Severlin has put a new thread over in the Official Turbine Discussions forums. He is laying out some upcoming changes they will be implementing into the game.
- Based on player feedback we are implementing some experience changes.
The Flawless bonus to experience now only counts your character’s deaths instead of the entire party. This means if you invite someone less familiar with the content to your group and they die you won’t lose your XP bonus unless you also die.
Henchman deaths no longer reduce the flawless XP penalty.
There is now an NPC in the Hall of Heroes that will suppress your Bravery Streak and associated bonuses. While suppressed you can go off and do content on lower difficulties without ruining your streak. This allows you to group with friends, or join pick up groups, or even do new content on lower difficulty settings without ruining your bravery streak. Note that while suppressed bravery streaks are not ended, but you don’t get associated bravery bonuses.
We also have some special events coming up to reward grouping.
We are working on an additional DDO bonus days event that will award a percentage bonus on completion XP for each additional person in your dungeon group. This will not affect raids.

He also added (due to some concerns)
There are technical reasons for the bravery suppression to be tied to an NPC.
I brought up concerns with the team about convenience, and we are planning to also add the NPC to guild airships.

I cant’ say that I see anything wrong with this changes. I have heard more then 1 person compalin about breaking a streak, with a pug or something like that.
The NPC in the hall heroes, is also a good choice, I never really understood why they did not offer something like this to beigng with.
I’ll be honest here. I have not really ran a lot of the bravery streak stuff at all, I’m playing around with it some on my Warlock right now. as if you listen to the show, you know that I do not TR or I should have not TR’d yet. but I know there will be a lot of people very excited about this.
if you take a look at the full thread, the replies are pretty positive. (There are a few negatives)
There was no induction on to when, this will take effect however.
What is your thoughts? Is this a step in the right direction? Was this needed?
