	Unlike all or let's say 90% of you in this thread i can read, comprehend, function in society, and make over $150k yealry making games to sell to shitheads like you... He may have said "mmo". DDO however, for the likes of you, is a solo game, so it really makes 0 difference. You want only mmo titles with a hint of d&d? There's runescape which is still better than ddo despite being shit. There's wow which is actually way better than ddo. There's neverwinter which is better than ddo. There's elder scrolls, which is shit, but is better than ddo. Again, for any of this to matter you would need to be a functional member of society with the ability to make friends. So it won't matter one bit for most of you... Ofc. You could also decide to stop being the stupid cunts who beg for ssg cum... but you also won't...

This community, thanks to, literally, our close friends, is best in game. The ability to easily communicate and run with 6 or 12 others is pretty much the opposite of solo gaming which you're so familiar with. Quote: You want only mmo titles with a hint of d&d? Yes, this is one point you've failed to grasp for over an hour, even though you can read, comprehend and make over $150k yealry. I'm sure it's our fault. Quote: There's runescape which is still better than ddo despite being shit. Garbage. Quote: There's wow which is actually way better than ddo. While you might enjoy the emersion of skipping around on a kungfu panda bringing four pebbles to an NPC in a town far away, that's not D&D, Einstein. Quote: There's neverwinter which is better than ddo. You should be ashamed of yourself. Wrong. Quote: There's elder scrolls, which is shit, but is better than ddo. Wronger. Quote: Again, for any of this to matter you would need to be a functional member of society with the ability to make friends. So it won't matter one bit for most of you... If having friends meant Meat and I had to be friends with you, I suspect we wouldn't be here talking about MMOs to a person whose only played games by himself.

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, I believed Starbucks was the greatest coffee in the world. That's not really a good analogy, because "coffee" is a far broader umbrella than "D&D themed MMO." Probably a better analogy is "coffee that's made from cat shit." Yes, that actually exists, and is about as specialized a category as "D&D-themed MMO." I would say that if you refuse to drink anything other than cat shit coffee - or broaden your horizons beyond the weirdly specific "D&D-themed MMO" category - then... more power to you, I guess. But to me, it strikes me the same as those obsessive autists who log 100,000 hours into one game and don't play any others. I guess they're free to do so, but seems like a waste of time when so many other great games exist. Not to mention, at that point, it's literally a mental disorder (or however the hell you classify weaponized autism). DDO addicts, particularly the ones who ONLY play DDO and cocksuck Turbine at every opportunity, are exact same in my eyes. If not worse. Hell, even I feel like I've spent too much time on DDO, as someone who only has 40-something heroic/racial lives and 20 epic lives. I already feel like I've spent too much time on the game. Yet, I can't even begin to to imagine the obsessiveness of those who have 150 reaper points or 150 past lives or whatever. Just seems unhealthy, so yes: I WILL say these people should play other games, and I WILL criticize their addiction to an obviously subpar game.

I'm willing to get behind the notion that all those MMOs you listed are more competently-managed than DDO. But... eh, I'm not sure if DDO is worse. I'd call it even. Most MMOs I've played fall into the same pitfalls of P2W, overly-long grind, shitty communities with unemployed asswipes with too much time on their hands (such as Gunga) populating the entire landscape. Playing DDO is basically a solo-endeavor at this point because of how badly the game has hemorrhaged players, but eh; I always thought the point of MMOs was to play with other peeps. Maybe there are legitimately good MMOs out there and I might be looking in the wrong places, but I've generally noticed that single-player games are much better designed and better-managed than MMOs are.

