Compared to 4E, DDO is a relatively faithful translation of D&D. It's a matter of perspective.

(As a preemptive defense, I see this as a translation of the 3.5 rules to an MMO format. As such, I expect nothing more than the names of the classes and races to remain the same. Anything else is likely to be completely different.)


By that standard it's the same as 4th edition. Aside from very superficial similarities, everything is different. So I don't judge DDO by D&D standards, as that means it objectively fails out of the gate. Instead I judge it as a CRPG grind game in a 3rd person shooter engine. And that was alright for a while.

When people bring in their personal lives, it is all fair game.  This board promotes trolling.  If you bring something up, expect it to be used against you at a later date if not immediately.  You want to bring up personal shit, well, that is your problem.

If one fails to understand the nuances of elite level trolling they would falsely interpret posts meant to fan the flames as support.

Well yeah, the classes/feats/abilities are *based* on 3.5, loosely Cheesy So it definitely has d&d 'flavor', whatever that means (although a lot of people seem to think d&d flavor = forgotten realms flavor and hate the poor WF  Embarrassed).

Fires exist so people like that can die in them. True story.

I don't expect it to be just like PnP, but I also didn't expect something like Ice Games (Mario Bros collecting coins).


Well yeah, Turbine has this knack for creating a context, but then randomly slotting things in the game that are in a completely different context. Sometimes it's different and fun (at least for the first 500 times), like the Cove, and sometimes it's just... different, like the ice games.

I'm roleplaying a homicidal pyromaniac and I endorse your opinions.

No no no. Wishing death on people is bad remember? You are supposed to wish that they live forever in a fire.
