Mind elaborating? Also what do you think of Legendary Forgotten Axe?



Anything that gives vulnerable or armor piercing helps immensely during boss fights.

The axe itself has an expanded critical threat, previous to its release the only other named hand axe in the entire game was ML13 and dropped out of Litany and only Litany. It's no Tiefling's Assassin's Blade, but it's got good shit.

Good catch: I forgot that Assassin's Kiss is the only dagger with x3 crit multiplier.


Sky Pirate's Dagger is x3 as well.

Not relevant for a Crit Range/DPS argument, just sayin' Assassin's Kiss isn't the only one.

And it's all but unbeatable as a weapon for a low-level SwBard.

Forgot about this little gem.

7 years, 11 alts, and too many past lives to count... I have yet to see one drop.

I call bullshit.  Angry

I know, right? How do they make such an awesome weapon for use at level 4 but can't make an equivalently good one for use at higher levels, SoS notwithstanding?

This always amazed me as well.

I was stunned when the 3bc Heroic weapons weren't made Epic, and downright gobsmacked when the Orchard weapons weren't either.

Seems they didn't have enough interns in the meeting room Pac-Man LARP when these decisions were getting made.

I can't remember seeing one drop, but they are unbound, so check the AH regularly.  They show up rarely, and generally for 2 mil plat, but it's probably worth it.  (Side note, and news to no one, but damn the shardhouse killed almost every sale like this.)

Weapons with abnormal threat are lightyears ahead of those without. I think it was to avoid forcing people to use those instead of anything else.

Yeah, there's practically nothing in the AH anymore.

I post stuff there as public service, but anything that has actual value gets posted to the Shard Exchange.

I'm not sure exactly when the turn around happened, but it's quite noticeable now.

I don't think turning the game economy into a Real Life Money economy is good for sustainability, even in the short term.

It means that we're all one feature away from another Dupapalooza Boom Town at best or a Diablo 3 style, law-suit ridden, server closing disaster at worst.

To your original point, I never think to search the AH for this, I guess I'll make it part of my daily scouring routine (like when I stole a Lantern Ring for 25 shards). Grin

I used to have a toon just for throwing rando useless rare items up on the ASAH. Sometimes an idiot will come along who just has to have that T'Korcha Family Scimitar for their unhealthy hoard. Another neat aspect was that I always knew when a plat/shard-affecting sploit went active. Suddenly half the useless shit would sell.

Yeah, it's funny how you can tell what kind it is, too.  Did a pretty fair trade in large bags, back in the day.  Suddenly *everybody* needed them for some reason.   Tongue

Even I get a funny feeling in my tummy when I think about this, and I'd probably get rich (or sued, yeah).  There's no way they could pull it off.  Too much history, and too much outstanding shitty code.

Probably get a massive population bump for a couple of days before the meltdown, though.  They should do it before a planned server closing.

DDO will never close, having seen behind the scenes. It's alive and has successfully killed the last network engineer they sent to turn it off. It's sentient and is probably reading this thread right now

beware

Is that the bot that claimed it wasn't a bot, trying to buy sploits for bitcoin?  Hmmmmm

I'd trade it a dupe bug for having power attack on and hats off when I log in.

Who, me? I don't own any bitcoin and I don't want any exploits, I'm here to talk about my favorite game with passionate people Smiley

I'd pay YOU bitcoin for an real API.   Grin

Different bug - that was just for the +2 Silvanus thing... I *think* they fixed that one. 

This is a stacking issue, like the crit range is 2 better with one thing, and 1 one with another, but only 2 when both are on, and it should be 3.


Celestial Champion has always had the zone deactivation bug.

Yeah, fixed with a weapon swap.  And the Silvanus thing, you have to turn it off and on.  It's so fucking annoying - every time you go through a door, you have to toggle a bunch of shit just to make sure everything's on, since the icons won't even tell you.  "Why is my damage such shit?  Oh right, I switched toons for 10 seconds to get that necklace off Gimpface and now Power Attack and all my stances are off."   Roll Eyes

Makes my blood pressure rise just typing this shit!  AGGGHHHH

Are you serious, he was Grand? Wow, shows what you miss if you don't keep up with vault drama. Color me impressed, dude pulled off the act expertly.



He singlehandedly gangraped Ash so hard, dude's got a cross between a sock fetish and phobia now.



ROFLMAO!  Thanks, I did seem to work Ashley up into a tizzy didn't I?

The funny part is Ash was never more than a side project, or a hobby of convenience while I was hassling real targets! hehe, still pretty good angst pay-out for little effort.
