I liked the game a lot but the dismounts were ridiculous. Also a bug in PVP when a wall or door gets knocked down and you cannot see the rubble. You just have to jump over and even stand on top of a transparent block of nothing.
I can put up with s…

If the focus of the game is combat, that's probably what would happen. Everyone would be a gun figI cahter.
I can think of about 12 classes without even going to google:
Bounty Hunter, Gambler, Gunslinger, In…
The [re]Development team at enb-emulator.com have a server up for Stress Test, multi-player is in. The three classes that were never introduced to the original game are actually in the emulator (the Devs found them already in the old code).

I'm so glad SOE didn't get this title and that's really the main reason I'm not on the Vanguard bandwagon.
Turbine has struggled to some degree but I think they are due - they make some visually stunning games and while their DDO launch while a li…

People seem to like standing around waitin for others to grab them. An auto form-a-group option would just dump people in and get them moving... auto-assign a quest also, how long do you have to wait while everyone say…
DDO is infinitely better then GW - there's just no comparison in my opinion.
This is Dungeons & Dragons - it uses the D&D rules and world of Eberron content from 3.5. That's important because it uses a widely understood rule-set that many …
Yes, we all got buddy keys with our retail box edition. I have one here but going to give it to a RL friend to try to get him playing.
Good luck finding one.
I play on a busy server, Sarlona, and I never have trouble grouping. If my LFG flag doesn't get me tells and invites right away, I'll check the list to see what groups are Looking for More and see if I can match up classes. If that's a no go, I'll l…

... the focus is on group play and making friends in the game. So whether that discourages or encourages you, I hope it helped you with your decision a little.
The dynamics of this game hinge on those things you …
Good review - I am of a similar opinion. The success of this title depends entirely on content updates. Fortunately they have much to draw from the pen-and-paper game - it's really just a matter of how quickly they are able to get it in game.

I agree that DDO was designed for the pnp audience, but more specifically, I think their target segment is the MMO audience who played pnp as teenagers/young adults during the 80s and 90s.
Sounds pretty specific but the MMO audience is aging and t…
Best thing for me about DDO is that its rules system is practically canonized and hopefully impervious to nerfbats. Worst thing for me is the UI which needs some attention. It's not easily customized and the chat windows are clunky at best.
Those …
I've never waited more then 10 minutes to get a group, and that's as a rogue or paladin and I've played early mornings and late evenings.
I've never actually tried to form a group but at any one time there are dozens of player LFG but they don't s…
Depends on what you're looking for in a game - I bought GW, played it for a weekend and then gave it to a friend. I couldn't bear to play that game another minute.
DDO though - I find it to be both challenging and entertaining. It's not for 18 hou…
Review or preview - its merely an exercise in symantics. The same information is there and while he does not grade the game he clearly likes the game a great deal.
I've neglected to take any. If I get a chance to play tonite I'll take a few and try to post them. If I don't get a chance to play tonite, I won't be back in front of my gaming system until Friday night so maybe someone else will.
I don't get the constant comparisons of this game to Guild Wars. I bought GW and played it for a weekend... and then couldn't bear the thought of logging in ever again. GW just didn't appeal to me. I thought the class combinations were clunky and ga…
The customization options are good but not phenomenal. There's a lot of choices with hair, eyebrows, facial hair... and the colors thereof. Also skin color, lips, nose. That's all very good.
On the downside, each race gets about four facial markin…

They all "look" the same for the most part, the only real difference is the map.
Thats your opinion, but an incorrect one by my estimation.
