You would be crazy to hold them at their word about upcoming features and their release dates after as long as you've been around this game. 

The only thing that statement means is they're thinking about it.  Color me jaded.

Ever been at a railroad crossing with a faulty roadblock mechanism? You expect the wreck, but you think, maybe this time the drunks stay clear.

Hey guys,

We know you all want something more to be done with guild and Epic augment slots.
There are plans in the works.
...


What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Among other examples of rigorous testing before and after deployment, this is the same guy whose "fix" for the set bonus spell power resulted in requiring that recipients of incoming curative spells literally WAVE THEIR ARMS in order to get the caster's full potency.

He will do worse - he has established a well documented history of doing worse.

Can't wait.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Even if there's the traditional bugfest, I'm glad they finally got around to this.

No doubt, the final options available won't please everyone (Me included possibly  Grin), but this did seem an area where it would take little effort to make older content relevant again.

I´m going with Abbot broken, something like not being able to fire at the roids or some similar random shit.
Yes, apparently no connection to yellow augment slot. That is the beauty.

Better yet, random three piece set bonuses augments. Each set bonus can be as powerful as you'd expect a regular augment crystal to be.

Hopefully, they get around to putting slots on the Fens epics.

Last time I looked into it, the timing and aiming for the meteors was off. 

So even when you manage to get people in there that know what they're supposed to be doing, they still have issues with aiming and hitting the meteors.

luckily so far my only slotted items are slotted with Heavy Fortification...

With luck he won't break that while fucking up the rest of the slotting.

With the update you get a free respec of all your slotted gear.

Which, of course, means they screw up and wipe your slots once, you buy them and reslot them, then they do it AGAIN and give you a 10% reduction on epic token costs but only if you buy it from the Turbine Store.

Oh, and then the real fix comes and your slots are wiped a third time but for some reason every time you go to buy an augment crystal to slot you are accidentally transported to your guild airship...which has no amenities.

WAI as far as I can tell... Cheesy

Years behind. You'd think Turbine could leverage lessons learned from EQ and WoW wrt augments.  Instead we have a half assed rimjob we've been teased with for 3 years.  DDO is the posterchild for gamer blueballs.

Don't forget that wearing unslotted equipment will cause most mobs in any dungeon to spawn as kobolds on ladders stuttering up and down due to the ladder bug, and interacting with the kobolds in any way will cause spellpower to not be applied to any incoming heal effects.

I wish they would just add new effects, rather than trying to rework the whole system.  The augment system may be outdated, but at least it isn't broken.
