I feel seen! Quaffs Invisibility Pot

While you’re under the hood of the store, can you fix the “show unsuitable” flag as has been mentioned on the forums numerous times.

Selected internet-enabled business models in a nutshell: Adobe: Users are a recurring revenue stream, let's make products with best-in-class features, mandatory subscriptions and high switching costs! Facebook: Users are the product, let's make our sites ubiquitous & addictive, then sell their...

Setting forth my expectations for 2024: Something fun I like about the game will be removed under the auspices of “performance improvements” and yet performance will not improve DDO producer will publish a vague update letter and then vanish inexplicably for another year without responding to...

This is what I have suggested in the past - for example, just paste in the “roar” from the bear in Slaver’s, and let everyone get a good chuckle. This bug is so annoying, and for me it causes crashes when I do not use headphones vs. being fine when I do use headphones. But then again, I’m a...

And so it does...I transferred the test case toon from Hardcore to a normal server and the VIP ticket did appear once on the normal server. Forum Hive Mind 1, Lag 0. Could have sworn I used that elixir of discovery in past HC seasons. Oh well, I'll chalk one up to senility.

I'm pretty sure this has not been the case in the past, but my memory is not perfect.

So I just created a new toon on Hardcore (did not receive ticket) And one on a normal server (did receive ticket) (Loot): Thank you for being a VIP. Please find Saltmarsh VIP Reward Ticket in your inventory. There is definitely something wrong with the Hardcore server around this

Attention to detail is not SSG's strong suit. 2PM...3PM...what's the difference?

I think this is a very interesting concept - what if it were combined with a requirement (or you get a bonus multiplier to the XP stone) to be on the Favor or Reaper leaderboard at the end of the season? Would provide a further incentive for players to push their comfort zone and keep active in...

It would be completely off-brand, but some sort of statement or acknowledgment from SSG management is way overdue on this. Here, I'll draft something SSG can copy/paste: We continuously monitor system resources and performance, and are aware of the increased lag as of late. Frankly the current...

You're 100% right, I have no idea about how DDO's code actually works. But I do know that if the game experience does not improve, more and more users will be compelled to reduce their spend and/or leave...and at some point it will not make financial sense for SSG to keep the lights on. And...

Fair enough, maybe what I'm proposing is merely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but I for one want this Titanic to keep sailing for a few more years. And if squeezing 10% better performance out of this ancient single-threaded engine with a mountain of tech debt haphazardly piled...
