This will change once you get to about 5. Everyone is either in the harbor or working the dragon.
I'm interested in hearing how it progresses for you. I'd appreciate it if you'd keep posting.
btw .. what server did you start your characters on?
That pretty much says it all. I had a blast for almost two weeks, then finished the game, had nothing to do, then the nerfing began, and is still going on strong.
Give it two weeks, maybe three if you want 2 maxed charactors..Then come tell us what you think.
Personally, I don't play to grind, I play to explore content, since I only have 2 hours of playing time every day, the game will be enteraining for months.
If you are someone who grinds 12+ hours a day, then this might not be the right game for you.
Sorry guys. This is just a sad little excuse(yet another one) the fanboys like to make to forgive a lack of content.
The last module added 15, not 30 dungeons.
Mature and serious?? Lol! Have you been to the forums?
I played 2 hours a day or less, and maybe 10-15 hours over the course of the weekend. id this for two weeks and was capped easily. Its funny how fanboys will say the total lack of depth, content and absence of anything to do besides repeat memorized dungeons is because its for "serious" and "mature" gamers, Lol! Or heres another fanboy gem: "Its a niche" game11!!
As if the devs perpusely sat down and said, "Hey, lets release a bug-filled game with maybe two weeks of content. Cause thats the kind of game mature and serious gamers want to play. Lets have them be forced to repeat the same few dungeons over and over because I'm sure our target players hate having "too much" content."
You guys try playing the game for more than a few hours or days, then try and tell others there is enough content. Once you have played the game past the harbour, you'll be eating crow.
Never fails to amaze me the kind of crap some gamers will not only accept, but defend. Pathetic.
A. Fanboy? Me?! Here in Israel we don't have time to be fanboys. We go to army for three years and then to university. I picked this game to enjoy my few days off from the army.
B. As I said before, DDO suffers from childhood illnesses like all MMORPGS in their first year. Even you godly WOW (or any other mmorpg) was full with bugs, had small content and suffered from terrible lags and server crashes in his first year.
Yet another fanboy quote, "Go play WoW!" It's priceless the garbage they come up with, isn't it? But to defend WoW for a moment, next to ALL their content was available at release and they have been the most responsive team when it come to quickly fixing bugs and providing updates regularly (compared to say SOE). You had 60 levels in WoW and it gave the casual gamer MONTHS of gameplay and a vast place to explore, quest, and craft as well as fight. As usual, I'm not saying WoW is the be-all end-all of MMOs, but they have done a lot of things right.
DDO is failing to meet up to the expectations of casual and hardcore gamers alike. Anyone with experience in other MMOs is going to immediately see the shortcomings of the game and what it's missing. In order to compete in the market, they need to have something complex, deep, and innovative. This game does not fill the role it implied it would with all their pre-game hype. Anyone who has played other MMOs knows how lacking this work is and how little there actually is in the way of content and depth.
So, don't come on with base-less arguements like 15 dungeons is enough content to last a month, and there is plenty to do at level 10. Anyonewho has played this game, and anyone who has gotten to max level knows that you're completely full of ****. Either you have no experience in MMOs, or you're another DDO fanboy who can't see bast the end of his nose (which is shoved so far up Turbine's rear it's no wonder why that's the case). The fact that the game has a rough beginning in the way of bugs and little problems is nothing compared to its total lack of gameplay and re-playability. It's an insult to the MMO community standards for a modern game.
Well said brihtwulf, very well said.
This is the other fanboy excuse: "The game is new, and all MMOs are this bad at release".
Thats BS and they know it. Not only is it untrue, but they fail to realize that DDO came out borked trying to compete with games that are not. It doesn't matter what WoW, or any other MMO was like at release, they are fleshed out and full of content, smooth servers and relatively bug free now.
DDO is not even half finished, bugged to heck, loacks content, crafting, economy, and everything else. Yet they want to compete with games that are way past that stage.
Only a fanboy idiot would pay month after month for a broken gaem waiting for the lazy incompetent devs at Turbine to get off there a$$es and fix it, when they could be playing a polished game.
Fanboys are so lame.
I'm only at lvl 6 after a couple of months of casual play and still really enjoying my time in Stormreach. Apparently there are others who feel as myself as I always see a decent number of players online.
What keeps you coming back here to bash the game? Is Blizzard or someone paying you, or do you have nothing else to do with your precious time?
I'll post all I want little man.
I hate to barge in here and say this but ... I call BS.
Buzzard is the SLOWEST at fixing ANYTHING. How many months had the teleporters been exploiting in Tanaris? MONTHS! And fast compared to SoE? You have to be kidding. SoE has a actual patch system and updates in EQ2, hell they have also had 2 expansions and adventure packs while WoW has jack and squat. And before you say they've added "Free content" so has EQ2 only it wasn't just for raiders.
I am on the same train as you about DD0 blowing chunks but you definately have it wrong regarding SoE and patches/fixing things. They are far far better at resolving these things and much faster than buzzard. Hell Buzzard has been promising a LFG menu system for almost a year now and it's yet to come about.
Glad you got a laugh out of it. I suppose I do tend to post hot-headed.
You like the game, thats cool.
And anarchyart, gotta give ya props for the 'nucks sig, though the dummies seem to choke whever we get close to winning important games. Looks like we're out of the playoffs, barring a miracle

I commend your attempt to try and explain things logically to fanbois, but they live in a world without logic. I wonder what goes through the fanbois head when they finally cancel that game they defended so fervishly. Maybe Anarchyart can tell us.
Some people just can't see what's going on. They just hear what the developers are telling them. It's the same reason some people are still playing SWG. And I also agree with you on your second comment. "anarchyart: defending fanboys since 2003". Sorry for the slide off topic, but I get a little tired of hearing that all the games on this forum are just wonderful...
You seem to take offense to thet word "fanboy". Why? There is nothing wrong with the word. It is only as bad as you make it. Just like "Carebear". If someone wants to call me a Carebear because I do not like PvP, that's ok with me. Doesn't hurt me in the least...
Perhaps you can tell us what it's like to have actual hatred for inanimate objects? Or tell us what it's like to stop being a sentient being and resort to namecalling on the internet?
And more's the point, when I don't wanna play a game anymore, I don't play it. I don't sit and piss and moan and troll the game in it's official forum, like some fat kid that's mad at Mcdonalds cheeseburgers. Find a game you like and fill your heart with happiness instead of avarice and watch how your life improves.
Oh, and there's no such word as fervishly. It's fervently or feverishly, not sure which nail you were aiming at.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.
