Racial Completionist

[JOTMON]

Racial completionist idea.
I would like to see a Racial Completionist give 10 Racial AP along with racial past life bonuses similar to TR class lives.

1. Requires levelling each race in a heroic life using a 'racial TR stone' (RTR) to recognize the Racial past life instead of the class past life.
2. Only achievable starting after the release of Gnomes (due to requiring RTR stone)

Each race will give a past life bonus similar to heroic class bonuses.. (yet to be determined) something like..
~Halfling +.5 Sneak attack die.. stackable to 3x..
~Drow Arcane Fluidity: Your arcane spell failure chance while wearing armor is decreased by 5%/10%/15%
~~or other alternatives similar to bonuses from each of the individual racial tree's

So we have 9 classes with 9 TR lives using a 'Racial TR stone' (RTR) starting with the release of Gnomes to obtain racial completionist that gives 10 AP in the Racial Tree.
Dwarf,Elf ,Halfling, Human, Drow, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Warforged, Gnome.
.. 3.8mm XP * 9 lives = 34.2mm XP to achieve RTR before considering 3x for some more Racial past life perks.. seems fair enough..

..another hamster wheel to grind...

I'd say go for it.
I'd especially like the suggestion for the drow racial past life benefit.

Is there some sort of competition to come up with the most ridiculous suggestion for even more power creep?

This is absolutely not what DDO needs

That doesn't mean he's not right.

Power creep is a problem. More power creep isn't a solution...

/signed for something like racial completionist / race past lives once we get 13+ races.

I think we should also introduce racist completionist for those who play only one race...

This may be the funniest reply ever on these forums

Agreed!!!! lol

No. The game needs to remove past lives not add more. They have a hard cap of 30. Their goal should be to have everyone at L30. There is no longer any reason for this TR/eTR cycle and it should be removed from the game gradually.

I want the ability to turn all my past lives into rabbits or squirrels so they can follow me around in both public and private instances, and every..where.

PS: I want to name each one of them separately
PS2: they should all be able to summon their own squirrel, or rabit or batswarm companions

I think if you get racial completionist, you permanently have the male half-elf face, no matter what race you pick. Also, if you idle, you suddenly start dancing that fruity male helf jig (you all know which dance I'm talking about), complete with a sudden appearance of the disco ball.

Those who look at you while you're doing the jig must make a fortitude save or else have the helf face for 1 hour.

This should be in the hall of fame for most hilarious replies ever.

It's not a terrible suggestion. If you wouldn't like it nobody would force you but some people like more long term goals.

One thing about power creep I never hear anyone say is that it is a necessary part of the game. Without it the game would not progress although it should be implemented as moderately as possible. When level caps go up some amount of power creep is necessary. If you disagree, then stop adding AP to your toon at level 12 like when level 12 was cap. Everything after that is power creep, right?

I do agree with this.

Not everyone's goal is to sit at cap. That may be yours, but it is not mine. Not yet anyway. Some people like myself actually still have fun doing TR / ER and RR if it was an option. My current life is Dwarf - Arti, and I don't use any AP in my dwarf tree - I just did it because I was bored with human every life. Having RR might spice things up a bit and add a little more to what people consider a grind.

This is terrifying just imaging such a fate. I would throw my computer out the window and go cry in the shower.

[willox2112]

I agree, after that we can also add Hair Style completionist, skin color completionist, etc. Talk about replay-ability!

It is. At this time anything that adds more power has to be carefully considered. How many times have the devs not had to nerf things after some time because it was overpowered?

I see your point but the benefits would not have to be overwhelmingly powerful. A little power creep is almost inevitable. A lot too fast is most definitely bad.

[Dandonk]

As long as the benefits are kept fairly small, I'd love this. More lives to grind on my main, yay

[Wanesa]

Offtopic:

What about single race completionist (complete all classes without changing race). Or better single race pure class completionist (avoid multiclassing) . Shewind is running that challenge currently - as an halfling

More so because the forumites repeatedly demanded it than because it actually needed a nerf.

This is evidenced by watching the community demand nerfs of the 5th and 6th most powerful things over and over again, and those things get nerfed, while they completely gloss over the 1st through 4th most powerful things which have been in game longer and still haven't been nerfed yet.
