U69 preview on Lamannia

Yes, U69 is behind the corner but no sexy innuendo for you filthy degenerates

https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/lamannia-update-69-preview-1-release-no...

Quote:
These quests are base CR13 in Heroic Difficulty and base CR35 in Legendary Difficulty.

News and Notes:

    Magic of Myth Drannor increases the level cap to 34 upon release, but the level cap is not yet implemented in this preview.
    This preview does not contain loot, augments, and other rewards that will be in Magic of Myth Drannor.


Guess we'll have to wait for second round to get a glimpse at new shinies.

For those wondering, what I quoted are all the release notes for the first preview of 3 quests. Guess they run out of fresh feedback to ignore


Sorry but can't post nude pics. That fucking prude Strake already chastised me once to not go over board with nudity. Either take it up with him or up the ass, don't care  Tongue

Lyn's gone, which means itemization is likely the literal last part of a release now.

I can't imagine it can get any worse.
  

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.

It's pretty bad on the consumers end. Not knowing how the itemization of a major expansion is going to be in the first preview is kind of sketch.

I mean I'll always end up buying the prepurchase (except Saltmarsh, I skipped that year) of an expansion. But if the Eladrin Iconic didn't have universal appeal with the stripper spells, I'd likely have held off since we had no clue on the itemization scheme.

I liked the sharn gear. Fewild was a mixed bag. Everything since has been trash.

Convince the devs to make the game suck less and I'll play more.

Bit of a catch-22, isn't it?

The mistake was mine for giving him some rope. Clearly Noam spams idiocy for the sake of being an idiot.

I think I'm going to try to avoid replying to him unless I really have to, getting tired of "people" like him even existing.

I stopped believing/trying to help/whatever devs during my council tenure... ( first PC year... so long ago )

It hurts me to say that I was one of the promoter of an integrated crafting ( meaning all the then cracfting wre tied together ) along with Fran... ( he resigned over that among otherthings )

I even showed them what could be done on a Never Winter Night Playworld ( not NWN, the original game that was single player with an eventual multiplayer ability that got developped ( by the coppunity ) to a point that it came against real MMO )

Full Disclosure : I used to be one of the NWN *Lands Of Lore : Horn of the Fox* Persistent World dev. before NWN2 happened... NWN2 never delivered what the community hopped ( Linux Standalone server,, ODBC plugin and more ) so I moved along.

Agreeing with Fran hurts in hindsight but I believe an integrated crafting system was the way to go. All these dispirit systems suck.

DDO's loot design simply lacks innovation necessary to entertain people.
The devs gave up on putting abilities on loot when---if you play PNP---you know that gear which gives the players creativity is always the best.

I recently played through Morrowind and was amazed at how simple the loot was---but because that game has absurd physics, a lot of the loot is fun.

Loot should be part of the player fantasy and should affect how the game feels. Stats are only impactful if they make content easier---which DDO has too much of in general.

The replay-ability of old packs was very reliant on the better quest design than what we get nowadays. When the devs do give us good quests now the XP/rewards are so muffed---comparatively---that no one runs them.

(Best quest lately was that one with the cow and the frogs from Thrill of the Hunt, IMO.) The owl quest or whatever it's called.

This.

I get really heavily into fantasy games when I feel like the loot actually matters and that I have choices. This chest piece has better over-all protection, but that one makes me immune to fire damage. Things like that. Swords very specifically mean the most. This is a big part of where DDO really fails.
