I already have access to Epic Destinies. Will I lose that access such that I'll have to buy at least the Standard edition to get them back??


I think they're just trying to sell ED to people that used the coupon to get all quests except the expansions and didn't bother buying them in the first place. That is the only logical thing I can think of.

Either that or they're going to fuck up royally with the player base

Wilderness area looks cool, probably LOTRO team did all the good work there. Funny how everyone's talking about ponies and fucking tomes of fate...

yeah, that's all neat and cool, but this is a total letdown:

Feywild is filled with dangers awaiting you in 13 Quests, a Wilderness area, new public zone, and a Raid!

Bruh you charge your mediocre expacs for AAA prices and can only produce one raid.

Or you think that they bundled in something that people might already have just to make sure that new players who don't have it already won't have to go to the hassle of making a separate purchase to  utilize the features of the expansion?

That would drive a lot of players away. I think it’s just meant to be a way to entice some of the new players and give them access to Epic Dest.

I would hope these answers will be the case. They do make sense.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Yeah I'm assuming they just threw EDs in for all the new players. All 2 of them that stuck around after the banwave.
  

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.

Since there's only 1 i guess that means we're not getting another no-flag raid. And since there's 13 quests you can bet your ass its gonna mean 13 flaggers.

And as an added bonus: a bare minimum of 2 of them will be utter shitnickers of quests.

I really hope you're right and SSG isn't going to hit a new low.  Granted I only give them a 1% chance of being that dumb but I've seen them try to be overachievers in this category before.

That said fuck,  they really know how to make me not want to spend my money.  Main things I'm interested in beside the content are only in the big pack that I won't pay for.  So I'll just wait and buy it with points.

I don't mind one or two quests being like Amber Temple or Invitation to Dinner, same with dashing mode quests where you go from point A to point B. Those straight forward Masterminds of Sharn quests made farming for items less painful.

But I can't this shit slide,  cause they had plans of increasing level cap with an expansion that has one raid. All this talk that they "want to make things right" is just a total bloated sack of festering shitvomit. SSG was on the way to do a turdbine move, thanks to chinese commie fucks for covid it didn't happen.

Level cap is delayed and maybe we will se another expansion next year or they will have little patience and will shove their revamps and cap raise with just regular update.

All the negative things aside i do like the screenshots of the environments in this expansion.

These bundle prices get worse and worse. I could buy the cheap one just to get the expansion, or I can pay 90 dollars more and ignoring the (my little pony/pointless armor) crap which I don't care about, I get the universal tree and the +1 destiny point.

Not even a few shards, xp pots etc. to make you feel like you got something more than one thing per additional tier.

Given the money train must flow and the current D&D climate with Baldur's Gate 3 in early access;

I'm imagining next year will drop an expansion to finally add the psionic class(es) and probably shit out the Githyanki rather than the Kalashtars because Severlin has a boner for Githyanki like the folks at Larian apparently.

Eh... after what we just went through SSG deserves some of my money for not banning me. The price is fair for a filthy exploiter who got away with it Tongue

Wouldn't you?  I mean just be honest here.  If you were running things you'd start the ban wave next week after pre-orders have been open for a week.

Fuck.  Then what.

DDO 2030.  Your sentient gem fucking thing can now sing a song of sixpence while driving a coach being pulled by your 6 strong unicorn team provided they are level 16 unicorns with the well hung nut sack feat taken by at least 4 of them in conjunction with the fuck tard holding the weapon between their first and second toes.  If after singing the song 3 members of the raid group have died because some crack addict yelled Leroy Jenkins and cast Grease smack in the middle of your group, you then gain the temporary buff of GOD (complete ban immunity and full dupe capability) for 2 whole seconds, most of which will be consumed by the server having to rewrite the shell scripts that power this fucking game.

My point being it's already ridiculously complex.

The Tome of Destiny does what it says and you get it right away. 25 points in my EDs.

And I'm not big on cosmetics, but the Eladrin armor looks really good.

I haven't TR'd to Shifter yet or seen any in the wild.

I have no interested in either the iconic or the race except to move through to regain completionist. I DO plan on trying an Assimar Scourge Pally with Feydark for Cha to hit/dmg tho

Are the cosmetics BtA? How about the dead-eyed ugly unicorns?

Well the main question is can I throw the cosmetics away on my main but transfer them through shared bank in case I ever want to wear them. Same thing with the horsies. I had to throw out my small wonderous mount bag because it was BtC and I just did not have space for it, fortunately the Borderlands horse is BtA so I can just throw that in the shared bank through a TR.

I have a mule character with a completely full inventory just of cosmetics. I don't even like cosmetics, so it's just the ones automatically given to every single character from the expansions and the borderlands/WPM extras. But I'm too stubborn to throw them away because I technically paid for them.

Hopefully SSG figures out that they need to do an "item storage pass" update sooner rather than later.
