The lack of "rebuild this toon as it was before reincarnating" is one of the main reason I only run 1 epic life at before reincarnating from scratch.


agree.  and when i do ETR that toon, i dump his Intel to keep the skills choices to a minimum.

I really can't get over that mindless, carpal tunnel inducing manual re-setting from 1 to 20. It's ok when you level up normally but a whole session clicking like that?

The worst part is when you play an INT based toon. NIGHTMARE


Am I misreading this or do you really rebuild the same setup just to TR back to 1? Just put everything in random shit to get back up to 20, why go through the extra effort?

Yeah, part of why I haven't been doing epic lives along with my heroic TRs. It is a handy way to get a free respec, but a PITA.

Its not *really* a while lot faster to just put in random shit. It's also unwise.

Let's say you go throw in all the random shit, then before you pull the trigger you find out there's some server instability and you cannot risk TR. Now you're stuck with an unplayable character.
  

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.

No, you're partially right.

I should have clarified that now I don't bother anymore but, in the past, I used to ran many epic PL and it was as comfortable as bread crumbs in the bed to reskill some classes. One of the reason I don't anymore is because i really can't be bothered of the mind numbing TR process, may as well hit 30 to 20 and straight to 1/15 (and getting an epic PL + a class/racial one) for a new class.
I do this only because the fucking rockstars don't even know what QoL means.

And some of you fuckers are waiting for a fix to ladder bug  Grin

What logic is that at the end hahah forcing your point so hard
Why, especially if the servers are unstable would I want to play a character that I'm going to TR? Even if it was a good character.

at what point do you think oh shit the servers are fucked I can't TR, better gear up again do my destinys and enchantments again, set my hotbars and spells up and then go back to 30??

I'm not really sure what language you're speaking, but I'm following the gist of it. It sounds like you don't know that some people spread the TR process out over a couple days. ETR, lvl back to 20 --> wait a day or so --> Empty cache --> day or so --> actual Heroic TR. Some people also go in to an ETR not feeling 100% sure they want to HTR immediately after. In general, since it doesn't *actually* take significantly longer, it makes way more sense to apply a real build after the ETR than "just take random shit". Its simple pragmatism: better to be safe than sorry.

"We get actionable feedback" would be less of a joke if they ever actioned any of it.

It sounds like Coco is the only person working on bug reports. No wonder nothing gets fixed. He what, glances at them when he is on a coffee break?

At least its on brand. Steel from a thread on the motherboards said:

Quote:
Resident Challenge expert here, I can answer that one. We technically have most of the pieces we'd need to make them function at CR35 (but no higher than that). But we'd need a fair bit of QA time to ensure that those extra levels function as expected, much more than it would take to actually complete the change. Doing so would also take the 6th star (and its associated Favor) away from everyone that's already earned it for those Challenges - We generally try to avoid altering things that would take Favor away from people that have already earned it.

So: Plausible someday, but would require a time commitment that isn't currently in the cards.


Further indicating how incredibly FUCKED ddo is on the back end. Apparently somehow adding a high CR would delete the favor people already earned from completing a lower CR because "mumble mumble mumble database we don't know how this game even works anymore."

That one makes sense to me. I expect there's a flag for challenge favor that says  "what is the highest level you five starred?" and compares that to "what's the highest level you can run the challenge?"

Yes, that part of it makes perfect sense, its the part where he says "we can't add a 6th star without removing the favor everyone earned from 5-staring it" implying that it's a technical impossibility. Its not; at its simplest form the game is a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet and if it were built with anything resembling common sense, it should be possible to change any of those numbers.

The fact that they can't(assuming it isn't just because of basic incompetence) implies DDO's backend is way more kistarded than anyone could have guessed.

They could copy&paste the challenge code while giving it a new name like Legendary Kobold Island with its own favor and quest giver on the map, along with new ingredients and items.

Steelstar is what happens when a person can only see problems and not solutions.

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

They could also simply create a new favor-tier and have 6th-star reward that level of favor(Cannith already maxes at 150 so not like there isn't room to grow). They could also make 6-start the new max-rank but award everyone with 5-star the same favor level, it cannot be that fucking difficult to solve this problem.

The real tragedy is that they want to make it look as if someone else is coding the goddamn game, read the first that was recently posted and weep.

"We would love to balance the game based on feedback that was reported but we are now denying that ever was even though we just said it was reported in the first place but we cannot do it"

Either the publisher got em by the balls and there was absolutely no change since the WB era or they just admitted they don't have the technical expertise to fix their own game...Or it's both.

The audacity to even claim

As if they fixed bugs! All the fixes we ever see regard major fuck ups like reaper trees not working anymore or minor bullshit regarding THAT update, stop. Took em over 2 fucking years, yes, 2 FUCKING YEARS to fix the display issues with quests level sorting and, apart from that single thing we have seen a goddamn nothing about bugs.

I still never post lfm because I really cannot stand that asinine microtab that lists all the quest and good fucking luck trying to find the chain you want to post an lfm for in there. QoL updates are all but forgotten and these motherfuckers almost want to make it seem like it's not their fucking fault? Sure as hell it's not us coding the game. Rockstars....

Oh, they tweak the numbers on things moderately often.

But by the time it's on Lama, they're way too committed to what they've done to consider going back to change anything fundamental.

Yeah this is part of the reason why I don't post LFM's as much as I  want to. Low level dungeons are quick to do and each time you have to update it searching through this tiny ass window with long ass list.

So I usually post LFM's when doing 14's+, adventures take bit longer and then you can easier edit your lfm.

But with time it will get more and more troublesome to do so, fuck I can't even...

That might be possible. Pale penis master tree was revamped by Steelstar on his lunch brakes. Either he can't do enough work in a day or SSG is a fucking sweatshop.
