I do not see much reason to play longer then 2 weeks next update.

I have to level up my characters to 28 and use the lesser heart on my characters which should not take long other then I have a lot of characters beyond that not seeing much reason to play. No raid, shoddy loot this update, true reincarnating makes little sense until they fix things, epic xp is going to take forever and a day to get with this new dun robar repeat quest xp nerf and the devs not making it easier to get epic xp until at least the update when they put out some sort of epic xp bump. For an expansion bleh. My playtime is down by like 65% of what it was and after a two week bump seeing it become even less next update. Give me some weapons/items to go for at least something come on devs.

Agreed, I don't play nearly as much today. And won't during this expansion probably.

QFT.

I will try the expansion out, the new quests but I'm not sure what else should I do after that. There is nothing that keeps me playing.

Items are random ****, the Quest Ransack XP makes me wanna throw up, my Sorc is hugely being nerfed, my rogue will have 0 new toys to play with. There is no endgame raid anymore, eGH is not fun after 5 months.

I find in funny that you should state that when the second part has not been shown yet so you have no idea what loot it may or may not contain

Check the Items section of the Lamannia forums. The chest loot was posted for the quests that we haven't seen.

Given that the devs didn't post the end reward loot in the Wheloon threads, there still may be those from the Stormhorn quests.

I agree that no new raid is very disappointing but about playability, if you play anything for 16 hours a day you will get board of it very quickly no matter how much new content is added. DDO is a game not a career choice unless your a dev.

And where did everyone state that they (us) play 16h/day?

Most of you hard-core players play 5-8 hours a day,... I know madmatt does (or did).

No game can keep your attention for that many hours a day for years and years. Well, not for normal people, anyway.

Turbine needs to release a couple of uber-powerful weapons that will take 1000 hours of grinding to get and people like madmatt will stick around.

But why shouldn't people be allowed to play 5,8, or even 16 hours a day?

I thought the eSoS was the uber powerful weapon that took 1000 hours grinding to get? Or the epic Red Dragonscale (back in the day). Or the epic Helm of the Red Dragon. Those were all really good ideas on the raid loot front, and took many hours of game time to grind out.

Since then, I can only think of the eChrono set as a similarly 'mega powerful' item that took a large investment in time to grind out.

Those who couldn't invest the time to grind out those items just whinged that they could never get them, and as a result we now have "thin" content. Was that a good idea? I guess we'll know eventually...

I am an all or nothing player in the game of life. When I played rugby hard core I practiced and trained 3 hours a day. My body gave out so I could not play at the level that I had and/or train anymore what was necessary to maintain that level so I quit. My job I can only work 40 hours a week because they will not allow anything more, but I work my butt off every day and try to do what 2 or 3 people can do in the time that I work. That is the type of person that I am - I do not like half-***. There are all sorts of personalities that play this game so who are you to say that DDO should embrace one type of personality or another.

Here DDO is producing less content then it did in the past and you are defending them - what gives?

Ummm, what? Did I miss something? Quite possible since Dev Tracker's broken...

Why on earth should you need to be level 28 to LESSER reincarnate? Pretty sure the Lesser +20 they're giving out can be used at any level. It would completely stink for multi-tr's that get hosed at say level 14 when the update goes live.

[Varthalos]

Wait, no new raid? Are we sure that's the case?
