Well you can start imagining... Bits and pieces of the Code is already in game. Code Item_Sentient_Level [...] Item_Sentient_Sphere [...] Item_Sentient_XP [...] ItemIsSentient and many more... You just need to look for it at the right place. Mr Reilly wrote on Jul 29^th, 2015 at 10:00am: All of the quest entrances will be NPCs standing in a circle in a corner of Meridia. A teleport to Meridia wll be put into the Hall of Heroes. Varg probably suggested just putting the NPCs in the Hall of Heroes and bypassing Meridia entirely but management said that was a stupid idea. The update after wll remove all explorer areas. Quests will be entered by talking to NPCs standing in a circle somewhere in stormreach. The update after that will move all NPCs to the Hall of Heroes. Nah, they won't even bother much with Meridia... because Meridia is part of the Vale Pack, and they can't really set it like Amrath ( as it's also a quest area for the Vale, the first time you go to it. As well as for Greensteel Crafting... while there's no quest to do in Amrath. ) They will put all the guys in a corner ( and add a Meridia teleporter to the Hall of Heroes ) and the guys will send you straight to the quests... no explorer. Lulubelle wrote on Jul 29^th, 2015 at 11:51am: it seems ddo programmers are experts at cut and paste. most of the new content looks so familar Well that's because they reused Shavarath textures... faster to make a quest that way, and cheaper : no need to book some time for the art guys ( busy on other projects ) to produce new texture.

	Another one for the "I'll buy it when it's cheap and then probably never run it anyway" pile. Compulsion to have the complete set of packs will be the only reason I buy this or the last couple of paid updates. Shame. They really need to pull the plug on Lamannia if they want me to keep buying their updates and therefore the TP. Well, or remember how to knock out a less bland set of quests.

The update after that will move all NPCs to the Hall of Heroes. I'm OK with the quests. The trial one is kinda unique in a crucible/prove your worth way. The other two are pretty standard. I wish they hadn't done the portals the demons come out of the way they did. 3 waves, portal gone. I liked how it was in Bastion where you had to kill the portal to get it to go away, otherwise it kept spitting out trash mobs. That's more interesting. My biggest gripe is the above. They missed a chance for Epic Shavarath adventure area. Adventure Areas are a great way to get XP in the ETR world. I use eGH, Kings Forest, eOrchard, Thunderholme, High Road to get slayers racked up for easy XP. Place the quest entrances out there somewhere. Give us teleporters after the first completion for those who don't like to run to the quest, but don't just skip the adventure area entirely. That's really lame. I'm OK with the raid being a step-in deal. Getting raid parties through long adventure areas can be a PITA. See Hound/VoD/LoB/MA for details. But again, that can be handled like in Thunderholme with a teleporter to take you where you want to go.

It's nice in the one quest they give you a rogue-y version with traps, but its just like 5 trap boxes and a bunch of mobs, it's not really very creative. That one is traps in boxes. So little effort, it makes me wonder if they didn't just steal the layout from someone's amateur module.

Yobai, There's people that are dumb/stupid/retarded ( keep the appropriate term ) enough to fucking stand still in the fucking blades and whine that they hurt. I remember the time when they buffed the blades in Shroud and people whined that they could one shot LVL 16 toons... The answer at that time was : don't stand in them. Personally when I see blades, I just give them a wide berth and keep doing what I was doing ( while keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't come after me ).

There was not a single moment where I was thinking, hey, this is fun, or hey, this is new and original. We have seen everything before. This follows what is in my opinion the shitties updates ever. The storyline in epic orchard was ridiculously bad. What saved that update for me was that the quests in orchard are in themselves really good quests, and ofc all the nice items that we wanted there. Then we got ToEE, which was just a stupidly big and boring dungeon. Nothing new, nothing fun, and very quickly just a boring slugfest, killing the same group of monsters again and again and again ad infinitum. And now this. If this years updates are the best that the current developer team can come up with then the game is really doomed� Agree! IMO, not much good content has been produced since U21 with haunted halls and Thunderholm. I did the flagging quests a couple of days ago; short and roflstomp. No challenge what so ever, and no innovative ideas... so far from the quality of the original Shavarath quests.

Just ran the flagging (no, not on EE), and this content is just uninspired yawn. The scenery is decent enough (but mostly re-use), and all the mobs look like rehashes. The mob AI continues to be daft. If you're ranged at the moment, then you're golden. The electric floor trap was the only thing that had me scratching my head until I tabbed to the button. Haven't done the raid yet, but Rubbin's walkthru doesn't fill me with excitement. Why are level 30 quests dropping level 26 loot in the chests? And for the smartasses, no, I'm not doing it on EC. Yeah, love the series reward still giving Heroic loot after the hotfix. Updating or redirecting the loot table was too difficult obviously. Another disappointing effort Turdbine. D- I'd say need to try harder, but they don't. They actually need someone creative and who can think outside the box. I seriously believe they are so up to their eyeballs in technical issues, that they have no mental headroom for creative thinking.

Updating or redirecting the loot table was too difficult obviously. 1) Because there's a 2 to 6 Level difference between Chest Level and Quest Base Level. -2 Levels is the minimal you'll get ( mainly seen in raids ). The most common is -4 Levels. That's how things are done... Supposedly to keep the poer creep in check... Since it predates Plume de Soleil great Ghostbaning of Loot, it's not even possible to make him guilty of that one. ( hell, It's something that was discovered before the Vast and Mysterious era. ) 2) that sucks... you think they would have taken the time to fix it, since it's just a broken reference in the gamelogic.dat file. ( basically both the Heroic Reward Script and the Epic Reward Script points towards the same loot table [ probably because of a copy paste ], they just need to make the Epic one points towards the Epic Loot Table. As said two or 3 days ago by Steel once again when I nagged him in IRC : They are not going to rollback the Great Ghostbaning of Loot, because it's impossible to roll it back. They are aware that there's a problem with the Loot. Said another way : We sucks at fixing old broken things, and we are not going to come near the loot tables, even with a 10' pole to poke them is provided.
