    Default Does It Mean I'm Addicted To DDO If . . .

    I see a commercial for a truck claiming 381 HP and I think: "****, what a gimp truck. Clearly it dumped Con and didn't take toughness."

    381's not bad for a truck that size. if you saw it on a commercial it's probably 381 stock, shouldnt take much aftermarket goodness to get it to a respectable number.

    besides we dont know if this will be driven casually or in more hardcore ventures, 381's fine depending on the terrain.

    I actually meant that my first interpretation of 381 HP was 381 hitpoints. Hence the dumped Con.

    What about imagining running through work slapping everyone in the face to get agro, then when everyone is grouped up as they chase you, casting Wail?

    381's not bad for a rogue. ihe's a first lifer so that's probably 381 base, shouldnt take much gear to get it to a respectable number.

    besides we dont know if he's a more casual player or into more hardcore ventures, 381's fine for shroud and easy epics.


    Translation above.

    clearly you need to play MORE ddo if you didnt catch the fairly obvious ddo-esque rhetoric in my original post :P

    Saw a reckless driver on the road a while back and actually thought 'gee, they zerged that intersection'.

    True story.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    WhoA. Weird but playing a monk has caused me to be a more introspective person IRL. Oo. Crazy stuff our minds do when they wander to the cooler imaginations.

    I answered to a Colleague at work: "Don´t worry, it is WAI" (I am in Germany so it was: "Mach Dir keine Sorgen, es ist WAI"). He didn´t understand the second part, but he didn´t care, as in our office it is very common to mumble, to give no information, or cryptic curses.

    Nothing beats my Everquest days during one summer in high school. No job, so I just EQ'd, slept, ate, and EQ'd more. Note that I played a wizard, so I teleported around a lot.

    After a ridiculous 4 day stretch of this, I was hungry around...some time when the sun was up, and thought to myself "where's the closest teleport spot to that pizza place?" Took me like a minute to realize something was wrong there.

    Also during the schoolyear, I played Legend of Dragoon enough that I started seeing little blue squares closing in on my cereal while eating breakfast. Drove to school, started chatting with friends before class, then woke up enough to realize the blue square thing wasn't normal.

    What can I say? When I play, I play hard.

    Aye, I often wonder whether catholic priests in Ireland are necromantic palemasters, after all, they worship a 2000 year old zombie, and their sermons seem to turn the people in their church into moaning zombies. (Just watch a priest in Ireland giving a mass, and listen to the low moaning responses that the people attending give when prompted, it's actually quite scary, and return of the living dead-esque: Braaaaiiiinnss. )

    Sorry if that offends anyone.

    If:

    You say, "Afk bio" to your co-workers when you take a bathroom break.

    You are watching a movie counting the critical hits, or shout, "crit" when the bad guy gets nailed at the end (this usually happens just as the good guy has been beaten to a pulp and is about to be dispatched).

    You imagine floaty numbers over the heads of the MMA/UFC fighters.
    We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.

    Yea, as said above, 381 is probably base.

    You gota add in a GFL exhaust, +6 con rims and the 10hp bonus for quick delivery.

    Having the initial thought does not mean you're addicted to DDO.

    Coming here and posting about it does.

    Once upon a time, I was part of a team, and we saved some children. That was long ago and far away, and, yes, I am that old.

    You're not addicted, just thinking differently. I refer to the spiders in our house as "Insect Crowd Control".....

    I can quit anytime I want.
