"Planning years out": as in planning whole years spent out of the office larping pacman and eating doughnuts.


I've been "planning" to get rich and buy an island in the sun with hula girls and a sugarcane plantation to make rum for years, doesn't mean it's going to happen any time soon. As with all things turbine, this is purely piss and wind until they actually do something, and even then they'll probably fuck it up. Note that they used "expansion" rather than update, so there's probably going to be a hefty price tag for a load of shit.

Sev doesn't say there will be an expansion in 2017. He only says they are discussing not the expansion but if it is possible or not. They will probably conclude that it is not possible.



Yes, but "cool things are coming" which makes it all peachy.

And that is how Severlin shut everybody up about the doom and gloom and end of ddo. He did it on the motherboard forums and here with that simple sentence.
He Possibly Promised something over a year away,  Possibly Promised what everybody wants and hopes for, but kept it at a simple possibly. Knowing that by that time the game will be dead and done and or it will run into the ground with sloppy work ( as it has been done already ).


Yep. I'm not a doomsayer and I'd love to see a MOTU sized expansion come to DDO but over the past ten years of me playing this game I've learned a few things:

1. Turbine is good at good at telling us what we want to hear but is farthest from the truth.

2. They simply do not have the manpower nor skills required to successfully pull it off.

The players weren't sufficiently appreciative of the genius of Bigby's Pointing Hands, so the new expansion will feature Bigby's Flipping Bird - you can apply it to any character you can see, or any character in the LFM or Who panel (even if you aren't accepted into their group) to give them 1 hour of rubber banding and the "Would you like to add Astral Shards" dialogue box every time you take damage that drops you below 1/2 hit points. This effect pauses when in a public area and when logged out.

And if players still aren't appreciative, they are working on a version where the timer only counts down during dungeon alert green or higher.
  

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.

All those chicks you think you'll be picking up are going to be quite disappointed after the snip job.  Be sure to bring along some of your anal toys so you can at least try to satisfy them.

And they are too frightened to go to the beach anyway... so she won't be able to pick any... Except maybe for Paris Plage, because there's a complete check of bags and big concrete blocks to make sure it is safe.
( it's not, any idiot around Paris knows that it's just a matter of dropping a bag filled with a bomb from the
Street Level down to the dock level... there's no security at Street Level... and I'm not even starting at dropping one from a bridge on a Bateau Mouche [ or on Paris Plage ] )

I don't expect something as large as MOTU, that's a wish that's never gonna happen. I'm fully aware they probably can't pull off anything that could be called an expansion without God himself intervening.

It'll be 5 rehashed quests (instead of 3), a raid that becomes playable only one week before they shut the servers down, a bunch of cosmetics lifted from The Legend of Zelda "Ocarina in Time", NPC dialogue from Trump Campaign speech writers and a mutli-pack of colored duct tape so we can LARP with them from home.

Could of sworn you had been portraying g yourself as a Nubian god. But last time I checked they don't usually bother with tanning.

There goes shania singing in my head again. Mmmm don't impress me much.

I'm surprised they haven't gone the avenue of Diablo and reset everything and called it a "season" and let everyone keep one item and give out +4 tomes and a greater xp tome to one character.  yes, it would suck mightily, but not everyone is a triple completionist, there are lots of addicts playing DDO who literally have nothing to do between updates, and it would be a lot less labour intensive than an expansion Wink

I've not bothered actually playing g D3 so not sure how they do seasons but over on path of exile its a rather brilliant mechanic that fosters an active pve competition and player economy. The hardcore seasons especially appeal to those who love to play xp per minute while pushing their ability to tackle content as quickly as possible to gain recognition and win cool in game prizes. Usually unique skinned versions of standard named items.

Personally I recommend POE to any arpg fan as worth trying out. I dropped about 40$ on it over six months of active play a year or so back and while I've not had the itch again yet I keep tabs on it like I do DDO. Its grown in content classes personal bases a NPC mentor system complete with quests for them all as part of its ftp modelmodel
Nothing g at all essential to playing or enjoying g the game is locked behind the pay in option s which are almost all cosmetic related.

I'd posit that one could be employed yet still a loser such as the untouchable caste in india while one inherently wealthy could be an unemployed winner. But I don't think you view is accurate based on the above but I'm guessing your using g sarcasm and forgetting to specify that as is currently a pop culture norm as seen in the show Archer.

So in the future please remember to clearly state sarcasm at the end of sarcastic posts.

I've just said that UNEMPLOYED and LOSER are mutually excusive, you just reinforced my point here. You shoud really go take some reading comprehension classes  Smiley

Playing DDO for the last 2 years has been a constant exercise in autism and I would have been more rewarded if I had just taken a 25 lb sledgehammer to my balls every fucking day. With the lag from the DC move, the community being destroyed by Sev, Cordo-cuck and his fanboi army and now the recent layoffs, this placebo of an announcement is just another behavior some discerning players have become all too familiar with.

I haven't spent any money on DDO since late 2014 and haven't played in months. I'm glad I restrained myself but I still keep a vigil over the game and the friends I've made since playing in 2009. Given what we have seen, if anyone is considering supporting more of the same, here is an illustration of what it is most likely to resemble and actually might be more rewarding.  It's probably how Cordovan got to keep his job too. He would do it anyway so long as he can wash it down with his gallon tankard of cola.
