    U78 Preview 2: 20th Anniversary Raider's Rewards

    TLDR Thats my go to. Too long didn't read. I read alot of this. Honestly, i was going to create a nice spreadsheet today to figure out what I could buy with runes and what I needed to create augment sets from the items in the box. I guess ill save time now . Well, honestly, this game has...

    So... no balance changes for U78?

    I personally think that casters need a pass. It doesnt need to be relegated to "hey melee guy, open the door, so I can one shot the mob in the next room". I think we are past the time where we need to just revert the R7+ nerf. That was a sledgehammer when you added in the crappy adj to the...

    new quest announcement . another lv 30 plus that i will never run, great

    I dont know, i kinda see epics as a means to an ends. Im trying to get to 30 asap once I hit 20. Do we need more variety? I can see where it might seem boriung to run the same thing every life, but I myself am a creature of habit. I only run the good XP quests that are fast, and I supplement...

    U78 Preview: 20th Anniversary Raiders Reward Box

    one per character is solid. quiver is nice if you are leveling (just make sure you get the basic quiver, not the epic version so you can use at lev 1). I'll prob go with a few items that I want to turn into augments. 200xp is nice, but it is also a trap!!!

    Why add a new caster hybrid when casters are trash?

    I feel like this is really the twilight zone. last time they did a hybrid, it was a monk caster, and we all know that its 1/2 as good as a caster and 1/2 as good as a monk. i expect this to be 1/2 as good as a rogue and 1/2 as good as a caster. (but i could be wrong) ;)

    What are peoples thoughts on the Producers Letter for the 20th Anniversary Year?

    Glad to see we now have the letter. I read it and here is my honest take. Happy about more playable classes and races. Gives me something to do. Hoping PL Passives are worth it (or at least intriguing). My guess is the new Dwarf race will be a Con PL. (just a guess) Level cap 36. Sweet...

    Quest Speedrun Records

    One of my favorite mini games in ddo is seeing how fast I can go from 1-20 for racials. I keep a spreadsheet tab on every life. It details the quests i run, the time it takes and the pot time used (as this will be greater than actual quest time if you run through the wilderness). I've mapped...

    Define Zerging ...

    I skip boxes only if I know from personal experience and dungeon knowledge time that it will actually lower xp/min (if i solo). In a group, im busting everything if the leader is blazing ahead. I try to help maximize xp/ min if I can. However if somebody says let me disable traps in wiz king...

    Define Zerging ...

    For me, zerging is optimized xp/min whilst I run the dungeon for the 500th time. If this means skipping optionals that actually lower the xp/min, and not breaking every box, which may lead to lower xp/min, then that is my definition. But, there are many subtle layers of zerging. To each their...

    Solo your own quest..... not someone elses

    TLDR most of this. But alas, this topic comes up every month or so. Everybody is different. I feel like communication is and always will be key. If you want to flower sniff, put something like "no zerging", or "we are sticking together". If you dont do that, and dont mention it, people will...

    Best and worst PUGs to join your LFM (Top 5 Each)

    Oh I like this thread! The best: Leveling zergers - give me 2 sorcs with sprint boost and barb or monk for speed! He hates the boxes! - same guy that hates the cans in The Jerk. Breaks boxes cause he hates them. The Jack of all trades - knows and disarms all traps you forget as you zerg...

    6 Months Later: How is life on the new 64-bit servers?

    Personally, I spent years leveling a few toons on khyber. I got to know a ton of people and always felt like I could join any lfm. When I got to thrane, I found that there are a ton of LFMs, but for some reason, I have become picky on when I play and what I play. Its almost like I have become...

    Griglok's Top 3 List of Requested Changes for DDO in 2026

    The fact that reaper bonuses cost 75 fragments and you can only use those 1 time ever makes it hard for someone like me to even want to spend them until level 40. I would love an augment slot for both that and mythic bonuses. Until that happens, ill just be frugal on my spending habits:)

    Would like input from people about run/movement speed (concerned)

    I read about 1/2 of this thread, so forgive me if this was already stated. My impression on movement speed is this. A vet will be faster than a new llayerv10/10 times. Odds are this will cause the new player to feel inadequate . There are many ways to increase your speed as a new player...

    Player Deep Dive - Is It True SSG Can't Discount IOD Due To Otto's Boxes?

    Yeah in reality, these are definitely not real numbers as opposed to back of the napkin math to show how SSG could look at things. In other words, there is a way to prove things out with actual data. To answer your questions: The 100 new sales with x number of incremental sales is just a...

    Player Deep Dive - Is It True SSG Can't Discount IOD Due To Otto's Boxes?

    I work in pricing. I thought some back of the napkin math could help. There is a break even somewhere here that SSG apparently cant figure out. How many IOD packs can we sell at x% off and still make as much or more $. Inputs needed Current price (BAU)/Future Discounted price (FMO) - i...

    Cursed Cards vs Experience Stone Saga rewards

    I would always take cards now. Let's say you are on a 50 pot. That legendary saga is worth roughly 460k xp. You can get 460k xp in like 3 quests. So 10-20 mins more of questing/slayers and your are there anyway. To each their own.

    Lag made me take a break, now what?

    For me, i used to play daily. I had racial PLs to do, reaper points to get, and other personal goals. Well ive been playing so long that I have come to an impasse. I have 2 main toons and a tank. I try and login, but my desire is just not there. I enjoy running for a quest or 2, but dont...

    Level Limits for Progressing Lute is Absolute TRASH

    From the announcement: That's confusing? Unfortunatley, Yes Good Enough (no change) You can only acquire a Winter Court Lute with a level 1 character that has received less than 1500 XP. A Reincarnated character with any Past Lives is unable to take up this challenge. Better You can only...
