Tell Tolero #5

[Missing_Minds]

?1: I've capped every class accept for cleric, paladin, and ranger. I play about all of my characters equally, don't really have a favorite. I will say I like to play my characters the way I intended to. Example: I hate tanking on my bard, but I still do because somehow I made it good enough to get in the thick of it. (not something you can really do anything about. )

?2: I've participated in just about all sponcered live events. I wish you could have live events such as a special quest that did not require man power to constantly hand hold. Live events on DDO just seem to be very lacking compared to so many other MMO events. I do not understand the setup with which you are forced to work in, so I am unable to really offer any reasonable ideas within means with which you could accomplish them.

?3: How beautiful it is, and how you must be willing to actually think (aka use tatics) other wise you will die. This is not a game with a "win" button by any means. The tatics needed in any other MMO I've seen (which isn't many mind you) are pud compared to this game. I like the fact I'm forced to think, then rethink what I need to do in order to help the group beat a quest. It keeps my brain active.

I bemoan and (#@#! about the fact we have no way to change how our characters look, that bards can not change their tunes, and voice chat control is not as tuneable as I'd like.

Odd question... I move between several chars on a regular basis, the max of which is currently 14.


Question 2
Have you ever participated in any DDO Live Events?

Yup. I have the pirates bandana from Speak Like a Pirate Day. I also hung out and was bored to death by a couple other events. I have to say though that the events have been a bit disappointing in that since the first event they either they are instanced and only 1/25 groups has a chance at anything or they are public fights of some kind and then unless you are on a melee you can only watch. I now basically ignore all events because of this.

Why does it seem odd to you?

[Ustice]

1) 14, a cleric that I have had since the beginning of the game.
2) Yes. The more the better!
3) The GREAT team-based play centered around real-time combat.

My level 14 sorc!

Question 2
Have you ever participated in any DDO Live Events?
Nope always planned on making it to one, however at the last moment something always comes up.

Question 3
When talking with friends/acquaintances about DDO, what's the first thing you mention to them?
I tell them it is better then WoW. They say they are sticking to WoW, I mentioned the better graphics, spells, systems, instanced quests that reduce lack, easy parting system, the constant updates.

[Mad_Bombardier]

1) 14 Cleric.
2) None of the Turbine events, a few player events.
3) Real-time combat. (Which is why targetting/facing errors & misfires with spells/ranged weapons bother me so much. IMHO, the combat system is DDO's claim to fame and needs to be as perfect as possible.)

Yes

Question 3

It depends on who I'm talking to. If I'm talking to friends who like DnD, I say, "Dude, you've got to check out DDO, it's awesome." Then I explain that there are some differences between DDO and PnP. If I'm talking to anyone else (such as my wife or the rest of my extended family), I say, "I'm not that much of a geek! Okay, so I am!"

[Deragoth]

1. Level 14
2. No, only because I wasn't on at the time.
3. The Combat System. Hands down, this is where DDO shines above all other MMOs.
