Are you new here or something? Whenever the devs make a negative change and stonewall or ignore all comments, as often as not it's to squeeze more money from the playerbase. They absolutely don't deserve the benefit of the doubt after more than a decade of this. Do you remember the marketplace...

Quality of life is a big deal. There are things I enjoy and want to do in DDO, like slaughtering entire villages of minotaurs and taking their shinies. I'm not interested in roleplay or wasting time walking/riding around, I am sick of inventory tetris, and I suffer from impatience. As soon as...

I agree with the OP on many of the issues faced by new players in DDO. New players often struggle with elite, and r1 can be overwhelming, especially when you consider the higher run speed we enjoy in Korthos and the harbor from quiver or past lives. I've seen "vets" who jump through traps and...

I read as far as the Soundburst suggestion and stopped. No. Not signed. Never. Do you even cleric, bro? Hands off soundburst. It's reliable CC from kobolds in the harbour through to stunning reapers at cap. Blindness is a useless effect, stuns are amazing.

Stone Crypt Chronicle - crest in mummy room. I have had it bug at least twice, most recently on Saturday night. Running heroic r1, tried to pick up crest with a full inventory. Skellies spawned, killed all mobs including the mummy. Made some room in inventory, picked up crest, door would not...

I think the rem turn-in power curve is great. It is fully accessible to even casual players, who can easily get between one-third and one-half of the reward that can be gained by the most hard-core players in the game who grind 80 hours a week. Not that I can even remotely afford even 8 pulls...

I updated the Lamannia client during the day, hyped about the second preview. Then I saw this thread and the btc "gift" status of the rewards. Didn't transfer a character. Didn't log in to Lama. Didn't even care to run any quests on my regular server. Instead, I went and spent the past hour...

augments not working on pets is a known issue for a couple of years now.

I've read a lot of terrible suggestions on the forums over the years. Congratulations, this one ranks among the worst. We don't need extra friction and complexity on the auction house. It's already a shadow of what it used to be before the ASAH. As it is, I only list items to help new players...

The borders were a terrible implementation from the start. I recall that there was a bunch of work put in by Tonquin around U50 to standardize borders and allow people to distinguish between items. With the amount of inventory management time that DDO already requires from players, anything that...

I noticed a bit of forum drama this morning, and thought that at times, Cordo's job must feel quite like a thankless and unending grind. So I wrote a little something to add a bit of cheer to his day, shamelessly adapted from Gilbert & Sullivan's Major-General's Song. I am the very model of a...

The difficulty ranges are fine in DDO. I remember the old epic difficulty when it first came out, which was like hitting a wall compared to the old endgame of heroic elite. After a long break, it was very pleasant to come back and find myself able to solo epic hard to regear and relearn the...

Just had one drop for me tonight in epic WK.

Welcome to DDO. Named loot can be frustrating, but as others have said, no need to try to get it all at once. Build some past lives, move gear around as you level alts, and don't sweat it too much. Lots of people would like to see old loot updated, others prefer new content, and guess which one...

Posting separately with some cleric-specific thoughts for higher reaper. If you're after more challenging content and want to get reaper XP faster, you should have no problem playing any cleric (or bard, FvS, druid) in support roles in r4, r6, or possibly higher depending on your gear and...

You can cover most of your worries by just communicating either in the lfm ("don't know quest well") or in party chat when people join ("hi welcome, I don't know this quest well, so if you do, I'd be happy to follow you"). People will assume that the party leader knows what they are doing and...

Have you ever even gone through the full list of passive and active epic past live feats? Three lives of Ancient Power gives +6 attack and +6 damage for THF, which is very noticeable at level 1 and well beyond. Other things like hit points and MRR/PRR really help for things like surviving lag...

Warning - expired Rusted Night Revels Keys are currently listed on the shard auction house. The worst scumbags among the playerbase are once again gleefully ripping off new players, even on Cormyr. Who could possibly have predicted this? I couldn't find older forum content since it was...

The transfer wizards are appalled at the blood splatter, gore, and heaven knows what else that is all over your characters, and rightly refuse to touch them. Maybe a few weeks of soaking in an acid pit followed by a nice lava bath will clean up enough of the mess you made from the incessant...
