[DDO] Dungeons & Dragons Online - Want people to play with? Top of the OP for info

Arivia

So super hyper psyched about this. If only I wasn't already playing TOR.

SquiddyBiscuit

My one complaint with DDO was that they didn't have long-enough, direct storylines (not taking place between several quest packs that are just somewhat loosely connected), and I hope that this expansion will give us a somewhat meaty storyline, which I have no doubts that Turbine will succeed with as they've also thrown in 5 epic levels with this expansion that need exp from somewhere.

If they do that part of the Realms any justice it won't be remotely like that. Oh I hope they do something good with the Haunted Halls...

I'm tempted to roll back onto cannith now and play again. Logged in last night into The Lookouts and last person who logged in was like over 8 months ago, and the rest 2 years plus ha ha ha ha. Can't believe it's been that long.

Mordrack

I've been playing the whole time. I migrated over to Kyhber a long time ago. The newer servers have been pretty barren for a while really.

Jeix

I still play on and off on Cannith. If anyone needs some low level gear crafted send a tell to Lalki and I will hook you up.

So khyber is fairly active? Maybe I should switch servers then once I am ready to get back into it. I'm probably going to drop a few bucks into it before I do, I want to get the Artificer class and a few of the new stuff that comes out.

Mordrack

The artificer is a pretty cool class. But damn if you don't fill up your inventory with clickies, scrolls, wands, and potions of everything. And yeah Khyber is usually pretty hopping.

I have a couple of codes from a pack of the cards used in D&D. Anyone want the codes? First two to answer in here or pm can have one each. (No idea what they unlock)

I'd like a code if you still have any. I just started playing again, trying to level up the dead guild on Khyber. I'm spending my time on other servers at the moment though, just trying to make sure I have a character at 100 favor on each server.

DDO Menace of the Underdark Epic Destinies Preview

Catastrophe_XXVI

I find it funny that I never got into this game because they never had my class of choice. Now they added it in an expansion! I might give it a try. But how does one get access to the druid class? Isn't the expansion still only in beta?

Yeah, the expansion is in beta and slated for release sometime in June I think. Druid is exclusive to the expansion throughout the summer, and will in august be behavioral for purchase in the MTC-store I think.
If you've never gotten into the game before then the expansion is probably the cheapest way of getting a lot of old and new content at once (see my above posts for what adventure packs the different editions comes with).

SquiddyBiscuit

Apparently, DDO is now available on STEAM.
The DLC you can get is cheaper if you just go through the DDO MTC store, I think.

Jeix

I was super excited for this to be on steam now but then I found out that it is no longer based on pnp rules. They have gotten rid of the d20 system and use some percentile based thing now.

SquiddyBiscuit

Really?
I think they still have a bastardization of the d20 system, but they've also started to convert dice values into chance and weapon range.

Jeix

All I know is that fighter past life gave me a +1 to hit in the old system and its +1% to hit now, that's not right.

SquiddyBiscuit

Okay, that is a bit lame.
Need to log in and check what they've changed.

SniperGuy

A few of us are playing on the G&T ventrilo and are on Khyber. We just started a guild named Fancy Lads, so feel free to send me a tell in game for an invite! I'm still fairly new, played it at launch but nowhere near recently. Having lots of fun though. Send a tell to Dohaeris. Or come on Vent and look for me!

SquiddyBiscuit

Cool, I'll make a character on Khyber and join up with you guys.

Captain Marcus

Same here.

spitfirek

I got some characters on Khyber, I haven't played in forever though.

M.D.

i have some characters but they are on Cannith I believe

unless I can move em about, I do know SE++ folks started up again well not sure if started up again is right but are trying again.

Last I remember I was running lvl 20 epics as my wizard but I completely forgot how to play now

SquiddyBiscuit

I just realized that they've changed the character screen music.
Pretty nice

SquiddyBiscuit

It seems like Turbine has made a tremendous cock-up when it comes to the Guild ship. They've twice in a row wiped all the guild ships, and while trying to fix it for a third time they've given everyone the following coupon:

SHIP01

Which allows you to buy 900 points worth of guild ship amenities for free, and to boot they've also reduced the price of ALL guild ship amenities to 1 point - so go ahead and get 900 guild ship amenities people

SniperGuy

You can send anyone in the guild a message to get an invite for the Khyber thing. I'm not on a ton, but someone should be able to hook you up!

spitfirek

Who else is in Fancy Lads on Khyber? I can't seem to search for guilds, only players.

SniperGuy

Currently we have a whopping three people. Me, SniperGuy, Gornish and Petva. When we get about 2k more XP I can mail guild invites, so I'll let you know.

harvest

I am also interested in joining with you guys on Khyber. Me and Spitfire are RL friends and playing there. Char name is Statler, level 6 Artificer.

spitfirek

Oh ya, might help if you have my character's name... Tripsy, lvl 9 clonk(cleric/monk). I also have a bunch others, but they are in transition between getting replaced by new characters I think.

harvest

We're in ur guild, raisin' ur levels.

Mordrack

If anybody wants a stone of experience let me know. They take you from level 8 to level 16 and give you some, mostly meh, gear. I've got a few left over.

SquiddyBiscuit

Yeah, once you guys do get to guild level 5, I'd like an invite as well.

spitfirek

We already are at 8... harvest and I have been busy

SquiddyBiscuit

Oh, can I have an invite?
