Ransack is fine. Rerolls are less fine, and rare loot feels like it was designed around rerolls and not ransack which is why I think people hate it. I mean, mathematically you would need to optimally farm for months or even years to get BiS rolls on rare loot, and even with rerolls you might...

Yeah, even if the prices were significantly inflated compared to rerolls or specific items were excluded, I would much rather have that then gambling the way we do now. Yeah, it's pay not to play which doesn't feel great but at least you know the cost/value relationship of your transaction...

DDO's monetization is complicated because there are basically five different scenarios. 1. Content: Miserable if you're not VIP. Huge investment ask for a new player. If you go VIP it's fine but if your sub lapses you can't play most of the game anymore. Between the vast array of adventure...

Accidentally spent it all on gacha games, send another $3.5 trillion please

I think the problem I have with trances is that they have such a high uptime (for the ones that don't have the resource management issue other posters have mentioned) that it's basically always on. Every minute or two hit a button and it's up. I'm not saying that it's bad that martials have a...

There are a bunch of novels and sourcebooks of varying levels of official-ness that flesh out Eberron a lot. Keith Baker, one of the co-creators of Eberron, has a Patreon where he discusses lore of the world, the creative process, etc. as well. I've never found DDO's Eberron to be particularly...

To be honest DDO doesn't even need to be your main game compared to how much most hobbies, even other games, can cost these days. Pour one out for the gacha addicts. (Ignore the chest rerolls hiding behind the curtain)

I think it's worth it, for the most part. I mean, sure, the benefits aren't breathtaking when you look at them each in isolation, but when you subscribe to the yearly plan it breaks down to $8.33 per month, and that's not crazy expensive compared to *gestures broadly at everything these days*...

I don't think the content sales would really be satisfying to long term players given all the giveaways recently. Expansions are going to be a thing where it's complicated. But, on the flip side, 40% off Myth Drannor Ultimate, despite rare loot being a pain, isn't terrible, 85% off the trove is...

Ranged DPS has always had the advantage of being somewhat easier to play without needing you to be right next to the source of hurt. I don't think inquisitive is particularly overpowered anymore, it's still fine to play and can be fun, but it's not exactly broken, and it's definitely been...

I mean, if you're so desperate to speedrun quests you can't give your party members 30 seconds to a minute for a mote, but you can't keep clearing on your own, you're probably relying on those strangers, who have their own priorities, to clear the quest quickly in the first place. If you don't...

I've noticed that when they're near walls or doors is when they fail to spawn the most for me too. Wonder if they're failing to find the nearest safe point and if the spawns would intersect an object they just don't spawn.

Out of curiosity, did the amulet actually punish you for it? I think there may be a few items that aren't flagged for one reason or another, felt like I had some Korthos stuff that didn't have the tag but didn't apply the penalty. I junked it already so I can't double check, but I remember that...

This one feels pretty easy to ignore, though, if you want to. I mean, I'm trying to do it and I miss the motes half the time. Sure, other people you're grouping with might want to stop for motes but it's basically one or two waves, and unless you get a purple or gold mote since those can be a...

They feel a little stronger than average in low heroics (as far as my winter character has gotten), but I think there's some bump in difficulty compared to average mobs, though some of that could be their ward effect when they first spawn in. That said heroics are pretty janky to evaluate on...

This is not how AI detectors work. A screenshot of an asset from a game is not going to accurately represent the provenance of the asset. It just isn't possible to detect the things that these detection algorithms use to recognize AI in a screenshot, since it involves things like noise...

The hirelings only attack if you have them set up to aggressive. I've seen my feywild muse (heroic) attack motes.

Yeah, I had one bug out earlier too. At least mine happened before the fight.

I've managed to miss one mote (that I know of) so far. A notification when they appear (either text like the one when they're about to vanish or audio based) would be handy.

I like the concept, and I also like that it will exist on the same servers as I'm already on, but I do wonder if there might be a problem with carrying if winter lute characters can group with other characters. If you can just hide at the quest entrance until you pull a mote and then have your...
