A sneak peek at Update 24’s dungeons … and beyond

[memloch]

I do like the quest choices. I would prefer that the heroic versions be lower. I find that I am bored of the quests in the lvl 9 - 12 range and would love some new content.

[Bargol]

I was saving TP to buy update 24's pack....now I know I can save them a little longer until update 25.

Xoriat really? I think you have the data wrong. They are probably the least favorite quests, and only run for xp/min on the ones you can invis zerg.

I always skip them unless I really need xp at those levels.

[silisav]

Kudos for ToEE. I eagerly await for this!
Its a shame you pushed back Anauroch. I was really excited about this and I hope it becomes implemented soon.

Xoriat is kind of meh... So I really hope it is worth getting it but I doubt it ...

As other people said previously you need to release more lvl 10-13 quests or boost the xp of the available ones because it is really tough to get xp at that point. Quests over lvl16 on the other hand are overly saturated.

[Monkey-Boy]

Moar... xoriat...? You mean, you're actually gonna give me something I've been asking for?

I'm at a loss for words. Thanks! YAYYYYYYYY

If they made the other Madness packs epic it'd be even more amazing.

[PsychoBlonde]

I cannot even communicate my enthusiasm for ToEE. I've been running players through T1-4 for over 20 years now and this announcement just thrills me like no other Turbine announcement before.

It's a cool module, but in original format it was Greyhawk, not Forgotten Realms. Are they going to refit it for the Forgotten Realms? Mentions of Zuggtmoy are going to be a bit weird in FR.

Epic Hound of Xoriat?

10-13 is some of the fastest and easiest exp in the GAME because that's when you run Shadow Crypt and Vault of Night flagging, not to mention Red Fens, Dreams of Insanity, Sands sides, Tempest Spine, the Vault of Night RAID, etc. So this is plain nonsense.

[Blackheartox]

If the temple was at that range I might even be willing to break my no realms rule and play it.

Dont know why some people are so against realms.

I like them and personally im sad that they cant get licence for neverwinter and baldurs.
A robot free world with proper storyline when d&d wasnt tainted.

[catouse9]

I am so excited for the Temple of Elemental Evil- That was a hard module back in the day.... really really hard!

[The_Human_Cypher]

Ok, on break so had a chance to look into the tyranny of dragons thing... now i'm really, really hoping we get to see Tiamat in DDO - come on, she's THE iconic evil dragon of D&D!

This f2p Cult of the Dragon quest (CR 30!) for Update 24 is an encouraging sign that we will eventually see a Tiamat raid or story arc completing with Tiamat. Why else would they have made this quest?

[The_Human_Cypher]

While excited a little you will probably ruin it in my eyes.

1. It should be greyhawk and if it's in the realms it's ruined for me I don't do the realms Eberron would be as almost as big an insult to it but no so much I would try it if not for 2.

2. You will make it end or near end game when it shouldnt be and then evening you made it in greyhawk I wouldn't be likely to touch it

I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread that TOEE might HAVE to be in Greyhawk. Where would the quest be placed in the Forgotten Realms and still have accurate lore for that part of the DDO World? Turbine and WoTC don't want to mess up their Forgotten Realms campaign area with inaccuracies as everything has been lore appropriate so far.

WoTC will also probably let Turbine take only so many liberties with its IP. We may instead to access the Greyhawk universe via a 'Beyond the Rift' type pre-quest or entrance - one that doesn't have to be flagged for before entering.

I think DDO may - or at least they should - create a mini-Greyhawk universe in which to place TOEE so that the Forgotten Realms campaign world remains consistent. I'm not sure if WoTC would even allow Turbine to place TOEE in the Forgotten Realms.

the temple of elemental evil is in GREYHAWK not the realms!
But i agree i too would prefer a robot free fantasy world but i undstand why everyone plays bladeforged now-It really shoudl freak out the realms folk though i would think?

Because they are boring and exist

[Lare]

I loved temple of elemental evil. Since it was originally a Greyhawk mod does this mean we will be traveling to greyhawk

I hope your right and I also hope it isn't ruined by being made epic level

They aren't robots and they retrofitted the forged into the better they were nuked and forgotten realms

[arcane_nite]

this is so awesome! I hope they use the entire adventure.

If dev time and art resources are slim, DDO can even put the entrance to Greyhawk / TOEE in the Hall of Heroes. All the devs would have to do is create a door.

A player entering the Hall of Heroes Greyhawk portal would walk out into the Village of Hommlet (created from Eveningstar art resources), get the quest in a tavern in Hommlet or elsewhere (I don't remember what happens in the module) and then walk up the road to TOEE.

If the devs and art department have more time, they can put the entrance to Greyhawk / TOEE behind some shrubbery near Eveningstar and then the players are magically transported to Greyhawk a la 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.' Or players can touch the monolith from '2001' and then be teleported to Greyhawk.

A separate Greyhawk world should be made not only to keep everything lore consistent but also to pave the way for 'White Plume Mountain' / 'Tomb of Horrors' being released as the classic module in 2016 / 2017.

[Oxarhamar]

I loathe Anaurock beyond belief

Sorry Uska. One players prejudice against all things realms doe not equate to feedback representative of the player base.
