The stormhorns area is beautiful and it has benefited greatly from the introduction of mounts. However, so many years in since release, four of the eleven rares are still bugged and never appear.

It's a well documented bug. The devs are certainly aware, and simply lack the resources to fix it. AFAIK it's literally just Tonquin fixing bugs, and before that we had nobody doing that job for like a year.
More resources need to be pooled into bugfixing, that's what we buy your Patron Coffers for.

You buy the Patron Coffer because you hope for more resources?! Oh dear. How shall I explain this ...

We may have to agree-to-disagree, but journal/page/whatever hunts are not "exploring". That's a scavenger hunt.
Explorer spots should be actual places, preferably a landmark of some sort.
That said, I'm certainly not debating that they got the area right aesthetically. It looks very cool out there.

Oh no arguement there. At least they are not random like cogs though. I would really like to compare stormhorns to borderlands at some point. I think borderlands is everything that stormhorns wanted to be but (shadow)failed on a smaller scale of course. Stormhorns is what, double the size of borderlands? Tripple?
Generally speaking, I would say random rare locations is terrible design. Random (even if 2-3 different ones) scroll locations is terrible design. Random encounters is fine but rares shouldn't be tied to them (let alone have explorers linked to them as well! Looking at you forest!).

Well yes that is the way they would like people to get their 150+ past lives, but I doubt many people are still spending any real money on those with the game situation as it is with the shutter animation lag in game.
Signed, its an insulting design!
And designs like that just give people good reason to swear off spending any money in game. Recently they have sone some good things but then they go and ruin it by trying to improve mob ai(yet again, the real reason lag started badly in this game between hardcore 1/2). All these calculations mobs are trying to do to be smarter is just bottle necking everything, i can literally cause pathing issues for the mobs and watch the game go into freeze/shutter animations. It is a shame because besides the character creation variation(which is becoming more and more limited because certain enhancements/feats/destinies/gear become more necessary than the other fluff due to quest mechanics), the live action combat movement was one of its best features(nowadays the devs keep trying to promote character building for builds that stand still). If i wanted to play cookie cutter builds in a turn based non action game, it would bot be ddo.

Yeah that's a bug, looking into it.

Beyond the 3 missing rares, there's 1 rare that's counting twice too (as 2 different entries). Just to be precise. Thanks!

Yeah, I see that. Going to fix that too.
