lol that is cool cause 2 3 and 5 are big questions too .... i have seen alot of posts about account bound runes or suggested changes to the DT crafting system suggested in forums alot these days (mine apparently was not the first to suggest account only vs character only) and as far as classes go I cant think of to many that would be as easy to implement as Favored Soul with exception to Warmage cause it is to wizards what favored souls are to clerics (on warmages get some divine damge spells like blade barrier and flame strike and implosion :} ) ... something like 80% of there spell list is already in the game so really they would just have to code the basics of the class and add a couple spells which would also make current casters happy (cause it means having more damage spells in there lists as well)

As a ps3 user I wish every day for DDO to hit ps3 .... not sure i trust enough in turbine to put together something better for ps3 (while i like the idea of harry pothead MMO i dont think it will be as big on consoles as it would be on PC espcially since ps3 and xbox are aimed at a higher aged consumer) and a mmo like HP would be filled with kids for sure. But i might be interesting to instead of pvp have quidich lol

............... ANYWHO ...............

got a couple more questions

1) Having now seen pics of the new raid loot .... I am forced to remember how craftable rings where going to make up for not haveing greensteel handwraps ..... but when i look at the rings in the loot pics (posted on beta forums example pic http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/jgould2005/DDO/Items/Lamannia/OremisRing.jpg) they say that they can be crafted using "imbued shard of Great power" not Imbued supreme .... that means my monk still cannot have lightning III ability when using handwraps ....

my question is .... Is there another ring i dont know about ? and if not then is there plans to finally implement greensteel weave handwraps and thus the ring wasnt created?

I think this is a big question and the answer could lead some monk lovers to leave if not answered correctly there has been alot of talk on the forums this last year about how turbine hates the monk class and it would be nice to see them remedy this issue to prove them wrong.

2) what teasers can you hint at about Dreaming Dark .. many of us only play regular DnD and havent ventured into Eberron or just plane never heard of it out side of the announcement and little info given in the link about dreaming dark .. why should i be excited ? (positive why not negative why)

This hit me this morning and I don't know if it has been covered but what the hell.

Magic the Gathering, R&D uses 3 psychographics profiles (Timmy, Johnny, and Spike) for what players will enjoy what card and develop so many cards for each group / combination. And they often describe a card as such. For example “A card for Timmy that a Spike can love!”

What are the Ddo profiles like? Do they also have a nice label so we can say oh this part of the dungeon is so for a X and this part is so Y? And Are the named items created in a similar manner? Player Z will grind for this where player Y will love it if in is the chest but not go out of the way to get it?

This would be very handy to know.

While i realize there are bigger fish to fry ala Druid ... how much work or thought has gone into implementing Psionic classes races and bad guys?

oh here is one i totally forgot ... hope it has been mentioned before but would like to see it brought up again

there are alot of people who would love MONKEY GRIP feat if it where to be added to DDO.

for them who dont know Monkey Grip allows you to weild a single two-handed weapon (greataxe greatsword etc) in one hand allowing you to sword and board with a large weapon.

is there any plans to implement it in up coming mods/updates ?

*edit* you cannot use monkey grip to dual weild large weapons only allows you to weild A SINGLE TWO-HANDED WEAPON in one hand allowing you to use a sheild.

......................................

Are you folks at trubine going to come up with some kind of cool name for updates like LOTR has "books" ... mod and update sound kinda lame ... could we not call them Tomes or something a little more DnD esc ?

I think we discussed psionics in the past, can't remember what was said. Don't hold you breath on monkey grip, can you imagine how game unbalancing that could be? Everyone'd be using greatswords one handed. Unless it had a huge cost to get, at which point people just wouldn't use it. And what about two weapon fighting? Dual weilding falchions....

I like the renaming idea.

i can see how unbalancing it woud have been pre mod 9 but the GH system makes it fessable

It still requires a feat so only really fighters have the benifit barbs might choose to take it but since they have limited feats its unlikely that they will give up improved crit or power attack or cleave or toughness

need weapon focus to get improved crit so really as a barb who has not many feats there isn't really much option and only ones who would use it are sword an board builds with high ac

I dont think it would be unbalancing at all when you look at it from that perspective

only really fighters can take it .... unless a barb wants to waste two levels for fighter and two rouge for evasion and then there rages wont be as good.

because it doesnt allow you to dual weild them it doesnt change anything at all eccept gaining DR from sheilds and AC boost to fighters who use two handed weapons which most dont focus on ac if they are using two handed builds anyway which will make GH system not piss off all the people just monks and rangers and dual weilders.

really i dont see the unbalancing issues

it doesnt add alot of ac unless you build for it

sheilds decrease the max dex so unless you are gonna take fighter sheild mastery all the way to max out your dex your not gonna see much difference in ac

all it really does is allow fighters who dont max dex to have a decent ac (without the dex on my dwarf my ac would be mid to low 40's instead of mid 40's to low 50's)

and the DR on a sheild is what 2 maybe 4 and a little more if its a tower sheild

how is that unbalancing?

