The good news for 2025

[Solarpower]

The new raids are also great and a Ravenloft related expansion is exciting.

Good for you.
Well, new quests are always good but the most important question, the levels range for Lamordia, wasn't answered.
If it's another 30+, I won't need it. Would be an empty wasted year in DDO for me, sorry for not being hyped.

Ravenloft was a masterpiece

Yeah. It was. Because it was created by people who know their job and created that module for PnP.
Lamordia doesn't have it's PnP module so it would be created solely by SSG's suff. And for years they only produce some boring kill-hordes-of-HP-bags quests.

Yep. I have very low expectations. I suspect they will still be too high.

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

Racial completionist isn't even that good nor is it particularly necessary. Epic past lives are way better to get for a power level. Racial completionist is for people who never want to leave heroics and give them something to do. I have 2 racial completionists by the way, and I'm slowly working on my 3rd 'etionist toon. I spend a lot of time at cap now with my toons but overall, I still enjoy leveling.

Wow, saying that a completionist racial isn't powerful is pretty bold. The completionist is exactly as powerful as the heroic, but getting it takes three times as much work.

On the other hand, racial PLs themselves are more beneficial than heroic ones. Action points are the most op-thing that PLs offer, allowing you to acquire racial buffs without deviating from class trees (and that's big!) and builds that aren't possible without racial points. Only a few racial stats matter (the ones that affect your build), but the ones that matter, have a lot of impact too.

But the point is that we have 45 racial PLs, and three more on the way. It's crazy to expect all of them to count towards completionist.

1 dc and 20 hp and a couple more build points u don't really need

1 DC matters, especially for spellcasters who don't have the luxury to have their CC based on a skill like intimidate. It's also +3 to all skills and a little over 20 hp, we're level 34, you know. Sorry, but "a couple more build points" is always helpful.

It's time to review the racial system, expecting 48 PLs to get the complecionist is crazy. After all, if you don't think completionist is useful, why resist acquiring it with less grind?

I have 2 dex races to do i wait till 40 then start legendary pls then do racials for xp resets then finish both grinds and done

You don't even know if you will be able to grind both at the same time. Currently you can't do racial and heroic PLs at the same time, for example.

Not everyone wants to play just one character, either. Having alts multiplies the grind insanely. They should at least review the grind for alts.

Yes but only way to get resets for epic legenary is to tr so can split them up that way

Level 40 is 6 years away. This game is not kind to people who fall behind in the grind and then want to catch-up.

And I also don't see the connection between waiting to make a legendary system that we know nothing about and won't know anything about for years, and very possibly won't be compatible with old grinds.

Saying you don't feel like or want to grind, fine. Personal decision. But waiting to have a reduced grind for a new system... that will never happen if we don't push them to stop increasing the grind exponentially. SSG's tendency is always to increase the grind without catch-ups.

 

[DBZ]

They could give us an option to reset xp with etrs but won't

 

[Tossed Slaad]

Are the chances of rare drops in MD and the chances of an Xpac being good the same number?

I wonder this.

Yes the catch-up thing is the biggest part to me. If I was an Uber-completionist I’d think, woohoo, 3 new lives to break things up. I am not an Uber-completionist and likely never will be… the three racial lives will also have value, I hope they can cap the completionist part at the least.
