Default Price Change: The Vale of Twilight
Good evening! We wanted to give folks a heads up about an upcoming price change for an adventure pack:

In Update 29, the Vale is getting spruced up with "Legendary" content in addition to its standard Heroic content (including Legendary Greensteel). The price of the adventure pack will be changing as a result - as of Update 29 it will be 995 TP in the DDO Store. Anyone who would like to purchase the Vale at its old price will be able to do so between now and Update 29 launch day.

Additionally, though we are adding a Legendary mode to Tempest Spine, we have decided that it will remain a free Raid rather than becoming a purchased item. Tempest Spine was DDO's first raid and as one of the many festive honors for DDO's upcoming 10th birthday, we felt it was appropriate for Tempest to remain free.

Have a great evening and we'll see you in game!



Keeping Tempest free? Nice! So glad to hear that if only for nostalgic reasons. 995 isn't a bad price for Vale either.

Given the added content its a perfectly fair price. 995 TP is around $10USD (with some VERY rough estimation) so really no big deal since its a one-time-purchase-and-you-own-it. Better than any pa-per-click game!
  

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.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

It comes with two adventure areas (Vale and Subterrane), three heroic raids, and 5 quests.  They are adding two more epic raids to it and 5 epic quests.   

And raising the price by 100 TP.  While also giving away Epic Tempest Spine for free.

There's a lot to bitch about with Turbine, but I'm not sure this is it.

did they revamp gh or necro 4 prices upon releasing the "whole new raids"?

Ofc, true, they prolly did not have much work with those... HEHEHE Grin

Ok how about we discuss it after its release? if its gonna be buggy laggy and shitty, will you reconsider?
I will, if you turn out to be right. Roll Eyes

Lol.  If the product is buggy and laggy and shitty, that makes them bad developers.  Not necessarily greedy motherfuckers.  Those are two different things.  I'm not sure how much lower my opinion of them can get after the horrible lag and bugs in DoJ and Wyrm and MoD.  I'm with you on quality concerns, especially lag. 

For "how greedy are they" discussions, though, I wouldn't point to a 100 TP raise in one of the best and most popular packs they have at the same time as they are giving away one of the epic version of one of the most popular quests in the game for free.  I would point more to the pricing on Otto's boxes, Astral Shards(yeah let's make something that players can use as currency but not trade directly.  Every transaction has to be taxed at 30%.  Also you can't get it directly in chests.  Only through the store.  AS are one of the most obvious cash grabs ever), +20 hearts of wood, +7 supreme tomes, and those recently released (And awful) boxes with quest marking flags and remnant pots in them.  The answer to the question, by the way, is "pretty damn greedy". 

But, if you've been playing the game for even 2 years, none of that should come as a surprise at this point.
