Are we stuck with the silly green borders on raid gear forever?

[torkz]

I assumed that the event borders on items would go away after the event...or that we would at least have an option to remove it somehow.

Have we heard anything on this? Maybe I missed it...

God I hope we can get rid of the Border.

They are uglier than macrotechnic runearm drives and that's saying something

Yes. We heard Cordovan during his stream saying the border will stay forever.
Though is was several weeks ago but... it seems they didn't change this.

 

[Underflow]

Well, that's greatly unpleasant.

The border is a significant readability issue, especially regarding determining whether an item is Epic or not on a mule.

I think it's only the case for loot that drops after the event has ended and not loot that already dropped during the event.
And this is exactly why I took a break from playing DDO. I didn't want any items with that border.

 

[Dandonk]

The border is really, really annoying... please please make it go away. Please?

 

[Merciless]

Loathe it.
I junked a legendary IOD helm because it had a green border and I thought it was loot gen.
thanks Cordo.

 

[kmoustakas]

Items still have this issue today :(

 

[TrappedSoulstone]

With all fairness they could remove border and leave internal event tag. I bet very few people will keep playing their hardcore characters even less will keep them alive. Having fey description just as good as visual border, but without disruption to regular visual patterns. SSG can, by why would they?

The borders were a terrible implementation from the start. I recall that there was a bunch of work put in by Tonquin around U50 to standardize borders and allow people to distinguish between items. With the amount of inventory management time that DDO already requires from players, anything that makes me take longer at chests, vendors, shared bank, and on storage alts is like a slap in the face.

I bought a 3 month sub just to get winter wings from this event, but as soon as I was finished with my winter characters, all of the named items that dropped are likely going to end up as sentient food because of the borders. If SSG doesn't give us a way to remove / turn off borders, I'll be more likely to just take a break from DDO during the next event rather than opening my wallet again.

As stated by Tolero on the most recent Fridays at Four, SSG can remove the borders and Symphony of the Fey description on the items. She asked for community feedback on if they should do that or not. There are other threads here on the forums where people are expressing their opinions on the subject.

Gee... wouldn't it be great if SSG had a place where they could post a poll letting players vote and provide feedback on that so people who work or sleep (Euros) during the Fridays at 4 streams would actually know SSG wants said feedback?

Oh wait...

i'll be happy if new loot drop without the border, i wouldn't even mind having all the thing i picked up the last 2 months with that ugly border. Seems we have to wait until the disable the event again,

What a ridiculous request for feedback. Surely even the most devoted of players would be wanting the border gone.

I guess its too hard for them to pose such a question on the forum...

 

[featherfall]

The borders look really bad, and the text used in the options is distracting,
I honestly hope this gets removed.

 

[Underflow]

The Altar of Legacy Epic Rituals should be able to remove borders once the event ends again, but only from upgradeable epic items. It was able to delete an augment I slotted into an epic item, so it's just regenerating them from scratch.

This will destroy augments, mythic bonuses (but as an upgradeable I don't think they even have mythic bonuses) and reaper bonuses, but it should work fine.

 

[mbartol]

I understand that some players want to keep the unique event items, so there is a compromise: remove the green border, but keep the music note in the corner (which is what it should have been at the start).
