Yes I capitalized every word of the title. That's how I lured you here.



Mysterious Fragments/Remnants ... why do you think the reward list sucks and includes 1 new cosmetic pet worth 10,000 remnants?

It's simple: (if) there is an exploit to dupe remnants, then some people are going to be running around showing off their new cosmetic pet that screams "HEY I DUPED THE NEW COLLECTABLES".

This is both an indication for Turbine that there is an exploit and points to the more stupid exploiters so they can be EXTREMELY PREJUDICED(tm).

Well, maybe not the devs themselves, but the pileons in my server will surely start ratting eachother out when they start seeing more people with the stupid lion.

No.

I know it doesn't concern the good people of this forum, because they would never be stupid enough to buy a cosmetic pet.

See I feel like that's the major flaw in your otherwise clever argument Tongue

The other flaw is that, come on, seriously? Turbine is NOT that smart!
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

It's funny, because that's the first thing I thought of.  Maybe by design, but...  What was the polar bear?  10,000 too?

I'll never understand cosmetic pets, personally. I have some I've gotten from various things and even bought a cosmetic hat for one, and it still got old after about five minutes. If inventory management wasn't such a nightmare I'd have saved the certificates and sold them Tongue

You must play on Thelanis.

We're home to a lot of the biggest tattlers in DDO.

And here I thought you were going to tell me they finally figured out how to pee without getting their shoes wet, you lured me in here with all caps for that?!

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

by Sunday everyone who wants a lion cub will have one since you can easily get 1000 rems/day just playing.

Yeah I feel like the logic of the OP is somewhat trumped by the people who play ridiculous amounts and do everything absurdly fast. I recall when Iconics first came out seeing level 28s within days... I know this isn't much of a feat to most people but as someone who only manages a life every few months(at best) it was kind of a shock Tongue

True... But we also have folks like Victor and myself. At least it's not the ghost town other servers are.

And yeah, I'm sad... but I'll be buying that cosmetic pet for the 10k, once I actually play enough to get 10k. I have a shitload of cosmetic pets. It's just amusing. Though, I think I've played all of 30 minutes now since patch :/ So it will be a long while before I get that 10k. Even if I could log on and dupe the 10k, just don't have the interest atm. Too busy enjoying being raped in Dark Souls 2 atm. Yeah, I suck at it. Yeah, I die a lot to red ghost invaders... But, it's fun Cheesy

I had the same thought...

And it wasn't all that hard to reach 10K to get it... without duping.

But yeah, that list made me think of the Ice Games... but I think I already posted that yesterday.

if at least the special ones have some minor perk - like similars from secret world for example (giving small chance to get a heal and such)

Why is it stupid to buy cosmetic pets? Because it has no ingame advantage in quests and stuff?
And I bet on the other hand you don't like pay2win stuff in the store...

Not too smart of an idea to discourage players to buy cosmetic stuff in the store, because that just leads to more pay2win stuff... Somehow they need to make people spend real money for the game.

Hmmm... Or maybe like a pet bonus +1 to one skill and each type of pet giving bonus to a different skill. That would make them meaningful.

Or even modify their sizes and makes us Mount them (no new animations needed make us like climbing ladders) and run around with our new mounts and another bright idea  flying mounts and battlegrounds and fuck F2P lets make everyone pay a subscription to even log.

I can tell by your typing that you are an uneducated fuckwit.  This explains why you think books are bad.  I bet you think school is hard and you shouldn't have to repeat 7th grade again this year.

+1 to one skill (say like intimidate) is not OP where you already have some skill scores around 90-100.

Btw I guess you want this:

Yes, the Polar Bear is 10,000 Winter Motes.  But since Risia Ice Games had been out for a couple of years before Midwinter Games many players had stockpiles of Winter Motes.

Cosmetic Pets, completely pointless.  A waste of my graphics card time to draw.
