Make your predictions, what breaks or remains broken after U16?

  • I give ED reset price a 50/50 chance of getting borked in the price correction.
  • Challenge XP remains unchanged.
  • One or more ED's are hit due to unforseen feature interaction with Primal Avatar.

I predict a couple of things fixed, several new things broke, and a hot fix before the following Monday.

Possibly a 20% xp boost because of the clusterfuckedness of the release.

edit : nevermind, reading failure.

as for the bets :
- Challenge XP remains the same
- Guild renown got back to being the old way ( crippling for large guilds )
- a new bug will show up with unexpected results that will generate an emergency hotfux that will be postponed at least once while all those in the know will exploit it.
- I am still going to crash systematically when entering : Desert, Gianthold, Red Fens, Kings Forest.

Two predictions.

1. Some combination of handwraps/twf/druid animal form fighting is badly broken, requiring a hotfix if it breaks in some way that benefits players

2. The CITW weapons will, as stated, require 3 heroic commendations to upgrade BUT they will not put in the supposed new loot tables that increase the drop rates for those commendations.

If you don't think something is going to break, I'd say you're delusional.

easily 75% of new bugs introduced will have been identified on lammania and widely communicated.

Given how late in the cycle they slipped in the physics fix, and the low turnout due to bending over for the folks that don't pay them shit and instead use the lam server for ftp everything, betting the memleak reaches up from the grave for some revenge.

1.  Ship buffs disappear.
2.  Some of the same people who rage quit forebber and ebber after each of the last several update will do so again.
3.  New threads will be balanced between too easy and too hard again...

Yawn

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

I'm sure there will be something that isn't WAI.  I am equally sure that players will make a mountain out of a mole hill as well.  It turns out DDO players are as predictable and unable to change as Turbine is.

Since I still have unspent TP, is there anything in 16 (or 15 for that matter) that's good enough to be worth buying?

I actually quite liked the adventure pack, much better than the hot mess that was 15. If it is not too pricey I will probably buy it once they have ironed out the can only be completed one way bugs that folk will no doubt find. There were some on Lama but after Lotro broke my install I didnt bother to go back and recheck.

They'd have to fix it first. Still busted last I checked.

Good to know. Mostly been kicking back looking at the systems changes for a bit. Makes me less homicidal if I just don't try and get em to retool anything once it's already on lam anymore.
