Hardcore Season 10 Suggestion

I remember watching the video with my boyfriend of the duo, my boyfriend was saying the guy that was doing the actual fighting against the abbot was the really talented one and the other guy doing the healing was just a tagalong, i think the tagalong had to also share his screen with the good guy during the goggles phase because he wasnt good enough to explain it. But the fact they did it was an accomplishment, my boyfriend runs quite a few raids in hardcore but not that one for sure.
I think your boyfriend might love Dom.

Wrong word, but he definitely respects his talent and skills, I believe he also respects the lava divers crew as well, but again wont run with them in hardcore because he doesnt run with “Guy Smilies” as he puts it.

I know he thinks there are other good players and guilds out there but there are some he has no respect for due to their censorship and attempts to try and control narrative.

Either way when it comes to what the OP is looking for, he and I both believe their could be a more functioning way to have heroic groups, a permanent one life to live server.
 
I would like to see the leaderboard not reward repetitive grinding. Instead maybe if we had something like reaper renown where you get one renown per skull in a quest it would keep the challenge alive for the capped players too. Just like favor though it doesn't accumulate by doing the quest again but does increase to the higher value if you do the quest at higher reaper. Another option is to add to this renown by giving an additional point for every additional player in the quest. Renown could possibly be awarded for elite and lower difficulties because of additional players. This would also make it more likely that people would try reaper with the low level heroic quests. Also would mean that there would only need to be a single leaderboard.

TBH from what I got from the Sev interview I'll be happy if we have another HC season. It looks like this mist event will be a grind reward only and not an HC season... I hope they rethink that.
I hope that I'm wrong and this mist event can accommodate Favor, reaper, and/or something like Mysty Walker Kill Ladders..

What details do we know for sure on the mist event? Or at the very least what are the speculations?

I really (!) hope we get at least a number „X“…🤞🏼
(No one can say that they not put it in the basements darkest corner…)

I too hope this Lantern Mists is our substitute 'hardcore' for this year since they originally said there would not be one. I also hope that they bring back next year a tough version of the Hardcore (Lanterns seems a bit softcore and optional -- and missing the potential fear and challenge of everyone on an equal footing for death).

I would be pleased, perhaps if it is successful, that each year they have one Lantern season and one Hardcore season.

Finally I agree with Milburnion that a new way to rate challenge on hardcore reaper would be that each skull level gives you a reaper point -- so to be high on the leaderboard you would need to complete reaper on r3, r6 or even some r10s to get ahead. This would challenge the super skilled at ddo to risk their lives at higher reaper level to get more skull points but also more often wipe out leaders who reached too high on a quest or just the bad luck of spawning too many dooms and vengeances, etc.

Maybe this is blasphemy but I'd like a season with extra challenges that we can use a copy of our main toon on.

The Lanterns in the Mist allows players to play by opting in. So if your character dies while questing with your friends you can keep playing the character normally but who would keep playing the character. Most would start over on a new character to try again. Friends that are playing on the server but dont want to play Lanterns will be separated when this happens.

I think most players will play Lanterns unless they want to make a new home of Cormyr. I think Lanterns would work better on an established server where players can opt in while they are running PLs with friends. If they fail they can carry on with their group and try again next life.

The prize could be an extra PL on top of other prizes to make it worth while.

My only wish for HC10 is that they actually make it.
The lanterns thing is just "meh" compared to the real thing.

1- Raise the level for 2nd favor prize to 6.000 ( 5.000 is not a challenge)
2- Keep the 2 levels above limit
3- Create a challenge champion or extra mob like the hound in HC6. Last season made all the champs easier than live servers.
4 - Put extra prizes like the dragon hoard hunt, with parts only on Reaper or at least elite for regular quests, and put it on the raids to get the 2nd tier prize.
5- Give top-level prizes like weapons, augments, or tomes that can be brought to live servers.
6- Give extra favor for doing all options of the quests
7- 1 extra life token to be used only inside the shroud
8- Create extra traps that appear randomly on HC.
