The good news for 2025

[CherryBomb]

The good news is that with the proposed 2025 plan we will get 6 more lives to grind, 3 for the archetype and 3 for the racial. The even better news is that the racial completion will be broken until all 3 of the new racial lives are completed. Hurrah???? I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah grinding is optional and a personal goal. Understood.

Given the number of races keeps on growing, and will probably not stop like classes likely have, it would be nice if Racial Completionist had a cap on the number of races required.

I know that goes against the grain, but its already much more burdensome than the other completionists, and just getting worse.

So maybe its time?

Good news?
So the Producer's letter was an early 'April's Fool' joke ?

 

[DBZ]

A real pack setting with real gear and might actually really drop have to wait and see

Gave up on racials saving up till 40 more efficient that way arch type 5050 skipping it

 

[Christhemiss]

I think they need a new producer.

Either that or we the players need a new producer for ddo.

Honestly yeah, Racial Completionist should get a cap cuz at this point it's sort of impossible to catch-up, especially for aspiring players.

New races are always available the instant the expansion goes on preorder, but racial completionist stays valid until the full release of the expansion, so you'll have several months to grind the racial lives before you lose the completionist.

Wish you could just pick which of the benefits you want when you a do racial past life, so you could +1 AP front if you want. Would be fine if they changed racial completionist to require only 1x of each.

 

[DBZ]

If they'd front load more people would do them on alts and make a lot less tp from them

but there hyper focused on ottos

yes, please. It's 45 PL currently for a completionist racial. With the new race, it will be 48. I don't know how anyone can't consider this crazy.

 

[Spook]

Just move racial completionist to one of each race like heroic past lives.

Let you pick the bonus each life (1 of each) but still require 3 for completionist.

It took me two years to grind racial completionist. It isn’t easy but it is not as impossible as it seems. If you have a strong build and appropriate gear 1-20 goes fast. Saved up daily dice exp gets you to lvl 3. Get 10 or 20% exp pots for Eberron dragon shards that you can get on AH or SE. Bonus for guild and Voice. Bonus for vip. Save up Ddo points for heroic exp tome. Do quests on R1.

Going to legendary for additional epic life felt really long but I did it once every three lives for variety.

"Good news" ?
Nothing good there.
Instead of Q1 - new Adventure pack, Q2 - new Adventure pack, Q3 - new Adventure pack, Q4 - new Adventure pack we are going to get :
Q3 - overpriced (as usual) expansion, Q1/Q2/Q3 - random stuff nobody cares about that won't change the game a little bit.

They could have avoided much of the player frustration and powercreep by making Archetypes and Iconics part of the base class. Meaning you
can do 3X of the Base, Arch, or Iconic, and it would have been done... with 1/3rd of the powercreep, meaning less game balance tweaks needed.

Instead we're stuck with a system that won't stop, throws new players in a pit, and invalidates (30+) content with a hamster-wheel that won't die.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I couldn’t disagree more. I am very excited and feel like the game is poised for new growth. I am looking forward to more players on my server and better performance like I experienced on Cormyr. The new raids are also great and a Ravenloft related expansion is exciting.

I'm honestly not too sure what I'll spend yet another racial point on. Will probably grind out the lives more to get back Completionist than progressing the points. I doubt I'd bother otherwise.

But surely Devs, you need to stop with all the continuing new races at some point?

Or let us spend points in other trees to at least give back some utility from all the grind. It's beginning to feel more like grinding to stand still, not progress.

Archetypes at least count the same as base class towards heroic completionist; so while there's the 3x per archetype past lives possible, it didn't bloat up the requirements for completionist.

The 64 bit server moves are enticing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Lamordia. Ravenloft was a masterpiece so there is a lot to live up to there.

No pressure!
