    Sales: July 2nd - 9th

    Seriously. This sale felt like a huge scam. Sell double points in the beginning, then put nothing great on sale. No XP potions the entire sale, or other stuff I might have bought that used to be on summer/winter sales. And most of the stuff that was on sale, is nickel and dimed as regular...

    U81 Preview 2 - Feat Recategorization

    Is there an option to hide the level? Because honestly that looks like a mess. At no point would I even care about seeing the level it was taken, other than in fred's respec window. I just don't get why someone would want that in day-to-day display.

    U81 Preview 2 - New Feature - Landscape Supports All Quest Difficulties

    This is one of the few changes lately that I support. I've been saying for years, that explorer areas are a total waste of time, aside from a few epic slayers (which have flaws as well.) All they currently do is just drain your XP pots as you're trying to get to dungeons (especially heroic and...

    U81 Preview 2 - Feat Recategorization

    ^ this. I know you just said you are leaning towards keeping the old list (thankfully), but even with a few new epic feats, I don't see this ever being a huge concern, and I've never heard of anyone caring about the current list. I don't want to dig through separate categories just to figure...

    Sales: July 2nd - 9th

    Same. https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/sales-december-4th-11th.24572/#post-343078 ^ This needs to happen again (from December.) -50% off xp pots.

    Trick shot

    A tumble buff on melee would be more clumsy. For dungeon trash, it might be fine. Tumble towards a mob and then strike. For raids, it would be terrible. Tumbling left or right, or out of striking distance just to update the buff, and then have to walk back in. It would look like a circus...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    This is one of those things where I would say "sounds reasonable", but only in theory. In practice, I don't see that working at all. It would still ruin the concept of hardcore/survival, or make normal characters feel miserable for no reason. Any type of cross-grouping together means the HC...

    Teleport changes suck

    The changes to the teleport system would only be acceptable if: 1> A real 2.5s cast, where it actually teleports when the bar finishes (not another 3 seconds later) 2> UMD check before the cast (i.e. a 0.2s "fail" animation just like the old one) Otherwise, this is terrible for something that...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    A separate AH would be fine, but I personally think it would be more challenging and fair as an iron man system (also easier for them to implement.) Either way is fine, as long as HC can't access the regular AHs or shared banks or trading from normal chars. I might even go as far as saying...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    Hah, I just read this. You beat me to some of those problems by a few mins! Another question is, what about auction houses? As much as people might not like this, I personally think they should be blocked by HC-flagged chars. Survival. Iron man. You only get items yourself, or directly...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    Like I said, there was some obvious flaws in the first live event. It was by far not perfect by any means. But it could be much cleaner with some changes. re: Leaderboards - My personal opinion is I don't care about them. However, I'm not selfish, and I would never want to take this away...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    This is another reason why the HC event on live server is waaaaaay better. If you "die" it just becomes a regular character, and you can keep playing immediately if they "give up", and not need to wait for transfers. Especially newer players. Having a HC event on the live servers is the...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    It's not incorrect then. You just contradicted yourself. Why would you need another server for players who are fine with doing what you're describing already? You wouldn't. They could literally do that on the live servers, and still be in their guild chatting or checking the LFMs, etc...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    To add to this: No, none of the HC players would be happy at all. No one wants a pointless HC server with no rewards. This isn't "pretend" or "playing with your invisible friend." It's a persistent MMO video game. Most gamers want real achievements and tangible rewards for a challenge they...

    Are you kidding? Were you around for the original HC servers?

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    All of you guys who keep saying "I don't like HC, just make a separate HC server" are completely missing the entire point of moving the HC events to the live servers. What difference does it make if there's HC characters on your server? The benefit for you is that those players can easily see...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    You're entitled to do what is fun for you, but saying "dont spend dev time on this" is only looking out for yourself. Especially since we know how popular the HC servers were. If only 2% of the population played on HC, I would agree with you. But those servers were packed some seasons. If...

    Am curious about something concerning the game engine

    My educated guess is: its likely possible without that much new coding. The game can handle it with buffs (whether its character buffs or public zones.) These buffs could be checked to render/hide any other entities that don't have that buff. The engine is old, but that doesn't seem like...

    THe snitch: most unnecessary gather mechanic ever

    - All gather steps need to be removed. From every quest. - All unskippable RP needs to be skippable. From every quest. The worst part is they keep adding MORE, even after players have told them how much they hate it. Literally 1 line of text every 20 seconds, with unnecessarily long pauses...

    Teleport changes suck

    Says who? For me, the times when the server lag was at it's worse (like right after the mergers) I stopped playing completely for quite awhile. It's also highly likely that part of their lag got better because the population dropped! Why would a studio that depends on constant income want...
