what DDO is missing.

I believe what DDO is missing is a conversion factor from plat to astral shards. And Astral shards to tomes in game. Let me hear your comments.

Gnomes.

meh, what are gnomes when you have little dwarfs and halflings. And no one likes goblins, they are basically kobalds.

I thought it had that, 4,294,967PP = 1AS. That's a joke, well sorta.

Plat to AS conversion. I can picture the exploits in the future.

cover the exploits before implementation.
I mean DDO does not have many exploits in contrast to other games, mainly because the population of this game is declining(P2w is a bad move for this game). Other than that I am certain that this implementation will be necessary if you want the game to grow in population and in looking for groups. If not implemented, then carry on until people realize they are buying 20 dollars often weekly just to be the best at gaining an achievement. I also believe the lag will soon be unbearable to play in, which will suffer more player base losses. All I am saying is to obtain some way of transaction where you can trade or buy the items at a reasonable price. I believe Astral shards are the way of the future for this game, and not using the implementation leads to a horrible decision of game devs.

What really took a turn on DDO was the removal of AC, by displaying that AC is no longer good even if high(I used to have a high ac monk build, that rarely got hit before the MOTU) anyways this is a side track of what I originally stated here.
All that I am saying if you want more people to play DDO and gain more of a population, have a conversion factor for trade using Astral Shards. And Allow those Astral shards to work in any type of item on the store whether that means to be able to buy Supreme +4 tomes with Astral Shards or buying a pass to get into a quest pack for a limited amount of time-- like 2-3 hours.

Although you could not implement this in later patches and still have the easy pay to win the game button, and lose more people playing. Or you can do this action and allow a reason to play this game, besides the fun quests.

I'd love an unleveled random encounter wilderness area that dropped chests based on the encounter rather than the character, but it would probably annoy most people. Low levels running into a L30 Red Dragon and L30s players running into a mess of kobolds and all that.

It'd be nice to have somewhere to go where you really didn't know what you were going to fight though.

Plz NO GNOMES!!!! Smelly little critters that should be exterminated!!!!

I think right now more then anything else the game needs a better server or code changed a bit to help the server. I know not all lag is DDO's fault but its amazing when there are 10 of us on the guild ship and we are ALL lagging. I think lag is what bothers most people especially new players used to running WoW with no lag issues

50 man raids.

Psionics.

The Tarrasque, if you think about it, the Tarrasque makes the MOST sense for a raid boss. I mean the lore states this thing always comes back. (Every 3 days right!)

Buy item like Stat/Skill tome, Tome of Legend, Shield Fragment etc from Plat AH & sell on ASAH /converted ^^

And Astral shards to tomes in game.

Buy Tomes from ASAH /converted

that's the thing, you cant sell items on the Shard auction house without either finding or buying shards. The current implementation is good, but an improvement is to have this conversion factor so that you dont have to buy shards or find shards, and instead makes plat a worthy contestant.

it takes 1 shard to sell an item( no gurantee that item will be sold)
give people more shards by having conversions let say 200k pp to 1-2 shards then people will actively use shards. As of now shards are more of rare and i bet not used often for trade or an auction house.

[FlaviusMaximus]

Plat to AS conversion. I can picture the exploits in the future.

True, but one doesn't need to look to the future when it comes to AS exploits. Whether it is duplicated items being sold on the ASAH or a more direct creation of Astral Shards, ASAH exploits in DDO are nothing new.

[Erdrique]

I would rather see new monsters, races, classes, and weapons instead of a conversion factor of platinum to astral shards myself. Give us some races whether it be the gnome, kobold, duergar, tiefling, whatever. Some new classes would be interesting to see as well and when was the last time we saw a new weapon?

[Connman]

Well if they really wanted to keep everyone busy for awhile they would add 1 feat,

MONKEY GRIP!

It would take a while for every build to find a way to use it.

[Livmo]

Gnomes.


Edit: Also goblins.

Don't go small, stand tall. With Giraffs!

We need at least another somewhat obtainable way to get a few shards in game so we can get on the Shard Exchange and post items. 1 shard as a Saga turn in reward? Just add another choice? Perhaps a 1 shard option for a raid's 20th reward list?

Mo Sharn!

I work this angel sometimes to get shards and/or plat for my ships.

I don't know whether to laugh at how absurd this is or worry that some dev might mistake it for a good idea. It is not, btw.

What is your justification it is not a good reason? Do you not want to see more people in game? Do you not want to have that pay to win button fully removed from your grasps and "Compete"?
--
I believe there is people who play this game for the fun, but that fun can only last so long as they do not notice their wallets are being drained.
--
I want to hear your justification over why this should not happen, I mean certainly in my stance. A game will survive so long as it has the influence of both markets of people ; free to play and people who want to play using money. This idea just evens the odds for people and in no way should limit any development of the game.

[Nefatron]

lol You know how mad people would be who paid that $200 usd for the guild ship???

Alot of us are already salty because they took away the discount for having previously owned a AS Guild ship.. (BTW THANKS FOR THAT TURBINE.. NEVER DID GET A CHANCE TO PROPERLY SHOW MY APPRECIATION FOR YOU GUYS WANTING ME TO PAY $200 ON TOP OF WHAT I ALREADY PAID)

But if all of a sudden you could turn a ammount of plat into AS then AS would be worth nothing... Cause plat is worth nothing.. I could sell 16 Mil a day.. or I can spend 16 mil a day.. kinda see what im getting at?
