Tell The DDO Community Team #15

[Sertrynus]

Question 1
What is your least favorite DDO creature, and why?

Bugged Wraiths, with all the constant phasing in and out you can't kill em

Question 2
What are two things that would make you sad if they were ever changed? The Orthon Dance, and the House D weapon vendors (i know a few guildies would have no where to go in between quests )

Question 3
Do you enjoy reading the storyline of the quests? If so, what is your favorite quest story?

Yes I do, the VON series was great and started the Mantra "Must speak to Merak", usually said while the player rocks back and forth....

This week's question(s) are:

Question 1
Other than custom made equip-able treasure items (weapons, armor/robes, shields, accessories) what other things would you like to produce through crafting?

Not sure how you'd do this but maybe Inventory space.......

Question 2
What is one in-game "myth" that you find you frequently have to dispell? (example: Some players believe that their haggle skill affects the quality of the treasure they will receive in chests. This is incorrect)

Most myths have already been "dispelled"

Question 3
What is your favorite class (or class combination for you multi-classers) and why?

Paladin, this is a hangover from playing PnP where my Pally using a Holy Avenger (very generous DM) seriously ROCKED!!!!

Question 4
Pick one word...any word... but only one.

Question 1
What is your least favorite DDO creature, and why?

Probably muck, especially when mixed with other creatures. In fact, muck on it's own is probably ok but it gets PAINFUL when it's mixed with other stuff. Rust monsters are in a very close second place.

Question 2
What are two things that would make you sad if they were ever changed?

XP from real quests rather than grinding.
Real time combat system (i.e. having to aim!)

Question 3
Do you enjoy reading the storyline of the quests? If so, what is your favorite quest story?

Yes. Maybe Catacombs or the Litany of the Dead series.

This week's question(s) are:

Question 1
Other than custom made equip-able treasure items (weapons, armor/robes, shields, accessories) what other things would you like to produce through crafting?

Add more enhancements for existing weapons

Question 2
What is one in-game "myth" that you find you frequently have to dispell? (example: Some players believe that their haggle skill affects the quality of the treasure they will receive in chests. This is incorrect)

Myths I have to keep dispelling
- Icestorm wands on the Pit Fiend make his stop fixing delayed blast fireballs. This is incorrect - it just stops the animation and makes them harder to see
- Ray of enfeeblement on portals - yes it does lower their DEX enough to make you crit, but they have 100% fort so your base criti doesn't increase, and they are immune to elemental so the only things that will benefit from ray of enfeeblement will be maiming and good burst (raid item)
- Blur/displacement/ring of shadows and all other 'blur-like' effects DO NOT STACK!
- Portals in the shroud and when they close. Only the first portal closes! The others stay open as long as you like - you could go afk in part 1 and loot all the way through to part 4 (except if someone kills everyone by clicking on the portal before part 5).
- Permanent damage and binding. You do not need to bind raid loot because it's already bound! Raid loot never takes damage. Death never causes permanent damage! Argh!!!

Stuff I have to explain over and over to people
- Seeker, especially bloodstone and seeker two handed weapons
- DR of monsters, espeically Pit Fiends
- Crafting
- Potency and Devotion and Lore and other items like that

Myths I love to spread myself
- The ring of lies improves quest end reward loot!

Question 3
What is your favorite class (or class combination for you multi-classers) and why?

I play two clerics so I should say that. But I do like mixing rangers into a class - that's good fun.

Question 4
Pick one word...any word... but only one.

Raid

Question 1What is your least favorite DDO creature, and why?

All Casters, due to their ability to cast spells unendingly without ever drinking a mana potion or visiting a shrine. Either allow mana potions to be purchases in-game to compensate or give mobs a mana pool to limit the amount of spells they can cast (and thus make evasion and spell resistance much more worthy of the levels or enhancement lines).

Question 2
What are two things that would make you sad if they were ever changed?

The Cube and Female Halfing Dances.

Question 3
Do you enjoy reading the storyline of the quests? If so, what is your favorite quest story?

Yes. I liked the Dragonmark quest, actually. We should be able to restart that quest so we can visit the question area again and read Eberron Lore in there -- it has some of the neatest music in the game.

This week's question(s) are:

Question 1
Other than custom made equip-able treasure items (weapons, armor/robes, shields, accessories) what other things would you like to produce through crafting?

Wands (at caster level!). Scrolls (at caster level!). Potions (at caster level!). Guild Hall Trophies (requiring lots of special items to form 1 trophy, ie elite drops in elite raids, etc). I point to Turbine's past credo such as the Arcane Pedestal in Asheron's Call as an example of a trophy that many would enjoy (something similar in the shroud, eh?) Maybe it could even create an effect in the guild hall to restore mana as per Ghallandra Dissilate to whomever is within the guild hall area (Guilded Advantages 101).

Question 2
What is one in-game "myth" that you find you frequently have to dispell? (example: Some players believe that their haggle skill affects the quality of the treasure they will receive in chests. This is incorrect)

All the crazy methods on pulling muckbanes in Durk's Got a Secret. Also, that Stealthy Repossession is a hard quest.

Question 3
What is your favorite class (or class combination for you multi-classers) and why?

Fighter-Rogue Mobility Bluff Fighter! Because you can sneak attack all, bluff, sneak attack all, improved feint, whirlwind and jump out of the circle of death and back through the doorway behind the shield-bearing dwarf!
