My experience (up to level 10, on a few different characters), so far, is roughly the same. Generally, when there's a challenge, it's usually caused by high damage or crowd control more so than hit...

I do not believe this is an helpful definition of power creep.

Player power does not exist in a vacuum. It exists in opposition to monster power. There's that power creep has dramatically...

Luck matters for new players what they wear is largely luck-dependent: what they can obtain from chests, on the AH, and from brokers. A particularly lucky new player may be fairly well geared - since...

It does.

Agreed on the first part, less on the second.

It's a viable idea to make failures vary in intensity, resulting in longer or shorter duration (which may also scale with caster level). It may be...

The perception which you seem to have, about us being terrible at making argument, likely comes from the fact that you're terrible at understanding our arguments. Let me be clear: No one is arguing...

Since apparently I like you too much and need to spread the love around, I'll comment to show my agreement. It's been a longstanding complaint, with Angelus_dead and I hammering the point years back...

As you've pointed out, there are heroic named loot that is better than random loot but, and this is key, this isn't true of most heroic named loot.

Cloven Jaw War Beads or Bloodletter's Knife are...

As far as I'm aware, the problems with melee in Reaper are two fold.

First, there's little defensive counterplay for melee players. When a bad roll can result in the death of a player with...

As a returning player, I can't help but strongly disagree. With the random loot overhaul, they have massively improved the likelihood of acquiring a good item through random loot. Now, not everything...

That is true for epic content, but isn't true for heroic which was the focus of my comment.

That's the problem right here. The solution available to player down on their luck is to hope to get lucky. When named loot was relevant, might have been able to run a certain quest to solve an...

The best should, of course, be harder to acquire but there's an argument to be made for a smaller standard derivation and a higher average. Named items, and especially end reward named items which...

That's a massive understatement. On my raid loot geared characters, from back when level 16 was cap, I am vastly outclassed in gear by everyone I've encountered. My fighter, a dwarf heavily specced...

Named items at lower levels are vastly outdated. Once upon a time, you were relatively happy to pull a +1 weapon and +1 weapons of 1d6 elemental damage were OP twink gear. Now, most of the low levels...

Currently listed as a known issue:

Nostalgia.

DDO was my outlet for me in my darkest days, and the source of many lasting friendship and formative experiences. The game's fun and unique but, right now, most of the fun has been to...

That's an old recommendation but a worthy one. Raids below level cap are wasted content, broadly speaking.

By design, they are meant for end game. Otherwise, it makes little sense to have daily...

For any Standing Stone Gaming employee reading:


The above player used to play on the new defunct Codemaster servers. He's read that a character transfer was offered, previously, and was...

That was a very Angelus_dead type of reply. I mean that as a compliment.

Isn't that what that forum is all about?



I think that's an unfair benchmark for criticism.

I'll compare to the longstanding complaint that ranged was completely useless which, for a...

And that's by going to level 4 in those destinies, correct?

So it doesn't matter whether I choose Shadowdancer or Grandmaster of Flowers, both options will unlock the ability to pick Sentinel? I thought only Grandmaster of Flowers would unlock Sentinel.

Alright. Let me see if I get this right.

I have a fighter who is approaching level 20, on his first life. Once I get there, I can pick Legendary Dreadnought, max it; pick Shadowdancer and mix it ;...

For those who complain that it "makes no sense for RXP to be account-wide," this is the reason that it is being proposed:





Part of the joy from DDO is getting to play different characters...
