What caused this powercreep?
Are the items or stats overinflated nowadays or is it just the enhancements trees?
If it's the enhancements tress does that mean that if I don't use them I'd be able to experience what DDO was like back then?
>>
>>

>>
>>2158987
There's a lot that happened over the course of 20 years.
Heroic Durability is a free feat that gives all characters bonus HP which didn't exist back then.
Enhancements were completely overhauled to make them stronger than they were back then.
Items themselves, both random loot and named gear, went through several overhauls to make them much stronger than they used to be. As an example, Cannith Crafting's progression for Abilities (ie. STR, CON) goes +1 at level 1, +2 at level 2, +3 at level 4, +4 at level 5, +5 at level 7, +6 at level 10, and this is what you get from randomly generated loot nowadays as well.
Compare that to some ancient named loot: Gauntlets of Ogre Power were +4 STR gloves that you couldn't wear until level 9. That's it, no other enchantments on them. Charged Gauntlets and Cloak of Summer are both +4 STR at level 5, with multiple other enchantments on them.
Kundarak Warding Bracers were ML9 raid gear with +3 CON, +3 Resistance, +3 Protection. Today you can cannith craft level 4 bracers with +3 CON, +3 Resistance or Protection, and if it has at least 1 Blue Slot you can use an augment for the other stat.
Unless your Rogue found good random loot in chests/on the auction house, they were probably only rocking a +5-+7 Disable Device item, these days it's pretty simple to farm Death House for +12 to all your trapping skills. +5 Thieves Tools are also far more common.
Feats are more powerful than they used to be (for example Mobility gives +2% Dodge, when it used to basically just be a tax feat for people who wanted Spring Attack)
Classes themselves have recieved new innate features they didn't used to have, such as Second Wind on Fighters and Domains on Clerics.
PRR and MRR now exist, giving everyone damage reduction they never used to have.
Casters do more damage because they added Spellcraft as a skill.
Anyone with Guild Buffs is recieiving a marginal benefit to several areas of their character.
And there's probably more I'm forgetting.

>>2159121
Back then most people only ran on Normal, maybe they bumped it up to Hard in a full, balanced, well coordinated group.
These days with all the added power, running on Elite is generally fairly balanced for first lifers, while Reaper 1 provides an actual challenge. If you still think things are too easy, you can bump that up to R4 or R5 and see how long you survive.
>>
>>2159150
>Ah yes, the game can be challenging and fun but it's paywalled unless you reincarnate twice.
This shit has pissed me off to no end for 20 years. I appreciate that they at least gave us an option in TR, because I wouldn't be playing if they didn't, but god damn it's such an outdated retarded design decision. I guess VIP would completely dry up if they got rid of it though, pretty big selling point for first life characters.

I don't have access to their internal sales data so maybe I'm just talking shit.
But this seems like such a dumb business deal, the person who reincarnate are people who are stuck to the game so they would be the best target for VIPs not the people who are starting out.

Ravenloft is the best expansion in the game in my opinion, followed closely by Sharn. Feywild is just okay. If nothing else Ravenloft gives you a free top tier weapon that can carry you to epics, where the epic version of it can replace it.
But the dungeons are good too. Invitation to Dinner is one of my top five favorite dungeons.

Feywild gear can last you from 5-15, if not 5-20.
Feywild's tree you unlock can help pure CHA melees/gishes like Bard (Swashbuckler doesn't have CHA to Hit), Sorcerer (EK doesn't have CHA to Damage), Warlock (Enlightened Spirit gets neither), and Paladin who would otherwise need to invest in another stat like STR or DEX for their melee attacks.
Feywild's heroic and epic set bonuses are modular; while other sets strictly require 3 or 5 pieces to work, Fey sets start working at just 2 pieces and each additional piece gives another bonus.
Crown of Butterflies giving you permanent Crown of Summer (10 Melee Power, 5 Ranged Power, 15 stacking Healing Amp) is fantastic for anyone.
Ravenloft's weapons can take you from 10-29 where you can swap to the epic version of the same weapon, and they hand you a free Sentient Jewel each life to get to work on those.
Ravenloft's level range is much a more favorable area; it's much easier to get from level 5-10 than it is to get from 10-15.
Ravenloft's tree you unlock is mostly only for Dagger/Kukri builds but there is some low hanging fruit that everyone can use like Negative Energy Absorption.
Ravenloft lets you slot in Freedom of Movement at level 10 to ignore annoying things like Hold Person, as well as Lesser Displacement for a slightly better Blur.
Ravenloft's quests are among the best in the game.
I'd personally go for Ravenloft. While the lower level gear in Feywild is nice, being able to skip annoying shit like Threnal/Restless Isles/Necro 3 and just run Ravenloft at those levels instead, plus getting FoM for all of your characters is just too convenient for both TR trains and for altaholics.

