Lol just took a look

Haha, just look at my old toons, lulz, only level 6 rogue and rest level 2's hehe.

Dunno if it's worth playing but still looks like fun if there's nothing else to play for free

finding myself at their website maybe once a year pondering if i should make another trial account but then i remember its just a medium sized city with shitloads of instances in.

GW does that better and its no monthly charges.

but DDO is closest to "proper" D&D you can get, is its main pull

my cleric is lvl, er, 16 ? or whatever cap is now, havent played in a while

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah i know its a proper D&D game, i just find it sad they didnt make it bigger then that :/

i was kinda hoping for some open world stuff aswell. not just 1 city with instances in it.

 

[Mabs]

it does have all the open areas that are the quest hubs aswell, with the explore etc quests in them

its got a lot bigger with all the update content, but yes it is a bit instanced

 

[Ctuchik]

so you can actually leave the city and go exploring/killing random mobs now?

 

[Mabs]

attached to the city are various lvl range zones. quite large and usually have a pub or castle or wahtever in the middle. its a quest hub for instances in the area, the zones themselves are "hazard zones" or similair, and you can cavort around them and kill all the named mobs and whatnot.

they arent real "proper" zones but closest thing to it

 

[Ctuchik]

hmm. this game just got interesting.


think i'l go find a free trial and have a look today or tomorrow.

tho with my luck when if comes to Turbine games they probably shut the game down when/if a end up subscribing.

 

[Ctuchik]

well i gave it a go. currently banging my head against a wall trying out a wizard (necromancer path).

 

[Ctuchik]

aaaaand i gave up. i dont mind challenging solo gameplay when i play a squishy, but atleast give them a CHANCE at completing the instances fgs...

had to defend some crystal against some mobs that came in waves, but unless you can i hit kill those mobs u wont make it. and the lvl 1 "nukes" i have cant even 2 hit kill them.

tried a cleric and he was wading through them without breaking a sweat. i didint even lose a single HP on that. and neither on the defend the tavern mission.

started to wonder why i'd been given defensive spells at all on that cleric. so far i havent used a single one other then because i can.

Mages have to be levelled in groups pretty much - tbh its not much of a solo game at all - I used to play a wizard but as a member of a fixed team.

On the other hand there are later bosses that pretty much require a mage or they cannot be killed so they come into their own later - spells like haste/stoneskin are also uber.

when i have a choise to enter a solo instance i'm expecting to actually be able to complete it solo, no matter the class.

i dont mind having to struggle some but this is retarded.
