Hey Khyber

[Attropos]

Back for the time being, maybe some of you have seen me gimping around on Rastelin. When I logged in, I noticed all of the channels I belonged to were dead, and the LFMs aren't really there. I'm fine soloing but that defeats some of the purpose of DDO in my opinion. Is Khyber just very slow these days, or are most groups formed in channel?

If anyone wants me to pike their group, I'll be on Inquisiteur or Rastelin. Shoot me a tell or a message! Hope to see you guys around

EDIT: Also, apparently WF FVS are not a thing anymore. Any idea what I should TR a fully equipped (redscale, esos, eclaw, etc. etc.) favored soul into?

Most good LFMs on Khyber fill quickly, and the groups stay together fairly well.
Khyber remains the PUG capital of DDO.

I TR so often all my channel are long forgotten (sorry guys just cannot keep up), so I look for anything interesting and if I don't see it I put up one of my own.

I see no reason why a Warforged FVS in Divine Crusader cannot maintain a respectable presence with a good player behind the keyboard.
However, lately when in doubt, try Bard, Paladin, Ranger, or even Barbarian if you are looking for melee type self healing toon?

I don't know if it's just me being biased, but I very much like the PuGs of Khyber compared to other server PuGs. Quality of people, diversity of LFMs and amount of viable LFMs (ok, I don't really consider public LFMs in slayer areas or normal public LFMs or favor run LFMs to count towards LFM amount). And population healthily devided between heroic and epic.

The time however can be a problem. Early US times the LFM panel is very much dead even though there are players online. I guess players logging at those times are not the Pugging type. Also, I saw an EE deathwyrm yesterday in sarlona I think and was jelly because Khyber has had EN runs of MoD, DoJ daily and possibly an EH Deathwyrm or Fire Peaks. Never seen an EE LFM for those 4 raids that actually went through (there have been some tries, but not enough people). Funny how leaders go from EE CitW and EE FoT to normal DoJ while doing a raid night

True, Khyber does have more activity during peak USA times, however I have in the past put up lfm at other times and filled up. I guess people see an lfm they are confident about and swap toons.


The somewhat lack of EE raid runs may be due in part to PUGS like high percentage odds of completions, part and parcel to the philosophy of quality completions. Its such a waste of time to fail any raid/quest.


I personally avoid running low percentage raids during raid trains and the like as the train tends to break up and I'm looking for social fun in a raid train.

Like avoiding Bravery Bonus Elite in the Flesh when there are so many better xp/minute options available.

Yes the new Mithic items change that, but I personally am waiting for level 30 cap before feeling like I need a EE DoF run.