>Ravenloft gives you a free top tier weapon that can carry you to epics
wat
Are you saying that I, as a lvl 15 that haven't done Chill and have a generic +5 drop weapon, can go breeze through some low lvl quests and get a weapon that will be better than anything I can get before hitting lvl 20? Because that's what it sounds like.
>>
>>
>>2160835
Mists, not Chill.
Run Into the Mists, the speak to the guy by the wagon in the wilderness for a free Barovian Weapon. +5, Silver, Holy 3, Fiery 3, Undead Bane 3. Shreds through undead, and Silver+Holy lets it DR break for all sorts of Devils and Demons.
You can also get Macabre weapons from the last 4 quests/looting Talismans from any chest in the wilderness or quests and trading them at one of the inns. Macabre are +5, Evil 3, Chilling 3, Human Bane 3, and Vampirism so it's great to clear out a bunch of humans, or to heal from chip damage.
Sharn weapons are a slight step up at level 15; +5, Adamantine, Holy 4, Electric 4, Construct Bane 4 but I don't find them strong in a meaningful enough way to craft them to replace the free Barovian ones.
>>
>>2160902
CHA to hit requires 3 total.
CHA to damage requires 7 total.
Your familiar can't be damaged or dispelled.
The biggest catch would be you need Magical Training to spend points in Feydark, which pure Paladins don't naturally get unless you spend a feat on it, or get it from an Epic Destiny.

Thinking back to when I first made my account, when the game initially went f2p and Korthos was bustling with people, when the Harbor tavern was filled to the brim with people pvping and hanging out and roleplaying, when the party finder was stacked and dungeons actually felt like dnd dungeons and not superhero speed runs, it makes me kinda depressed it'll never be like that again

What's the difference between an expansion and an adventure pack?
The wiki is pretty vague about it, but I'm getting the impression the only difference is that expansions also gives you some cosmetics and a new race or class.

It's... different. What I hate the most is how almost every mod comes with 6+ different prefixes of varying rarity, but they all do the same because they're not allowed to stack otherwise. It's D2LoD tier affix bloat that makes it borderline impossible to find random drops that aren't vendor trash.
>>
>>2162331
VIPs get all adventure packs for free
adventure packs generally have fewer than 10 quests, while expansions generally have about 14 quests
adventure packs are added to the store right away and can only be bought with DDO Points
expansions start in the DDO Market and can only be bought for IRL money for the first few months, then are put into the DDO store later to be bought with Points
Expansions when bought in the Market come with additional content like races and monster manuals and higher tiers come with cosmetics, additional bank slots, Tomes for each character, and infinite use teleport items. The DDO Store version only comes with the quests+wilderness, no added bells and whistles.

dei hires at stonewall games or whatever. yeah back in the day this game was unbelievably fun. way more fun than classic wow is compared to retail wow is today. like old school 2006 through 2010 ddo is basically the coolest funnest game ever made. the only thing the new version of ddo has on old ddo is content. about 100 billion new quests vs the limited selection of quests back in the day. but the gameplay was so much better, its hard to put it into words, but the power levels were correct, and the cursespewing, vorpal, disruption, paralyzing, smiting, wounding, puncturing ect effects all the effects in the game were straight out of the 3.5 player's handbook or other source material, because it was made by white men who knew "balance" is a jewish term. then after about 2011 the white guys took their profits, quit, (just like in 2009 with wow wotlk) and the company hired cheap dei green haired white male hating lesbians because the new hip thing was being mad at white people because obama just got elected. any other questions?
>>
oh yeah and jump skill was uncapped. so if you had like 105 jump skill you could literally just jump over many of the invisible walls and not invisible walls into out of bounds areas. then the dei green haired lesbian hires "fixed" that around 2011

