sorts (kind of like death knight worked in WoW). My assumption was that you would have to achieve something relatively mundane but represent time spent in the game, such as cap a character, then gain access to enhanced builds. My hope was that they would be roughly on-par with multi-TR builds in power (but never exceeding them).

Anyway, that is probably nothing like the system that will be implemented.

edit: maybe they would even have signature equipment, with a feature we've been asking for: equipment that levels as you do!

Just to be clear, that is not a feature I am asking for.
