    Your other points aside, what MMOs have such incredible graphics that DDO's graphics could be considered horrible? For a few examples, WoW, while attractive in its own cartoony way, isn't close, Guild Wars is on par, and Everquest 2 with everything maxed has a bit better looking characters if you zoom in, but I wouldn't say the environments are much if any better.

    Actually they are a bunch of retartds. 

    I played DDO for one month (ONE MONTH) and i saw the following:

    1. Demon Sands came out with a plethora of critical bugs.  People couldn't leave a zone without freezing up.  Wizards lost menu shortcuts.  Melee combat was plagued with a 50% attack speed glitch.  Auction Houses were ripping people off.  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Sure the glitches have been worked out, but this shit was on the test server for how long? and they still released it??

    2. Credit cards were accidentally charged months and years in advance.  What the fuck kind of company screws something up so bad that the software that manages their customer's personal CREDIT CARD INFORMATION goes completely haywire? 

    3. 4 days straight of unplanned, unannounced downtime.  Mod3 came out and two days later everything suddenly shut off.  I have never seen this from an official MMORPG.  I have never even seen it on privately owned, non-profit servers!

    4. The player outcry was so great that they disabled the official forums.  The forums had been completely overrun by pissed off subscribers.  What is Turbine's response?  Not an explanation why everything went down.  Not an ETA as to when it would be back up.  No response on the myriad of glitches.  They turned off the forums.  Completely cut off the community's mode of communication. can you believe it? 

    And i saw this all in the one month that i played.

    WOW!!! I can hardly believe it! I quit playing a while back and didn't suffer those problems at that time.

    My son wanted to try the game out with me after seeing me play it several times and always asked "what game is that, dad?". So I created a trial account for him and I started up a new character to play with him. After the initial amazement lasted a few hours, he was able to sum up all the things that bothered me, and that I quit for, in about 5 minutes.

    It's surprises me that my 12 year old son can so clearly isolate and discuss the poor quality features of the game. He mentioned:
    -quests were extremely dull and repetative
    -very poor targeting controls in general
    -aweful that so many cool power, skills and feats are all controlled by a keyboard button rather than a fire/altfire button function
    -limited to none character customizablity
    -auction house sells the same garbage that you get from quests
    -items like weapons are not varied enough
    -has had more fun using PrintShop

    That's my boy!... good job! :)

    Can anyone else confirm this? I thought this game had its flaws, but it had some redeeming value, not enough to spend $15 a month though. Dropping the monthly fee would definitely get me interested again. One of the biggest criticisms during beta was that it was a GW clone that you had to pay for.

    I think he is referring to the monthly updates, not the monthly fee for players. But i wouldnt pay to much attention to what C-Rpg is stating, they are very often false and just plain hatespewing.

    I havent seen any news about turbine dropping the free monthly updates, but im sure C-Rpg can find me/us a link to back it up.

    I have nothing to add to this thread other than to point out that when
    one decides it is prudent to attack the grammer of another, they should
    at least consider making the point in sentences which do not, in fact,
    contain numerous grammatical errors.



    Cheers.

  • BesCirgaBesCirga Member Posts: 806


    Your post has nothing to do what I said. The reason the game is doing so poorly is because there is lack of staff, a lack of funding and a lack of community. The game was rushed because they lack the funding to finish and the add content is appealing to the mindless MMO players not the DnD fans. Turbine said DDO was going to be loyal game for the loyal DnD player. That all changed when the number of players dropped. Once the player population got below 70k, they start putting in Drow, more dungeons and PvP. And I do believe they original were going to make us pay for the updates EQ style, but change their minds after decline of the players. Last I hear from DDO website, they were going to drop the monthly too.

    "Turbine already seems to be considering how it might capitalize, perhaps by eliminating or reducing its monthly subscription fees, and selling items to players à la carte, for about $1 to $5.

    Anderson, Turbine's CEO, believes that business model could ``open up the gaming market to a much larger audience, where today's monthly subscription price is a barrier."

    But Anderson knows that getting into the business of selling cloaks and swords will be a high-wire act for Turbine and other game developers." - Crash86

    Now please shut up, Best.

    my bad, i thought you were talking about monthly updates, not monthly fee. out from what i marked red in your post, its hard (for me atleast) to get that you are talking about monthly fee and not monthly updates, which i clearly statet in my post.

    As for lowering the monthly fee and starting the an item shop module. if that happens, im out of DDO. simple as that.
    Even tho your opinions stink as tho they have been pulled out off a mules arse, i have to say, thx for the link.

    ps. why you calling me best? im not...image

    The reasons why I like DDO (lets stay on topic):

    It's a totally new experiance, you don't regenerate hitpoints or manapoints while doing nothing. This is by far the best feature EVER! Nobody ever sits still unless you find a rest shrine (a shrine that refills your mana/hp once per shrine)

    I've been playing this game quite a while now and i have no idea why people do not like it, or dislike it.

    some of the things why i chose ddo:

    1. I don't have to be online allot, do a mission and logout takes 1 hour maximum! great for casual players.

    2. no resting in dungeons! makes the gameplay fast and less delay.

