Same shit different day. Instead of shooting multiple arrows you are now shooting one arrow that gets a multiplier for damage. It quickly becomes obvious that these fucks never considered that there are non-damaging on-hit effects that will be nerfed hard by this change. They were asked, reasonably, since damage gets boosted to simulate the firing of multiple arrows will non-damage procs get a similar accommodation? Lynnabel quickly goes from patronizing to condescending to denying that it's a problem unless someone proves it on Lam. I can't even muster any vitriol.  I feel like she probably typed, "Can you give me an example of a non-damage proc" and then hit backspace.

so they getting rid of monkchers
getting rid of melee that would whip out a bow by nerfing crit ranges
getting rid of manyshot style
getting rid of multiple adrenaline
getting rid of on hit procs style of play
getting rid of...

What exactly are we getting instead of taking again???
Some fucking pass.  They keep this shit up this games gonna be a hard pass.

I'm starting to think that cognitive disabilities coupled with severe personality disorders are essential applicant requirements at SSG.

In other words, we are not going to upgrade the single 386 server or remove the multiple partitions on the single mechanical drive for each server. We need to pool resources,  Cordo need his cuckoo clock repaired.

Remind me what the benefits of this pass are?

This is kinda sad because I just recently decided to momentarily return to DDO after one of many breaks. Seems my next break will last even longer.

The situation really just highlights DDO's worst two problems: 1) incompetent devs who don't play their own game and 2) sycophants who enable the shit.

I guess I'll go through another heroic life or two and then quietly begin another DDO hiatus. It's still a fun game to play every once in awhile. But if I played it with any modicum of regularity, I'd go insane. Dunno how you guys do it - my hat's off to you.

Paralyze matters when you are hitting things that only fail on a one. It’s still useful with a high rate of fire.

Fun Fact: If they stopped paying Cordo's salary to roleplay as an effective community manager and maybe shitcanned a couple half retarded devs, they could take that money and get a server that isn't built out of crayola model magic and their spaghetti code piece of shit game might not shit out every other day. Fuckin sad that they have to keep dumbing down their game not because people are too stupid to enjoy the complex mechanics but because it'll fry their potato based server to run anything more complicated than an MSDos game. It's been going on for so long that I'm almost convinced that SSG is low key grifting desperate retards who are too stupid to realize better games exist and actively care about their player base by putting some of their profit back into making the game better and it's not just gross incompetence because I have to hope that no one can be that retarded.

New players might spend dozens of dollars a month. That’s peanuts compared to the whales. Just like phone games, SSG gets most of its revenue from a few people who have seriously unhealthy spending habits and the entire game is focused on retaining and milking those whales. New players are nice, but only as far as entertainment for the whales to PUG with end for maybe the one percent of new players who turn into whales.

I’m not even trying to be mean - it’s just what all of SSG’s numbers and actions make obvious.
