I got the trial version, and the way it looks, I'm gonna buy it full. Fun as hell. Any other pavvies on? I'm gonna make a 2nd character and am wondering what server to go on (my current character is a rogue1/barbarian1 on...thelanis, or however it spelt). I can voice chat. So, any trogdlyte ass-stomping pavvie action in my future?

Re: Any DDO players?

Re: Any DDO players?
Alrighty.
I'm not a fan of MMO's myself, but after a real session of DnD, one of the players (I was DM) gave me a free trial. Turns out I don't have a DVD drive, but the trial is available off the website. I downloaded in, like, 45 mins, and started it up: only to spend another 30 patching.
But when I actually started with character creation, things looked up a bit. Sure, some things from real DnD are taken out, but you can tell why they went (for example, no animals, thus, no ride or handle animal), and theres a few new things to boot. I made a rogue using a 28 point buy (and as thats the same for Living Greyhawk, the worldwide DnD campaign that I love, I imported one of my characters.) He looked kinda how I wanted him too (bit old looking) and he still resembled his paper counterpart in statisitcs.
Tutorials, blah blah blah you know the drill, and then the game started. And thats when I learned the greatest thing about DDO:
The community.
Maybes it was just my server, but on DDO, general chat had no annoying spammers, flamers, trolls, etc. It was almost silent. Did some solo quests, died, then I tried the party system. It's great. You usually qualify for 1-2 parties searching for members, and if not you can make one that fills pretty fast. (although warforged are kinda discriminated against. Go figure.) Then you start a dungeon. BTW, you NEED voice chat on: even if you can't talk yourself, almost everything is conveyed by voice. The players are helpful, nice, and funny.
I still have 10 trial days left, and my character is almost third level (it will be a barbarian one.) They are supposed to keep your file for a while, so when I get my dog baby-sitting money I'm probably buying this. Greatest MMO ever.Comment

Re: Any DDO players?
How does it compare to guild wars though?Comment
-
Re: Any DDO players?
Compare to Guild Wars? It doesn't. Guild Wars isn't that fun. DDO is. Beyond that, it's like trying to compare apples to M16's. The party system may seem like Guild War's instance system, but really they're extremely different.
[EDIT: And RD, did you have voice chat on and play party dungeons? WITH parties?]Last edited by hitogoroshi; 12-31-2006, 03:12 PM.Comment

Sorry, RD, I'm just not a fan of GRINDING. At least with DDO, the dungeons are fun multiple times.Comment
