At first I didn't want to get opinionated here. But as I thought about it I felt a need to express the counterpoints.
The base game and the available Free Content make it possible to unlock nearly everything else over time. The Expansions appear in parts at the DDO Store over time.
The power creep and balancing issues here are far less frustrating than in other games. You don't have to participate in the crafting systems to get awesome gear.
Everyone is expected to take responsability for their own entertainment. You want groups that don't do Reaper, recruit them. There's plenty of players out there at the high point of server traffic, daily and weekly.
Past Lives are simply the way to prevent paying for more character slots while experienceing every build you could want to try. The road form 1-20 can go by in a flash if you learn how, or go as slow as you like. After the 2nd past life you get the lovely perk of opening everything on Elite like a Subscription player.
i wanna touch on a lot of this since i couldn't stop laughing at it. the battle system imo is better then other mmos but again that is mine.
+crafting you don't have to do for one. The regular cannith crafting is all you really would need. sure there are a few raid ones such as shroud/legendary shroud or even thunderhome. Again welcome to games where there is always new systems. this is nothing new. all items get outdated at some point or another.
+as for the graphic requirements yeah its stated and clearly you have either a crappy computer or connection. if you had a good computer you would hardly have issues. my computer is ok and i get decent graphics. I dont get lag that often either.
+ reaper mode was meant to challenge you not be a cakewalk. Its meant for grouping. if someone heals you no penalty. not a hard concept. What also do you not understand about Reaper trees? its meant to only work in reaper not anywhere else.
+packs do go on sale. its called patience.
+clearly you're new because there is quite a few dungeons with various enemies.
+dungeons do they need to hold your hand while you explore? for someone who has played for years haven't you learned you can use tab or other functions to look for those levers. you act like the dungeons are impossible to learn. they're not.
ok i can't do anymore. all i see is whine whine whine. about mobs, dungeons, items, reaper blah blah. i can tell you're one of those players who expect to be held through everything earn everything and be given all the stuff on a silver platter. that is all you complained about. I am glad ddo doesn't cater to you. you should always earn stuff. what is the point if you didn't learn anything.
when i enter a new dungeon i like to learn it. the stuff i can't do like traps or locked doors or chests. I find out next time or wiki it to see what is there.

lol all mmos have that. hell life is a hamster wheel. congrats on nothing so far :)
free players cannot open elite dungeons/ you would need to run them 3 x just to start decent point farming(or group elite 1st life,w a new toon,ouch)
It would take an absurd amount of time to earn points for that > like 20,000 ddo points!
...even on sale the pay content is well over $300- $400? I didnt add it up.
I did go free to play from vip,2 years ago..and had about 60% of the content,races and such included...cost me about 150-200$ buying points on sale and using them only on sale days.
Hamster wheels are important in games because again if there was none games would be dead. No one would stick around if there was nothing to earn for.
i was running with trs and we had a new player join us and they went and helped him get a voice of the master from deleras. (they already had ran it but went to do it just for him) most of the time we were running Reaper 1-2. sure the person died as well as others. Yet they're still playing and i'm still helping them from time to time when i see them.
sure ,it is a intricate mmo, it surely has some pluses or it would of died already/though it is close
didn't any of you notice? ..how silly it is to be able to swap any piece of equipment , while fighting! This is a major cause of lag, as players in a tough spot ,like a ee raid, will swap all sorts of items,each causing a small lag and multiplied at a crucial time.
So yea, players carry 8 trinkets ... 12 rings ... 6 necklaces ... 5 cloaks .lol all on hotbars, with 15 different scrolls too!
and that is for 1 set... you have lvl tiered gear ..so you need a set for your new life ready at lvl 4 , 8 ,12 ,16 ,20, 22 , 24 ,26 ,28 ,30
..yea ..players have sets of gear for this many different lvls..maybe 1-2 less that i listed.
Gear is a total mess in DDO ... many players need half a dozen characters to bankall their cr^p
I mean, sure I have a mule character and full storage... but I also have thousands of ALL the gems in the game kept, plus a large collection of various sizes of captured soul stones. That's all on me, not the game.
I agree on swapping armour.. not because lag, but because it's an asinine concept. What should be implemented there is YES you can swap armour and such, but it takes time to put it on....oh wait, it is. Except for robes/outfits. Should put one for them too...and a nice flatfoot dex penalty while you're stuck trying to shimie in/out of them.
Swapping rings, necklaces? Shouldn't take any time at all. Unless you suffer severe parkinsons and are trying undersized ring... I should time it... think 30 seconds is a slow time to change earrings, necklace and rings. Now FINDING the right ones..that can take a while =P Force players to find them in their inventory, no hotkey swaps. [Flashback to final fight in NWN, trying to find which chest inside which bag inside where in inventory, had the flask I wanted...fun times.]
Title of your thread is either total hyperbole, or you really haven't experienced some of the dreck that's been made. Is literally thousands of games that are far far worse. And they just keep coming...