where it becomes interesting is in the damage vs crit mod vs what feats and enhancements people take cause this could open up hundereds of different build types while at the same time making some DPS builds not as much of a drain on clerics.

not everyone will beable to use the feat and alot of people will pass on it in favor of more hps or other more important feats but for the dwarven str dex builds and similar high dex and str while using armor and sheilds builds might get a boost to dps.

don't know if i asked before but

in pen and paper at lvl 20 you would start fighting GODs (deities and demigods 3.0e) and Archdemons and Archdevils like Orcus (Book of vile darkness 3.0e) will we be seeing some classic DnD pen and paper boss mobs with the advent of lvl 20?

will there be the stages of hell like in BVD showing all the rules over the seperate layers of hell think that would make an awesome adventure area like sub-T with all the gates to seperate hound/vod like raids or missions with red or purple named bosses being the Head arch Demon or Devil for the level of hell being entered.

okay, my question deals with Green Steel, GS, cleansing stones.

I understand it is needed for use with two worn items. But not with weapons. IE you can use two GS weapons that still possess the "taint of shavarath".

Are we going to see any advantages of using the cleansing stones on weapons? IE new powers or the ability to add new powers to the newly cleansed weapon.

What can we do? Were can we go? To list what feats, spells, etc that we as players would like to see in the game? Like the list of meta magics that I would like to see or other feats. What powers that are missing/ not right would I like to see added, familiars. Etc.

Should I just start a ddo.com forum post or is their a better way?

I think i have a great quetions .... what classes, feats and spells do the devs wish they had in DDO ... and why have they not been implamented.

there are a tone I can think of that i want but would be nice to know what they choose as there top 5 classes feats and spells that we dont have to give the player base an idea of where the dev team wishes to go even if they cant.

I want to know why they axed the skating fun!!!! I want it back. *pouts*

For those not sure what I'm writing about, prior to mod 9 you could do the following:

1. Arm a ranged weapon
2. Go into sneak mode
3. Hit auto-run
4. Activate an emote like dance
5. Skate around an area using your movement controls

Mortal Voyage

A friend of mine who came over from the other Game, liked the ability to create combinations and place it in a Hot key which would automatically switch out clothing/jewelry items. I know we can do it with weapon combination/hot key/bar.

Will this type of enhancement be implemented?

I have question about housing since it was mentioned in an interview

will it be personal housing or guild housing?

personally i like the idea of guild housing over personal housing having used both before swg for personaly and coh for guild ... guild housing is much nicer and opens up many possibilities

if guild housing is the plan, will there be any thought on guild housing raids ... pvp matches one guild vs another guild attempting to destroy the others guild base in capture the flag style with defense tactics and items for bases ala CoH?

with dreaming dark being old news now

what direction is Turbine thinking of taking the low mid and high level content to in future mods?

there is alot of great low level content as it stands now but the area of 9-14 is small gianthold/desert and early start in vale is pretty much only option ... while vale should really be more 15-17.

As far as lvl 17-20 content reavers refuge and amarath seem quite small as well

is there any plans to add more in these areas?

also wondering about more low-mid level raids ....

perhaps a series like necropolis where there where stages that took you through many levels only with a no timer like tempest till you have defeated all three parts and all three raids as prep for the high level super loot timed raid.

also i am quite disappointed in the lack of pug friendliness in new raid.

its very difficult and tell ya the truth even my guild hasnt beat it yet (part 2 is stupid hard on normal) ... for that reason the rings which seemed to be a fix for lacking handwraps in shroud will be unachievable for most of the player base.

Is the total lack of pug friendliness a new trend that will be repeated frequently in the new DDO?

challenging is fine but when an experienced guild with good players and top notch loot cannot get through the raid with at level characters on normal there is a problem. I could never pug that raid if i couldnt get past part II with my guild.

which leads me to my next question

will there ever be greensteal handwraps ... new raid is so hard that i dont even have any want to do it again and that means my monk will never get played again cause he is so far gimped by mod 9 that its taken all the fun out of the character and lack of greensteel has finally hit its toll with unbanishable mobs and some even unvorpable through deathblock and what not ... plus the fact that there saves are so incredibly high that quivering plam never works and stunning fist almsot never works.

what are you guys planning to do to help monks out and make them a valued class again in DDO especially since you have them as a store purchase only class? (personal pet peeve as they are my favorite class after kensai fighter)

will remaining prestige enhacenments be lauched with mod 10 aka update 1?

will there be a better official name for updates then update 1? ..... I mean really no coolness there at all even lotro has books.

amarath adventure area states highest level before you cannot get exp there is 25 .... what are the plans for EPIC?