	Quote: Maybe there are legitimately good MMOs out there and I might be looking in the wrong places, but I've generally noticed that single-player games are much better designed and better-managed than MMOs are. What's interesting is I generally find the opposite. MMOs have better/more customizable UIs than single player games, and that's a big part of why I play them. Looking at DDO specifically I like the concept of hotbars tied to keyboard commands with various spells & abilities, gear swaps, etc. I also enjoy an evolving world not driven by PvP. So even playing solo, I have more fun playing DDO than I would on a single player game.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	What's actually funny is that If you did actually have friends to play with, larian studio's Divinity 2 Custom Game mode will absolutely keep you playing new and exciting shit like an in person d&d pen and paper meet would, at 0 cost past the initial purchase. The only reason you discount it is what has been said already: You are too much of an unemployed moron to have any friends. And also, probably too stupid to understand how to play pen and paper, which really would explain the love for DDO....

	You probably have the same quality of people as a random pug anyway. Going by the numbers of fuckwads who think they have a valid point, but time after time prove to be absolute retards while still adding absolutely nothing to a thread off this very forum, I'd go out on a limb and say that your "friends" (or random Discord people) are either equally retarded or avoid you like the plague. In turn that also means they wouldn't ask you to play a somewhat serious game like those mentioned. So yea, continue sucking SSG's cock, by all means...

"Evolving world" goes both ways. I can't think of a single 1P game which has introduced as much game-changing chaff as DDO has: Monster Champions, Reaper mode, level cap changing from 20 -> 25 -> 28 -> 30 -> 32 -> eventually 40, PRR, Dodge%, Melee/Ranged Power, complete overhaul of enhancements, etc. DDO is a completely different game than what it was 10 years ago, and that makes me sad. It was never a perfect representation of D&D, granted, but back when the level cap was 20 and the old enhancement system was in place, it felt a LOT closer to what I would envision in a "D&D MMO." Resources and decisions actually meant something. Teamwork meant something. On the other hand, if I want to replay Pikmin 2, or Skies of Arcadia, or Banjo Kazooie, or Fire Emblem, I will still get the exact same game, 20 some odd years later. I can continue the experience where I left off. Personally, I would rather have that stability, especially considering those games aren't nearly as unbalanced and prohibitive as DDO is. The only reason I still play DDO at all is because of that tiny sliver remaining of the game it used to be: I only play heroics, usually only run Elite, and still run many of the old packs like Threnal, Fens, and Sorrowdusk.

There are certain types of people whom you are better off ignoring. Like that King Nig Nog guy who used to waste his life here, and must've disappeared while I wasn't paying attention. But yes, DDO and D&D are really two completely separate things. Even when the level cap was 20, DDO took quite a few liberties that didn't feel D&D-esque. 10 years ago before MOTU, it certainly did feel much more "D&D" at least. Nowadays, it's completely unrecognizable. I still maintain MOTU was when everything went downhill. If you want a good, faithful replication of D&D however, I'd encourage you to give Solasta a shot. It's 3E and I've been really happy with it. It's on sale for 60% off on Steam right now, too.

I think for me it helps that I didn't come to DDO wanting "a DnD MMO". I clicked on a banner ad one day, thought "DDO, I remember my friend saying this was good. Let's give it a whirl" and the rest is history. Sad, sad history. I do still go back and play my 20 year old games all the time. I just fired up OG Fable recently(I think because of a conversation we had). But while those old games offer stability and great replayability, they just don't have the depth of an MMO. You're never going to find a single player game with he massive width, breath, and depth of DDO that also still has really good content. I've never seen a 1P game with multi-classing. If the game bothers with classes at all(and not just equipment, IE Fable), there are usually 4-8 max, no multi-classing, and very little actual build-diversity. Same goes with items; either there's a handful of obvious best-in-slot, or everything is "procedurally generated". Crafting. It all comes down to the same problem: not enough depth.

	I have no idea where you got that I'm hurt or try to get accepted here. Idgaf. If I did, I'd try and actually recover my original account wouldn't I? Being accepted by the retards that end up paying for my living by buying the games I work on is utterly unimportant to me. Mostly because I'll never accept them. It's definitely sad that The Vault ended up being a cove of idiots who still spend money on a dead game like the very idiots they call out for being idiots, but it is what it is. The days where hackers and coders met on this forum to tear turbdine/ssg a new one are long gone. Strake should have probably killed the site back in 2016. It really serves no useful purpose now. Except maybe to have scammers scam random people with fake box sales. Given how many idiots still admit to spending money on this shit game, I wouldn't be surprised if even the moron who keeps posting "all good" on his own topic with multiple accounts s able to make a living off scamming idiots who try to purchase. It must be like taking candy from a baby... but I digress. You absolutely have the wrong idea, and these troll cunts are just digging their own grave further proving my points...

