    I like supporting the game

    But they do have contractual obligations to their publisher, Daybreak, and they sometimes have legal obligations to their customers. Take for example whatever update Myth Drannor ends up being (Update 69, maybe update 70.) It does not matter how nasty, buggy, laggy, or full of Red Wizards...

    I like supporting the game

    I'm not sure if this is what you're summarizing my response as, if this is what you're advocating my response should be, or if this is explicitly your response to me. I can not stress this enough- these people are whom THIS thread that you are physically in right now is about. If you don't want...

    I like supporting the game

    Ah! Thank you for clarifying. That is incorrect, and not supported by what I've been writing. But at least we can clear it up! So, this thread is about "What do people mean when they they say "I like to support the game"". This can be summed up with Titus' original post: I fully agree with...

    I like supporting the game

    Before I devote anymore time to this thread, can you in your own words tell me what it is you think my position is? Because "You may not personally appreciate the final product" deeply feels like you're off the mark of anything I've said or hold true. Despite my own personal hopes on the...

    Magic of Myth Drannor is now available to pre-purchase!

    Yes, https://www.ddo.com/myth-drannor?nav=true shows it as being available July 31, 2024, with some fine print showing that August 30, 2024 is the latest they can legally delay the non prerelease content (so the quests, wilderness area, public zones, ect...)

    I like supporting the game

    Correct. I'm glad you're finally on the same page as me. It was deeply silly for you to suggest that EG7's financials said or indicated anything about something as hyper specific as a singular twice removed subsidiary, let alone the suggestion that it would say anything about DDO specifically...

    I like supporting the game

    Do you have a source for this? Because reading through, looking at, and in general skimming the three most current investor relation reports on EG7's website doesn't seem to shake this out? There is, to my eye, no indication that EG7 has reinvested a proportionally higher amount into the wider...

    I like supporting the game

    Oh! Ya, of course. As per my last post, my point can be found here. But, taking you at face value and assuming you're asking in good faith, here you go. To start with, as quoted above, you said "What you describe has been true for several years now." So you're agreeing that money spent on DDO...

    I like supporting the game

    Something that's been weighing on me, personally, is that- people AREN'T supporting DDO or SSG to the extent that they think. The money that you spend on the Expansion isn't going to SSG or DDO. It's going first and foremost to Daybreak (and other investors, if there are any), to pay back the...

    returning player and first thoughts even before playing

    Hey! Full agree! DDO is one of the most unique and complex MMOs I've ever had the pleasure to play, and the complexity is used to purchase a depth of play that's unmatched by the other many other great MMOs. I've never been able to find something that scratches the same itch that DDO does...

    The New Player Experience

    I actually suggested something similar to this back on the old forum. Though I actually don't think they need to go as far as making a build/video for everything. The issue is new player expectation. All MMOs have to deal with potential players that have NEVER experienced an MMO before, but DDO...

    mmmm, bacon!

    Fun fact, if you use the Looking for Broccoli emote while under the effects of broccoli juice, there's a small chance that [redacted word] [redacted word] [redacted word] [redacted word], but the game only makes the check once every "day". (I'm pretty sure that it uses the same 18 hour day that...

    The New Player Experience

    Found the first stream, for those more inclined to YouTube's user interface. (Also haven't watched much of it) Something of obvious note regarding new player experience is his interactions with the Dragon Lord archetype during character creation. Perhaps when clicking on the GET NOW button...

    The New Player Experience

    Hey! That's awesome! I love seeing new folks in the DDO space (both new players and new streamers!) I'm going to go ahead and leave this clickable link to his currently oldest available DDo live stream, for any forumfolk that aren't as hip or hoppin with the Twitch™ (I haven't watched it myself...

    Please: Option to trade collectables

    Full support for the structure you're suggesting (Amounts and devaluation formulas would draw my debate, but those numbers can be adjusted and rebalanced after the fact/as the economy evolves.) I'd also want to see the current collectable sinks outside of Cannith Crafting refurbished to be more...

    Idea: Item icons should display their augment slots

    I've actually had this same thought, and and support it 100%. Maybe you should post this over in the Suggestions section so we can upvote it and such!

    Just noticed this today about the pet rock

    It's toad-ally rocking that vibe. I bet as soon as it hops into action, the enemies are ready to croak. Really makes this cosmetic pet un-frog-ettable.

    A picture of that would be absolutely ribbiting.

    About the tumble changes, here's my take on it :D

    Personally I'm really excited for the potential design space the tumble changes open up. I'm viewing patch 66 as them laying the infrastructure, and as long as they expand on it in a timely manor (or at least indicate that they're planning to do more with it) I'll be a happy lil kobold. I don't...

    Has play testing gone away?

    People really just don't understand cooperate structure in general, let alone within the games industry.
