Regarding the new monster manual

[TekkenDevil]

Having Reaper bonuses be truly Reaper-only would be an improvement over having them spill into non-Reaper, definitely.

However, the argument against having actual gameplay bonuses at all is that Reaper is supposed to be a challenge mode...so why should it reward you for playing it by making the mode less challenging? If you want less challenge, just turn down the skulls...

That makes sense on the surface but then you could apply that to any difficulty in any game ever. People min/max everywhere to make the game less challenging, but then why keep playing the game?

The players that decide not to run reaper are limiting themselves.

This is implicitely forcing casuals to run Reaper, even if they are not capable of doing Reaper.
This is implicitely a bonus for min-maxing players, or for "the Reaper crowd". This is loike saying "if you are not able to eat nuts because of allergy, then you are limiting yourself", cynically put.

The difference of course being that playing the same video game on a slightly different mode will not cause you to asphyxiate and die.

My current Monster Manuals are not unlocking the monster art, what other rewards am I not receiving? I feel ripped off

Are you speaking of the actual mob that you can rotate around or the artwork drawing for the category that comes from the actual D&D books? I didn't notice any issues with the artwork in mine but I'll go back through, however, many of the individual mob models are unable to be viewed because the camera angle is too far below or above them or zoomed in too far.

Also was this artwork you unlocked during a play session? Perhaps like many other things in DDO you must relog before it activates.

That'd limit any potential rewards to only certain players

No it wouldn't. If you choose not to do Reapers then you limit yourself, you are not limited. You're crying about a self-inflicted wound.

Is there a prize for hyperbole? You're winning in this thread but the day is still young. Maybe try linking it to the plight of people displaced by wars for extra points.

What do I want in new Monster Manuals? The return of Account Hunter deeds. Up to Volume 2 had them, but Volumes 3-7 did not. Why did those go away? Those are the most fun for me, regardless of rewards. Slayer deeds are boring, regardless of whether Character or Account. And all your Character Hunter deed progress get wiped if you TR.

Please dont make the reward mysterious remnants!

Why not? I can always use more Remnants. There's no shortage of things to spend them on.

Stacking Remnant stat potions cost 250 Remnants per hour, if you only do your main stat (or double if you also do Con).

A set of Remnant tomes for a single character takes 175,000 Remnants.

Reset on TR is one of the best features of MM
