Griglok's Helpful List of Suggestions for DDO

[karatemack]

I intend to update the list from time to time.


Classes

Cleric

• Please extend the buff from Animal and Strength domains to 90 seconds (currently 20)
• Please shorten the "casting" animation for Turn Undead (currently around 3 seconds)
• Please add another damage over time spell to the divine spell list- preferably fire-based
• Please extend the aura range for Positive Energy Aura
  
  • Alternatively- please provide buffs/debuffs for the Positive Energy Aura in the RS tree to give us more reasons to risk taking damage.
  • Alternatively- please swap the Positive Energy Aura out for a Positive Energy Mass DOT that stacks up to 3 times.

Cleric (Dark Apostate)

• Give the ability in this tree to make another player benefit from negative healing (similar to abilities artificers get).

Monk

• Add passive monk feats that grants them MRR based on their current amount of KI
  
  • Monk Concentration I - 5% of KI (auto-granted at Monk level 5)
  • Monk Concentration II - 10% of KI (auto-granted at Monk level 10)
  • Monk Concentration III - 15% of KI (auto-granted at Monk level 15)
  • Monk Concentration IV - 20% of KI (auto-granted at Monk level 20)

Warlock

• Please restore some of the damage dice to level 30 Warlock. (compared to Alch/Druid it is behind at the moment). (sort-of solved with imbue dice 1-20-23)

PDK

• Change For Cormyr to be usable if below 80% health.

Quests

Agents of Edgewatch

• Please add this as an expansion!

Tower of Despair

• Legendary version please!

Challenge Rewards/Difficulty

• Please update challenge gear/rewards to offer unique bonuses.
• Does NOT have to be top of power grid- just unique/niche (IE: LGS, Slavers, etc.)
• Alternatively- please let us purchase unique items with challenge gear (IE: LR hearts, nebula frags, unique augments, etc.)
• Please allow us to complete challenges on Reaper Difficulty (not sure if possible)
• Please introduce leader boards for all challenges (similar to reaper leaderboards- across all servers would be "neat").

Items

Nebula Fragment

• Please adjust the Nebula Fragment drop rate. It is currently unobtainable for most mortals. (partially solved with trade-in option for Star Fragments 01-20-23)

Toolkits

• Please make it so we can buy toolkits/jeweler toolkits with mysterious remnants or area mats (IE: chits, star fragments, etc.)

Feats

Epic Feats

• Please add Epic Feat: Master of Wisdom (same as Master of Knowledge- but for divine spells)

General

Vendors

• Ruskin Blackboot in Gianthold lists one type of augment his barter window, but actually trades you much better augments (IE: 129 wizardry vs 75 power). Please update.

Dialogue

• Inquisitor Gnomon used to audibly refer to the cultists as "children" at the end of the Lords of Dust but the text dialogue revealed he actually said "brainwashed human slaves". This gave the player the impression of how Gnomon was manipulating the cultists through his spells. It was nice for the "immersion" of the quest. Please change it back!
• Make Elminster and all other NPC dialogue (including songs- looking at you dryad) able to be skipped.

Mystery Boxes

• Please add more mystery boxes to the game (IE: dull dagger). Being the first to figure out how to fully unlock the Dull Dagger was exciting for Stratis and I. Would be cool if there were more dialogue from the dev team once folks successfully solve the mystery.
• UPDATE- Nebula Fragment Added
• UPDATE- Skeletons Raid Optional Added

Teleport Items

• Please update the Ravenloft Bottle of Mist to have a multi-selector to take you to any of the 3 primary "staging" areas within Ravenloft (IE: like the Sharn teleporter).

VIP

• Make gold dice rolls free for VIP every day. (we had this for most of 2022, then they took it away 01-20-23)

Friend's List

• Make it so the friend's list shows if players are currently in a party or not.

Reaper Wings

• Please add additional colors (IE: blue, etc.)

Past Lives

• Please add the option to share past lives
• This includes: heroic, racial and epic (and especially Legendary (if added))
• Alternatively- please condense all PL benefits to the first PL (who says 3 is a magic number?)

Inventory Space

• Please add additional character inventory space.
• Please add player housing and include "dummies" where we can showcase our cosmetics.
• Please make it so we can make cosmetic sets (like weapon sets) for quick swaps.
• Allow us to design guild logos that can be placed on gear.

+20 LR Option

• Please make it so that +20 LR hearts also allow you to change your race.

TR QoL Change

• Please make it so that when you heroic or racial TR you can level up all the way to 30 in epics once you reach level 20 (same way we can level up to max legendary level once we reach level 30)

I do agree. It should be a smidge faster. Maybe Quicken could also affect Turn Undead?

It feels like Earth Domain's Earthquake spell for clerics is being cast at minimum level, as the duration is VERY short. Maybe you can verify and add to your list???

Why do all the race suggestions have 5e stat boosts instead of those common to DDO?

Adding Simic Hybrid might require a special license from WotC, an expansion into MtG universes more trite and less fit for the game than the Codex nonsense, and a huge graphical/model overhaul to allow mixing and matching of hybrid parts onto character models. Also it serves no real purpose mechanically.

Why do all the race suggestions have 5e stat boosts instead of those common to DDO?

Agreed.

None of the newer DDO races (Shifters, Tieflings, Aasimar, Dragonborn, and Gnomes) have gotten that 5e stat treatment even after 5e came out in 2014.

Make the stat "pluses" from even newer races (like Tabaxi) consistent with their 3.5e versions like all the other races are.

Good point. However, I'm not as concerned with attempting to prescribe how they would implement, and was more focused on pointing out there are a TON of other races that I (personally) would love to see in DDO.

Agreed.

I went straight from 2nd (AD&D) to 5th edition... so I'm not at all familiar with the 3.5e versions of these races. If you can provide the stat blocks- I'd be happy to insert them into the table above.

Vendor: Replace Add Junk with Sell all Green Items

Vendor: Add Dissolve (Cannith Crafting Essences) All Green Items

Not organized very well, but most seem to be here: https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/races/

For example: 3.5 Goliaths can be found here: https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/races/racesRos.html

I love the monk MRR suggestion but would make it Sheltering
