Are you bored...

[sisterjinx]

I'm really curious to see how many people in this community are feeling this way. Are you getting a little bored with the same old stuff? Is the game just not what it used to be? Were you hoping the mod would change that and now realizing it may not? How many folks are really considering calling this the end?

I can't quite make myself do it yet. Hubby and I still enjoy the time we spend playing together and our friends online as well. But I have to say that it isn't what it used to be and I don't see a lot of new and exciting stuff coming to give me something interesting to explore either. No new stuff to choose from while leveling. The new open area might be fun to explore for a while though. :)

[Theboz]

Yep, Im bored too, and I cant really see myself leaving yet, either.

[Lorichie]

Yep, Im bored too, and I cant really see myself leaving yet, either.

^^This. i am bored. first time ever. this is after playing 12+ hours a day for three years. and i'm just now getting bored. i've not done many raids, i still have many characters to level, but i have no initiative to actually do it. but i wont leave. i may continue to play couple other games, or free trials or some alpha's and beta's to break up that twelve+ hours, but it wont be in replacement of ddo.

there is nothing like it, and i dont think there will be, plus the community has me hooked. sorry, i'm not going anywhere. i have the feeling mod nine is the turn around point for this game for most people. for the good or the bad. we'll see how many of each. i'm more excited about this mod than i was the last two or three, well since mod four i guess. i play a LOT, being able to solo and actually advance when nothing is going on at four am est is a big deal to me. i'm here till the end.

fwiw,

R

[...v...]

Yes, I wont be renewing my account next month. I'll come back later and see if it gets better maybe around mod 10 if this game is still around then. The lag really is killing this game on top of other things. What really ****es me off is that we still get devils popping in walls in shroud part 4, which are not fixed yet, but it was a must to nerf WoPs. Not to mention VOD is unplayable and the lacking content and DDOs low ambitions for its product. Instead of dumping all that money in a WoW clone they should of expanded DDO to greater heights. This game with its combat system could have been the next WoW. However it lost it's magic for now and I doubt mod 9 will keep me here. Mod 8 was another disaster with its roulette crafting and how about those uber monks? It just shows how out of touch the devs are to players needs. Instead of monks they should have gave us half-orcs or druids would have made things more interesting.

[I_Bob]

Same here. I finally got on Mod 9 after 17 hours, and then did that quick work around - 15 mins - looked around for a bit, and realized there is nothing to do there. Cool looking... Went back to Stormreach, and nothing to do there either, though it is prettier.

I do like the new bank tab, will save lots of time. But then, lots of time to do what?.. The new targeting is interesting but still targeting the same old monsters in the same old places.

This is my first partially negative post. I love the game, probably won't quit soon, but it's getting kind of tired. A few of the quests are spruced up a bit, but they're still the same quests. I would really like some new quests for all levels. I have only one capped, and several in various level stages so any level quests would be appreciated. Mod 9 is kind of a disappointment - very pretty to look at, but not much fun to be in.

[xberto]

I still play a lot but it is kind of half heartedly. I'm about sick of shroud. I join group out of habit then as I begin beating portals I get tired and regret having started another shroud:(

[Spisey]

Same bored to tears but had already resubbed for 6 months meaning I am here a whole lot less. I will occasionally log in to hit a few raid timers (zzzzzzzzzzzz) for those toons who still have something to get. Otherwise I will be finding better things to do with my time....

The new mod is guaranteed to be played out in less than a month and back to the same wait game that Turbine always offers us. The devs have lost complete touch of what is imprtant and what is fluff. The b@stards keep choosing fluff over content which is one major reason the game will never grow. The current player base just keeps swapping out subs between those that are taking breaks and the occasional new player, who eventually finds that the rat race is not interesting enough for them. A small world that grows at the rate of cold molasses and repeating content over and over and over and over and over and over again..... Did I mention lack of developing content? :(

[boldarblood]

Bored of the game, no. Bored of the lack of content, yes. They need to prioritize what is important. They need to add more content to the game, we need more quests.

[bandyman1]

/signed.

Although I will be canceling my subs.

[ducetrae]

bored yes but i love the game but my love of the game does not trump the boring content and lack of content i am tired of seeing. i have cancelled my subscription and will try the content if it comes out before the end of my current month runs out. but i doubt it will be any good. the game is deliberately staying away form pnp with the changing of transmuting and wop and i am a dnd pureist . so i have gone back to playing 3.5 rule set pnp with my friend who also quit ddo months ago

[rezo]

/sign, I was thinking of A.) going to a new sever or B.) doing a Perma-death group. Don't know which one I'll do. :eek:

[Slink]

LOL, I started to type alot of things I'm bored with in this game.

