	Asheras wrote on Aug 29^th, 2012 at 6:18pm: I guess another question is, will Epic GH be level 20 gear like all the other Eberron Epic gear (and therefore instantly lower in value/capability than FR level 23-25 gear) or will it be level 21-25 gear and be better than all the other epic gear in Eberron?� Even though some of the other Eberron Epic gear comes from quests with higher heroic level ML's ( Web of Chaos for instance) Since it's a pay pack, there will be at least 1 best in slot item.

	mystafyi wrote on Aug 29^th, 2012 at 6:33pm: they wont be releasing the old gh epic that some folks have visited. They will use alot of the same dungeons and graphics and sell epic gh as a seperate pack with seperate loot. I was guessing new Gianthold based quest chain that includes a revisited version of Tor for a new storyline and a raid that takes place in the Inner Sanctum, but isn't against the Stormreaver.

These are actually along my thoughts as well. I don't see epic Crucible,� or Pop being released. Which is sad really, because these are two of the best quests in the game. I could see them making Madstone epic for some reason though. It seems to be what they're most interested in now. Not making dynamic content, but making things that you have to plow through with a bajillion hitpoints. Of course that could just be me talking from how I remember endgame use to be about a year ago.

	They can't sell PRE's for TP. It wouldn't surprise me if the new ED and each one they release from now on get treated like a race or class as far as TP is concerned. Not as pricey, but those who thought that when they bought EDs that they bought all future ones as well could end up dissapointed.

I would have expected it to be purchased separately if they had broken all of the current EDs up and offered them al a carte. Maybe it will come along with some other thing, like a perk for purchasing druid or being VIP.

My guess would be that they will just re-brand what we currently have as a "Base edition" or some standard set, then sell others as they come out. Not saying I'd be happy myself about this either, but if Turbine have been good at anything this last year, it's getting money out of us lol.

Kinda expect it on the official forums, but here? When have Turbine ever cared about the quality (And by quality, I mean in terms of bugs) of the content that goes live? Cmon, we all know the magic formula by now. Stuff we can put in the store = Release Asap and let it go live in beta state. We can fix it later when the players do the QA work for us. Stuff we promise but can't put in store = Give it the least amount of dev time possible (None if we can get away with it) and tell those plankheads out there that we only release things when they are "Ready".

	Allo wrote on Sep 9^th, 2012 at 8:42pm: or maybe they realize not releasing them as a buggy pile of shit is more important than rushing it This comment was enough to motivate me to start looking back through some old old threads so I could cite examples. It's NUTS! Allo, if you REALLY believe that "it will be different this time", go here: http://forums.ddo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=75&order=desc&page=720 and start reading any of the threads that look interesting. If you're having difficulty choosing something because it all looks interesting, the multi-page threads usually have "interesting" content. Here's a gem, especially considering the comments people have made regarding Caught in the Web: Quote: 06-18-2007, 01:19 PM Rouge� Founder Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Ohio, USA Posts: 268 Speaking of Teleport Without Error....... Lailiat does this and sometimes it's difficult to get the raid to start correctly because she Teleports before the party can damage her.... poof bugged, in that one it's only a minor annoyance to start over because it's at the beginning, but I'm not looking forward to starting over at the last encounter of the adventure. Currently if you report Lailiat teleporting like that the DM will tell you to start over and they won't/can't do anything about it. That will be completely unacceptable at the end of an adventure that takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours for some groups. The engine may be rickety, and the code base may be undocumented spaghetti created by programmers who had the sense to GTFO, but the real problem is the people who determine that it is appropriate policy to treat customers this way. As you read through the forum archives, keep in mind that prior to November 2009 everyone was a Paying Customer.

	Hey Fernando, post a goddamned preview of the prestige enhancement changes already. Your customers have only been waiting for completed PrEs for 6 fucking years. You know, Guild Wars 2 was developed in less time than that.

	You likely won't see a preview until 2013. I don't think they can get it close enough to working to give any sort of preview.

I just cant force myself to play a game that is pretty much doomed at this point. Yes, I know 'doom' and 'ddo killer' words have been thrown around before with no realization. In this reference though, its turbine themselves that doomed and killed ddo. cant blame atari this time...
