New D&D MMO and it's impact in DDO

[Binn05]

So as we know that a little competition can boost quality in the ones involved, how do you think this ---> http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11...mmo-retooling/ will impact DDO quality?

I think it will have a large temp effect but I think people will not stay with it I think the samething about SWTOR

problem with the new dnd mmo is

1. its 4e
2. cryptic
3. atari
4. its 4e

it's Forgotten Realms! Many of us could care less about Eberon.

I wouldn't worry about it until it's released to be honest, so much can change. Competition is a good thing.

Frankly, since coming to DDO, Eberron has grown on me. Maybe even to the point of going beyond FR. The whole arcanepunk environment is pretty darn awesome.

Some of it has grown on me, but it's too sci-fi for my tastes.

Yes, ever since Artificers I just haven't felt the same. I don't care one bit about the new quests, tried one on a guest pass and got killed. The room had floating globes that shot lasers, and stormtrooper looking things that held crossbows (guess they weren't stormtroopers, seeing as they hit me just fine).

I *like* things like Eye of the Titan, but prefer 'not even gunpowder' campaigns.

Heck too many people grew up on Forgotten Realms. There's Pool of Radiance and all those games from the 80s (SSI's Gold Box series), Baldurs Gate, RA Salvatore novels...

Eberron is just too scifi of a world to many of us old school gamers. want scifi, play start wars. D&D is and should be a totally different genre.

The wave of the future is 4.0 and beyond. I knew it was over as soon as Wizards started making the moves they made when they bought out TSR..

I think you meant when Hasbro bought out Wizards. Wizards was owned and operated by people who loved D&D and wanted to continue D&D into the future, they bought TSR because they made a lot of money off of Magic the Gathering and wanted to invest in D&D's future.

Oh man, I loved Pool of Radiance! That was some fun stuff.

I agree. the steampunk is not so over the top that magic will go by the wayside, and this reminds me of the campaigns we played (oh so many years ago). Magic still ruled the day.

[NaturalMystik]

I'll second that! When I think of D&D I don't think of Eberron, or at least DDO's interpretation of it. Something just seems off, not sure if it's the graphic style, the steampunk influences or something else. Based on past D&D games I'll take a forgotten realms any day over an eberron...

I'm not enthusiastic about Eberron, but Forgotten Realms is supposed to be better?

And, like they said, it's 4E. That's a complete deal-breaker for me. I'd take up WoW first. Or, more likely, go back to playing single-player strategy games.

4e is the worst thing to happen to dnd except for dave and gary passing. its what made me decide to never play pnp dnd again almost made me quit this game.

[Failedlegend]

4e is the worst thing to happen to DnD

Why?

- Most classes are useful at all levels

- Players havbe to actually work together to succeed

- The Rules aren't a Jumbled Mess

- The SRPG/Chess Board Style keeps things alot more organized

- There's no characacter sheets that look like this 1/2/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/3/1/1 for their class list (This is something I LOVE about DDO...limited to 3 classes and prestiges as a specialization instead of a different class...similar to what I did with my 3.5 games before 4e came out)

- There's NO removal of roleplaying thats reliant of the players/DM regardless of edition



Now the addition of D&D: The Gathering TCG is dumb (forget what their actually called) and has been forbidden from my games btu other than that I don't see where the complaints come from.


Now If anyone responds to this I want actual reasons not a picture of some kids show with the caption 4e under it.

Note: I'm not saying 3.5 is a bad edition I just prefer 4e and I don't see where the hate for it comes from