Got to almost 5 paragraphs too. None of it had to do with bugs/lag/content.

[Sirea]

I try to roll out a different character every couple months or so to mix it up some. I just did a bard. Now I'm leveling up a tank, after her it'll probably be a sorc. Just to see quests from the perspective of a different class or race.

So far it's been working. But I only have a couple character slots left :(

[UnderwearModel]

I am not an expert so I have plenty left to do.

I have yet to craft anything. And I have the ingredients to craft with. But it does not interest me.

I gave up on getting on to Lamannia. Too much struggle and I do not have the time to spend four hours or so to figure it out. I would rather play than do that.

[incontinetia]

I enjoyed the new server, and there is good and bad.

I am a tad bored these days. Seeing the mountain of shroud grinding before me, im having a hard time with its enormity.

Being able to play the new quests would have been a plus:(
I have a month left so Ill be here at least that long. If things go well, longer still.

[akla_thornfist]

im bored but mod 9 will be here soon that should keep me buzy for a bit.

[Pyromaniac]

Definitely bored, cut back my DDO time a few months back to half of what it used to be. I plan on playing less in the future - won't be cancelling my sub yet as its got a while to go.

Three main issues are increasing my lack of interest:

1) Lag
2) Lack of new content. 4 quests/1 raid for mod 9 isn't going to keep this game interesting.
3) Re-grinding old content. Given greensteel deconstruction and character respecing doesn't seem to be ever coming, it just feels like work and not fun redoing things I've done a lot before.

[moonprophet]

...but not ready to leave permenantly. Have cut waaaaay back though. They need to give us something to do when not in a quest, and add more mid level content. A real crafting system would go a Loooooong way. Incorporate gems and allof the various collectibles. Keep the recipes a secret so that we can stumble upon cool rare things through trial and error. Allow us to alter character and equipment appearance. Guild housing is also long overdue.

[Korvek]

Exxtremely.

I don't plan on canceling yet. Going to see precisely what interest Mod 9 can create for me.

[sisterjinx]

Thank you all. Glad to see I'm not alone. Sometimes I go to log in and I suddenly get so tired, even if I just woke up. That's bored. But then sometimes you just get that great group that hypes you up again and that's always great. Hoping the boredom passes because I really do love the game.

[Joseph92]

I guess I am lucky that I don't get to play a ton. On average, I would say that I play 10 to 20 hours a week depending on my schedule. Sometimes I go several days with out being able to play. My wife, son and job take a lot of time...

I guess what I am saying is this: there is a ton of content in this game. That is if you don't play 12 hours a day, every day. If you find your self that bored with this rich, beautiful world they have created, maybe you need to go for a walk once in awhile. Or to a movie. Or go see your mother (Mother's Day is coming up you know....).

I am not trying to be rude here folks, but this is a GAME. It should not take up so much of your life that you are bored so easily. Again, sorry if I have offended anyone, but if you are that bored and you find yourself playing all of the time, you may need to take a look at your life and figure out what is important.

Do you realize how long we've been stuck at each level cap? Do you seriously think that it requires over 10-20 hours a week to keep up with the rest of the game's players, when level cap increases are spread so far apart???

How many months go by now before release of new mods, in which every new quest can be run to successful completion in 4-6 hours by a competent guild?

No offense was taken, and I hope none was given, but I seriously think that you are out of touch with the majority of the playerbase if you feel like there is a ton of content in this game unless somone has no life outside of DDO.

[Aspenor]

I'm bored....and I only get about 10 hours in a week, TOPS....

[Hokiewa]

I'm bored....and I only get about 10 hours in a week, TOPS....

Then there is absolutely nothing Turbine can do to satiate you. Find a new game, or re-roll.....Your not that great of a player

[GlassCannon]

with the fact that people insist that they have the perfect party combination to even form up for a quest. I'm tired of waiting for every little class to line up perfectly so we can go run a simple little quest that just might kill us.

I'm bored with the timid and placid apathetic attitude of the community that would rather stand in place for 4 hours than run some less-than-pleasant quests.

DDO is pretty ok... it's the people that are getting to me, and the other people that I stick around for.

[GlassCannon]

Yes.

Many. It was a lot faster when we had more players. Modules came almost back to back, whereas now that the community is much smaller as a whole, the modules drag out into oblivion, peeking out every now and then to surprise us.

