haven't played in over a year. the expansion will make this the best arpg on the market and of all time.

the sheer size and scope of what they are going forward with makes other game updates seem amatuer

Can't wait! I got distracted by other games after my first playthrough.

Looking forward to rolling up a scion and giving this game another go.

ruh roh new game?

what do I need to know?

That's the tag line I use to describe it as well.

If you liked Diablo II, you will probably like this game.

If you didn't like Diablo II, you probably won't like this game.

It's really that simple.

It depends on the perspective you prefer.  It's a great game visually and from a character customization POV.

However, the isometric scrolling type view and the character control was *really* frustrating for me to deal with when I took a short break from DDO a while back and tried PoE.  Also, the loading screen on start up was painnnnnnfulllly slow for me.

TBH there is NOT one single game that has the character control, movement and combat like DDO...when it's working properly or we arn't getting fucked by non-dispelable slow fucking guards and anti-healing debuffs (is it punch a Dev in the throat day?)

i never thought i was p2w guy until i played PoE. it is( was when i played) impossible to circumvent any grind and as a result you depended on RNG or you buy items from the chinese for hundreds of dollars, which i found unacceptable. I was working a nice build whos name i cant remember and it used some fuckin rare axe i also cannot remember. i was never able to acquire the axe in game, and chnks wanted like 300 for it at the time. the inability to complete my build that depended on gear kinda just made me leave the game.

every now and then i log on cause someone i know starts playing and i walk around the town i saved in, look in my banks, and then log off- not unlike ddo. life is short and i really dont like games where goal completion depends on rng and nothing else. at least in ddo i know that xp is there waiting as long as i am willing to spend the time. PoE wouldnt give me the hot shit i wanted i was stuck a tier below and didnt wanna invest years collecting orbs- not to trade 327547263 for a axe, nor to craft onto items 423874983 times and still get 4 links on 6 slot armors

PoE was sick but i left for the reasons above and doubt id ever attempt to relearn it

if u havent played it you should try it

So you folks who play, what are you playing?

I'm running a Trickster Shadow in Legacy, Bladefall for trash and Blade Vortex and Essence Drain for bosses.  Fun, but would be great with some of the gear I already have in Normal.  I've had some decent luck with loot in Legacy, but not much I can use on that character.

I'm pretty terrible at builds so far.  I broke a couple of my normal league chars horribly with the last respec, have to wait until the next available full respec until they're playable again.

Dude DDO is not that special as a combat Sim. Go get elder scrolls 4 oblivion go to nexus get deadly reflexes and unnessasary violence mods then you will seek a way to go back in time and rlfuck yourself in the mouth for ever giving words of praise about the waste of programming resources that DDO represents.

Everquest was(is?) really good with the controls, movement and combat.   

I played Everquest for 11+ years before quitting when the end-game raiding guild I was in retired.  Tried multiple other RPG type games and never found anything good until DDO with regards to movement and controls.  The graphics are a bit dated, but that's understandable for an 18-year old game.

Expansion launches in two weeks.

XBox version is delayed, though.

Any feelers out there?
I may return to the game... ...got burnt on Desync a lot in the past...
