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

I would personally recommend avoiding reaper unless you are in a group on your first life. You run into tier 3 monster champions on that difficulty and plague reapers will destroy you in just a couple hits. Because reaper spawns are a random chance it is very easy for you to get curbstomped on an unlucky amount of spawns. Trust me it gets really frustrating and not worth it.

I've soloed lots of reaper quests and reached reaper 3 now. Just bonk those reapers on their heads.
bonk!

Are you a hoarder ? Do you want to play lots of different builds ? If you say yes to either you will suffer. Both ? Hell.

when I played I had a txt file with what each category of item all my mules carried

 

[Reinhardt]

Black Friday started. Good deals in market - if you wanted sharn and feywild expansions now is a good time. Nothing interesting for me in game store.

Guess i will have to buy expansions full price after all.

 

[Reinhardt]

anyone planning to play hardcore(ha-ha) in new league?

 

[lukaszek]

huh... this is cool? Problem in past was that hardcore guilds were too small and quite impossible to form a party at your level. They had some cooler restrictions, like not using shops or hirelings at all, not really allowing trading

Id be up for it, bard or rogue

 

[rusty_shackleford]

hardcore is shit because the servers have absolutely terrible stability, you're going to eventually die due to lag

if you have per-server bonuses don't forget to make a character and claim them so you can import them to your live server when it's over though

 

[lukaszek]

it got worse? back in my days death from lag wasnt a thing.
Id still go for it, dont expect to go past lvl 12 anyway. Not because Id die but because I expect to lose interest. But who knows

intermittent lag spikes were common enough when I last played, just a minor annoyance on live, definitely the difference between losing your character on HC though

I think on the hardcore server they put in special champions that have really nasty effects. A few seconds of lag is just milding annoying in game but on hardcore it can mean instant death.

Also, your locked out of running a quest if your too high over level so you cannot run a level 2 quest on elite at level 10 for max favor. But yeah, trappers and healers are essential over there so if you play one of those you should always find a group.

 

[JamesDixon]

I'm tempted to sell my DDO founder's account that still has one of the first guilds on the Khyber server.

 

[Reinhardt]

Leveled codexia again. Still shithole.

 

[lukaszek]

is it first time they run hardcore or was it a thing in past years?

EDIT: nvm, season 5

How to sabotage others so they get killed in hardcore?

play a trapper but don't disarm the traps

 

[Reinhardt]

i'll probably just do 100 favor run. with barbarian, i think. you can't go wrong with barbarian.

 

[lukaszek]

How to sabotage others so they get killed in hardcore?

hypnotic pattern to blind em, cast friendly grease near ledges, dispel feather fall mid flight

Or just run leroy jenkins style

or play healer but forget to heal

 

[infidel]

Also this video is a great guide to champions and how dangerous the different kinds are.

Weird, his nose seems way smaller in this one.

 

[Sykar]

Anyone bought something during Black Friday sale?

 

[lukaszek]

ie noticed that wiz3 gets now fancy forms. Does it mean that on hardcore its fairly common to have wiz3/wiz6 splashes?

 

[Sykar]

Fancy forms?

 

[lukaszek]

for example, if I go rogue mechanist, then foregoing 3 levels of rogue to gain wraith sounds only half bad.

more int, dex, sneak die(so you only lose half of it), featherfall, being incorporal... sadly no ghost touch - only reason im having second thoughts. For that one yo uwould need 6th wiz lvl.
You gain more hp, self heals, some spell utility...
