Happy Birthday DDO!

[Kylstrem]

And I see you guys have banned Fernando from making these posts. After the "Take paralyzing off a weapon and put on another weapon" and the "we have a new raid coming" that both never appeared, that's probably a good thing.

Considering we've been waiting over a year for this ENH pass it would be really nice if we got some MOAR details to chew on.

But this is "why they stopped the WDA"s. This way the higher ups had something to talk to us about.

/DDO is Dying Threads... Happy about more 15th level quests, but would love more 12s and 13s so I don't grind out GH before epics.

Thanks for the news! Take my money! Pre-order bonus pets again?

You need to read more carefully. A year from now and the lvl1-14 game will no longer exist, except for those feeling nostalgic enough to solo forgotten content.

Work on the new enhancement system is well underway and it will be heading to its first public beta this spring.

Yay.

Another area where you will see several changes is in the introduction of more uses for Astral Diamond shards throughout our game.

Yawn.

Shadowfell Conspiracy will have more than just new quests and regions, we will also be raising the level cap to 28

yawn.

You do realize that every single mmo on the market charges for expansions right?

Hey guys, those other people are ripping people off, we should do it too.

[arkonas]

So are you gonna rip-off VIPs again by making us pay for the "expansion"?

seriously? wow i dont like players that think like this. you think your measly 10 bucks a month can pump out expansions and not pay for it. ugh you don't know how other games work do you? so many of them even charge extra for an expansion. whether you like it or not a lot of people paid for it. Dont want to fork out the money early on Dont.

i will because i want to be in there first day with goodies.

IDK, sounds like 'iconic heroes' are pre-made toons (which have been horrible in the past) and every other time we have had a skip levels from the start option it did not work with TRs.

Either way it seems likely that TRs will not be using it...at least on their final lives.

Man, this sounds awesome. Hope this cake ain't a lie.

[arkonas]

see this puts you in the same boat with another person i responded too. if you really think games should pump out so much content without you paying more money then there is something wrong with you. how on earth do you think these games survive? this is a business and jobs for people. if we want them to make stuff we need to pay them money not just 10 a month.

[Kaytis]

i would like some thought put into reducing the TR grind. The high xp requirement belongs to an era of little content and the need to give people "something to do". With the introduction of a new type of TR on top of the recently added classes there will be enough to keep non-basement dwelling people busy for years. So how about dropping the crazy 4.38 million down to something less painful (and utterly boring) please? I loathe taking my top tier toons out of commission to do that grind.

Sounds like my thoughts also. Reminds me of Crytpic CO archtypes. But we'll see just how good they really are. Who knows, maybe it will be a fast way to get to a 2nd life if you can TR them into "free form"

[Maxallu]

Epic completonist and heroic completionist? I don't understand. Epic tr? They are generic levels. How does one tr only epic levels? Another 60 million do to grind?

Details man, details!

[SableShadow]

this is a business and jobs for people. if we want them to make stuff we need to pay them money not just 10 a month.

Where is 'enough money'?
20/month? 50? 100? 200?

[Hambo]

Can you make Founder's Helms available for Cannith Crafting?

That would be a great birthday present.

Throw in all the various pre-order items (+1 armor necklace for me) being upgradable and this would be great!

[Raoull]

Hurm.....

I can't believe they are upping the level cap so soon. We still haven't recovered from the last one.

Upping the level cap spreads out the people and who they can group with. Upping the lvl cap from 25 to 28 means that there will be about 1/8th less LFMs that you qualify for at any point in time. Sure, far less of a hit than the 1/4 that struck us with U14, but it doesn't seem like we've even recovered from that one.

At is isn't only puggers who suffer. Whether you get your groups via guilds, channels or what have you, you still need to find people about your level to play with. The more levels.... the less people.

Not good for the game at all....

[psteen1]

Looks fun!!!!

(where did Fernando go?)

[apocaladle]

Yey stuff!

[HungarianRhapsody]

I am most pleased to announce DDO’s second expansion titled ‘Shadowfell Conspiracy’ coming this summer!

You got me to buy the first expansion with cash.

You're not going to fool me again.
