[Qhualor]

gnome Iconics. Just started my final lives on my characters, which means I'll probably want the past life and not done yet.

[Sunglaze]

I am really excited for the gnome race!

[FranOhmsford]

- A greatly improved random loot system?

Please tell me Sev's kidding? This is absolutely full of bugs! Makes many items of named loot utterly worthless and how exactly am I supposed to fit in all these Insightful bonuses while maintaining the absolute requirements like Heavy Fort {Don't get me started on the new Fortification numbers in low level random loot - That's the one specific are where named loot is unequivocally better than RNG!} and Resistance!


Oh and Please tell me that you're not going to release Gnomes looking like that - The Hair and Beard look like cheap costume wigs from a fancy dress shop! And the faces and bodies are way too similar to Halflings {Gnomes should be more like smaller Dwarves!}.

[Feagor]

Why gnome is shorter than halfling?
Gnomes stands between dwarves and halflings!

[Basura_Grande]

Wouldn't a producer letter be better if it told us more about what's coming next year than what happened in the previous year? I mean we were here for 2015.

[SableShadow]

"Greetings! I'm Severlin, Executive Producer for Dungeons & Dragons Online, and I'm writing today to update you on our plans for the coming months. "

I decided to read this in King Raiyum's voice as:

"Greetings, mortals! I, Severlin the Dread, Lord of the Game, Ultimate Ruler of Your Reality, Executive Producer for Dungeons & Dragons Online, declare my demands for the coming months!"





Gnome is good news; I've a couple old friends that might be tempted to come back just for that...

[Jiirix]

I am not happy with every decission the DEVs made and some bugs bother me, but all in all I enjoyed DDO in 2015 and think it was a lot of good new contend for year nine/ten. So lets get festive

- A greatly improved random loot system?

Please tell me Sev's kidding? This is absolutely full of bugs!

You are both right ... kind of. The new loot sytem still has some bugs that should be fixed and it IS a great improvement to what is was before. I vendored ALL random items before the pass and I keep some now. That is an improvement to me. (Don't you play any other game you can pick on by any chance ?)

[Daine]

Thank you to whomever did the gnome artwork!

[Cleanincubus]

Is this really the Producers Letter? This is everything we already know, expect for the Anniversary dungeon. What about stuff beyond U30... an Update that will be here in a month? How about some idea of what to expect for U31?

I understand you guys no longer like giving us a general idea of things coming in the year, because plans have been dropped the past 2 years. But these can't be the only concrete plans for the next 3-4 months. Come on. Give us something to be excited about for the future.

[Vooduspyce]

Svirfneblin!! That's pretty cool, I hope it's a good IPL. I would've liked to see more in the producer letter, but I am excited about what was there. Looking forward to the 10th anniversary event, cannith crafting pass and as much as I like to make fun of gnomes, I look foward to that too

[salmag]

GNOMES, finally...

One question:

Why is the Halfling as tall as the Gnome? Gnome's are skinny Dwarves. Halfling's are 1/2-humans. The Halfling should come up to the Gnome's shoulders.

The halfling is a completionist the gnome is a first lifer.




Conceptually I understand and like the idea of giving us more frequent producer's lettera, it really makes this letter feel short and light on information though.

So is the gnome/crafting update going to be like warlocks, no new quests? (other than the one anniversary quest which may or may not actually be part of the same update, it wasn't quite clear to me on that)

[Vellrad]

Yay so another update with just dumb race and nothing to do.

I'm sorry, they said 4 raids, I can only see 1- DoJ.

[cave_diver]

Everything in your letter we pretty much knew as players. Nothing new.

What about long term plans? Any raids with end game gear (Legengdary Green Steel is not End game IMHO).
Any plans to re-look some of the balance passes ( all melee classes are way behind ranger...well to tell the truth everything is way behind ranger atm).
Any plans for Iconic completionist feat or something to that effect?

Spill the beans on something.... like tomb of horrors?

[Saekee]

Glad to learn of the 'bug zapper' and crafting overhaul. Celebration event sounds cool! Please include Lars Heyton defending against the Sahuagin again, somehow.
They HAVE his scent!!!

[Steve_Howe]

The Gnomes look a little light in their loafers.

[Heynone]

Just want to point out to people complaining about halfling/gnome sizes that in the eberron campaign halflings are actually taller than gnomes, marginally so but still.

Also halfling barbarians ride on dinosaurs but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. (Edit:Ohh! But Talenta Halflings would be cool enemies. Glidewings and Clawfoot hordes would be a blast to take down.)

[Saekee]

Oh and Please tell me that you're not going to release Gnomes looking like that - The Hair and Beard look like cheap costume wigs from a fancy dress shop! And the faces and bodies are way too similar to Halflings {Gnomes should be more like smaller Dwarves!}.

The one featured looks a little creepy TBH. But are they supposed to be? I think so.

Doesn't help that he was the one that was not told to just show up in underwear. The female human and male halfling were probably saying, "Hey, c'mon, just drop the armored robe!"

[TitoFireknife]

Gnome Iconic....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i really dont want to TR my Final Life Toon 3 more times....why this ****

just make a normal race its enough....
