Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote. I thought you were talking about skipping korthos, not just leaving once you finished and then coming back. Oops.
Thanks I'll check these out.
Edit: dang, I like the dwarf loadout, but I already picked human.

Don't worry about it. Not a big difference. As human, you'll get an extra feat, so you can always take Khopesh which is a good DPS weapon. You won't get the Dwarven Axe enhancements, but the Khopesh has a better crit range, so it's very good.
Man I am going to work my ass off to get at least to level 9 or 10 tomorrow since I've got most of the day off. Sick of being behind everyone!
I never asked for this!
...huh.
Also, if theres anything I've learned tonight, its that elf dance sucks, halfling dance rocks.
No, I haven't played melee in comparison yet. I just have the impression that ranged combat is just...less effective.
Break-dancing or anything near that dances are always the best in any MMO. Well actually, LOTRO had some pretty good dances. Other than that, break-dancing is the way to go. Human dance is pretty funny in D&D.
Aside from that I should be able to throw out mildly decent heals with what spell power I have.
Edit - The insta-gib undead triggers on critical confirmations, so that'll be fun. What's better to support that, doubling the crit range via feat or getting the +4 confirmation on crit feat (I've never been fully clear on what that means)?
We dont have any 10's yet. I'm 2 ranks into 9, Mord is even further.

For citical hits, you first have to roll within your crit range ex: Longsword, 19-20 x2, then there's another roll, that if you hit the opponent with it, the damage is critically multiplied. 1 attack, but 2 rolls to make sure you hit them that hard. Personally, as a paladin with a good BAB, increasing the crit range would be better for you. You're going to hit, might as well increase the chance it's a crit and rely on your basic combat ability to carry it home.
I also love how even removing the UI from the screen still includes your mouse-look target on the screen.
Edit - Using the middle mouse to capture screens from other angles while doing anything active is hard.

People should post screens more often I think, at least for the next short while. I'll be plucking them and adding the choice ones to the OP to show things off. Maybe we can arrange for a guild screenshot to fit at the top.
This game is not a solo game. Its D&D and D&D is and always has been a social experience for everyone involved. This game is very much geared toward that same social experience, a couple of guys adventuring together in the evenings. Also i'm lvl 9 and i've yet to experience any serious content lockout that causes me not to enjoy the game or to have nothing at all to do. Granted i also enjoy repeating some adventures because they were fun the first time and i want to do them again but harder ect.
Content is now all on sale too which is cool, im gonna try to get a couple adventure packs tomorrow if i can manage it.

Yea, but sometimes no one from the guild is on, or the guild is already in its own groups... I know I've been frustrated when I have been on because for the most part, there's no one to group with around.
Also, fuck PUGs.
The crit range feats are a must for melee. Pick whatever type of weapon you're using and get that feat. The crit confirm feat isn't worth it. If you're having problems confirming crits, get a weapon with seeker on it. At end game, most melee are using the Bloodstone, which is a rare trinket that drops in the Desert wilderness area which gives +6 Seeker on it. It helps confirm crits, but also adds to the damage before the crit multiplier is applied. Oh yeah, if you're using a crit based ability, pick a weapon with a big crit range (Scimitar or Kukri for one handed slashing, Falchion for two handed and Rapier for piercing).
Technically you do. There are bonuses during quests that add to your exp total depending on how many of the enemies you kill. I think when you kill all present it's called conquest bonus. Before conquest is onslaught, which is a lower percent bonus, and before that is aggression.
Just want to make sure I'm not being overly penalized for being the healer.
That was a fun fight. Not when everyone died and I was stuck fighting the boss and all the minions though.. That was painful.
Oh damn though now I'm sad no one took a picture of me saving everyone from the dozen or so skeleton archers and then stopping to dance for a few seconds.
I never asked for this!
Yeah it's fairly refreshing to have puzzles and such.
Only downside is that it takes a long time to download for me. Now that I've beaten the starting area I have to wait for the game to download stormreach (or maybe the whole game, not sure).
So far enjoying playing my cleric though
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
Yeah I don't think I've ever been grouped with a wizard or sorc.... which seems strange.
Level 2 Bard & Rogue (Panzey & Keredain, respectively)
As much fun as we're having, I have to ask, how bad is the content selection, post-Korthos?
While I have no issues with re-subbing to DDO (Played off & on from Beta anyhow) there is a kind of appeal in trying to get it done without spending a dime, and without the high level characters to feed loot to my alts =P
Pretty much all the guild is f2p. Occasionally we buy a zone but so far we haven't really done anything beyond the free stuff.
I never asked for this!