>>
>>2161549
yeah part of the difference is the meta gaming trends in modern day. back in 2007 ect just the novelty of being in an online mmorpg was entertaining by itself. hanging out in the leaky lobster and chatting and pvping at like lvl5 was entertaining, most people werent even concerned about speed levelling ect, it was a computer game and there werent "goals" the goal was to play it
>>
>>2160741
nope :) ui hasnt changed since 2011. i hear its because of "spaghetti code" but all that means is their dei hires dont actually know how to program anything. their quests and dungeons must all be made from an in house editing program left over from the white guys who originally programmed this game

whether or not you perceive the truth as a lie has zero relevance to me. thats your own mental illness, most likely caused by the obama administration. care to prove me wrong or are you (anyone) just going to dismiss me because it makes you think thoughts you werent prepared to think?

Admittedly it's a retarded, outdated paywall but I appreciate that there is a f2p option to bypass it after doing two heroic reincarnations. It's certainly not perfect but it's better than what was offered before reincarnations were a thing.
Anyway to the vets: I'll be reincarnating fairly soon I think and I want to run a stick monk tabaxi, is the quickstick build still viable or is there something else with dragonlord? I want to make sure it's a predominately monk life because I'm working towards class completionist and would rather run rogue with inquisitive and dragonlord just straight.

was mildly interested in tagging along on one of these, but if mmodventure is a bunch of leftist tranny worshippers I'll pass. Dudes main point was that standing stone hired a fuckton of retarded dyke neolibs that fucked things up, which is fucking true.

Just a case of retarded gamer who thought he was hot shit and got his ego irreparably hurt when he was put in his place. As evidenced by the endless stupid shit he says, he doesn't actually play the games, he's just obsessed with his "revenge".
>>
I will say the fact that all of DDO's expansions having spots on the leveling path and having epic level content is extremely clever and I really wish more MMOs did that. It adds a ton of variety to the leveling process and means I don't have to do fucking Delera's tomb ever again. Worth every penny spent on Saltmarsh, Feywild and Isle of Dread.

From all the MMOs I've played DDO is definitively the one that would benefit from private servers the most.
Hope it happens, it was a nice ride.

>Hope it happens
It'll never happen unless DDO goes under, and even then it's questionable anyone would understand the spaghetti code. The OG Turbine-turned-SSG devs barely know what's going on when issues arise, and they were the ones who developed the damn engine.

Most of the MMOdventure group has sadly passed on, rest in peace.
Some anons are probably still playing, but I haven't checked in myself since last Saturday. I'll probably hop on myself because the current MMOdventure game refuses to run properly and that's as good an excuse as any to play more DDO.

But you have to put a point in Open Lock before you can actually use it. Does eating the book count as putting a point in, or will it just be a +1 bonus that stays hidden as long as I don't have an actual skill point in the skill?
As for the other bit, the way I read things you have to eat skill books in order. 1 -> 2 -> 3 etc. Can't go from 0 -> 3.

>>2177750
Just checked, it looks like trained skills (anything with n/a) won't apply the bonus if you don't have points in them. I have a +3 tome on open lock/disable device and it still says n/a on my current life, but it definitely applied when I ran a dark hunter who was trained in those skills.
And no, you can absolutely go from 0 to +3. Pretty much all of my skills are +3 from tomes gained in epic sagas.

If you're only doing short-term favor then borderlands is much quicker than harbor. The reason that Borderlands isn't on that walkthrough is because it's not technically f2p, despite them giving it away for free practically every year.

