That's some rough pricing on the bundles. This went from top tier bundle instant purchase to "should I bother"? 100 bucks for the top or much more stuff in the bundles would have been fine but this is a lot.

Am I wrong in remembering that back prior to f2p that warforged were standard rather than premium? I guess at least I still have more than like 2 character slots, in any case.

I don't see any real reason to go past the basic bundle this time unless you really want the cosmetics. The vampire hunter outfit is cool but otherwise eh. Knife Fighter will be 500TP or unlockable with Ravenloft favor. Scourge Aasimar Ranger Iconic Hero will be purchasable with TP later if you really want it. The weapon aura is one glamered weapon per character, which is meh. Bottle of Mist is presumably really handy like the Eveningstar key, they haven't commented if it will be favor unlocked or not yet. +10 shared bank slots is an extra you can't buy elsewhere, but also it's pretty rare to need 200 shared bank slots (max with all upgrades + this).

DemonMage posted:Warforged were free for subscribing back then and are free for subscribing now. Well, everything was 'free for subscribing' back then. But thanks for clarifying. It's just funny that if I made a warforged back then I'd still have it, I guess. Oh well! (I never did a lifetime sub or anything for DDO, but I did for LOTRO back in the day) So I'm thinking of dragging a friend who never played DDO into this, is everythin gpretty viable with the normal stat blocks/point buy stuff, etc without paying into things? I don't mind some F2P monetization, but I prefer when it feels optional/cosmetics/content unlocks. Also, is there anything along the line of respeccing these days, vs making a new char? <-- This is a pretty lazy question, so apologies in advance.

You wouldn't be able to play a warforged you made pre-F2P without buying it or subscribing though. Just like if you subbed and made a Druid/Warlock and then dropped sub, you'd not be able to log onto that character without resubbing or buying. There's nothing you need to buy to make a character viable. 32 point can easily be unlocked via favor, and hearts for true reincarnating can be grinded out. And the majority of basic builds will work just fine with 28 point builds. Dual wield builds are a lot harder to pull off without 32-36 point builds. Maybe less so with all the ways to get dex to attack/damage these days. Lesser Hearts of Wood +X let you respec your build following the exact same class decisions you made, each + of the heart lets you swap one class level. So a 19/1 build could become a 20 build by using a +1 Lesser Heart. +0 just lets you swap stats/skills/feats around. However they're primarily only available via purchase, you can in theory get them as drops but they're super loving rare. Of course True Reincarnating will let you remake your character as a totally new build, with a bonus, at the cost of having to actually grind out the levels again  Feats can be swapped out via Siberys Dragonshard at Fred in House J, you can get a feat respec shard via 75 Agents of Argo favor as well. Or you can do it via astral shards aka paying. Which is really the big one anyways, unless you want to completely change your build which then it's mostly reasonable to pay or TR.

http://ddowiki.com/page/Reincarnation There is a chance your old character might have a +20 Lesser Heart of Wood in their inventory, you can use that to fully respec a character's classes, though if you're close to 20 you might want to consider a True Reincarnation, which completely resets your character to level 1 and gives a small skill bonus based on your previous class or race, depending on what type you choose.

For a guild invite, just post your character name here and someone should mail you an invite. This guide is pretty good if you want to make a ranged ranger: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/469213-quot-Strimtom-s-Acid-Arrow-quot-Maximum-Bow-DPS-F2P-new-player-Friendly

Ahh back to DDO for some fun action with me and a buddy. I swear even after all these years this game delivers a solid experience current MMO's should copy. So much content and for small groups too. Right on, this set of lives (our 4th total, I know I know not that many overall) I am playing a Monk with a splash of Rogue for some traps, and my buddy is going Favored Soul. Those new devotions are hot poo poo right now, and I can't wait to see what they do with the pass on the Artificer class next patch. I think our class combo is going to be him on the Artificer and me playing probably some sort of Mage-type. Sorcerer or Mage or Warlock, haven't quite decided yet though I see the Warlock is a drat beast!

Yeah Warlocks are pretty amazing. They're also updating Druids next patch as well as Artificers. So that might be a good magey type to combo.

drat those Druid changes look really awesome. I had always wanted to try out the animal form druids, not magey I know but drat they have always looked cool. My buddy played a caster style druid and he blow the crap out of almost everything Epic and Heroic. Have you had the chance to play the melee druid currently? I see lots of buffs and polish in those patch notes, so just curious how it is currently.

Ugh Favored Soul, why did you have to be the only casting class without Spell Like Abilities... Not going Epic on this combo. Wonder when they'll get around to making some changes for the Favored Soul, even with the new devotions it's just not good enough. Can't cast crap during a mission, though you can buff for days on end. Ahh well...

If you're Silver Flame, like me, you can use Searing Light once every six seconds! It's physically painful to be caster FvS and not having Exalted Angel active.

