    DDO game mechanics I've never understood

    I use Dungeon Helper for Trove, the item-tracking plugin. It's the only plugin I use, as all the other ones have some weird little quirks that annoy me into not using them, but Trove is basically essential for DDO so you don't spend forever digging through bank alts or keeping track of your...

    Free Questing Coupon (somewhat controversial)

    I feel the bigger problem with the content monetization with regards to new players is that the game's best content is far and away the paid expansions (as it should be), but new players won't invest in buying that content until they know if they like the game, but the expansion content is the...

    Bound items, time for a reset

    Always obnoxious how everyone on the internet thinks there can only be two things. Personally I don't care about gearing alts, I don't have any non-bank alts in the first place. BtA doesn't affect me at all. BtC affects me in that my main's bank space is being taken up by gear I will use...

    Bound items, time for a reset

    BtA and BtC do the opposite, they break the RP immersion in MMORPG. There's no roleplay and nothing immersive about getting some sword that either no one else can physically have in their storage locker (BtC) or other people can physically hold in their backpack but not in their hand (BtA). It's...

    Too Many Actions, My Fingers Can’t Keep Up

    I think this is one of those the game is what you make of it things. I've been doing melee (and low-hotbar casters, like warlock) past lives for a long time, and I barely use what's on my hotbars and even have blank spaces in them. I have a total of 7 hotbars and can consolidate them down 5, and...

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

    You're picking apart language semantics, but "limited ability" can be for any reason at all, such as the business reasons limiting their ability to actually implement the sale. Ability doesn't have to mean their technical ability to implement it, it could also mean their bosses won't let them.

    What are peoples' thoughts on the monetization in this game?

    I often complain about bootlickers in games like these, where people defend stuff like spending astral shards on rerolls combined with chest ransack -- super predatory -- but despite that, I agree with you. I enjoy this game and want it to survive. I want to give it money, but I want the money I...

    What are peoples' thoughts on the monetization in this game?

    I agree that there is a lot of nuance (mostly, the way updates rolled out) to ransack, but the first sign of extra-predatory trouble was literally gambling with shards on rerolls. It just got worse from there with rare gear, curse cards, and stuff like that. I'm still honestly shocked they...

    What are peoples' thoughts on the monetization in this game?

    Back in the day when this game was more or less the main game that started the paid MMO converting to F2P MMO trend, the monetization was pretty alright. You could play for free, but you could one-time purchase adventure packs (with money or points) to own them forever with no recurring cost...

    Festivult

    There is a post from December 5th up on the on the main website that says the coins are dropping in advance of the turn-in vendor going live, so people can get a little head start.

    The sales are bad

    When we're on a reincarnation train, most of us don't really want to walk through the world anymore just to go start a quest for the 100th+ time, even if it's just 10-20 seconds of walking and a couple loading screens. When you do anything repetitive, there are a lot of little death by a...

    So I want the most brain dead character possable.

    I mean, if you're counting people just copying a build off the internet as a modicum of intelligence, then sure. Also I wouldn't necessarily categorize the game's layers of build variety and lack of good UX design/writing as requiring someone to "be intelligent" to understand more than just...

    How is the new Expansion?

    For me, it comes in maybe right below Isle of Dread? Similar loot/crafting system Just ignore rare gear as per usual The wilderness isn't annoyingly humongous, but it is visually repetitive (what else is new) The theme and aesthetics don't feel as unique to me as Barovia. It's like the Flesh...

    So I want the most brain dead character possable.

    You can just be a barbarian/shifter, hold left click, and only ever press the rage button. I just did those lives like that. Pretty similar to Inquisitor builds too, just have to press Conjure Bolts sometimes, don't need to press any other button other than attack. It'd go a little faster if...

    Another Honest Review of DDO

    To each their own, but I skip Eveningstar as much as possible. I hate almost everything about it. The gear (mostly useless, obviously, since it's old), the generic blandness of the themes, the boring empty wildernesses, etc. One of the most revitalizing things I've ever learned about the game...

    Beautiful crisp and sharp DDO graphics with Reshade

    Original is more blurry for sure, but the reshade pic also exposes more aliasing, I guess due to less blurriness. Looks worse to me tbh

    So when and were, does the worst amount of lag start happening?

    I still don't think there is any specific place. I'm currently just stuck in the loading screen after character selection at 2:37pm on a Saturday EST.

    It's definitely DDO and not me!

    need 20 barb Razorclaw build

    Thanks, this has been working better. The build still isn't great at damage, but that T5 Ravager heal procs way more than I initially thought it would when I first read the tooltip. That said, still isn't working great, even with all the right gear. Not sure what I'm missing about RCS/barb, but...

    need 20 barb Razorclaw build

    So, been using the build laid out above, but feel like I'm missing something about it. At level 15 with the usual Sharn gear, the build was killing stuff fast and easily, but still taking enough damage to where I had to occasionally stop and heal with potions. At 18-19 it slowed down in both...