No offense was taken, and I hope none was given, but I seriously think that you are out of touch with the majority of the playerbase if you feel like there is a ton of content in this game unless somone has no life outside of DDO.

The only way you can think that there is not enough content is if you do not have a life outside DDO.

[Ollathir]

I enjoy soloing. The challenges of trying to do something relying on your own skill to perform. But I think the people I run with regularly when I don't solo are what keep me coming back. Awsome amount of skill in Chaos Knights Guild Argo.

Certain things changing that are turning me off about the game. Seems the delay has been more about changing the feel of the game. I don't know what the end result will be from this, but I guess I'll see how it plays out.

[Nevthial]

I'm slightly dissapointed with the Mod, but with that being said, I'm not bored at all. I enjoy the comraderie in game and still have many goals to reach. I've put off crafting Green Steel even ( Just been gathering ingredients), so I have that to look forward to once I see what items Mod 9 brings. Naaw, I'm far from bored.

[Mekkah]

It's not hard to play that much if one has the time and a large friends list. My work allows me the ability to play 10+ hrs a day for up to 3 months at a time. You run a few quests with someone to get an item they are seeking, then hop onto an alt for another item run, ect. Before you know it, the day is gone. For example: Today I re-flagged for SOS, got my wife 1200 kills in the orchard, got a friend 200 more in the orchard, looted the Sub, and ran feast or famine and maze on a lowbie, then looted the desert, I just now logged off after 13 hours.....

[bandyman1]

/QFT.

Although I'd imagine running with GC on a regular basis would solve the boredom problem.

Sure to be lot's of excitement trying to recover the party from his uber playstyle that leads to TS being impossible at level, Shroud being impossible without GS, and VoD being impossible for everyone but the most elite of players on each server :rolleyes:.

Just lmao.

[sisterjinx]

Well I can't speak for the person who said 12+ hours a day but some of us who play for many many hours a day are severely physically disabled. Hubby and I are unable to leave the house much so this provides a nice way to socialize and kill time when there is really not much else for us to do.

I too did not take offense to the comments about not having a life outside of DDO but that really wasn't the point here. (why do I feed the trolls ugh) The point wasn't even to bash DDO or the devs, because any game that can hold my attention for as long as this has is great in my opinion. I was simply curious about the general state of boredom. I've heard a few mumbles and groans and I was wondering how widespread it really was.

For the person(s) (sorry I don't pay enough attention to names) who felt the need to come to DDOs defense and at the same time make offending comments (if they were not meant to be so you wouldn't have to qualify them) I'm sorry you thought this thread was something other than curiousity.

For those who responded with boredom yes, I really think it will pass. I hope it will pass. And thanks for sharing your boredom thoughts here.

[Griphon]

Bored?

Bored with the lack of content... YES.

Will I be canceling my account soon? Depends on if they have more content added in Mod9 that will keep me interested.

While I am pleased with the advances to the various systems of DDO.. Spells and Specialties... The game doesn't survive on those. They're good.. But they don't make players stick around as long as say 12 quests or so dropping in one Mod.


Please.. Hire more quest designers, Turbine!

[Gryphton]

bored as hell... even deleting toons to make new ones for something to keep my interest. I'm not out of here, I like my friends and the community. Sucks when allot of your friends have already left the game, guess you just hope they will be back.

[Drekisen]

not bored at all....in fact I would have to say I am just scratching the surface on this game. I think all the stuff they are adding in the new mod is great...the difficulty scaling will be awesome for when u can't find full groups and there are just too many builds I wanna make across the servers to be even close to bored.

I still find it fascinating when I jump on to one of the servers I have just started on and get the thrill out of having to conquer the game again to spoil my lowbies.

Of course I took a couple months break from the game but that was more out of technical issues frustartion than being bored with the content.

So nope, I am still quite happy with this games content, and very much looking forward to the new mod.

[Return_To_Forever]

not totally bored yet, just hoping Mod9 brings it, and also hoping that Turbine can see what is really needed, alot of content, like an expansion or something huge, and/or just more, and frequent mods, and or content additions.

I dunno, Turbine, I hope your listening.

[Archetype]

So bored......I left DDO for 3 months to try another MMO (Warhammer Online). (Bored there also after Tier 3, and from listening to the annoying "fresh from WoW" playerbase yelling, "I PWNED YOU, DUDE! HAHAHAHAHAHAH" Happy to be back with the most excellent DDO Community.)

