Why is there no unique 18th-anniversary reward?
Because SSG is not keen on giveaways, occasionally they do give out good stuff, but more often they're adverse to giving stuff away, especially shown by that "fiscal irresponsibility" comment by certain person.

They can't comprehend that some of us are more keen at spending money on generous companies than on those who are adverse to generosity. (which is funny since DDO monetization is REALLY bad, and does not even get money for stuff people are begging to let them spend money on)

IIRC in his stream Cordovan said that the free fighter archetype is the gift this year?
*shrugs*
The problem with this is archetypes have been free anyway until now, and it won't be available for party favors in future years. That's not to say his point isn't correct. It's just that for several players it feels like getting a vacuum for their anniversary present.

They could have just done the free expansion pack for the Anniversary... And a nice DDO Market sale. Move the Dragon Lord to March or April.

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. ?

Fighting at entrance behind the wall in the corner makes big difference.
You only need to step inside big room to make him hostile and then move back to nearest corner.
Ball will not reach you, you will not be hit by initial projectiles from casters at once and enemies will come to you almost one by one.
I hope that helps enough.

Why didn't they cobble together a low effort cosmetic cloak with a Dragon on it?

Take one of the two existing anniversary cloak models, swap out a texture, done. Much less whining.

That said, I am sure the devs felt that the dozen or so rewards we already have qued up this year were sufficient.

Yeah the comedy of this is the last thing I need is another cosmetic since storage is such and issue. I suspect most of our eyes are bigger than our bellies. :p

Out of curiosity, what would you have wanted for the 18th anniversary gift???
Ideally ?
A lvl 5 shaman kobold hire that would *accidentely* throw lightning bolt at you because he still hates you.... AND he remenbers Waterwork!
Just for the fun of it

Or a cloak with a giant kobold head on it...

Something silly! but fun. Anniversary is not the time to get more powah

I got the kobold sentient jewel in previous year, its my favorite one (though i turn it off after a while...)

Would love a kolbold hireling!
If they need new items in the shop they can do great things with a hireling pack
IT won't threaten the game balance, can be cute, fun , silly, helpful or all of that together
They just need to avoid some previous mistake....
The owlbear that can't pass through doors...
Or a melee character that keep dying at melee range in quest its lvl...or lower lvl .... (*look at Squishy Darling...*)
