    U72 Preview 2: True Reincarnation

    The two changes we have been asking for over and over again for years is: 1. Have the full past life penalty take longer than life three to kick in. Let players get the first few lives under their belt more quickly so that they can at least be close to par in one role (DC casting, martial...

    +9 or +10 tomes ever coming?

    While it would annoy me to have to spring for another tome on a character that already has +8 on everything, given the way tomes work +10 tomes would actually have very little impact on most of the game. +8 is already overkill for heroics. +10 probably wouldn't kick in until around level 28...

    Why are casters still nerfed in R7+?

    Because the running meme for years now is that any caster in any gear and with any build, no matter how crappy, can instantly vanish every mob in a dungeon by casting two spells the moment they step through the quest entrance. Also all martial characters are gimped to the point of being nearly...

    The Power Creep gap imbalance, The destruction of the average player base

    Every single time this comes up, two suggestions for catchup mechanics that wouldn't break the game always come up: 1. Frontload racials 2. Make the 3rd life XP penalty take longer to kick in. Like say ten lives instead of two. Since we have been asking for that for literal years now, the...

    Racials Points After 18?

    Waforged in general for that matter are really strong. Especially on a martial build it's a very stong tree.

    Battle trance wasted space?

    I find trances annoying to use becuase they only last two minutes a pop. Unfortunately, as others have said, they are all but mandatory on any high end martial DPS build.

    Genuine question: Why doesn't VIP spell swap apply to Wizards?

    A wizard can change spells at will in any bar. They can even change them at a rest shrine in the middle of a dungeon. Is having to find a bar to change spells than much of a huge inconvenience? How many public areas don't have a bar anyway? Gatekeepers grove is the only one I can even think...

    Think of the Content in Ravenloft & Saltmarshes

    I don't think they murdred their children. They locked them in the attic and they starved to death (likely after the parents got killed by something they summoned). Still that doesn't make it exactly rainbows and kittens. The quest also has infidelity, murder and infanticide. DDO has a lot...

    Are the Dice Rigged?

    They aren't rigged, but you will get unusual streaks a bit more often than you would with a completely random system (not that I haven't seen the occasional bit of "Wow, freakshow" with systems I knew were completely random). I've seen it in pretty much every PC game I have ever played where...

    Fred's First Date has bugged out multiple times ...

    Bugged for us as well, on the same step. Ate his pie, and then could not progress the quest. That was on top of the announcement about the failed strength contest bugging out. Had to take turns logging in and out of the game to get that to shut up. Fun fact, for me the announcement kept...

    Can we please stop putting Keen on end game weapons? Please?

    Keen is very nice in low heroics. Many classes don't get improved crit until 12, and I am not sure anyone gets it before 9. I would be fine with that change as long as they call it some different buff that doesn't prevent low level characters from having access to expanded crit range weapons.

    Stupidly long CDs on melee attacks

    Completely agree with this, but I would put the floor at around 6 seconds, 12 for something that is noticeably more powerful than a cleave. If it's not any more powerful than a Cleave, it should have a cooldown of 6 seconds tops. 15-30 seconds is this awkward no-mans land where you either only...

    Artificer Issues

    This so much. Three classes and a subclass are all being affected by this now. For the love of all that is holy make that a priority. A serious issue with pets is that they do way too little damage for their damage output to be a build consideration past around level 6. Just the fact that...

    Crafter character never leaves the Crafting Hall

    My guy has been in there alone for going on six years now. Fortunately, he is a waforged so he never has to leave for food or water :-)

    Will DDO increase overall difficulty?

    I think you misunderstood my post, or at least what I was attempting to convey. Whether a non-tank build get one shotted in R10 isn't really the main point. Elminster seems to think they generally do, and you are saying the don't, but also imply that a squishy class like a sorcerer is...

    Will DDO increase overall difficulty?

    This is a Quest Developer issue: Completely agree. Once the majority of builds get insta-gibbed if any mob connects, how much harder does it really need to be? One also presumes that the new higher level legendary quests that would come in with any boost to the level cap would be harder than...

    That was a rippoff

    Umm, how many players know exactly how much XP it takes to get from 1 to 20 on life one, from 1 to 20 on life two, and from 1 to 20 on life 3+ , and from 20 to 30 off the top of their heads? I've been playing for 13+ years and I don't happen to know. No-one cares about the XP they grant per...

    That was a rippoff

    An item that expensive needs to get you pretty much an entire epic life, 20 to 30. Four levels for $40-$50 is insane whether the OP bothered to read the fine print and do the math or not.

    Today I played Necro 2 for the first time

    Pretty much the only time I do these is if I'm on a rep run. I'll also sometimes do them on the hardcore server because Nec 1 is slow but extremely safe XP. I like that they have a very distinct flavor and feel. It's neat little area. However, a lot of them have mechanics that are a little...

    That is a great idea.
