i'm sick of you people. i am sick and tired of you. you will say monsters are too strong, others will say telegraph system would make things easy. whatever you suggest some low life forum dweller will pop up and try to prove how smart he or she is and oppose it. i am sick of you. so if mob hit you with 3k then you need a tell, right? but then you said....

so why do you freaking getting one-shotted then dimwit? can't you read tells? what's the problem? you can't focus? your attention span is just too short? from what you said so far, you should want a telegraph system, because they hit so hard and you keep getting one shotted.

i don't give a **** about that. go report a bug if they hit through walls. never happened to me.

There's two games in DDO as the Merkinspotter... well spotted.

there's the 1337 one where the game is... too easy.

then there's the casual one where the game is almost as hard as it was when it started.
( ok, at low level it has been quite watered down... Waterworks used to be unforgiving, even on normal )

Now in fact there's more than two games as :

there's also the bit somewhere in the middle where those that have ( the items, the old stuff, the quest knowledge ) allows them to play in the 13337 sandbox with characters that wouldn't be able to do it normally.

And last there's also those that just want to play it with friends for the fun... And don't care if they wipe, rule out over the mob or whatever as long as they are having fun with friends.

TL; DR: you can't please everybody in a game like DDO. The 1337 group is the most vocal, but also the smallest, so just let them whine.

yeah, somebody spent too much time in Neverwinter or other mainstream game.

When Minos start to rub foot on floor facing you, straight ahead charge he will. Take two steps to the left ( or the right ) to avoid Minos.

When Gnoll starts to wave club above head like a mad, expect Tripple Bash to happen.

Arrows DO NOT go through Rocks, Trees or any other Terrain Features, they also take some time between source and target and fly straight.
Don't stay in their path.



some of the things are so obvious.

Obvious to those with higher attention spans.

Are we playing the same Secret World? Cuz more dynamic combat is one thing that it lacks, especially if you compare it to DDO.

In secret world you have 8 active abilities that two weapons share, plus the one active for the aux weapon.

Dodging properly is problematic, I think I was able to dodge purposely 3 times. And blocking consists of passive abilities and hitting gear numbers, instead of active blocking like ddo.

And if you're talking about nightmare content in sw, the builds and gear start becoming very cookie cutter in my experience.

SW blows ddo away in alot of areas, but combat isn't one of them. And I wished sw had DDOs sneaking for their sabotage mission.

I like to jump over them. They stop charging almost immediately and it's only a short run to start attacking them from behind again. Plus, they're stuck in one spot for a moment making it even easier to wail away on them. The only thing to watch out for is if you jump over them while they're still rubbing their foot on the ground, then when they move after that, that movement will have the force of a full charge behind it. So, they have a chance in that instance to knock you away, knock you down, and deal some damage to you.

Ahh. Okay, I can agree with this.

IMO, the best boss fight in DDO is In the Flesh. OTOH, I'm also an odd duck that thinks that Spinners is one of the best structured quests in DDO. Both of those would fit nicely into Secret World.
