Can we get an update on what is going to be happening in epic 3bc?

Hey Turbine,

Since E3BC is still a few months off and people or working on the early-middle stages, any chance we could get an update of what you guys were thinking for it? We don't need specifics, but a few screen shots or proposed weapons/bosses would sure help keep me interested.

Specifically:
1) Raid?
2) How are you changing the quests to make them not just heroic + more HP for mobs?
3) What new items were you thinking of? Are we going to get an improved sky pirates dagger and scoundral's longsword, or are we going to see new stuff (can we please get a rare cosmetic drop called the "Garl's Tomb Raider")?
4) Are we adding a little shard-kobold at the start to teleport us to the quests?
5) Please tell me that the raid from 1) is an epic fight across several air ships where the part splits, and a few ships have to shoot enemies like in Space Invaders and the rest of the party has to play music on an organ like in Goonies?

Actually, just port Goonies as the new raid. Maybe there can be a Chunk whistle (candy bar?) to summon him?

Also: "slick shoes" would be the greatest item ever for misanthropes who play DDO.

Check Lammania updates next month near the end.

As a Player Council member I can't give you any specific, now since we have been asked feedback on that specific topic ( Epic 3BC ) it is way way too early to answer most of the questions. ( A few could be answerered, but I have that NDA collar that keeps reminding me that I'm not allowed to give specifics ) Nothing has been coded yet.

Though I can answer the last one...by asking a question, Space Invaders is IIRC still an Atari Copyright... Do you really want Atari involved again in DDO ?

I'm in the same boat as Flav, so can't talk about anything I know, and am pointing out that my comment below is purely speculation on my part.

I seriously doubt there will be a raid, it's a pack like Sentinals and Partycrashers getting put up to epic levels to give players more variety in the high levels. They didn't just make up raids for them, so I feel pretty safe in assuming they're not going to make a raid for this.

They are going to make all of the quests epic. lol
