Anybody coming to this board expecting anything more sophisticated than a dick joke had better get used to disappointment.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

There was none. You also can't see your damage bonus unless you're using wraps.

You know when I first started playing this game I didn't see why everyone hated on the dev team so much. It took me a couple years to become bitter. This kind of fucking stupid ass retarded bullshit is just unbelievable.

I keep hoping they will fix it but since they did the weapon damage thing  and removed even more information I guess they find informed players just too big of a hassle.  I imagine their theory is if no one can see anything we can't tell if they nerfed something.  Apparently not realizing that half their forum posters actually KNOW proper math (which I have really started to question if the devs do given how much simple shit is fucked up) and can figure it out on their own and post for people like me so we can yell about it.

My monk's Stunning Fist DC shows just fine when I hover the cursor over it on the hotbar.

you are smart to question that.

Interestingly enough, that means it's a buff for warforged with high enough amplification (who reach over 100% total before this enhancement is taken into account), but for anyone with less, it certainly does have a negative impact.

You're right. =)
I didn't do any math on it, instead I just made a quick assumption, which was wrong. <snip>

I'm still trying to figure out how taking away spell levels on the spell icons was helpful to us.

I get a scroll, I have no idea what inscription material level it is. I have to open up the wiki. I don't memorize caster level/min level in relation to actual level. I relied on those little roman numerals.

Good one, Turbine.

I believe this was due to different classes having spells at different levels, they were too lazy to add different numbers on the icons.
Divines already had the wrong number on some of their spells (4 on bestow curse even if it's lvl 3 for divines, 6 on true sight even if it's lvl 5 for them)

The problem was just going to get worse with arty, and druid.

Lazy solution, remove the numbers from the icons.

The art department is the laziest department ever. They never come out with new monster models, helves look like shit, half orcs are just bigger dwarves, memnir had to create new teleport icons for them. What the fuck are they even doing?

Is the art department the group that makes combat animations?  If so, then they're responsible for my biggest pet peeve from Turbine.


Hey, early combat animations are shorter than late combat animations.  We could standardize the animation times in order to absolutely kill twitch fighting.

...or we could just take away glancing blows from moving combat and screw over people who actually use DDO's dynamic combat system to get their AC from WASD just to make sure that the people who twitch fight against stationary targets don't get their extra 3% DPS.

Fuck them right in their art school asses.
