Happy new year and free XP for everyone

Happy new year fellow DDO players. I have good news for you: Because the new flattened XP curve and the new epic levels make getting back to cap after an epic true reincarnation much more tiresome Turbine stealth boosted lesser reincarnations for a quick start into epic levels. When you make a lesser reincarnation at level 20 (no matter if +0/+1/+3/+5 or +20) you get the amount of xp you needed to reach level 20 (1.9 Million for first life, 2.85 Million for second life and 3.8 Million for third lives and above) granted as epic XP as well. For a third life character lesser TRing at level 20 that is a headstart up to level 25. . (Don’t use up a heart when you already have level 22 or higher because you will less XP or even lose XP!)

Don’t start the new year in the few meager items available at level 2o but start questing with your CitW weapons and epic elite gear. And because you don’t mess around with the game mechanics but just do a regular lesser TR this can’t even be called cheating – I say it is a hidden new year present from our loved developers
Thank you very much for this Team DDO – I appreciate  it very much and wish you all the best for the new year. Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday!

To my fellow vaulties that think sharing is not caring because things will get fixed sooner: This was posted on the motherboard, was probably bug reported s and will be fixed anyway. Open up your hearts and share the good news!

Is there anything special that has to be done, or do you just go do an ordinary lesser? Am thinking this might be a nice plan while it's still working Wink
  

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.

I was actually toying with the idea of doing a lesser for unrelated reasons. I'm leveling through heroic levels on a rogue as an acrobat but I'm leaning mech for most of my epic past lives I'm going to get. Decisions, decisions. Smiley

I'm quite certain its going to get fixed soon, but I wonder if I can hit 20 first. I'm around 500k off and have plans tonight, but maybe I can play all day tomorrow. Anyone recommend a solid plan for grinding out that last half a mill for 18-20?

devs drunk by tomorrow, hangover lasting for sunday, most likely. Then it may take some time for them to fix it, so they will disable grove on monday till sunday...

Wanna bet they will use the disable method? How retard tudbin is on a scale of 99-100? Cheesy

It also works for ETRs. When you level back to 20 after an ETR, don't talk to the lady once you take 20 to exit the Bridge Between Worlds (so before she asks if you want to spend you EPs), log out and back in, talk to her again it gives you all the experience to get you to 30 again. Only thing is, it doesn't give you any karma XP. Super quick ETR's if you have the karma ready and timer resets.

If you want to share, it is possible to do so and still effectively conceal it from Jerry.

You did well with the thread title, but to make it require more effort than Turbine will likely invest, you must put the details in the SECOND post (or later).  Sometimes they find things in the first post, especially when someone sends them a link to the thread.

I would not be surprised to see this hotfuxed by noon on the 4th (along with whatever they do to Tempest's Spine).

I was so pleasantly surprised when I eTR'd my main and discovered I somehow had enough epic XP to get back to halfway through 25. Wasn't sure if it was repeatable though, but will try again before the weekend's up on a different character.

Gah! I didn't think of them simply disabling all reincarnation till it's "fixed" (cough), but that's definitely the more likely scenario.

You overrate Jerrys role in DDO, he is just a badly paid mascot. Someone told me yesterday ingame that he already got a PM about TR giving fat free XP and the Paladins were kind of surprised nothing had happened so far. I told the tard: Dude, they are making money with hearts – why should  they care anyway..

The vault is 80% spam, 15% paranoia and 5% entertaiment. Cheesy

There are very few people who hold Jerry's performance of any role in lower regard than I. 

If anything, he is overpaid for the quality of his work, which is why "hiding" information from him is so easy.

Although it may no longer matter for this particular feature, good OpSec for Jerry is so easy to execute that there's no valid excuse for not doing it.

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.
