	Can anyone comment on the closed beta new quests? Divine Disciple tree or anything redeeming about enh changes? "Random" effects found on named "loot". Anything? We have some tidbits but nothing super tasty. Like a big wasteland of meh and zzzz

	With the lack of information provided by Turbine about the expansion, it's not a surprise that so few people are in the closed beta.� FFS the preorder page doesn't even mention raising the level cap to 28, and it was never updated to include details on what content will be delivered: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/416985-Can-you-tell-us-how-many-advent... Absolutely terrible communication and marketing from Turbine.

Kind of depends on your point of view.� If I can sell what is potentially a rubbish product without telling anyone what's in it, then why would I go into details?� If it's truly rubbish then all I can do is hurt sales by providing details.� i.e. If I'm successfully selling shit and people are buying it thinking it's choclate pudding, I'm not going to disabuse them of that notion. People were buying this day one without even knowing how many quests were being provided (to state just one glaring omission).� Why would Turbine mess with that?

	Will play this weekend. It was quite the massive download, which is not something you want to start at night if you want to go to sleep. This is what you want to know is the way I read it 1. You want to know about the new quests? 2. You want to know about the enhancement trees? It's new, so you have to get used to it. Currently, I am not a fan. 3. You want to know about random loot? The thing I found disturbing is that there was actually someone on the test server that was level 28 that wanted to PVP against 1st levels on up. I thought about going in and lying down and telling him how awesome he was. I am not a fan of PvP. I will be a fan once I can get items from characters if I beat them, once I can get favor for it, and once I can get XP for it. Until then, PvP is not for me.

	I didn't succeed in logging in to the main forums after the change occured and couldn't be bothered to put more effort into that let alone downloading Lam client. I am guild leader of a small level 84 guild on Khyber. We are <100k from 85. I am f2p but have most of the adventure packs. Turbine imo is definitely moving away from releasing content available to ViP w/o some kind of pre-purchase. I can easily live without 10% run speed and 10% XP. My guildies paid for the previous ship, the current ship and have already pre-paid for our level 85 ship. My guild-mates are the main reason I continue to play as much as I do. The static Bladeforged group they wanted to put together is the reason I pre-purchased the $50 SF pack. Extra TP, Character Slots (yay! brought a couple favorites out of retirement and un-muled a couple other toons) were not needed but much utilized. I've tracked the sorted history of the Enh Pass so have enough of an understanding to be cautiously open minded. My unfounded, inexperienced opinion of Lammania is that is by and large Candyland for fanbois with a few players that give enough of a shit to continue playing AND "test" the new material. I am ok with seeing it when it comes out. But would still like to know... If the new quests are objectively fun? Has anyone re-built a character on Lammania with the new Enh Pass and enjoyed it?

	Once Turbine figures out what the fuck a beta is supposed to be, I'll start participating in them again.

A lot of the bitching and moaning was actually a lack of outside the box thinking. There are some neat possibilities. I've got beta access, but, yeah passing info to people who didn't want to pony up? No thanks. You wanna know whats going on? Get the pack. It's not like you have to pay for it. There are people on Khyber who will give you a code for an ottos box or EE visors, etc. Farm some loot and make a deal.

Buying the pack now won't get you access. I bought it a few weeks ago, and I don't have access. They will roll people in over time, based on activity I assume, but I'm guessing that if you buy now you'll probably only see Lama when it goes open.

But that completely ruing Ashera's fanboi asshole narrative. I did the same, bought a code with a gear trade. Why buy something when people will give it away? The "private" beta is beyond stupid. Everything gets leaked in people's guild forums and places like this anyway. There's no point in trying to keep it secret.

	I only care about access once the final enhancement pass has been pushed to Lamannia.� That won't be for a few weeks, and they'll open it up to round 2 of closed beta (post June 5th purchases) or open beta it by then.

My old human PM will limp on in PM/Archmage form. No DC's to speak of, will play like a force archmage in shiradi. I can see stick builds being decent and fun but didn't plot one out. My FvS will probably continue to be sucky.

Or, maybe I see that they are making some good decisions and some bad ones. And I wait to get too worked up until I have a chance to see the finished product. Also, you seem to conveniently ignore when I gripe about the recently announced quest ransack changes, complaints about the ED XP, the bigby's boxes, and several other items. Because it doesn't match your "he's a fanboi" rhetoric. Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant, though.

That's kinda stupid. If you buy the pack today, you should be in beta tomorrow. That's a poor choice on Turbine's part if they want to sell pre-orders. It's not it would be technically challenging to let people in at this point. (Big Junk, please feel free to ignore this criticism of Turbine by me)

	They're really overdue for something better than TR for changing race. They should just let LR change race, IMO.

I really like how my traditional Pew Pew Blade Barrier Artificer has wound up. My force spell power is higher than it is on live and I now have options for fire and electric. I can see some synergies with Draconic Incarnate now. Also, being able to run around at full speed with the rune arm perma charging makes that a more enjoyable experience.
