From the PC application, the last question asked:

18. Please provide us with feedback as well! One of the things we are planning to bring to DDO in 2015 is a new class called the Warlock. We’d like to get your thoughts on this class. Please answer the following questions:

a. How familiar are you with the Warlock class in the Dungeons & Dragons pen and paper game?
b. Which DDO classes did you play when they were initially released?  Why or why not?
c. The Warlock utilizes powerful Eldritch Blasts to decimate their enemies. How do you envision this being implemented in DDO?
d. What are the most important Warlock features and details you want to see?


Classic Turbine, asking these question after they decided to force it on the game. 

Little tip for any hopeful brown-nosers, you better say that you like the idea.

"Decimate" means to kill one out of every ten. Not so powerful after all, those eldritch blasts.

No idea.  but I played a Psionicist so... profit?

I played every DDO class immediately after it was released.  I always want to see just how badly you guys fuck it up on release.  then I go back to playing something else until you've 'fixed' the new class by making it insanely OP, and then I play it again until the forum crybabies demand a nerf.

I envision a shittier, ersatz sorcerer re-using the eldritch knight tree and some other crappy hybrid tree where you've cobbled together the worst enhancements from two existing shitty trees like Henshin & Deepwood sniper.  I also expect no new spells worth a shit, if any, and that you will devise yet another ridiculous mechanic to prop up the Warlock but yet fucks over ever other casting class because it will be implemented without and testing whatsoever.

hopefully something completely unnecessary that no player has ever asked for like Spell Agility Power.  the loopholes to the broken mechanic will allow sorcs and wizzies to wear full plate, make melees obsolete again, and accidentally introduce arcane spell failure to divines.

I want something that will make Cletus cry about melee dps, Chai froth at the mouth about pay-to-win, and Boogre resume molesting his nephew.  I also want it to be strong enough so Jerry can actually survive a normal run of water works.

I'd vote for you.

heh, if i do remember well, most warlocks i ve met in PnP decimated enemies not by eldritch blasts but by unending evards black tentacles:)

How i read that part is.
We at turbine hq picked up a random class to add to ddo while blindfolded.

After we picked warlock we added it to producer letter.
After that we went and checked what and how that class works.
We saw some ranged attack spell mechanic, we saw some blast manipulation mechanic, we saw a caster who doesnt use spell points (we didnt like this since we wont sell sp potions), we saw new spells, we saw it can be melle ranged, at will or a blaster or cc type of caster.

After talking to the team we came to the realisation that we fucked up with our choice.
So, what would you as a part of pc do to not make this as fkd up as it will be?

I like how they steal other's people ideas and call it following the player's feedback.

Trying to imagine how good ddo would be if those incompetent idiots made ddos code open source.

Some of us would actually mess around with it and optimize the shit and mess they did.
Might actually make the game less laggy and shit

Cracking Attack: Melee Attack: Deals +1/+2/+3[W] extra damage. Damaging enemies reduces their AC by -1/-2/-3 for 20 seconds. (Activation Cost: 5 Hit Points. Cooldown: 30 seconds)

Wade In: When you Supreme Cleave, you gain +1 Primal bonus to Attack and -1 AC per enemy damaged, up to 3/6/10 maximum. Lasts for 4 seconds.

Do You Like Pain?: When you are hit: [20/40/60]% chance attacker loses 10 AC.

All 3 of these are 100% useless.

If you had taken time to actually read the post I likned you woulf have found : (If you see "---" that means text was removed; likely a penalty or condition.)
Moron it was YOUR AC that was decreased.

As for the other ones... They were there BEFORE the FUCKING PC, they date back from the Enhancement Crash, so the PC had no hand in thinking them.
We tried to change stuff... In some case it worked in other it didn't.

Damn someone is writing like a mad man to defend the PC

Fair enough.
Come back stronger fellow eurotrash

Are you trying too defend the PC too retard?

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/450656-Barbarian-Frenzied-Berserker-Ch...

Here that sums it up nicely

90% of the people in PC disagreed on the direction where the Devs were trying to push barb but they went ahead and did their thing anyway.

Ignoring every critisism/healthy feedback no matter how nice it was,which was the reason to have a PC in the first place.

Racist?Dude what part of fellow Eurotrash you dont get?My country has to deal 10 times the fucking racism that France is facing.

If this forum have become a ladies club and you are the president i pass.

If PC was serving any purpose and there was a majority vote on changes even with Devs having a +20 vote sure but i am not a fucking free Beta Tester/Trophy wife

People already said that they were given the choice to choose which pack should be epic first the majority voted Vale...we got Necro 4 instead,when people were asked why? the answer from even PC members was that there wasn`t a majority that by definition means most of the people chose it instead of the other packs proposed.

Flav was drunk he couldn`t remember which Barbarian skills we were talking about and Red replied since i wasn`t here

When you makes statements like these
