I for one, approve of this thread necro.

Still a good idea.

This needs to be bumped its to good an idea to let die.

Great idea. I'm glad you bumped it, as this is the first I've heard of it

This is a great idea, with plenty of applications in other areas of the game not just Epic vale and solves the problem of not enough to do at cap, if they open up all raids to include some augment crafting or epic-ify some older raids to have this augment element as well, without invalidating existing epic loot, (more or less post-MotU loot.)

In the wake of the Producer's Letter...this deserves a MAJOR bump and attention.


This idea is too awesome to let go away.

No its not, its terrible idea of power creep of about that at least quadruples DPS of all characters.

Once in a while I feel charitable, today I will share my latest brilliant idea with you mammals free of charge.

Okay . . . we all want Epic Shroud with Epic Green Steel.

BUT . . . Turbine just released a new pack with two raid with craftable weapons. If Turbine did make Epic Green Steel they would either need to make it weaker than Thunderforged, in which case nobody would bother, or stronger which would invalidate the Thunderforged content. One way or another BOTH options are bad.

Where Turbine has gone horribly wrong since MOTU is loot isn't worth the pixels it's printed on since almost everything gets invalidated and update or two later or was complete garbage in the first place. Every update makes the end-game smaller instead of larger, this is a terrible way to do this.

The 'old' Turbine didn't do this. Pre-MoTU people were still running Titan, Reaver, VOD, HoX, etc . . . for loot because though newer loot was available the old raids still had stuff worth pursuing. Even LoB didn't invalidate Green Steel, it's added to the game instead of making it smaller.

The last thing the game needs right now is to be made smaller . . . so how do you add Epic Green Steel to the game without making the loot that came before it worthless?

The answer is Green Steel AUGMENTS and not items. Instead of making a Epic Lightning II Khopesh you'd make a Epic Lightning II Red Crystal that would add the Holy/shock/shock/Lightning Strike to whatever weapons you slot it in.

Same with items . . . Blue or yellow Crystals. Slot Con-op into a slot on one of your other items.

This solution will give people something to grind for WITHOUT INVALIDATING ANY OTHER CONTENT. Makes the game larger, not smaller.

So there it is mammals. I have many other brilliant ideas that can save DDO but the rest aren't free. But as always, my rates are reasonable.

this actually makes a lot of sense, that said we know sense is not a part of this game thus far it will never be implemented =/

Now that i think about it a bit more, I'm pretty sure if the augs gave the WHOLE bonus of the GS, they'd be op. It'd be better if they instead gave just some of the bonuses, likely the Tier3 dualshard and another.

Slapping 3 augments that grant Holy/goodburst/goodblast/super disruption into a set of adamantine knuckles would be a bit broken, no?

(6d6 + 3d6 + crit + crit +18d6 vs undead + triple disruption (450 damage on vorp))... a bit.

If they'd give such OP augments, the next gear they will produce willhave to instalkill everything it hits to be worth of collecting. too mcuh power creep, too op bad idea

Adding Min 2 on Thunderforged would be an extra 1% dps.
Adding Lit 2 on Thunderforged would be an extra 5% extra dps.
Adding Crushing Wave would be redundant because we already have that augment.

But we would be basely breaking even due to giving up and unslotting the Ruby Eye of X.

At best, we would add every kind of guard effect on our gear. Which would be a "free" 30 DPS on builds that do over 2000 DPS.

If Turbine were smart, they would make +18 Weapon Enchantment bonus augments since this would make even dead content weapons viable again by upgrading garbage items into niche items, while adding LESS damage than a Ruby Eye would add.
