MLers disagree, but they dont get to be as outraged, because anyone seen as too negative gets booted.

This reminds me of when Windows Vista wasn't selling because it was garbage, so Microsoft, instead of fixing Vista so it was worth buying, discontinued XP so people HAD to buy Vista.



that's probably what turbine has planned for U21:  discontinue XP so players have to buy Hearts of Wood.

Let me throw this out there... What if they make more sagas on the Eberron side?

You know all the different storylines they had when the game was preMotU?

I know there's one that goes something like...WW/STK/THRENAL...I think tempest Spine also goes in there.

I know there are a few others.

They said Sagas would get the Comms well they didn't say ONLY the current sagas will give them.

Just a thought.

Make content they didn't create more attractive?  Now you are just talking bat-shit-crazy talk.  Get a grip man!

But be need possibilities to get the new hearts now and not in 2 or more years. Letting us TR while giving us epic tr and iconic tr without a fun way of grinding for them they better wait till they got the mechanics finished.

And that quests don't get accounted for sagas when you are dead while completing the quest is making Sagas even worse for any important item in the saga reward list.

Yeah, you just don't die but especially the weaker players Glin wanted to balance out regarding needed time for a tr heart are going to be hit by this bug very hard. Especially if you die in one of the quests you don't like...

Actually...
[QUOTE=Vargouille;5146204]Here's some things that are up for discussion here at Turbine.  We're trying to come up with more public proposals Soon(tm).

* Binding of Commendations of Valor
* Binding of Hearts of Wood (if these are BtA and the Commendations are BtC, you can still farm with an alternate character. And we can still re-use Commendations of Valor in the future for other items that we feel should be BtC, or use for upgrading BtC loot, instead of adding an additional new ingredient type in the future and an additional way to get that new ingredient.  This is not a done deal in any case, as this also means you cannot combine ingredients from alternate characters.)
* Additional ways to earn Commendations of Valor besides Sagas, for U20.
* Whether or not Sagas earn Commendations of Valor at all.
* Whether or not the methods for earning Heroic True Hearts of Wood are the same as the methods for earning Epic Hearts of Wood or Iconic True Hearts of Wood.
* Whether or not we phase out Tokens of the Twelve at any point.
* Whether or not we phase out trading in Tokens of the Twelve for Heroic True Hearts of Wood at any point (probably not).
* What content you can use to earn various Hearts of Wood.


We're also trying to make sure that today's Lamannia release showing off other aspects of Reincarnation goes smoothly and that you guys have what you need in order to give good feedback. [/quote]



They did originally say only sagas in U20 originally, and "Maybe we'll add more later...
Apparently the shitstorm has them rethinking that.

One word: Duping.

I'm convinced that a HUGE number of players duped a HUGE number of tokens. So many that they simply can't ban everyone who did it. This is probably one of the few ways they can try to lessen the impact in the long term. I fully suspect that the ability to trade tokens for Hearts will be removed completely at some point, sooner rather than later.

Or I could be completely full of shit. Wouldn't be the first time (this week)...

and what should this huge number of players do with this huge amount of tokens? trade them in for 100 hearts and outdated augments for each of their characters? aside the fact that hearts are btc and dont stack. where to u wanna store all these hearts? put them into bank/inventory > tr > level to 20 to store more hearts > tr again > repeat process..

I still wouldn't give a shit?  seriously, the saga thing is pretty lame as new ideas go.  we already get end rewards for quest chains.  now we get lame end rewards for stringing them together?

yep I still wouldn't give a shit.

I'm sure this is how that discussion went:
Who wants to get fired by saying we shouldn't do any of this?

Not sure if it even matters at this point, but I caught smth on updated Lammania release notes:

NEW: Epic Destiny twists are reset upon Heroic or Iconic true reincarnation

Another band aid to fix the "twist" bug? xD

Trade those for 3, 4 or 5 hearts if they have any idea what their toon is gonna be or whatever ( I bet 4 or so lives is plenty to do for a year or two for average player )instead of cluttering inventory with thousands of useless shit or 100 hearts and get banned  ?
Yes, that would be my guess what most have done ( or going to do ).

yea ive done that with my 150 tokens that i got while raiding as soon as they announced the token for hearts to b out of the game. However, the one i replied to said that the comm of valor option is implemented because too many have too many tokens which has a "huge impact" on the game which i simply doubt because one can only use a certain amount of hearts before hes a triple tr.

This flat out doesn't work and you can still twist.  There is text that says "Cannot reset twists in heroic levels" that appears when you talk to the trainer... but you can.

More interesting to me is the 'you have equipped inappropriate magical items' buff that acts like Suulo chains and slows you down.  Terrifyingly, I could not make it disappear from my main even when I stripped totally naked, logged out, and logged back on and re-dressed. 

A TR fixed it though.  Worrisome that it might hit a level 6 character that can't go TR though allegedly they have fixed it for future builds.

I think it's to stop Charonous' legacy exploit.

I'm the gift that keeps on giving.  I hope that debuff goes live and goes crazy so that it gets reported to things like massively.  I still want to see Turbine burn.

Does anyone know if ANYONE at Turbine has ever been fired?

Or is it possible to endlessly fuck-up and still keep your job?

Which would explain why every incompetent gravitates to Turbine because they know its a safe bet.....which in turn leads to more train-wrecks ..... Undecided

Turbine has had several rounds of layoffs over the past ~3 years that I've been paying attention. Feather of Sun even posted on the Vault after one layoff to reassure us that not to worry, everyone good at their jobs had been retained. No joke.

Meaning that everyone good at their job ( beside the QA Kobolds ) choose to jump from the sinking ship and got fired.

Honestly, since the MoTU closure firing round, things went for the worst at each update.

The original DDO Forum Moderator, Quarion, was let go because, as the rumors say, of some issues regarding harassing certain forum members.

Tarrant, another DDO Forum Moderator, was removed from that position and "re-assigned" to some other position within Turbine supposedly. My question is, "Where?" Desktop Technician? Janitor? He certainly didn't receive a promotion.
