Reaper has always been a "fischer random" type of system. "Fischer random" can't fix chess anymore than champions, reapers, or whatever the fuck random can fix DDO.

Fundamentally the experience of quests is down to quest design, character progression, and the community's experience.

Sauce? I don't see it in the release notes (not calling you liars, would just like to know)


It wasn't in the notes, but was implemented on lama land regardless... so either a bug or a ninja nerf. Regardless, it was a nerf of 70+ % DB damage.

Random quests, been saying this for years. Something like sorties in warframe. Don't know if it's even feasible on the game engine but knowing the ins and outs of every quest, traps and enemies placement, was one the reason of my first 2 1/2 years hiatus

Multiple ways of completing quests without one being objectively better/faster than the others

Ways to improve rewards ranging from higher named drop to boosted named items.

Make a motherfucking universal crafting system and STICK to it. I cannot understand why 99% of mmorpgs can craft potions, armor, weapons and a shitload of other stuff while "DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS ONLINE" doesn't offer anything even remotely satisfactory. All offensive scrolls and wands being useless is a perfect example

Most players would welcome the idea of having stuff to do and work for if it actually meant something. I'm stopping here, it's not good to be hopeful or daydream about a better ddo.

Im not sure about that, IIRC sorc trees dont buff IK DCs and it is very hard to get your IK DCs high enough if you do not have max past lives, especially on newer content, ever since they nerfed IK by lowering the stat bonuses on legendary gear.

At least they didnt nerf level 9 spells but i think you will probably need 2 sorcs to do what 1 sorc could do before, and with the ghost town servers, that can be hard...


Why would you use a DPS tree when you're building for IKs?

You can get reasonable DCs for most content on a low life build, but ya, newer content can be rough.

1x wiz, 3x DG and you're pretty much set. Not exactly a completionist here.

Been ages since i played DDO, but from what i remember, sorc class trees are all DPS focused on one element with the exception of their gimped EK tree that doesnt give them cha to hit or damage (i forgot which one it was). They dont get an IK tree unless its something they added since i last played.

The Dragon Lord Fighter Archetype looks incredibly underwhelming.
  
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.

Indeed. Not even gonna waste my time trying to work out a build (even in my head) for it.

Those auras are just awful. If they were +10 instead of +2, +3, or +4, I might try to think of a build.

Are they planning to make it a purchasable archetype?

To be fair the Ravager tree in it makes for an interesting addition to the base Fighter but losing Kensei is complete trash. If they had dropped Stalwart and Vanguard instead it would be pretty sexy.

It would be fuckin hilarious if this was the litmus test for selling archetypes instead of giving them away.

Sooner or later they will sell them. You need to bleed for your past lies literally and figuratively.
