Some examples of Thelanis being shit


It sounds like you are exclusively pugging. That is a shitshow on any server.

I think Orien is doing fine. Couple tanks, couple healers. Quite some dps, but only a few really good ofc.

Pugging is also pretty decent if you ask me...

Compared to other servers, I think Orien does good Tongue

As far as I know all servers are like that, but seems khyber and ghallanda have more players at endgame. The general population of good players at cap is so small that everyone knows everyone. There are really exceptional players here and there on every server, but they can't find likeminded people to push the limits.

Another cause of problems is that the game is dramatically reward orientated. This leads to farming mentality. And the worse is that the top difficulties and hard stuff do not pay back well. There are many players who are really good but they don't want to do hard stuff, they just want to accumulate power.

Main problem is.. when a build is good it gets nerfed, so good players tend to not share their builds and little secrets.




Only when something is above the roof it is nerfed. You never needed that and "secrets" to be good.

Omni is probably still the best raiding guild on Ghallanda. Helter Skelter is ok and so are one or two others. Best Beaches Around are a fun group to raid with, too.


As far as I’m aware Helter Skelter is the only guild on Ghallanda that has a prescribed raid time for both American and European time zones.

We’ve also got a separate raid night now where we mess around and try one high skull completion, just for fun.  For most of us it seems to strike a nice balance; we don’t have to worry about actually completing the raid and if we do fail there is always next week where we can take another stab.  This last run we completed a high skull Baba, was a lot of fun.

I generally run with the same core of 6ish people, aka the better players on the server. The problem with Thelanis is never, and I mean NEVER, being able to fill a raid with quality players. At best we end up filling the last 4 slots with bads.

As an example we ran a R4 Strahd a few weeks back. Already a bad group with a couple warlocks and 3 or so pug melees. But we had the trinity covered with the goods so went ahead. Made it up the stairs fine, got through the mist room, through the torch room, and all was pretty smooth. Throne room went all to shit. Tank died within 10 seconds because the doper healer that was supposed to be watching him was doped out. Recovered. Bride kiter took a bad break and went down, he had a trinket. Other shithead with the trinket got gripped, yay. Not even 20 seconds later the quality healer got gripped. Tank ran in circles, recovered. Kiter passed trinket off to trash warlock, immediately got gripped, dies again because trash players. One of the idiot warlocks with a trinket was so panicked he died in the mists like it was his first time in there. After being down to 2 people (myself and the tank) twice we finally pulled shit together and started getting it done. And then all the sudden the 3 brides walk away from the kiter - strahd walks away from the tank. Where were they going you might ask? Over to the shitbag pug monk that decided to pop a Potion of Wonder and got Hate Magnet. No joke. Of course we just let the idiot die and went on to complete.

Granted the experience was fun and hilarious to talk about this is the kind of crap Thelanis offers.

I think you're partly correct with this. On Thelanis we probably have a couple churning out lives right now that would probably fit the real meta if they stayed there. But that isn't enough to offset all the uber completionist turds we already have. I can name at least 4 characters on Thelanis that have every past life available, at least 3 of them have reaper wings, and they're so bad they either run LN raids or get lucky and fill one of the last slots in the raids we run. I'm under the assumption that the good players quickly realize they don't need every past life. For me the breaking point wasn't even 1/3 of the way through and that could have happened much earlier.

Definitely right about everybody knowing everybody though. I doubt there's anyone on the server I've not run with, at least not the ones worth running with.

You just cant tell if a player is really good these days when ppl just play monks, wolves, warlocks, sorc and fvs.

The real skilled players that could play even crap builds are gone from DDO since it turned into a clone Wow.
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

DIO you can't kill the metal

They play those builds cuz sev killed the game

DPS, DCS, Tank maybe most time not even needed

I'm sure there are lots of things they could do for real challenge but that takes work

This reminds me hearing players say once they get "insert item or set" they will be unstoppable.  Well guess what......you were shot before you got the item, now you are shot with a good item.  Congratulations, you are still shit.

But going back to what you said earlier, as far as raids go, people that cannot communicate well in group are worthless.  And along with that, are the players that can't think on thier feet when it hits the fan.  Those players that hope they only have to select boss and hit auto attack.  Top notch gear and all the past lives will not save those players.