Just check back every few months, March I believe is the anniversary so there might be something similar. A year before gatheryourparty they gave out a code that gave almost the exact same stuff (no 32 point buy/warforged/fvs though, but you can get those with favor).

What fucking dogshit design is this. I'll have outleveled that weapon by the time I get the shit needed to upgrade it.

meh/10
Way too many design choices that are retarded for the sake of it. Having a gorillion different versions of the same affix because they're not allowed to stack is one of the most egregorious ones. If they can switch to mana instead of memorized spells, they can also let affixes stack.

I enjoy it, Feels more like an ARPG with weird gearing limitations than an D&D flavoured RPG.
Feels like you need some expansions to have fun, particularly the expansion trove. I can't fathom doing epic levels without menace or shadowfell conspiracy. Get it on sale never at full priceJFC $59.99 for ten year old content what the hell
DDO store sucks ass. Its format sucks, the fact that it sells straight up character power sucks. The fact that it's extremely difficult to know what's worth buying without consulting multiple guides and there's a lot of shit that only benefits the buying character when the bullshit should be account wide is shitty.
I'll probably play it for a few months. the concept of character Reincarnation tickles my autism something fierce.

To add to this, the ransack system is bullshit.
What the fuck is the point in having named loot in a non-raid dungeon if you only have ~6 shots per WEEK to actually get the drop. I'm fine with it affecting xp, but it should not affect loot so those who actually want to complete a set or get a specific drop can do so at the cost of getting zero xp.

>akshually it's 8
Named doesn't drop if the ransack penalty takes the dungeon below the required level for the named.

This is what keeps me playing, the only thing I dislike is making a build that ends up being kinda dogshit or boring and then forcing myself to at least hit 20 with it.

That quest is 16 years old. Literally from Update 1.
The upgrade is just 15 intimidate and deception, it's not worth it at all.
>>2194945
It is 8, the ransack penalty doesn't remove named items from the chest lists until after the 8th time you've opened the chest. I've pulled dozens of named items on the 8th chest.
>>
>>2196062
Sounds unlikely when ransack lower the drop levels to less than what the named requires, but you have no doubt played longer than me so I'll take your word for it.
I know what the bonus is and I can actually use it, despite how minor it is. I should be able to upgrade a fucking leveling weapon in a reasonable time frame and not the 2+ fucking weeks it's going to take me because of ransack bullshit.

>>2194232
the ddo crafting design is designed with the idea that at that level that would be the highest level at the time and "outleveling" it is not a thought during the design of that crafting system. house cannith lvl 19 crafting, greensteel, dragoncrafted armor ect all was implemented when that was the max level. oh you outlevel it? ok well now you can do the next area's crafting system, or at least try it out before you outlevel it. even with no xp tome no xp % bonuses at 3rd life reincarnation you can easily outlevel these crafting systems by just doing their related quests and explorer areas in order to farm the raw materials for that crafting system. its well known and has been well known ever since level 16 greensteel in like 2009
>>
>>2196188
That doesn't mean the system isn't stupid. Craftables that get relegated to leveling gear should have mat reqs nerfed so they can actually be made while they're relevant. As of now, you're better off either not bothering with crafting at all or save whatever you happen to stumble upon and use it for twink gear every 3-4 lives. That's an awful long time to have whatever amount of bag slots occupied by something you'll only maybe use later.
>>
>>2196240
Erm actually you're not supposed to have good gear, like, ever.
You're supposed to pick up scraps and play shitty half-assed builds instead of optimizing, that way normal mode dungeons feel good and challenging.

I'm following the beginner melee pala.
Is Crusade actually worth it? I have to use How Dare You Strike Me to proc consecrate, and it has a 2 minute cooldown on top of only proccing when I hit 50% hp.
I'm eyeing Gaze of the Divine as a replacement.

>>2205158
While on the subject, how the fuck do I sustain smite charges. I don't have How Dare You yet, but I sincerely doubt that and keeping exalted cleave on cooldown will be enough to let me use smite on trash. At least not if I want to be able to keep smiting on bosses.
