Feedback: Favored Soul 101 (Work in Progress)
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=328859

This is something that I think Turbine is doing right. It got off to a rough start, but in the end these are turning out to be fairly playable characters. The community input is well received by FordyTwo.

This is a good opportunity for us to encourage this type of behavior. Smiley

But I can dodge it, because I traded CON for an uber DEX!

Never thought I would see that from the vault. I hope it keeps going.

Most people here care about the game and want it to be successful. I also know that a lot of the people on the Vault will help a new person. I came in with F2P, so I learned that first hand.

Sometimes the help comes in the form of a punch to the skull.

It's far from the first time we gave credit where credit was due.  If you read more and posted ponies less you might get a clue.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

I have a 3 step program to help newbs.

1.  Teach them in a somewhat respectful manner.  Failing that:
2.  Punch in the skull.  Failing that:
3.  Dub them noob and mock and ridicule them until they hate the game and quit.

The last couple were pretty good from the start, but this one is pretty awful.  It's good it's a feedback thread, instead of straight toon article like those early ones.

I predict some quality "OMG FvS don't have to heal!" derp...

Hopefully Turbine will put this up as "Helping Noobs 101."

Look at with the idea of "is it playable?", "will it contribute?", and "can a new person make this work with limited resources?".

TWF might be tough to pull off and is harder to equip. I don't really play elves, but don't they get some Falchion enhancements?

Playable?  Yes, pretty hard to make something unplayable.  Will it contribute?  Not much.  Its healing isn't worth much of anything, and its DPS will be somewhere around "Rogue without sneak attack".  Work with limited resources?  "Work" is relative, but this does not look easy to gear up.

As for Falchions, Elves get enhancements, unfortunately Elf FvS gets nothing.  Just Scimitar proficiency and bonus attack/damage.  I think it would be great if they added Falchion as an alternative to Scimitars for Undying Court FvS, but currently, if you want to be a melee FvS, WF is tops, and Human is a consolation prize.  Anything else is pretty questionable.

You don't get irritated unless you
a- care enough about it, and
b- know they can do better.

At least, I don't expect a retard to build a space shuttle. Maybe other folks are different.