Oh man, my friend is the Favored Soul and he went Sovereign Host so... Gonna be slow going till 20 and then we'll reincarnate out of that sucka class. Next round though we are both going to be Warforged, him as an Artificer and myself most likely a Henshin Monk, though that is not 100%. Thinking about a 12 Ftr/6Warlock/2Ranger TWF crazy tank. Big thing going for that build is temp hp not being reduced by Warforged 50% reduction

Warforged Sorcerer is classic, and fun I think. Once you hit lvl 6 spells for Reconstruct and Acid Blast from Acid Savant (my favourite!) you're basically jumping around like a maniac throwing green blobs at everything. Reconstruct combos great with another WF duo buddy, too. 1-20 Favored Soul has a huge spell point pool and can make use of spells like Holy Smite and Greater Command and Blade Barrier to great effect. The Searing Light thing I have is from FvS capstone for Silver Flame. Turns out the Cleric domain that has it gets it for 4 SP and 4 seconds much earlier, instead of 6 seconds like I do at level 20+.  Edit: I'm doing the Ravenloft quests on Heroic and the items are pure insanity for minimum level 10. A ring with +5 necromancy DCs, 112 spell points, and a green slot. Am I just out of the loop since I haven't played in quite a while? srb fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Apr 13, 2018 |

Just playing a bit myself after a long break and I am loving Ravenloft. Holy crap what an awesome x-pack. Personally love the music, and ambiance with the zones. So quietly menacing. The quests are done quite well and not overly hard so far (10's and 11's done) unlike Elemental Evil and Slavers can be on Elite. Especially if your not decked out. The items though, hoo boy. Those Barovian Weapons are something special. Found two already beyond the one your given for free. Every life will now immediately go to Ravenloft at level 10 to get that weapon and I doubt I will swap it out till 20.

Just because I love this drat game so much, just reincarnated with a build I have been dying to try for a long time. Warforged Monk 12/Fighter 4/Wizard 4. Tanky, high dps from the Handwraps (Shintao focused to avoid the nerfs), and plenty of spell support to make it fix nicely over that lack of armor. Shield/Nightshield, Blue plus a few assorted others. The real nice thing is cracking into the Eldritch Knight tree from Wizard for the extra tankiness, and Kensai from the Fighter tree for the speed buff and tactical DC enhancements. I cannot wait to tank and CC everyone! Woot for Jade Prison working on some stun immune bosses!!!

I think those are just the base versions. Better to buy the Collector's Editions on their site when they go on sale at Christmas. I'd recommend the Starter Pack to anyone who doesn't have Catacombs. Catacombs and 250 cash shop points for $1.50 is a good deal.

I really love this game but always find myself stymied around level 8-9 or so at which point the magic starts to wear off and I either leave for a few months or reroll a new character to go wander around Korthos and the early levels (Market, early Houses) again. Is there any advice for breaking through to the rest of the game?

Play with a group. Also find a fun build that gets off the ground early. Normally most builds are still pretty boring at 8.

There's a lot of room for growth on their DLC offerings. They could lump the Xoriat Adventure Packs together as one, Shavarath's as another, all the low level APs as another, etc. They could sell a complete Monster Manual. Every premium class as a DLC, same for races and iconics. I really like this game and enjoy coming back to it for a bit every year or two and I wish they'd put a bit more effort into attracting players.

Ravenloft is:
The quest levels are: In the Shadow of the Castle: 4 10/31 The Vampire Hunters: 4 11/31 The Light of the Land 4 12/31s And then two raids that are just level 32 (Strahd and Baba Lysaga) I could see that chain easily getting you a couple levels, and it's newer so it's probably more fun (haven't touched Ravenlost yet kind of sadly). Also the latest patch added 5 14/31 quests (premium pack). So you should be able to make it through that kind of lovely pre-Attack on Stormreach time without having to rely on Necro too much hopefully. And of course the newer quests have insane loot compared to the old stuff.

Not really, for leveling purposes I usually just do sort by xp then sort by level in the wiki and run one or two under. but yeah, from 10 till 13 or 14 I usually hit ravenloft. It's awesome for the items if nothing else. If you get through the decent xp quests in your range you might get stuck, but with daily bonuses you'll get through it fairly quickly if you just repeat the best xp quests every day till you ding the next level.

Trying this out as F2P right now; I'm pretty interested in the late-game theorycrafting and variety of builds, but I'm at the end of the intro island's quests and the basic gameplay's already starting to lose its luslter. (Made a warpriest Cleric to start and she pretty much blends through everything and can't die, so maybe I made it too easy...). Does it pick up soon, or is there a way to power through the lower levels efficiently, or maybe a different build to try that involves a little more than "stand still and wave sword until everything stops moving"? (also blargh please tell me the armors eventually look better than literally just a "plate mail" texture on my character model)
