Reaper Reward Suggestions

[Connman]

So I noticed that in the reaper mode that mysterious remnants seemed to be dropping like candy.

Instead of having the mobs drop mysterious remnants have them drop "reaper remnants" instead, or have the quest reward them on completion like the challenges do based on some metric.

Then place a "Reaper Trader," just like the mysterious remnant trader, into the Hall of Heroes.

Have unique cosmetic rewards that can only be obtained this way.

Things that looked really evil and reaper like. Like awesome skull helms, death wraith outfits and the like.

I'd like rewards to be only cosmetics.

We've had enough power creep through gear.

I have to agree.

Reiterating my Harambe cosmetic pet idea.

We need to be told what 'Reaper XP' is supposed to be used for.

I'm fine with this.

Yes, the devs saying that they haven't implemented the reward system yet as if they had awesome rewards in mind made me nervous.

NO special gear from reaper mode, doing hard quests is the reward for those of us that want it. By all means an extra 20% XP (not tied to a streak, and no extra favour) some increased remnants and maybe a slight treasure hunter bonus for chests [not that it matters, they killed random loot stone dead with cannith crafting + slave lords, abjectly pointless now], but NO special rewards, that's just a way to make the content trivial at the same time as releasing it and so utterly defeating the point.

feck that, i can tell you now that if there is not a decent reward for running
this then as far as my guild is concerned it will be a one and done, never run
again. this goes for virtually everyone else i have spoken to about this. its
kinda funny that its only the forums that don't want a reward for this.

To keep continuity of play and not be a one and done there does need to be a reward system of some sort....

Reaper reward turn-ins
~consumables that reduce debuffs caused by reapers...
~Unique Cosmetics
~add more remnant turn in rewards..
~double named end chests for lootz...
~High drop rates for mythic bonusses
~double credit for incremental 20's
~no BTC rewards.. our endgame toons shoudn't need anything.. don't give us stuff we cant use unless we can use it across the account..
~a blinders cosmetic that lets me turn off the visual for other peoples pets in quests.. pets are annoying visually especially in quests.. could care less in open area's
~extend the Legendary statuette and busts to work on all gear, then drop them as chance rewards in Reaper.


I think these would give players reason to keep reaper running..

I agree...there needs to be some reward to keep people coming back. Novelty will wear off after a week or so...it needs something to provide staying power.

I personally am an advocate for public leader boards. People love to see their name in lights. Back in the 80's when got your name to the top of the leader board of your favorite arcade game...you would blow a whole sleeve of quarters to regain your spot if some once knocked you off the top.

I know that a lot of people don't like this idea...but I think it would work.

Sorry sil, but i tend to agree with the crowd on this one. No more power creep via reaper rewards other than perhaps consumables.

And no, reaver-only equipment does not work since that will only cause reaver to become the new default mode plus force us to jam even more gear into our already crowded inventories.

I agree, I will not run anything for just cosmetics or pet certificates.

[Mr_Helmet]

How about XP stones? Earn 20k Reaper XP and get a 2k BTA XP stone.

great idea. I remember when the challenges had leader boards; what happened to those? I was proud of myself to get on them for Rushmore's. These are the things that do not cause power creep.
The mere fact that people proudly post stuff in the achievements section, or top-level completions on Youtube, shows that members of the population will respond.

Imagine a guild that has all of its members taking top spots on leaderboards.

[Mr_Helmet]

Nobody cared?

It's a PvE game.

[Loromir]

I cared...even though I never made it on the boards. It just seemed to fade out....but I cared....and apparently some other people cared.


And having leader boards does not have to be mutually exclusive from PVE?

[Mr_Helmet]

You're an exception, if people actually cared about this it would have been popular. It is reasonable to assume nobody cared simply because it wasn't popular.

Doesn't have to be, but from my observations people care about rankings, score, all that jazz in actual competitive PvP games. DDO is not nor has it ever been a competitive MMO.

You know what people care about in PvE games? Cosmetic pets.

[Gljosh]

Ideally I would like to see Cosmetics and/or minor bonuses (similar to the Eldritch bonus types-more minor defense/offense boosts).

If Reaper gear is very strong it makes the rest of the game vastly easier.

Reaper should be tough and STAY tough, just like if Legendary Raids and Quests came out with a Level Capped at 28.

[Tilomere]

XP commensurate with increased time to run, so it is an alternative to elite streaking.

[Loromir]

I think it was popular...Turbine just didn't support it for what ever reason. Just like MYDDO...that was a very popular tool...yet Turbine ended support and turned it off.

And everybody knows what happens when you start to ASSUME.

[Mr_Helmet]

I think it was popular...

Based on what evidence?

[Sam-u-r-eye]

Based on what evidence?

The achievements board was very active until the last year.

I think that the boards works fine, but if they want to put it in game I won't complain. It would need to be cross server though.

Probably better to keep it to the achievements forums and give me Harambe as a pet.

I am not opposed to a +1 chest level per 3 skulls, or mythic random gen, or treasure finders +1 per skull.
Small perks.

Maybe increase named loot drop if that's possible but w/e if not.
It would be nice to farm Mythic Celestias from CITW.
Make the max possible mythic value the number of skulls it was completed on. (We're talking mythic 6 possible loot if Skull 6 is the max realistic difficulty.)

We need things that layer easily on existing stuff to make Reaper a simple and fluid thing.
