is it +1 loot this weekend also? Like on the us servers?

[eliseal]

unfortuantely no +1 loot

another tihng when if ever will we be seeing dyes form vendors ofc they would be expensive but i hopethey will get added in the futre

[Astinius]

shocking that +1 loot is on us server and not european..

I would prefer to see +1 loot (that applies to everyone) than some event that I may or may not be "lucky" enough to be picked for. I am further dismayed that we are not in line with the American servers.

As a matter of interest, what is the method of selection for the event? The forum post states "Participants will be chosen at random by Réuloan before each run during the event." How exactly will Réuloan do this?

As the event is part of the "Return to DDO Weekend" there is a suspicion in my mind that the players "randomly selected" may be players that haven't played for a while which may give them incentive to pay a subscription again. Good for business I expect but absolutely no use to the people who currently pay your wages.

Can I have your assurance that this is not going to be the case?

I can assure you that the random process is really random. We have no time to check if it's a returning player in the middle of an event or if the player has been there since beta.

Thank you for that confirmation Agrim.

A joke again


Telling people that there will be a shard but not spawning one.

telling that they are on a timer but not showing it to them.

Pritty lame if you ask me.

And lagg spikes did kill that game.

Eh, what?
1. What do you mean not spawn shards? How could people find em if they weren't there? And that only some groups found em can easily be explained by the fact that the maze was frickin huge combined with that shards aren't visible until you are pretty much on top of em.
2. As far as I know there isn't really any way for them to actually show a timer, however they said it was 5 minutes and is it really that hard to keep track yourself? And why does it even matter? I mean I don't see people stopping the searching just because they are being told its less then a minute left.
3. Lag spikes? Cant speak for everyone but I had only minor lag at the start and even that was gone at about halfway through the event.

Cant speak for everyone else but personally I thought this was one of the better events we've had, good job CM!
