Will there be a Preview 2 for the Melee/Caster/Ranged Combat changes? :D

Strange as last time I checked, DDO is an MMO (Masive Multiplayer Online). Which Solo play misses the whole point of.

Not everyone's life is the same.

NS! But don't expect an MMO to tailor itself to solo play without some serious issues for the other support classes.

Lock-in isn't going to work with hand and a half weapons, only true 2 handed weapons.

Missed that part, but it's ill-thought. It stomps out the SWF+THF monk uber-power while leaving all the others as nichie fluff. Should instead do lock-in as Doublestrike boost typed identically to Monk's quick-strike buff. Now it's all balanced.

Explain how? Every other melee in existence is getting better.

I don't think "every other melee" is a good phrase for "monk".

Fundamentally we're at a place where...

for many easier=fun...

whilst for a different many harder=fun...

Plus, generally most folks don't like change, when no change is never really an option.

That's an impossible balance to achieve to keep everyone happy. So that's not what is happening or going to happen. I find it best to accept that reality.

Just need to suck it up or leave folks if it makes you truly that unhappy. I mean if you don't enjoy something, fgs stop doing it.

I'm going to see how it actually plays out in game before making any choice but reckon on balance it will be OK over the piece. YMMV though. I get that. No problem.

I just suggest you may actually try it out for a bit before deciding.

These forums are littered with predictions of doom and other agenda driven hyperbole which are absolutely not to be trusted and best ignored IMO as, unsurprisingly, things never quite developed as predicted in game.

Oh might be time to leave but I'd much rather enjoy playing the fun game i have been. If it's inevitable that everything fun in the game get's wrecked, then the population with continue to shrink.

If that were true, well naturally yes. I don't believe it is though.

Pure TWF Barb using sickles. Dont judge.

To late, THAT caused me some difficulty, I was mid drink when I started laughing and then choking . .

There will probably be one more preview, but most everything you see there is happening with some minor changes to numbers. They didn't spend the better part of the last six months prepping for this balance pass only to pull a bunch of their work

They're going to have 2 more lams, over many months, and come back with like..."After hearing all your feedback we've changed the DR change to be 45% instead of 50%"
