Dungeons and Dragons Online - Fair Codexia Dead - DDO NEWs Thread!

[thesheeep]

Yeah, it's one of the few good MMOs, really.
Most likely because the first M is actually not that massive. Get a group of friends together and do some dungeons. It's fun.

I just installed this expecting a standard MMO with garbage like cooldowns, and I have to say I am extremely impressed at how they implemented the 3.5 rules into the game. I wasn't expecting it to be faithful at all and I was positively surprised. Also the concept of failing a quest, or telling an NPC how you're gonna approach certain cituation and then having to do it that way, the traps and shit. I'm really liking it enough to consider subscribing (there don't seem to be a lot of incentives to do this compared to LOTRO for example).

If you're on Argonessen, what's your nickname?

I'm on Orien.

You lads have the guild on Argonessen? Is it active? I'll just start on a new char anyway if I sub, wanna go Druid, so changing server wouldn't really be a problem.

Yeah, there's a guild but the activity is very low. Still, I'd run a dungeon or two with you if you move there.

Thinking about trying this game, don't know much about it though.
Where do the codexians play?

On Argonessen.

By the way I created the Druid there. How do I get an invite?

Get on your knees. Put a blindfold on. Open your mouth.

Someone will come to introduce you.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Post your character name.

Post your character name.

Pandmorn Fletcher. Do I need to be online to get the invite?

 

[Red Rogue]

Hey all, I joined up on Argonessen. Still figuring things out so I just made a human paladin. Most guides I watched suggested that as a good starter class.

Name is:
Dumaine Johnson

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Getting an error that those character's don't exist for some reason. Might be easier to send the invite when you're online.

Edit: Used only the first names and didn't get an error, guess it worked? D: Check your in-game mailboxes.

I wasn't online. That probably affects things. I am online now though.

Social system doesn't seem very intuitive, I wasn't able to receive any sort of invite.

Also anyone else getting a washed out/grey picture? I bumped up the settings and fiddled with the options but couldn't seem to fix it.

Try checking your mailbox, both tabs. When I logged in I noticed I had an email with an invite to the guild. Ended up being useless because I was invited immediately afterwards anyway.
Don't know what you mean by washed out picture.

I need your character name.

 

[hello friend]

Well, fuck me. Every name under the sun is taken.

This could take a while.

 

[hello friend]

Herpderpherp (First Name) the Name (Surname) is a go

Argonnessen

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Sent you a mail invite, should be in the Unconfirmed tab.

 

[hello friend]

Is that in the social panel? Don't see no invites.

 

[Lhynn]

Is that in the social panel? Don't see no invites.

Its on your mailbox, go there and retrieve the item with the invitation to join the guild.

 

[hello friend]

Oh, I see. According to the internet, the starting area has no mailbox. I'll do some running around, blaze through the starter quests and travel to Stormreach to accept inv when I get back from traveling in about a week.

 

[Mustawd]

Hoaxmetal , give the guild back to Crispy so we can play DDO again with lukaszek , Lhynn , and alfalfa .

Also, why are you rating all our posts shit?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

last time i tried this it refused to launch, and now i'm bored enough i can give it another chance.
suggestions for viable solo builds? can it still be played for free or did it go deeper and deeper into p2w territory?
