Wow, the nerdrage over DDO being down over the weekend was SO intense it seems to have taken down the website.

The main problem I have with LFMs on argo is that they generally advertise quests on normal (as opposed to elite) and/or they are usually put up by people who are one level underleveled for the the quest. It is more of a pet peeve from the days when we still had to manage our XP gains but it annoys the gently caress out of me nonetheless.

Fenris13 posted:Soooo yeah.. Cacoon at level 1, pretty loving hilarious. It is to bad that Cordovan finally acknowledged this bug yesterday, after over a year of its existence. Feather said they fixed the cannith bug too, but he was referring to master crafting not working so I am wondering if he didn't even know about the ml1 thing, and if there is any chance that will survive the imminent patch. So how does it work? (feel free to PM it to me) Did it have to do with having that twist swapping ability in fatesinger active?

Grab a couple of undead forms under the pale master tree. Grab Evocation or Conjuration from the Archmage tree (You can respec later, conjuration may be better at lower levels since it gives you web). For equipment you'll want a nullification item, a glaciation item, a combustion item, and a conjuration/evocation focus. Pretty much every quest will be you going into undead form, casting death aura, rounding up a bunch of mobs and jumping around in a firewall while they die. That's the great thing about the new enhancements system. You no longer choose between pale master and archmage, you take both!

Noricae posted:So.... if I'm still an Archmage, I'm missing out? Self healing is no issue, so I skipped opening the full line of Pale Master forms, especially since I'm not pure wiz. If you didn't take anything in the pale master tree you're missing out on 2 int (1 dc), free DR/slashing, extra hit points, and whatever else is there that you might find interesting.

Yeah, that blows. You've gotta be careful about feat selection nowadays if you value your twists. edit: \/\/ Nope. Resetting any feat can completely reset your EDs. Mine reset from PBS which isn't a pre-req for any ED stuff. Game_Whino fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Oct 16, 2013 |

Noricae posted:Yeah, they provide the illusion of rolling but no benefit of customization of stats at all. Best of both worlds. You can also put points only in the three stats they think are ok for your class. But yeah, there are many other issues, but it starts one minute into character generation basically The big reason to play Neverwinter is the user content. There are some real gems in the foundry (but isn't as much content being added as would be nice). The only capped dude I have in there is a Great weapon fighter. I tried cleric but gave up on it because pretty much any class is more fun to play than a cleric. Eh, I suppose if all else fails I could just go back to reading books and only playing MMOs to mess with people.

Gammon posted:- Unless you have a really good reason, be Lawful Good, not Lawful Neutral. Here's a really good reason that applies to everyone. By going good you open yourself up to taking a crapton more damage and a negative level from some really great weapons/items. You're usually better off going neutral and just UMDing stuff.

rodbeard posted:I wanted to try this game out because I've been on a 3rd edition DnD trip lately for some reason. How do I join the guild? I tend to not actually group up with anyone ever but it's nice being able to ask dumb questions and the OP mentioned free buffs. You just need to join type "/joinchannel goons neckbeards" into the chat and set incoming and outgoing chat to userchat1. You can set what chat you're posting to by right-clicking on the name of the chat window and selecting "userchat1" in the incoming and outgoing thing. Then just ask for an invite. Feel free to mooch xp off me next time I'm doing a TR and level into range of you.

Captain Pissweak posted:Hey, I'm just getting back into the game and I have a couple questions: 1. There probably just isn't anyone on right now. I'm staying away till I get some keyboard problems resolved (because my kids are assholes) 2. LoB should be on option on the multi-selector enhancement thing. If not, you might try rerolling as a bladeforged paladin. They're pretty badass and they get reconstruct as an SLA. As for wisdom, you should be fine as long as you have 6 and have ship buffs. You need 14 to cast zeal and the other level 4 paladin spells and 6(base)+6(item)+2(wis shrine)=14

DemonMage posted:It's not super active, but there's still people playing most every day. And yes the channel is the same, if you can't find someone on you can post a character name here for a guild invite to be mailed to you. I'll be back at some point soonish. My log in portal got borked and rather than downloading a new one I've just been playing Neverwinter since it actually works. So, as soon as my internet stays up long enough to actually re-download the game I'll be back.

I still use my epic antique greataxes at cap. (I imagine the esos would probably be even better) The big problem, as I see it, with the old epic items are that most of them are complete poo poo that aren't worth grinding. They weren't worth it under the old epic system and they still aren't worth it now. Nothing lost there really. As for being easy to get, I've got a ton of the new items that I want to get but have never gotten to drop for me despite ransacking stuff.

muizvoid posted:Plus the old epic quest required a lot of strategy and skill (in EE also). I'm not sure that "perch where mobs can't get you but you can hit mobs" counts as leet skills. The old epic quests required almost no skill or strategy to complete. It was all about abusing AI, stuck spots, and other such nonsense. The new epics seem a bit more active and fun than that (since cheese tactics aren't required) If you want to run the old epic system, go run stuff on EE.

It looks fun-ish. I don't understand why they didn't just make the eldritch damage go up every odd level and pact damage increase every even, but it's only like a single die difference either way. edit: Also, not seeing much in the way of self healing which could make melee-based warlocks kinda lovely until they hit epic levels.

Gammon posted:You guys are making we want to fire up DDO again. Between Witcher 3 and WoW I already lose all my free time. This is just going to make it worse...but Warlocks sound awesome, and I really need to finish that paladin life... There is no better time to finish a paladin life. Especially if you're a bladeforged. Paladins kick rear end now. I'm not sure what the breakdown would be between preview warlock and paladin, but I have a feeling it would be close dps-wise with all the different procs and such you can get (and of course, enervating strike stance develing red-nameds. I really hope that they don't fix that)

I'm gonna have soooo many toughnesses on my warlock. I'm tempted to do a full set of primal PLs too and then do my second and third warlock lives while out-HPing everyone but the barbs. I might still grab maximize for the cure mod since I don't have much in the way of healing amp gear at end game.

I silently judge anyone who has less HP than me in a pubbie party and sometimes in goon groups. If I know you don't have enough hp to survive a drop in the pit (and you aren't wearing featherfall) I will be greasing the walkway. I'm kind of a dick though, it's my thing.
