I know that the devs have said that they (and I, frankly) don't want the ATD to be a monthly status update on half-orcs, half-elves, guild housing, druids, etc, so these questions often get put towards the back of their "answer" list. Basically, the answer is nothing until they are ready to announce it. I don't want ATD to be a series of "Q: what's the status of ____? A: We're thinking about it, nothing new to report." They've been bitten so many times in the past with trying to provide a rough timeline for release on these things (say it'll be next year and if it isn't....) that they kind of dislike these questions. Still, I bring them up when I can!

Sorrowbladen, I've love to have a segment on barbarians on the show! If you have a decent head set mic (or regular mic) for voice chat, you can probably record the segment fine! Look up Audacity as a free audio recorder-editor, or use something else if you have it already. Send me an email (ddocast@gmail.com) and we'll talk about it.

The devs have surely noticed Grenfell's huge respec thread in the forums. I want to know what the devs think of the idea of a full respec (with a time, item, or other limitation) and if it's likely that we would ever see it.

-Seneca
Listen this weekend! Yup, it took a bit of time, but they've discussed respeccing on Ask the Devs! I won't quote them here out of fears of getting it wrong, but basically they've said it's something they are considering.
Heh, it figures. I'm like 4 for 4 with people beating me to the punch on questions. :)

I would say my only question to the Dev's is this, what influence does 4th edition D&D have on DDO now and is it possible that 4th edition may cause a change in DDO in the future?

I know it's been discussed in the past, but I'll add the 4th edition question to the list and discuss it when there's time.

why does the spell False Life have a generic duration of 10 minutes, it seemed weird that it wasn't 1 minute/level...?

I spoke to (I want to say Kate at GenCon {really bad with names}) a little but she really didn't have an answer maybe now after some time they might have thought about it or forgotten totally and could use the reminder.

All the summon monster spells have a much wider range of options than one guy when cast. And at each level there is a range of different monsters with different alignments, I find it very said that my law good cleric summons a hell hound from a moral stand point. And that my wizard soloing in the Aussircaex's Valley can't use summon monster 8 to summon 1d3 efreet (efreeti, what is the plural of efreet any way?)

Can we get some options at each level, maybe a good, neutral, evil alignment at each level? Or let us summon d3 of the level below?

Just some options for one of the best schools in the pnp game, that didn't port as strong.

Why is it so difficult to pull a bloodstone? If Xilo pulls a muckdoom and no one sees it, does it really exist?

Could you please ask the devs if there are any plans for guild houses in the NEAR future or if we should just give up on the idea?

hey all

firstly

hearing stuff about in game economy

you guys talked a lot about what you may be able to buy in cash and with turbine points

what i would like to hear a reply about is will you be able to buy tubine points with in game plat?

will you be able to grind turbine points?

they mentioned that you would be able to earn them in game through favor earning and other mission achivements ... but they never mentioned if plat numbers are gonna be equated or tradable for turbine points or are they gonna be in chests or as end rewards.

secondly

Atari bought Cryptic studios and there is talk about another dnd mmo ... has atari given up on turbine to cause this free to play mmo model to come out ?

will there be a second mmo or will cryptic studios be working with turbine to launch more content faster for atari products like ddo and lotro?

I played COH and cryptic studios is a good company for putting out content fast.

I think a second mmo would be pointless for a couple reasons. first being we already have one that is about to go through desperate changes cause of lack of interest by the general mmo community. Secondly Cryptic studios has an mmo that hasnt gone live yet called Champions (sort of like coh 2) ... thought with the launch of DC universe i dont think it will do all that well especially since they excluded the ps3 owners by making there game for xbox and pc only and while having no marvel attention like was previously promised be it that marvel didnt like the graphics and gameplay (at least that is what it seemed like where the complaints that i read on the forums).

I wouldnt hate it if atari put more into ddo even if it means co-opperation between cryptic and turbine .. maybe the two teams together could put out content more frequently ... or they could beta test each others work to take some of the time and pressure off the player base.

lastly

how much more testing can they possibly do?

how do you beta a store with fake money?

this beta is silly cause it doesnt do anything, I dont see how you can beta a store without making it live.

if you give me points i will spend them but ask me to spend my hard earned money and its another story.

heres my favorite analogy for this process ... Texas hold'em ... when you play for free money like on a poker site ... you always see first round people go all in ... there is nothing you can have pre-draw that is worth a 1500 dollar all in first round in a texas hold'em game short of pocket aces and that doesnt always win either.

if you had to pay for the game dollars like in the tourneys you dont see as much of the all in mentality cause you had to pay with real money to get in and losing it means you have to pay again.

same deal with online stores in DDO ... if its not real money people will spend like crazy ... when they get into the game they wont spend half as much. So if you want to beta prices doesnt it make more sence to start high and lower prices over the first 12 months till you hit the sweet spot .. where the most people want to buy that sertian item for the price you have it at on a regular basis.

I dont know about anyone else but i expect prices to flux over the first year anyway. Might as well launch it and if prices change i am sure people wont really care .. this way we can work faster to get our new players in faster and start working on what really matters to DDO'ers ... new content at a reasonable interval.

oh one more thing

I was wondering if we will ever see a wilderness area with rare monsters and uber rare monsters (aka purple names)

I think walking in subT and seeing a purple named lurking would be killer ..

it would only work in raid wilderness areas but with the popularity of SubT i would hope more gets done like that ... and again a rare purple with raid loot chest (could make it a standard raid chest with named loot from all raids found in it but with similar drop rates so to not over flood the raid loot , not that it isnt already anyway)

The ideas are endless

maybe we could have a write a story line contest with the top 3 being implamented in up comming mods.

rules and layout can be up to you guys but what is the chance of us seeing something like that?

Maybe this was answered not sure, Why do the mobs in the Vale of the Twilight NOT "rubber band"? Was this a conscious choice? I can not think of any wilderness/explorer areas where the mobs do NOt "rubber band".

1) what are the chances of seeing other worlds make it into DDO .... for instance ravenloft which as a plane that pops up in other planes makes total sense even with this being eberron based.

2) Why have we had no evil alignment yet in DDO? In pen and paper alot of people choose evil alignment ... is this because you plan to do a seperate yet connected evil relm alla City of Heros/Villians?

3) While we all know Druid is held back .. are there any other non core (Favored Souls being the first) easier to implement classes that you are looking into ... perhaps warmage (be it that most of the spells are already in the game and the remaining spells add to current casting classes spell lists making it win win).

4) Is there a chance that DDO will be making an appearance on Consoles ? The new business model seems perfectly geared toward a console mmo ... (could give base game space on PSN [for example] for free download and have game disk for 40-70$ with mods 1-9 included and adventure packs or vip access paid through PSN [for example].

5) With the advent of shared bank slots do you think that the runes from Reavers Refuge missions should be changed to bound to account .. be it that you still wouldnt be able to trade or sell them and they are not even usable unless you have completed SOS on that character?

5)

Added to the list! Have to say though, I doubt we'll get an answer to #1 or #4 (at least until they would be ready to announce it).

#1 is a definite no. Cross-polluting Eberron with Ravenloft or another game world would be a terrible idea, IMO, and not likely to happen because of contract issues. And Wotc would likely not be keen on having multiple settings put together.
