DDO Bonus Days!

[Dom]

This bonus weekend is probably aimed at the people playing on Cormyr. If you are the kind of person who plays without farming gear in groups, rerolling chests, and stuff like that, a decent random loot item can really help. My level 12 Mechanic is still rockin a Troubleshooter set. Oh yeah. Love bein too poor to afford resist potions.

Regardless of whether its aimed at people playing on Cormyr, that doesn't explain why they would suddenly drop the bonus from +10 to +5. It has always been +10 except for the one weekend before the level cap increase to 34 when they did a bonus weekend that had a reduced version of all of the bonuses at once.

It's a loot bonus for better RNG gear at the same time that RNG weapons are bugged with not getting +W on them.

Whats the new bug with weapons? Are you saying new RNG weapons only have the base damage on them?

 

[Cildar]

**** type bonus doesn't get better when you multiply the **** by a bigger number

edit: it's not just new drops, all old RNG weapons and crafted weapons lost their W too as far people have been saying on various posts.

We've hit peak SSG!

I honestly don’t know what people are complaining about…no sarcasm this is literally the best bonus except maybe buddy bonus and I wish it happened more often.

Did you bother to read? I'd suggest that as a starting point before you continue to post here or in other threads.

Do you realize what the bonus actually does?

Depends on who you believe. Devs have said it effects RNG gear but not named items. Some folks claim it boosts odds for mythic/reaper bonuses; other says it doesn't. It's about as clear as mud.

Yeah I do, no one is complaining that the bonus is bad, people are complaining that it went from the normal +10 to +5 for no reason. Read the thread and try again.

 

[Chab]

Why is it +5 compared to the normal +10?

its punishment for mentioning all the bugs they arent gonna fix

No one is complaining that the bonus is a penalty. But it's only not bad in the sense that it's meaningless.

But what we do know is that a Treasure Hunter bonus is not a discovery bonus, which is what many people (not you) seem to assume this is

I don't care what it is; So long as it could impact loot drops in any way, it means I can't gather data during such times, just in case it impacts on something unexpected regarding loot that causes results to look off.

Guess I'm returning to normal play then for the next few days at least until this is over.

It is a placebo

+5 is not worth logging on and farming loot for, next time make it +10 and not an 18 months waiting period.

Yes, I use crafted weapons a lot (like metalline of aligned or blushine) and they are all 1w no matter the minimum level.

Isn't that the way all of us solo casuallers roll?

I think my Cormyerian was 15/16 before finally replacing that set. CC craft mats were slow hitting the right ones.