    3. Mature community, everyone seems to be around 20-30 years of age.

    4. exciting class building, endless possabilities if you include crossclassing.

    (current state of the game, based on my personal experience - past problems therefore not included)
    Played before: DAoC (3 years), EQ2, WOW, CoH, Beta-tested several other games

    Pro:

    Suites a casual playstyle (matter of opinion wether that is a good thing, but for me it is)
    Starting an adventure doesn't take long (including forming groups) - not much waiting around in general
    Combat is interesting and more challenging than in most other MMOs (active blocking, tumbling etc)
    Quests can have different levels of complexity depending on difficulty-level and classes in the group
    Build-in voice chat
    Interesting class-system
    Content constantly added
    Very friendly and mature community

    Con:

    Not really true to the D&D rules and such (doesn't really matter to me personally, havent played the PnP very often)
    No world to explore (again, doesn't matter to me all that much)
    Monthly fee a bit too high for this type of game - 10$ would be more appropriate


    The key to this game, imho, is to have a nice guild that plays with voice chat. Rushing through dungeons does take away a lot of the fun and trying to max out as fast as possible also doesnt add to the fun in this game, since the leveling itself is supposed to be the fun, not getting to cap level.
    Its really not an "achiever" game.

    1. So does Guild Wars, your point?



    2. Why you like it, a lot people who play spellcasting classes don't.



    3. Same exact thing they said about Guild Wars. Now that's all changed
    because the kids follow them their too. The reason they aren't that
    many kids (I met a 16 and 14 on the game) is because kids are smart
    enough to not buy a game that sucks.



    4. DnD games have always been know for making exploitation builds.



    5. Yawn, anyway.



    6. Save the greetings, they aren't that many fans here so you're gonna be pretty lonely...much like the game.

    CaptainRPG, do you have ANY social skills that are for the positive?

    Eventhough you make awesome points, I can barely stand reading your replies because most of the time, you're rude! Heaven forbid you refrained from saying stuff like shut up, that game just sucks, and basicaly act like some snot nosed kid that still needs his arse wiped by mom.

    In real life, if you were to speak like that around people, you would get your arse handed to you in a lunch bag! What gives man? I like your posts alot, but the senseless drivel I could do without.

    If the shoes fits...I mean if the game sucks, the game sucks. The game offers the same thing GW offers, but less.



    As for your comment about my social skills, I tell the truth and it's
    kids like you who can't stand having the reality shattered. Just
    because one don't acknowledge that the hosue is on fire, doesn't mean
    the house isn't on fire. Just because one doesn't acknowledge the
    number of the decline players doesn't means the game doesn't suck.



    As for my age, I'm enough to drink and much more. If anyone thinks it's
    good idea to put their hands on me, it's going to end in three
    ways...and I'm not going to go into detail with that either, I'm going
    to stay on topic.

    CaptainRPG, you seem intelligent enough to have made your own mind up about DDO and not making a judgement solely on people's opinions on this website, there is a free 10 day trial, I suggest you let others make there minds up themselves, just as you did!

    You must not leave until you free Arlos and have gathered your party safely in this hallway.

    I knew
    this game was going to be bad before the trial. If you played pass DDO
    games, you'll know why DnD games can't be made into video games. Also
    putting a monthly fee on the game spoke volume on how well it was going
    to do. The final nail in the coffin is when I saw screenshots of the
    graphics, read the feats and how the game only had level 10 gap.



    So don't go thinking I can to the conclusion after the game...

    How you can come to a conclusion before playing is beyond me.........? You don't see reviews of a game before the reviewer has played them!

    Sorry
    to burst your bubble, we3, but I wasn't the only person skeptical about
    Turbine's antics. A lot of us knew the game was going to end up poor,
    especially those who played the game before release. And it was people
    like yourself who kept saying this was only beta and that the finish
    product would be better. Instead, we got the same crap we saw in beta.



    And if you played past DnD games, you'll no why DnD is such a difficult
    game to translate into a video game. I've played both Baldur Gate
    games, NWN, Dungeons and Dragon Heroes, etc. You'll find that most of
    those games had a hard time translating the game into a video game just
    as Turbine did, which is more WotC fault than anyone elses.



    And I read the news of what Turbine was going to do with the game.
    Turbine already had record of screwing up their own games, Asheron's
    Call 2 which died out prior to release and Asheron's Call is dying a
    slow death. The game's screenshots and gameplay spoke volumes about
    what we were going to expect and Turbine didn't let us down.



