I fucked up the link.  Deal with it.  If you can't figure out how to find the DDO forums, just quit now while you are ahead.

Moe free shit, moe free shit.
  

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.

Meh.

They'll be just like the bloody footprints except instead of being red, they'll be gold.

Big deal.   Roll Eyes

This is mostly likely to be the case. You know they can't come up with anything original. Eventually people will get bored of it and stop spending money.

My guess is it's an attempt to appease all the crybabies who've been whining about missing out on the bloody footprints because they didn't do hardcore season 1.

Douchebags.

I thought they did the bloody footprints with every HCL season?

It also doesn't make much sense. Like having bloody footprints conceptually kinda makes sense. But gold? It's not like thieves leave golden foot prints. It's just lazy.

Something like dropped coins around their feet as they walk would make sense. But, that would take more work than a cut and paste. So...

I was thinking maybe a trail of white milk for a reward. For all those players being properly milked.

Maybe it should be a trail of jizz leaking from a toon's ass because of all the bending over the players do.

It's better than whatever explanation they will come up with.

It'd be nice if they'd do little events like this on the real servers from time to time. Instead of the grindyass shit we get.

Yes precisely.

I would fucking LOVE a 2-month-long scavenger hunt I didn't need to play 40 hours a week to achieve anything useful.

I'd be down for non-hardcore temporary servers and a permanent hardcore server.

Personally, I'm not a fan of their hardcore ruleset. I DC once in a while and am a zerger by nature so slowing down for me to stop dying is just not fun. I open a door and go poof from some casters every time I roll up on HC.

Embrace an existential approach. Your goal and meaning is defined by who gets one-shotted by a caster the soonest. Tell others to get on your level. You are the master of your hardcore domain.

I'd like a season where they do extra lives again. Something like 2 up front, then one at 10 and 20. Maybe one at thirty for cap. But honestly 3-4 lives would be the sweet spot.

Really, I'd say is 3 is ideal, but I like the concept of giving people a life at about the midway points of where content gets a difficulty bump/you may get complacent enough to die accidentally.

Or frankly, just having a buffer against the inevitable lag spikes.

The more important question is "when do they open transfers off HCL?"