So bored......When I came back to DDO I re-rolled 5 of my 10 capped toons to "tweak" their builds and/or try new approaches to....well, the same quests that were there when I left.... (And now, @ 3 months later...um....most of these rerolls are either capped again or close to it, the nostalgia of running Waterworks or Deleras or The Shroud...AGAIN....after a break is gone, and I am back to where I was when I left...waiting for Turbine to actually *cough* produce some "award winning"...what's the word again?....Oh, yeah! :mad:CONTENT:mad:!)

So bored......of not having any REAL crafting to do to fill the time. (This is an MMO, yes? Where are the timesinks? Where can I work out my OCD need to rearrange backpacks of ingredients and collectibles, experimenting with new formulaes. MY WIZARD HAS NO LABORATORY!!! :eek: I would be happy to grind ingredients for hours of gametime, if I could just dye my freekin' armor, eh? )

So bored......of attempting to reach the "Vast and Mysterious" staff of Turbine, Inc. here on their Official Forums, and feeling like I am giving my monthly fees to the "Enron of MMO Companies" who are just "taking my money..and running...something *else*... with it." :p (Seriously, Turbine, what do you all DO all day long each week? And how much of it actually relates to developing Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach, the game we are paying you to produce? It sure is a Mystery....;) )

[Gizmobrain]

I guess I am lucky that I don't get to play a ton. On average, I would say that I play 10 to 20 hours a week depending on my schedule. Sometimes I go several days with out being able to play. My wife, son and job take a lot of time...

Nicely said. I have a wife and two kids, so the little bit of time I get for DDO, there is plenty of content to keep me busy. DDO rocks! There is nothing out there like this game.

[The_Ick]

Yes i am bored, it just been a while since we got something new.

It is frustrating becase i have tried almost every game out there but i keep coming back to DDO. Our player base is small, which means small dev team. Small dev team means slow content releases. (Pretty sure the dev commitement for DDO quests is lenthier then other MMOs too, but that is part of what makes it awesome)

I have taken time off and i cut back on playing alot. i am sure i will ramp up once the Mod hits, i am concerned that this 6 month between Mod becomes a regular thing.

Really i guess we are all in the same boat. Hoping for more players and people to finally realize this is the best game out there. Then we get our devs the resources they need to get us weekly mods!!!!

Don't worry all, once i rule the world things will be different... :D

[Raithe]

Turbine, what do you all DO all day long each week? And how much of it actually relates to developing Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach, the game we are paying you to produce?

A couple of corrections:

1) The amount of work that goes into creating even one simple animation is quite significant. New monsters are a huge undertaking. The dungeons are all handcrafted, and every section has to be tested for stuck spots, exploits, and quest breakage. Not to mention the significant undertaking of inventing new ideas and stories for quests in the first place.

2) The subscription agreement does not include any guarantee of additional content. Technically, we are paying only for the ability to log in and play on the existing game build on the existing servers. Future development is completely at the prerogative of Turbine's marketing schemers.

I've been bored to a certain degree (not including reading and commenting on the forums) since about April of 2006 (hence my forum join date). The errors that are being made are not ones of complacency, in my estimation, but are related to the following:

1) Bias(es) introduced from playing prior MMOs such as EverQuest and WoW
2) A lack of fundamental computerized gameplay and development experience
3) A lack of direction caused by poor planning and ridiculous game framework concepts

Prior massive MUDs that I played before DDO were technically inferior, much less complex, and much more expensive, yet they held my interest for years at a time. I also never remember complaining about a lack of "content" while playing them.

The problem is that we have no real game to play, not that the game doesn't have enough real estate.

[uhgungawa]

Bored? Yup.

Easily T'd off? Yup.

Thats what I canceled My renewal. I have 12 days left, at that point I'll be taking a long break (if I survive the DTs LOL). Taking a month or two off will cool my jets, and give the DDO team some time to tweak the game play a bit.

Unfortunately I feel the Turbine big wigs are make the DDO team kill the game slowly to make room for their other projects. This is the best MMO out there, and hope I'm wrong with my thinking. But a nice little breather from the game might be the key I need to get a little perspective

Yes, I know the new mod will be out "SOON", But it looks like they did more gameplay tweaking than add content. And I'll burn through it too quickly and be just as bad off if not worse.

[Lorichie]

12+ hours a day? And I'm assuming multiple (3?) accounts.

And you're bored? Really now....you don't say?

Can I ask how you manage 12+ hours a day?

