Big difference between DDO and the game in the OP is that in DDO nothing is intuitive  ..... just building a character requires study. Granted there are predetermined paths you can use to get started but even vets look up the wiki for various enhancements and class perks/lvls. So in DDO the difficulty rating isn't just in EE's. (this is NOT a bad thing)

I wouldn't call that a negative but it is a big difference between the two games.


The downside to DDO's lack of intuitive usage is finding the quest giver for an at level quest you looked up in the journal. It can be a pain in the ass. Even for people that have previously played DDO and decided to come back.

That is a difficulty that DDO could do without.

The learning curve to be able to have fun in DDO has always been steep.

Though it has been lowered. The original starter area was unforgiving.

monk is boring. I don't know how you do it


It's the punching.  Every time I punched something in the face it felt good.

I never managed to enjoy casters before druids.  My 17/2/1 druid did end up being my favorite build, but I had so much gear and pastlives on munk it made since to play him often.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?
PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

Why the message boards never bestowed real quests was beyond me.  They could have been such a good idea, give them a maker pin on your map, and the message board displays and can bestow all quests available in it's respective house.

Instead they are completely useless.

You never heard from rogues dying in the trap of Euphonia's Rogue Challenge ?

I met legend build players who couldnt heal them self in heroic lvls, it was around lvl 10, easy to heal with just csw, also met legend build who didnt know what red window means.


Maybe because we call it Red Boxing or Window Farming.

Dipshit.