    Lastly, this game isn't worth $30+$15 dollars a month. This game barely
    has a months worth of content and can beaten within a 7 to 10 day
    trial. Would you want to pay $15 dollar a game that can be beaten
    within a week?

    Dude, you can't beat the game in 2 days unless you didn't sleep, skipped crafting anything and people gave you equipment.



    DDO can beaten less than that if you ACTUALLY gave a damn about beating the game. Dungeons takes 10 to 25 minutes to beat each.

    Sounds fun eh? Not!



    Dude, you can't beat the game in 2 days unless you didn't sleep, skipped crafting anything and people gave you equipment.

    DDO can beaten less than that if you ACTUALLY gave a damn about beating the game. Dungeons takes 10 to 25 minutes to beat each.


    Well, in that case by your reckoning, that is only 48 hours to beat WoW, not very long is it? Nobody mentioned anything in that thread that I can see about being given equipment and that is soloing lol!!!!

    You can't even complete most of the dungeons in DDO on your own unless you are of a much higher level than the dungeon! I don't think I could even get either my Wizard or Sorcerer to lvl 12 on his own!

    You must not leave until you free Arlos and have gathered your party safely in this hallway.

    CaptainRPG,
    you seem intelligent enough to have made your own mind up about DDO and
    not making a judgement solely on people's opinions on this website,
    there is a free 10 day trial, I suggest you let others make there minds
    up themselves, just as you did!


    I
    knew this game was going to be bad before the trial. If you played pass
    DDO games, you'll know why DnD games can't be made into video games.
    Also putting a monthly fee on the game spoke volume on how well it was
    going to do. The final nail in the coffin is when I saw screenshots of
    the graphics, read the feats and how the game only had level 10 gap.

    So don't go thinking I can to the conclusion after the game...

    How
    you can come to a conclusion before playing is beyond me.........? You
    don't see reviews of a game before the reviewer has played them!

    It seems to me you are someone who thinks that whatever he does not like should not be liked by anyone else, move along!


    Sorry
    to burst your bubble, we3, but I wasn't the only person skeptical about
    Turbine's antics. A lot of us knew the game was going to end up poor,
    especially those who played the game before release. And it was people
    like yourself who kept saying this was only beta and that the finish
    product would be better. Instead, we got the same crap we saw in beta.

    And
    if you played past DnD games, you'll no why DnD is such a difficult
    game to translate into a video game. I've played both Baldur Gate
    games, NWN, Dungeons and Dragon Heroes, etc. You'll find that most of
    those games had a hard time translating the game into a video game just
    as Turbine did, which is more WotC fault than anyone elses.

    And
    I read the news of what Turbine was going to do with the game. Turbine
    already had record of screwing up their own games, Asheron's Call 2
    which died out prior to release and Asheron's Call is dying a slow
    death. The game's screenshots and gameplay spoke volumes about what we
    were going to expect and Turbine didn't let us down.

    Lastly,
    this game isn't worth $30+$15 dollars a month. This game barely has a
    months worth of content and can beaten within a 7 to 10 day trial.
    Would you want to pay $15 dollar a game that can be beaten within a
    week?

    Well, at least it is a week, WoW can be done in 2 days according to this guide................

    Well,
    in that case by your reckoning, that is only 48 hours to beat WoW, not
    very long is it? Nobody mentioned anything in that thread that I can
    see about being given equipment and that is soloing lol!!!!

    are of a much higher level than the dungeon! I don't think I could
    even get either my Wizard or Sorcerer to lvl 12 on his own!



    1. You can go through the game soloing, but YOU STILL NEED TO BUY
    EQUIPMENT so unless someone give you equipment and you pull 2 days of
    all nighters, you can't finish the game within 2 days.

    2. I
    got to level 4 with my paladin in just one day (two hours of gameplay
    btw) so either you suck or you get with really bad groups.

    Don't
    mind We3, he isn't getting his information from legitimate sources. WoW
    is very equipment based. You cannot go through the game solo using the
    same equipment. The author of that source of information didn't even
    include his gear or class, which makes We3 look pretty foolish. I'm not
    at all mad or irritated, but just goes to show how far fanboy will go
    to prove their point, which is the point of stupidity. Look information
    yourself and you'll that is a missing from that post.



    I've seen post like this in WoW, but they've included their gear, class
    and tactics. The amount of days it took to finish WoW was over a month.
    This post that We3 pulled out of his butt doesn't include this, which
    means We3 has just embarassed him.

    Read the thread, the druid class is mentioned as is the mage class, 2 days to get to lvl 60 lol lol lol

    I suggest you post on that thread yourself and tell them how crazy they are for suggesting it then if you don't agree, as it seems the majority of them do. It seems they know a lot more about WoW than you do lol lol

    GO on post on it let's all have a laugh lol lol lol. I will relink it on here after you have, if you are not a member, make sure you use the same name you do on here so we can see, go on do it, tell them how ridiculous they are! lol lol lol
