Possible Fourth Reaper Vendor?

[Butchh]

Imagine, you're on your 1000th run of Good Intentions, it's been 4 years since reaper came out. No perfect bonus Ring of Prowess. The solution to this problem? Here's my idea.

The addition of a FOURTH reaper vendor which you can access at 100 reaper points, where you can trade in Reaper XP for an upgrade token that will allocate a random reaper bonus
to an item of your choice, much like an augment. This will not be cheap and in my opinion should be priced at around 1 to 2 million rxp per token to offer players who have an excess of rxp an incentive to continue playing reaper and keep working on perfecting their gearset with some bad luck protection.

This however, will come with flaws, just like any other system. There are players who have already capped their reaper trees and will obviously start ahead with this new system. But this is a problem that has been persistent for many years with other systems (like the introduction of reaper initially for people with lots of past lives compared to people with few or none) perhaps some form of time-gating like raids where you can only purchase one of these tokens every 3 days would slow it down initially for the players who have an excess of rxp.

Feedback on this idea would be greatly appreciated.

/signed but i'd make it more like a 1 week CD, and make the bonuses replacable (i.e if you get 3 mrr but want 3 prr, make it so you can apply it to the item again)

A really interesting suggestion that could address a couple of 'problems' many players find in the current systems in place if it was scaled right. Much more interesting idea than just raising the cap and delaying/stalled the players that will inevitably cap it and still want something to do after.

The time-gating part being set higher than people can realistically earn the RXP will siphon out the huge amounts many players will have and keep earning it relevant longer while providing bad luck protection and letting people target specific upgrades beyond just hoping for rng.



There's a precedent for the time limits (raid timers, feat/spell swapping) already but anywhere in the 3-7 day range could work out depending on the cost

Future tuning could reduce costs as a catch-up mechanic, or increase bonuses available to encourage people to repeat the grind too :P Very scalable

Make such vendor available at 200rap to silence those farming rxp above 156 and then whining that there's (huge suprise) no rewards.

Signed, good idea

I think we get more sick of people complaining they can't contribute on r1, cant get past lives done or get more then 10 reaper points. The rewards are there for all to get, just have to get of the forums and play..

Yawn, it's getting boring. We all know already that you're best in game, go back to begging for most important thing in your life (farming stuff in ddo).

Signed 100x, would really help motivate people to run reapers even after 156 reaper points. as it stands people just stop at that point as there is no incentive

You could have the vendor sell toilet paper for all the times you wipe...

I agree with this idea, but not the cost. 1 to 2 million rxp is quite steep, especially with 6+ items which can have reaper bonus, it will be way out of reach of casuals (who just run r10 dailies, have multiple alts etc) & F2P players. I will leave it to Lynnabel to come up with a more reasonable number.
