Noamineo please stay out of any thread I make.
Or you will be the troll really.
Report me to the forum moderator if I say something that hurts your feelings.
Quote:I find it funny how DDO's hemorrhaged so many players over the past decade, and introduced so many dumb systems, that multiboxing is the go-to method for many styles of play.
I don't believe multi-boxing today is any more prevalent than it was 10 years ago. Its always been a very niche style of play, and really up until the free quests code came along it was extremely rare to find anyone multi-boxing with more than a single alt account
Quote:Generating more slayers for Orchard/Thunderholme/etc. Pulling more chest loot. Soloing some quests like Xorian Cipher which are not soloable otherwise. Opening Shadow Crypt. The list goes on.
I actually dual-boxed Shadow Crypt waaaaaaaaaay back in the day. But I just borrowed a friend's account who already had it. It was kind of nuts but a lot of fun.
Quote:It's ass-backwards and yet Turbine has repeatedly shown they want these systems. In recent years, they've started taking named items AWAY from the 3rd completions, and instead put them in chests: e.g. Delera's, Catacombs. Newer packs/expansions like Sharn, Failwild, and Tethymar only give loot through chests. This sort of thing explicitly and unequivocally promotes multiboxing.
SSG actually outlined their(completely retarded) logic for doing this. Apparently its not possible for the quest-giver to know what difficulty you completed the quest on(and no one at SSG is aware of how dumb that sounds); so they had to get rid of third time completion rewards in order to make us play on higher difficulties. Its so dumb and incompetent that I can't even, but that's the why of it.
Quote:Anyway, I'm late to the party and wasn't able to even view the forum thread before it got deleted. (What was the complaint about???) If the title was so offensive, I'm not sure why Cordoban couldn't just change the title, instead of nuking the entire thread.
the title was "F you SSG, I'm out!" or something to that effect. A(now former player) was complaining about the clearly bugged drop rates and how they finally quite over it. Some people in the thread were discussing multi-boxing as a way to deal with the bugged drop rates. Because we have to just play around the bugs, not get SSG to fix them.
