I'm not surprised you like this Strake.  I recall you being very anti-grind.  From what I can tell, there is very little grind in this thing at this point.  That may all change, but with the foundry, the ability to have novel content is pretty open-ended.

While I can see that you can play this game easily without spending money, I feel like I am going to get the founders pack, or whatever, so I can have more character slots. I see myself playing this game for awhile. I am not sure two character slots is going to cut it. Either that, or I just make another account.

I'm holding off on dropping cash until live, but will def drop money on the game.  The main F2P thing I dont like is the $6 cash for respects, when stuff is really poorly described about feats, effect, stuff not working ect.  That being said, I'm hoping they are like alot of F2P games that do this, and hand free tokens out like candy when they nerf/buff stuff in classes.

I've got a cleric and wiz so far, and will have one of each class soon I'm sure.  I cant see any reason to spending cash on more character slots, when I can just start a new account.  Nothing I have run into is BTA.

Also: TIL, people still play DDO and want to have discussions about it.  Really? Give it up guys

I thought it might be to long. If I could make and acronym that works maybe.

Do you remember which Foundry quest it was? I've seen a few great ones, a few were OK, and a couple of duds so far. MY RL friends and I ran Keep on the Borderlands for old-times sake. It was cool for the nostalgia value, but not that interesting otherwise.

As for awesomeness, I was in a group the other day where we had to fight what seemed like a thousand mobs at once, half of them were very tough, nearly wiped a few times, and still pulled out the win. It was one of the most epic battles I've ever played in a videogame.

The best way Ive seen to make foundry quests is get 3-4 people together to share a building account.  Then you can go much more indepth with both the building and testing of it.

Anti-grind plus combat where player skill matters. DDO used to have both, they completely dropped one and tamped down on #2 too much.

NW section will likely go up tonight, I'll move all thread there so feel free to start more. Renaming of the site will depend on activity.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what foundry quest it was, as someone else picked it. It was so good that I tipped the guy despite having no money.

I just lol'd at work and dropped my phone. Oops.

Yeah. The gameplay does feel considerably more confined. It makes me sad, though it's quite a bit of fun nonetheless

The third at will you get, grants temp HP on attack.  lots of the healing is, beat the crap out of someone, and you heal others.  As far as a caster cleric its alot more fun.  I agree, I want a mace and board cleric soon.

The cleric is the only class in the game that can move and DPS/Heal with their tab function, which is really key sometimes/

In honor of the proposed new NW Section, I just ordered the Founder kit. I'll stay off of Mindflayer. You're safe.

That changed in the mid 30s for me.
