Not with that cloak dropping in there. I want to see the daggertooth belt also.


The gloves are pretty awesome too.  I wanna see what the Falchion and the Boots turn into.

Curious if stability and resistance stopped stacking then, or if they bumped the other two. One of the few reasons left to pick TN.

This makes me die inside a little. Well the Nightshield. I don't give a fuck about Holy Aura.

I could have had told you this already if my crafted superior stability outfit didn't mysteriously evaporate during character copy...maybe superior stability is going away?
It was strange, too, the outfit was gone but the armor skin still appeared on the copy.

Will have to check the crafting altar to see if the recipe is still there.

All in all it looks pretty interesting.

Kinda bummed that they took out the Crucible from the flagging.  But the epic version of the Agility test and the Endurance test will be interesting.  Those two were the parts that really the part that fucked it up for most pugs flagging in the past, at least on Elite.  I don't think I saw a single wipe in there from the actual mobs in 5 years of running it.  The end fight was always a joke.  Back before they nerfed the XP (and also when the only way to boost XP was voice of the master) you could drag 30k from this and Madstone.

Back in the days... you could pull 80K+ out of PoP, Madstone and Crucible. ( normal, no XP Boost )

But they fixed that by putting in the fucking retarded bravery bonus.
And making it sure you couldn't enter Gianthold with a character under LVL 10, fuck...
a LVL 8 party in Madstone, PoP or Crucible was real fun...
( and yes I did Crucible, Normal with a fucknig LVL 8 Cleric, it was good time, challenge and fun )
  

Yes my avatar is an Hermine eating a Greenland Lemming for brunch.

I didn't see anything new last week.  I was hoping that we could craft the low level augment shards. Sad

Nope. No new, altered, or even cheaper recipes. You'd think if they were gonna start augments where cannith stops on spellpower and the like they'd at least remove the purified shard bit. but, well, that would take the people talking to each other to make systems mesh cleanly :/

You must now complete the following quests for raid flagging:
Cabal for One
Prison of the Planes
Madstone Crater


This is so fucking retarded. I am starting to think I may never come back to DDO now  Undecided

I'll grant you that it is a bit disappointing.  Cabal is probably the 2nd biggest cake walk of the walk ups behind TBF.  And it doesn't have the scale or "feel" of Crucible/Madstone/PoP. 

Too many people don't like quests like Prove your Worth/Rackum's Trial or Crucible where the challenge comes from something other than combat, though.  Inferno of the Damned comes to mind too.  Oddly, Monestary of the Scorpion (which has heavy puzzle/trap content) doesn't get as much hatred and gets run often, typically because you can avoid or brute force your way past most of the annoying puzzles and the XP per min is solid.  Lots of people hate Coal Chamber for similar reasons.  Very long quest.  All the fights are small number of mobs with little to no challenge.  Most of the quest is about marioing around as fast as you can.  But Coal has a 0% failure chance, even in a pug.  Elite Crucible at level is a challenge for 70% of the server population. 

Still, back when the cap was 20, Reaver's Fate was a regularly run raid and most people flagged for it regularly.  Since cap raise, though, running the raid become almost as rare as Abbott and Titan.  I pretty much removed it from my speed TR leveling plan, unless I happen to see a quality group doing it when I am in level range. 

All in all, though, it is a minor concern when looking at how cool the Fall of Truth looks and how sweet the loot looks.

This. I can see why they have done it to be honest - I am very casual at levelling TRs and usually only have one on the go and one in hand. My modus operandi is to ask an expert Crucible runner if they have stuff in level to get close. If you had an urgent need apart from XP to run it I think it's a fun quest but given I suspect many of the elite BB crucible PUGs are trainwrecks I have some sympathy for them flexing it.

Just hope they remembered to flex the plot and add flavour text, given you are getting the favour of 3 folk to get to Crag, are you listening, Turbine? Smiley

Meh.  It’s now a “wheat from the chaff” separator.  Epic Crucible isn’t that bad and the named loot is pretty good.
