I want to give Flimsy a break.  But, at the same time, they previewed this stuff to us in the 11th hour.  Now they don't have time to tweak the design to make the raid palatable?  Well, that sucks.  Cause they could have prevented this with some better planning and scheduling.  Flimsy, I think, is suffering heavily from "your baby is ugly" syndrome, and he doesn't have the time to get his baby to the plastic surgery clinic.




They didn't want feedback.  They do this every time; save the raid for last save the loot till it's too late.  Eventually, you can't blame stupidity and you must conclude they do it on purpose.

Not only do they not want feedback, all they really want are "atta-bois".

Make a post about how asinine an idea with one of the destinies is and get told by a dev "You must not have played it" Bullshit!

Maybe if they fix their broke ass copy function more people would have tested stuff. Maybe if they actually had shit working, people could have tested more. Maybe, just maybe if they were not such morons they would not have come up with the worst update any MMO has ever seen.

I tried the beta the first time Lam was open. When they opened it the second time, my characters wouldn't copy over. I haven't played DDO since then.

Sorry, Stainer.  I can't source it.  I'll admit that it was hearsay.  It was stated either in a privileged area, or it's already been edited.

Yup the only way to save DDO from continued destruction at the hands of incompetent developers is some wholesale firing.

At this point I would keep a few of the new devs to allow them to screw up enough to lose their jobs (not feather he needs to go the minute he started talking..his incompetence is Eladrin like), Genasi, 404, most of the content people (except of course flimsy who is the continual weak link in that department tarnishing it's good name constantly), and of course the art department who does a pretty bang up job.  Oh and marketting should keep most personal except ones personally responsible for things like the offer wall and breaking of player trust of previous purchases like how artificers release was handled.

I'd be cool with keeping Flimsy for the entertainment value on the forums alone.

Fundamentally, the only person who needs to be replaced is Fernando or whoever is actually in charge.  If the person in charge is replaced with someone who knows what needs to be done, then they'll be able to identify the people who need to go and the people who should stay in their jobs and also the people who should stay at Turbine, but in a different role.

I'm sure that there are some people at Turbine who are doing terrible things when they could be a great asset - as long as they end up in a job that they're suited to instead of whatever they're doing now.

I'm thinking the janitorial staff would be the only safe haven for some. Then we'd hear about Turbine's HQ burning down.

You know why this is happening right? No? Well, let me explain.

We thought DDO couldn't get any worse.  We believed they couldn't fuck it up anymore.  When they said we are coming out with an expansion that you pay for - and that it has been in the works and wont be released for several months, we trusted them.   

Did you see that word? "Trusted".  Now, we all knew better.  WE ALL KNEW BETTER.  Even the people that came in with f2p knew better.  Us vets that have been here since the dawn have no excuse.  We all wanted this so bad, we wanted it to be ddos saving grace.  I mean, they are  releasing druids in the pack.

You see what happens? We all wasted our hard earned money on an expansion that is going to destroy ddo.  Why? Because the developers are stupider then ever.  We all knew it was going to be like this, but we refused the truth.  We turned a blind eye to it even though it was fucking screaming at us.  We knew better, yet we believed.  I even fell into this trap.  I feel shame, as should all of you.


Pretty much. Fell for the let's talk threads and got generous enough to pay em for work they apparently hadn't even started, let alone completed yet.

More fool I.

Well a lot of people complain that they want content, that isn't just about killing monsters, if they get something that's different from running a straight line, tank boss, heal tank, beat on the back, they usually play very unsatisfied though. Personally Im not a fan of a protection mission, but it might not be a bad idea just for something different!


Semi random loot is not an entirely bad idea in my book, just the placement of it as seen in the xpack is kinda wrong. Running challenges especially to build a weapon that will most likely be worse than I had - plain out sucks. It's actually better in a raid, since you can get a basic version of an item which somehow works for you, but you might also get an even more awesome version of it - but even then doing it with all raid items insted of just one special loot piece is not overly smart. If they would made a weapon like in a challenge that drops in a quest that is run more or less often, so you will mostly get vendor loot, but have the chance on something cool would have been nice though.

Sorry for using too much logic on the vault.

TL;DR your whining is awesome, keep going!

One thing that I will say in favor of the random loot - it improves on the old Dragontouched lottery in one significant way.  If you get something that's "meh" and then pull something really shitty, you can at least keep your "meh" instead of losing it to the shitty second pull.

...on the other hand, you can't replace one aspect of the item at a time, so you're much more likely to be stuck with "meh" for a long time since you'll have to get lucky on two or more item traits simultaneously.

If your luck is terrible, random means you will never see anything decent ever.  Their current mechanics (epic seals and shards aside) mean you can at least build toward something that works, or even get it passed to you if someone else pulls it and doesn't need it.  Its great if you are that guy that the rng loves, if you arn't you run the shit for years and that awesome True law of shattermantle is an upgrade when you finally manage to pull it.

Random can go fuck itself in the ass with a cactus.

Impossible.

Based on the amount of forum bitching on LoB, the devs are under the assumption that it's the MOST POPULAR RAID EVAR because everyone is talking about it.