Short version? The wife is disabled. I chose to retire at a young age to take care of her. I have a daily routine which obviously includes her first and at a set schedule throughout the day. THis way she still has some consistency in her life, she gets to choose what she is and isnt able to accomplish on her own, understanding that that concept is fluid, sometimes on a daily basis. During the times that she's settled in or the kids come over to visit and doing what they can to interract with her, i have free time to take care of the house and play. I am very structured and very organized so things like housework take no time at all.

I'm a gamer, its my hobby. Its the only one i can do while i take care of her, i enjoy it and yes i take advantage of it. Oh and for the record, i wasnt complaining. I never do. I'm not disgruntled, i dont whine, i'm not miserable and i'm not leaving. I'm quite simply ready for something more.

Got it. Wasn't trying to be rude or anything, just stating that someone who plays 12+ house a day with tons of toons is bound to get bored sooner or later :)

I agree in that gaming being a hobby - it's definitely mine as well. I may not get to manage 12+ hours a day during the work week, maybe along the lines of 3-4 hours a day Monday - Thursday, but Friday, Saturday and Sunday I'm averaging 8-10 hours on those days.

no offense was taken. i have heard once or twice the "dude you have no life, you live in your mothers basement" yada yada **** before lol so i just wanted to clearly state the "why" without going into to much detail. no one really cares about the details so thats why we stuck to the short version lol. If i came across a bit gruff it wasnt meant to be.

Boredness, like love and happiness is something that comes from inside.

If your bored then I think alot of times your not putting forth the effort to be entertained.

If you dont WANT to play DDO anymore than dont, if you dont find it fun anymore then find something else fun. But I think you should evaluate why youre bored---

Sick of the same old content?
Sick of the same old character?
Sick of the same old game?
Sick of sitting in front of a computer?

Change it. Do something different.

If youre tired of the same old content or youre sick of your characters, then make something new and find some quests you havent run. Ive been here since beta and theres still some quests I havent run. Or better yet, try and get away from the cookie cutter builds (People make them because they are effective, but I think it lends to the game becoming a drag), using something that might not be as effective can be a fun, different and fresh way to view the game.

example,

I have a "battle bard" - high cha, str dumpstat decent dex/ac

I HATE HER! never ever play her anymore. Effective yes, fun no.

BUT

I made myself a "skills bard" recently - high cha, int dumpstat, decent dex/ac

I have more fun selling my loot than actually raiding dungeons, but I still have plenty of fun in quest...SP coming out of my rear from spellsinger, buffing up the other party members, tons of awesome songs, fun intimidating and kiting mobs (I know not really my "role") until the cooldown wears out and I can diplo them back on the folks chasing them while I kite. Then I laugh when the rogues start running from them...hahahaha...Res scrolls, people dont expect me to use them on them when they bite it, esp since Im mid lvl...but I do, and I got the haggle to support carrying them, so I do...And it makes me feel very warm and fuzzy if we have a cleric and he bites it and I bring him back. Again, not really my "role" but I have the ability but who cares when its fun.

also, step back, take some time off from computer...I recently had my mom visit and I didnt play ANY computer games for a week. Once she left I logged in and had enormous fun, because I hadnt played for what seemed to me to be forever.

However, if you are truely bored with the game, then move on! Find the fun times that are out there waiting for you. Dont play a game you dont like anymore just because you spent time playing it in the past. Maybe later you can come back and revisit it. But dont hesitate to walk away if you want to. Its just a video game.

:^)

[ShaeNightbird]

I'm not bored yet. I'm still relatively new to the game, I've only been playing since February 2008. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot less people on my server as of late (Sarlona) but I'm in a couple of active guilds so that makes it easier to find folks to team with.

[Donnie]

Ive been bored with the game a few different times, took a few months and came back each time. Not bored atm.

[Wire_Paladin]

Yep, I've been bored with the game for several months and stopped doing raids altogether. Over the last year I watched players come up with their own diversions while waiting for updates. Speed runs, pvp betting, shroud grinding and the AH. BORING.

For me, the game has jumped the shark (or for the younger players, nuke the fridge). I'm not sure when. Perhaps it was when I pulled 2 icy rainments for my toons in a 2 hour period in the Subterrane. Or when players started selling items in the forums for more platinium than a single toon could keep. I don't know.

What I do know is my renewal is up in June and I have already canceled. I've enjoyed DDO, but its time to move on.

To me, DDO is a MMO of diminishing returns.
