Ddo is a bad game.







































No risk/reward, no thrills and no point to TR or farm gear, cos what you gonna do with those past lives and gear? run again all those quests you grinded to get them? lol

OK.  I'll bite.  Why is DDO a bad game?

Good God, HamsterDamaged, go back to NeverWinter or something...

The problems with DDO are many. 

TR'ing is not one of them.  The ability to replay the game with a slightly more powerful version and/or try out different builds for one character promotes longevity. 

Lack of content is a challenge.  But what game doesn't suffer from lack of content after a year or so of being released for the highly active player base?

No risk/reward/thrill is a legit problem.  They should do better job of widening the gap between N/H/E difficulty and make E more difficult in ways besides just upping the HP of the mobs.  There is some serious opportunity for improvement here.  Also, even though EE can be a challenge at times, there is rarely a benefit to running on EE, besides wanting to challenge yourself.  Widening the gaps between N/H/E to make E a real challenge (fail rates individually at 90%, Pugs at 75%, solid channel/guild groups at 50-60%) would be awesome, but then also make it worth the player's efforts.  Give significantly better drops, more mats, better access to top level tomes, maybe a very small chance (1% or less) to drop a 2 mill XP stone.

The last few updates have really sent DDO down the toilet. Unkillable Paladins really aren't that fun to play. All the bitching for buffs and Turbines apparent mindless following of those idiotic pleas have made most content a joke.

There are so many fucking retards on the motherboards giving the fuckwits at Turbine shit advise that the game is now boring.

If that were true, you would be playing a different game instead of bitching on the forums like a little girl.

You know, I was just thinking about all of the things that are wrong with this game; some of them are old, going back to the beginning, but some of them are new and are considered "features."

-PC/NPC balance: Old issue, somewhat inevitable in an online game, but certain aspects are just ridiculous, e.g. unlimited spell points, uninterruptible spellcasting, spells actually working differently for NPCs than they do for PCs....

-The ladder bug: Old issue, and the poor assholes at Turbine don't even know what it is!

-Dungeon Alert: New(ish) issue. To me, still the worst thing they ever did; it didn't fix lag, it didn't fix zerging, it just randomly decides to kill you.

-Events: All events should die. Period.

-The combat system: New issue. I was in the discussions on the official forums, I know, for a fact, that a properly scaling combat system was suggested, widely praised, and completely ignored by the Devs. Instead, we got this abomination that obviates the point, most of the time.

-Armor up: New issue, and evidence that no one at Turbine has a functioning brain. At some point, someone must have actually uttered the sentence, "I know, the combat system was such an incredible failure, let's extend it further!" and that person was, apparently, not immediately fired.


The really sad part is that, despite all of these problems, it is still better than anything else out there.

Enjoyable writing - reminds me of Douglas Adams. Just a couple points.

First, you're wrong about events. Some are inane, almost all I despise, but after ERing a billion times I'm kind of glad to CC and get xp, despite that it also drives me nuts. They just need better events - and could come up with them if you weren't correct about their cognitive powers.

Second, could you expand more on the paragraph above? Or a link. I'd love to hear it.

I like how you place opposites:

Yeah, good point about the availability. Well...if something like Cove was always up and running, no one would bother. It would quickly become tedious and boring.

I wish we could have open world events - like dragons attacking the harbor or something and actual NPCs getting eaten.

That's interesting. I can't understand why anyone who's good at numbers - presumably programmers are - couldn't work out in advance that the d20 system has a very limited useful range. It breaks down in D&D when characters reach the high teens. Of course it's going to fail in a Monty Haul powergamer's MMO. It's almost unimaginable that they didn't work out scaling systems from the beginning.
