Why is there no unique 18th-anniversary reward?

We appreciate the monthly D&D 50th rewards - they are awesome -
but that is a separate anniversary celebrating the pen and paper og creation.
DDO should have a unique 18th

I actually did that and was a bit disappointed. I'm guessing that's the 'dragon raider reward box' coming down the pipeline?

Generally speaking, what I'm seeing is a total lack of effort for any of the seasonal events. Maybe except mabar. Although mabar has the huge benefit of being an xp farm event of all things lol

The year of the dragon rewards are definitely better than the average anniversary event reward.

I think a better result would've been reached by putting one of the year of the dragon rewards as the anniversary reward, just dragon themed to celebrate both anniversary and the year of the dragon. The year of the dragon kinda ate everything else this year. Seems kinda fitting for draconic behaviour tbh, if somewhat disappointing to some players.

Personally though, for me? I'm just happy I don't need to care about running the anniversary quest over and over and over again - that's a win for me. I'm glad the dragon ate the anniversary.

Honestly, I didn't even think to look. I don't give much thought about it and havn't been that excited about an anniversary gift since the 10th when they gave each character the choice of one raid item from some of the older raids.

The 12th year Robe of Celebration is one of my favorite armor cosmetics though.

Other than that, the 8th Anniversary was cool in concept and had some nice rewards but the duping and subsequent nerfing of the rewards because of duping killed it.

Maybe they are considering something cooler for the 20th and this year is a wash?

I would love to see a loot list with stuff from Killing Time, RtSO, Fall of Truth, MA, LoB but that wouldn't offer much for use in heroics. Not like a Quiver of Alacrity or SoS does.

Haha! 18 is still an important age IMO and should have something unique to mark the occasion.
Seems they phoned this one in. :confused:

When Year of the Dragon was announced with the 13 gifts, I assumed the Anniversary Party would not get an update. Even so, I did check the Anniversary Party on day one, hour one, and did feel disappointed. Thirteen gifts spread over the year is a lot and some of those items must have required a significant amount of time to produce. However, I would have enjoyed a new reason to run the Anniversary Party.

For what it is worth, some of my characters needed a d12 so I ran the Anniversary Party solo for one hour for 295 Party Favors. (The room with Mister Cordovan is brutal this year. Good grief.) By run 6, the frame rate bug was getting really bad so I stopped. I will probably run one more hour for three more d12s then call it done.

D12 is BTA, so I guess you switch between alts often?
When fighting Cordovan on solo higher levels for extra tokens, you can just step inside to turn him hostile, then move back to corner and fight there, so you will not be touched by moving ball and multiple projectiles/enemies at once if you find it too difficult.

I definitely need to pick up more D12's. They are BTA, but I've found that it's a bit tedious swapping them on toons. Better to have a few of them if you can.

Yeah, I'l admit that I went through the list a few times checking for new items in case I missed them.

Upon reaching level 20, all of my characters become completely self sufficient and receive a standard equipment set (TM) including a d12. That way, I can sign in and go with any character. (y)

After two fights with Mister Cordovan, both resulting in near death experiences, I decided to skip him on all further runs. :oops: The ball plus three spell casters plus two mind flayers against a weak melee is just too dangerous. :unsure: It's fine. Sometimes adapting means hitting the skip button. ?

The traditional gift for the 18th anniversary is porcelain. You want them to give you a toilet?

It's just as bad (read: worse) playing at CR7! :cry:

idk, does it leak, have terrible flush power, or a seat that can't be tightened? Any toilet without those issues would be an improvement of the one in my rental who's maintenance requests have been ignored for going on 3 years -_-;

There was an effort made for Mabar? Only thing I saw was that they made the candies worthless.