	For the UberTard: Ddo only let's you muticlass 3 classes last I checked. And the level progression on stuff like ToEE is much closer to that of pnp than DDO ever was. As far as design goes, you must be damn near the only retard who likes to waste time tinkering with UIs rather than partake in a story or play a game. The reason classes and level progression get stripped or simplified is that literally no one wants to spend 1 hour out of their 2 hour of game time tinkering inside a pointless UI. So much for you having a degree in making games...

Games don't need "build diversity" to be enjoyable, although that is definitely the big draw to DDO in particular. There are turn-based strategy games I really enjoy like Into the Breach or Overland which have incredibly deep gameplay, despite having very little customization. Age of Empires 2, Heroes of Might & Magic 3, and Starcraft 2 are far more strategically complex than DDO can ever hope to be. Final Fantasy 6 is universally regarded as a masterpiece, even though there's almost no character customization. Puzzle games exist. Fighting games exist. But for 1P games with build diversity, Solasta has a very high amount of party customization which allows for endless replayability. Fire Emblem 4 is another game with a staggering amount of options for character customization (in its second generation). Regalia: of Men and Monarchs has dozens of different ways you can complete the game. The Pokemon games have widespread appeal and have nearly limitless possibilities when it comes to party customization, especially the newer ones from what I hear. I would suggest that all these games, plus many more that I haven't mentioned/don't know about, are better-designed than DDO.

Age of Empires 2, Heroes of Might & Magic 3, and Starcraft 2 are far more strategically complex than DDO can ever hope to be. Hmm, RTS games are more strategically complex than an MMORPG, you say? Its almost as if game genre names have meanings. So, like, the "S" in RTS might stand for "strategy", thus indicating what the focus of games in that genre will be. I kid, of course, I see your point. Obviously if strategy is what you want, play an RTS. Quote: But for 1P games with build diversity, Solasta has a very high amount of party customization which allows for endless replayability. Fire Emblem 4 is another game with a staggering amount of options for character customization (in its second generation). Regalia: of Men and Monarchs has dozens of different ways you can complete the game. The Pokemon games have widespread appeal and have nearly limitless possibilities when it comes to party customization, especially the newer ones from what I hear. Aren't the fire emblem games on DS? I've heard of them and have actually been looking for a good RPG I can play on the toilet. Is the combat turn based on real-time? That's been the big sticking point for me, really don't like real-time combat when I'm dropping the kids off at the pool. Quote: I would suggest that all these games, plus many more that I haven't mentioned/don't know about, are better-designed than DDO. No argument at all that there are better-designed games than DDO, especially in other genres, newer, or just made by competent people. But we are not single-issue voters and have more factors to base our decision on than just "design quality". My MMO filter goes something like: -MMO(that's the genre I play) -Fantasy(fuck star wars and to a lesser extent every sci-fi MMO out there) -Build-diversity(be it through multi-classing or some other mechanic) -gear-diversity that is not random/procedurally generated -Some kind of "newgame+" mechanic(like DDO's TR system) So far I don't know of any other game that ticks all those boxes. If you know o I'd love to hear about it. But you see, it doesn't really matter how shitty DDO is; I' looking for something very specific out of a game, so it doesn't matter how much "better" another game is if it doesn't give me all those things I'm looking for.

	I do like SC2. That's about the only other game I play other than Minecraft with my kids once in a while. But, I'm back on a DDO kick atm.

But, I'm back on a DDO kick atm. like my RTSs too, just don't have a ton of time to play. That's the other nice thing about DDO, I can pop in and play for 10 minutes or so. Generally you really can't make any progress on a 1p game in that timeframe.
