    Default Eliminate Ship Buffs!!!

    I never dreamed when I was 1st playin that such a Gimmick could exist. 30 % resistance buff is what makes Elite dungeons(mid lvl and below) so Easy for the masses...I'm not to impressed with players who use them below 10th lvl.I been using my 20%ers ,hipacriticlly,to keep up with elite runners elem dam resistance.But I would love for them to Be Gone from the Game...or lvl limits for the resistance ones ,at least.Anyone who supports stupid airship buffs ,is walkin on a crutch of inadaquecy...How fustrating when last player joins your group,everyone at the entrance,and then player chat hits"can I have a ship invite" jesus fruit friggiin christ;often it is player, like 26th lvl in max destiny ,no less;what a joke.Real fair to new players too(sarcasim meter maxed)they are thinkin there are items to find to help run elite heroic;dont be to impressed newbs ;older players run the dungeon on crutches !

    This could be an idea.

    or a compromise, such as buff scaling, depending of level. Cuz I also disagree on +30 resists at lower levels. Could be a Lvl 1-5.. 5 resists... lvl 6-10.. 10 resists, and so forth.

    The XP bonus from the shrine should be passive if unlocked by the guild.

    The whole running around the ship thing is definitely a waste of time and I see no enjoyment in it.

    Having things like a banker, AH, etc, is cool, BUT then again, it makes it feel like nobody is playing the game ( I know very few are ), but it would help make it feel like their is more of a community, if they'd be doing their stuff in town instead.

    I don't understand why you guys want to dictate how everyone else plays? If you think ship buffs make quests too easy, by all means don't use them. But stop trying to play Mommy to everyone else. We can decide what we want to use or not for ourselves.

    They need to add an amenity that allows Level 100 guild ships to receive all ship buffs with one interaction with an object. Running around an airship to get buffed is redundant.

    I don't do permadeath - but respect those who choose to play this way.

    So if you don't like something - then don't do it. Just remember two things - put it in your LFM's (No Ship Buffs Allowed) and no caster will join since they have better things to spend their mana on than buffing, healing because you didn't buff, and raising because you didn't buff.

    To Clarify.. it is not 30% resists.. that would have been more balanced than 30 resist.
    a % resistance(absorption) is more balanced across the full level range for all players and still a desirable benefit.

    -30 resist is unbalanced for low levels when mobs don't do that much damage in total which means effectively you are immune to elements until mid levels... caster resist spells are worthless in comparison.
    -at levels 11+ casters can now cast the spell with the same bonus or use a wand so ship is just a non-dispellable bonus and time saver for casters
    -at epics, it is of little to no value.


    The resists are OP at lower levels and meh at higher ones..
    Elemental absorptions would have been a better option in regards to full range usability and benefit.

    Something like a 10% stacking absorption would go a long way over resists.
    It would eliminate the complete damage mitigation at low levels and apply some usefulness at endgame.

    Currently ship resists turn low level kobold molotov flame throwers into laughable opponents when they used to be formidable opponents requiring a decent bob and weave strategy when approaching.

    Again - so don't use them.

    Oh who friggin cares. With all the things broken with DDO worrying about how this break low-level play isn't even in the top 50 list of things that should be addressed.

    Seriously . . . who cares?

    Default Crabs in the bucket eh?

    Your poorly penned rant screams of jealousy for those who have worked for this perk in game.

    I agree they do provide a huge benefit at low levels. However, at this stage in the game they are completely unnecesary even at level one.


    They are not a crutch and for you to come on this forum and insult players who have worked for them is no fair and is indicative of an immature mind caught up in jealousy and unwillingly to work for the benefit yourself.

    At level 1 ship buffs with 30 resist, and +2 stat is essentially no different for an experienced/veteran player who stocks +4 stat potions and 10 resist pots.

    Your argument is so full of holes I could strain spaghetti in it. It is ONLY your opinion and you are doing yourself no favors by thinking this way.


    Go argue about haste potions at level one being OP or some other non-sense and stop insulting others.

    Very poor form but typical....so....elfing....typical...

    Dear OP, this is the solution to all your problems. Put up LFMs like this and you can play and enjoy the game in Depeche Mode

    Producers / Dev's have already confirmed they are looking into extending the amenities - adjusting some - adding others - AND adding an easy buff button...
