A big apology from the greater majority of the DDO Community to those new players who want to learn things about how veterans play the game in the New Player Advice & Guidance forum but are then subjected to responses that are off-topic. The experiences you have in-game and on the Forums are related.
As far as this thread goes, just read the original post, as it describes in detail the differences between Current Hit Points and Maximum Hit Points, as well as some tips on how veteran players operate safely from the back line. I only post what I have done myself and with others, as you can see in all my posts on the Forums. Check out my characters, who are not Anonymous, and learn how most in the community like to play this game. Of course, also understand why the majority of the Community does not waste time on the Forums - see above.
I have found that the majority in the community play to RPG strategies (as DDO is a RPG), which is why you and I came to this game in the first place. The whole "no roles" crowd is a super-small minority in this community. You have probably already seen players who don't understand better play strategies, and you can see how they operate in-game and on the Forums.
Play with and learn from better players, especially those who read and comprehend the material that they are supposed to be thinking about, and make sure you stear clear of the bad hearts. After all, D&D games are much better when you actually read and comprehend stuff, as you already know.
From what I have read, the only people to have responded to the original post properly, stayed on topic, and understood the points were FireLord1230 and StefferWeffer. Check out more of what they have written, as they represent some of the good guys in this community. The other stuff amounts to what you can see with your own eyes: the stuff that brought you to the New Player Advice & Guidance forum in the first place.
I'll apologize in advance for those so sensitive they have to report my post: I'm not going to be polite, I'm not going to sugar coat.
Snootch, your above post is where you show your true colours. You presume to tell your intended audience, the new player, that he and you are alike, of one mind, in this together. You presume to tell him that the majority of forum posters are to be avoided, you list of reasons based on more faulty logic and falsehood. In fact, I don't believe that the New Player really IS your intended audience at all. I believe that you post this so-called advice with full prior knowledge that it is flawed, in the hopes of inflaming the community that has already ostricized you. Your intention is to bait, not to inform. Your writing style confirms this.
IF in the unlikely event that a New Player is actually reading this, do us ALL a favor. Believe NONE of us. Go play the game and decide for yourself.
@Mods: You may decide that this post requires cubing and I won't hold it against you. But before you release the cube, I ask that you really look hard at Snootch's posting history. If you are honest with yourselves, you will see where the problem really lies.
