Reaper Point System

I have just return to DDO after 3 months off (to run my 3 DL lives on my main).

According to Cordo's stream- SSG said there will be no reaper update in 2024!

PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS!

Please add cosmetics for Reaper point 100, 125, 150, 175, 200.......up to say maybe 300 .....AND then actually put a cap on it!
SSG has said several times that "We need to do something because we did not put a XP cap on it"......and cosmetics would be a great idea because it adds no more power creep, BUT gives something!

Reaper has been out for 7 years now and have only been nerfed .....never added to.


3 DL lives will only take a few weeks to complete (especially since there is no reason to stay at cap and get 1st time reaper XP).


Thanks for reading!

Um.

I didn't see the stream, but been following along enough to know that The "Reaper Update" you're talking about has nothing to do with any of that. They are talking about completely revamping it for the most part and making it to where some of your reaper power also gets shared with your party members if you're high level. Along with some likely nerfing of the system as a whole. Additional "rewards" aren't really even in the works as far as we've seen. Or at least as far as I've seen.

^ pretty much this is what's been said. Sev has even mentioned they've got no issues with the way reapers points stop holding any value above a certain amount; they're okay with people being "done" on that character with that system.

I have heard a lot about reaper / reaper tree's since we noticed that "There is no RxP / Reaper Point Cap!:

1. We (DDO) need to do "Something" because we did not put a cap on it!
2. We (DDO/ Sev) are OK with people actually "finishing" the reaper Grind/ Filling up all the trees.
3. Reaper revamp - Turing the trees in a (No Choice where you spend your points because this needs to be a "each point mean same power") so we can "share" your reaper power with others in your group. (this option IMO would only anger people that only have 20-50 ish points because they are no longer able to put them into the tress that help their build out the most). DDO is all about "Options"
4. NOTHING


I, Personally would just like "cosmetics" added. The reaper wings at 75 is that last tier, so add more so that people will want to grind to the next tier for the cosmetic (assuming people like cosmetics........and we know lots of people will grind out cosmetics on HC......so maybe people will do the same on regular servers?)


I need a GRIND for my main toon!

Pretty sure this particular part was an idea somebody came up with on the forum rather than something SSG themselves suggested.

(The consensus opinion was that it would be a bad idea, for the record.)

Also, wow, some of the posts in this thread got confrontational pretty quickly.

No, this originated from Sev during one of Cordo's live streams where Sev popped on to answer questions. The conversation about it on the forums was someone else bringing it up as an idea they thought was good.

Ah, indeed? My mistake then.

(It's still probably not a great idea though, given how much lag the original system for applying Reaper buffs caused.)

Just as I predicted long ago, if SSG doesn't cap the Reaper APs/experience, players will expect there to be a use for the Reaper APs/exp past the soft cap of 156 APs. But of course, the developers decided not to listen.
Not to mention, the developers should have introduced such a cap themselves.

But maybe the developers will positively surprise me and introduce a Reaper enhancement revamp that blows me away.

The system very clearly shows rewards up to 156 points.

Expecting rewards beyond that is not reasonable so complaining about it is a bit silly. Suggesting to add more is fine though but pretending something is missing is not logical.

Personally, I dont thing more stuff should be added but I would not oppose a few minor cosmetics.