Though that would probably not change even if you had something decent, some people just come here to complain about anything.
If you don't like the game, don't play it. Just don't whinge about it, maybe if you put effort into your toons, then you would have the gear and past lives. And stop acting like a 2 year old chucking you toys out of the pram and throwing a tantrum.
I dub the Troll. You have nothing constructive to discuss. Your assertions are designed to incite and anger, not illustrate a realpoint. You contradict yourself. You say You Cannot Unlock Everything, then say It would take an absurd amount of time. Which is it, impossible or just Time Consuming?
Just because you can buy and unlock everything doesn't mean you should or would want to. Theres several guides to efficient F2P experiences. I was Beta, a Founder. I have played off and on for all of DDOs years. Your position is shaky at best. Your point's hollow and without merit.
Your opinion however is valid in so far as an opinion goes. Those of us who continue to be entertained will not be swayed by it. Future players will not be swayed by it.
I evaluate you as an A+ in passing a lesson in futility.
A major cause of Lag? Equipment swapping? I've been in Technical Support for high end networking for a long time. You are so wrong I can not begin to explain how wrong you are.
Equipment set swaps at break point levels happen as a normal matter of play. Its more or less intended. The break points differ slightly from class to class but in general theres just 4 or 5 level points. Theres whatever gets you by below level 7. The set between 7 and 11, then 11 to 14, then 14-16/18, then the post 16 to 20, then the High Epics as a whole new ballgame.
Using old toons to bank materials has been a MMO standard from the earliest days. From EQ and earlier. It is a standard operating proceedure that annoyes everyone to some level. Its like complaining about Farts.
I have no arguement that the power creep and currant state of Random Loot being Over Powered, is a problem. But not as bad as other games.
You want to experience a truly awful and horridly developed MMO? Try Star Trek Online.
Even if true, who's twising your arm to craft? Just sell or toss your ings if you're not interested in crafting. OTOH, for those who are interested, there's whole other level of stuff to work toward and to keep them interested in the game.
I'm sorry, are you seriously contending that your PC won't even play a game as old as DDO? And you think that's going to be a common issue?
So the prices should go down year over year until it becomes impossible to make a profit and the game shuts down? Who does that help? And the price for a pack (not on sale) runs maybe $2 to $10 (or less if you got a DDO point double or triple bonus). Not exactly overwhelming.
I'm not in a position to check on this atm, but I'm pretty sure the only way you're paying 2000 DDO points for XP potions is if you're buying them in bulk.
Success for the incompetent, maybe. Admittedly, with power creep there's been a tendency for powerful toons to simply be able to zerg content without tactics, but that is only one path to success. And reaper (particularly at high skull levels) puts an end to that pretty quickly.
You've had terrible DMs.
Reaper mode is very much alive and well. The point to Reaper mode is twofold: a challenge unlike anything else in DDO, and specific mechanics that reward cooperative play again (specifically the nerf of self-heal that means the higher the skull level the more you have to work together). Not even sure how to respond to the 'bad builds are worse in [Reaper]' comment. Except to say, Of COURSE they are. Don't play Reaper mode if you're a newb. That's not who it's for.
Pretty sure the Player's Council is open to new players. More to the point, who else should the game cater to? The veteran players have been supporting the game for years and if not alienated, will continue to do so. New players come and go.. as for the alienating them, everything I see demonstrates much less of that than there used to be. I encounter far fewer trolls in general chat than there used to be, and the helpful spirit that has always existed still does. Actually, lately I've been seeing a lot more high-level players without wings around their names than I have in ages, which suggests retention is up.
And now we come to the crux of the matter. Yes, DDO is old. It's old because it got some things right enough that people have stuck with it for YEARS. And it continues ticking along because occasional new players discover the same thing.
And that in itself rather disproves your "DDO is the worst D&D game ever made" contention.
-Nobody is forcing you to craft anything, I personally stick to loot that I get in chests, and occasionally check the auction house.
-Its hard to imagine you would have problems with lag on a game so old, like wouldn't graphics be much better now? You can access your options from the main menu, or by pressing "Esc"
-I can't really argue with the paywall, but if you're willing to pay for vip, why do you STILL need items from the online store? (You get free XP from each daily roll anyways)
-I don't see how having a past life changes too much. Also if you want to make a glorious Sword 'N Board fighter, then you have the wrong idea, because D&D traditionally favores casters over martials at higher levels. If your tabletop game heavily favores martials, then either your DM is playing wrong, or your casters are new.
-I thought giving enemies class levels was a viable way of making encounters, what, you thought evil alignments were restricted to monsters only? Humans are NOT perfectly righteous, if they were, they would be called planetars.
-On the bright side, you don't have to make search checks to see those levers, and who said DDO was supposed to spoonfeed you quests (except for the tutorial quest). Whenever I use the wiki, I feel bad because I was so blind to where it actually was (I'm not ashamed to say that things like this happen in other games.)
-I'm new, and I feel perfectly fine.
-Mind citing a difference in resistances?
