    Default So, what is going to happen with level lockout?

    Just would like to know dev decision on the argument. I need to know if my DDO gaming experience ends here.

    I started playing SWKotor (I never played it before) and added in some DW8XL. I still play ddo, just not as much these days. I had to TR out of my Epic TRing Arti. Reaper looks interesting for Heroic Quests not so much for Epics (Thanks to the Lock out).

    So I went from playing a couple of hours a day to a couple of hours a week and it feels so much better.

    SWKOTOR is a good single player game, but once I was done with the story, I quickly lost interest.*

    What I'll never understand is why people talk about moving on to another game like it's some huge dramatic occurrence or like the developers are going to hear that a person stopped playing, rush over to break the emergency glass surrounding a giant red button, slam their hand on it to trigger a blaring alarm, and summon all hands on deck because xxElfDestroyerxx145 stopped playing.

    It's normal and natural to not stick with a game for over a decade. All MMOs change dramatically over time so the odds of those changes making the game objectionable to any given player go up as time goes by as they accumulate.

    When people go to an ice cream store and discover that the store is putting 5% more or 5% less pistachios in the pistachio ice cream or changing it's color or whatever, do they dramatically raise a finger into the air and announce, "And I shall never have pistachio ice cream AGAIN!"? And then wait for an audible *GASP* and *STUNNED LOOKS OF PANIC* from all onlookers.

    I switched cell phone carriers the other day myself. Maybe I should have played some ominous organ music and issued a press release to mark the occasion.

    Reaper is about challenge and not efficient farming of reaper rewards at cap by running lower level quests. Triple completionists are not prevented from tr'ing to run low level content at the proper level. And if they do they will be back at 30 again when they finish so the whole not wanting to tr cry fest is just an excuse to farm reaper gear more efficiently.

    i have a long history of being empathetic towards new and casual players. This is for people wanting a challenge. Not for casual players and not for pretenders that just want to farm gear.

    Keep reaper about challenge and not about efficient farming of reaper rewards.

    there is no need to react to vets crying a river because they don't want to tr to run content at the right level. There is content to run if they don't want to tr.

    But the most recent poll and threads shows people not wanting trees, nor rewards.

    Then they shou;d allow running over the level but provide no rewards if anyone is over the level- simple fix.

    I agree. Never really cared about Reaper bonus on items, even less about Reaper XP.

    I don't know why all those reply about vet/ non vet, crying/ not crying, reward/ no reward, xp/ no xp. I asked a very simple question and I am still waiting an answer from dev's or community manager.

    For what is worth since you guys keep talking about other stuff instead of answer my question, I don't want:

    - XP
    - Reward
    - Tree

    I don't care about TR'ing to do a dungeon while waiting 2 hour to get a healer and tank to do reaper at level.

    You guys think everyone enjoy doing tr like you do. I don't. Tr to run few dungeon at level? Not a hope...I don't have the time for that.

    I want endgame stuff to keep me playing, otherwise I will play other game, simple as that.

    Farming reaper gear? Are you serious? I don't give a **** about a bunch of + something reaper bonus worthless item at cap. Nothing is better then CC gear if you want to run at level reaper.

    So more Legendary Versions of old quest?

    I assume that the Legendary Quests will also have Reaper added. Legendary 10 Reaper Skull Hounds sound like a horrible time.

It is like going to a museum and bragging about how fast you made it through. Or bragging about how fast you finished a good steak.
