I for one check every couple of months.

Has there been a server merge? No? OK, still not interested in playing. SSG doesn't get a cent.

The community is dead outside American peak hours. There...

This is one of many reasons that these scum should have been permanently banned (with a server announcement made each time, albeit one that didn't use the characters' names).

Some might have...

I don't think there's any drawback to having one or two 'meme' items in the game now - it's not like the tone of the game is uniformly serious.

It is time based but IIRC the XP panel doesn't update until an objective completes.

Here's how it works (as this isn't well documented):

If you enter within 10 min of the quest opening - no penalty ever (even if you enter in the last second).

If you enter after 10 min:

- If...

This is just saying you do not understand the late entry penalty.

The absolute best XP in the game comes from entering quests in the last couple minutes, and getting the completion with the 80%.

One quest I do miss is Stormcleave Outpost.

It used to be *the* XP farm in its level range (in the days of the 14 cap). Now it's a mediocre once-and-done.

If you are unprepared for a difficulty level, run a lower one.

I corrected an error in another post, but here;s the answer to your actual question.

Resist Energy is a very effective buff at reducing the damage you take over a long timeframe. 15SP might...

This isn't correct. Resist and protection do not ever stack, they are the same type of bonus.

Here, you suffer 160 raw damage.

Your best resist effect (Protection - 120) applies. 40 modified...

Just on the timing of the tome changes and the mana potion changes. I remember this one well.

Mana Potions

Mana potions were changed at or near the time of the Great Ghostbaning of loot.

Not as active as I used to be in game but Lynnabel has earned my respect over the time she's been working on DDO more than any other SSG staff member since Genasi (well that was in the Turbine days)....

Good luck with it.

Gave Reaper 1 (heroic) Shroud a red-hot go a couple weeks back, failed in part 4 with Harry around 35% when we first tried with 3 players (4 characters, someone was dualboxing),...

My suggestion. Note that these are deceptively powerful at level, but do not remain good for long.

Enhanced Crafting Minimum Level 10 Shard
Min level 10
Power Level: 12

Tangleroot has two glaring issues for Reaper - it would give far, far too much reaper XP for one, but even more of an issue is the way mobs in it spawn. AFAICT, entering on Reaper would activate...

The game developers introduced a difficulty setting designed specifically for you, Casual.

Give it a try, and stop trying to ruin quests designed for other player types.

If you stop complaining...

Personally I'm strongly in favor of keeping fortification overly common.

It's one of the most powerful and essential mods on gear.

Random lootgen is for new players anyway, veterans (who have...

If you have a solid group together that runs reaper lives, make sure to give Reaper 1 Shroud a shot with a 16-19 level range.

I made two attempts with small groups (4 characters across 3 players...

I too remember those days.

Or the epic, epic first run of Ghosts of Perdition elite that took seven complete wipes and reentries.

Or the first time I soloed Epic Spinner of Shadows at the 20...

Epic past lives, gear stat inflation, and the much more powerful enhancements post Shadowfell are all factors.

I know I'm doing more damage at level 15 on a fighter life now than I ever did at the...

If player A wants to run Reaper 4, and player B wants to run Normal, these two players are not ever going to have fun in a group together.

If we force them to meet in the middle and run Reaper 1...

Litany of the Dead is level 15 and was designed when a good survival-oriented ring was a Con 6 ring with no other effects.

Curse the Sky is also level 15, but comes at a time when a...

This would be working as intended.

Level 20 characters are not able to enter Reaper mode on heroic dungeons. By summoning a level 20 (i.e. epic) hireling, you thus brick the dungeon.

/signed, Khyber is basically dead unless you are playing at American evenings. Even then it's sickly on weekdays.

Have lost one name to a server merge in the past (the main is Numot-Khyber after...

The motivation for the change is to ensure that the difficulties designed to be non-trivial are, in fact, non-trivial.

If you want the experience of trivializing content, Elite and Reaper are not...
