I'm an intern, sorry. I didn't have time to learn augments. I've put in a lot of work on item scripts though and there are a lot of cool things in Ravenloft, such as a new Divine Vengeance that scales to level 30 and it's a greatsword

Ugh, why a greatsword? Please tell me there will be a longsword version as well.

Greatsword?? Unless it's eSOS or better profile ... wtf ... get  with the meta. Useless.

which is nice

Thank you for making this.   

It will essentially be a "Look at me! I have no clue how to gear a toon." warning sign to players who know what they're doing.


What are the chances that making a cosmetic of this retains the color changing?  =P

ha and you were the one quoted as saying DDO forumites have the dumbest ideas ... apparently we just found the weak link in this current chain of devs.

for very very "special" kids out there.

I bet Fran will be salivating for this color changing stick.
Scratch that. He is in a constant drooling state.

FTR, wasn't aimed at you (God only knows you seem chipper enough) it was aimed at the company.

But I'll give you a freebie (even though technically this is falls into the PR department, I highly suggest you take this back to them).

The teams biggest priority right now needs to be putting out the fire of concern over the TR caches.  It doesn't have to be fixed ASAP (though...really, it needs to be fixed ASAP) but the community needs to know that this is a high priority.  It needs to be vocalized (over and over) that you are working on a fix for it.

More importantly, you need to make anyone who does lose their TR cache like crazy happy.  Buy them a boatload of strippers, dump at least 100 dollars worth of ddo points into their accounts, give them rare, named loot, collectables, whatever it takes to make them happy.  The word "no" cannot exist in dealing with this issue.

Because the last thing you want is them going to the forums and complaining that they're being ignored or screwed over on this - it destroys brand trust (which...you guys need to work on, that's the nicest way to put it). 

More importantly, it's the right thing to do.  Our TR cache represents not only a lot of RW money, but a whole lot of RW time.  Not respecting that is not respecting your client base.

Meh if it rotated seasons (similar to druid) and had significant boost or unique effects on top of this, I could see it being not completely terrible.

If the color change can be ported to cosmetics, I'd definitely glamour it.

How's the lead paint?

A self aborbed special snowflake's comment.  Sure you are the center of the DDO universe, precious.

On one hand players bitch about a lack of diversity and too much homogenization and a lack of creativity in loot.  On the other hand, at the mere mention of a Great Sword, with no stats.  No crit profile, no base damage die, no effects.  Nothing.  Just Great Sword, people are shitting on it as useless.  So, what?  They should only ever make Great X-bows, shuri, Khopesh, rapier, scimitar, and Falchion or Great Axe?  That would be fun to have no choices?  And then you can complain about gear invalidation, repetitive re-gearing grind, and power creep?  How about you wait and see the actual item and be able to speak from an informed, intelligent point of view?  Maybe it isn't useful.  Maybe it is.  I don't know.  But neither do any of you.  The knee jerk shit posting without information is ignorant.
