Honestly, they are moving in the right direction (from what I've heard ravenloft is shaping up to be worthy of an expansion label). U36 will have a lot of bug fixes - some of which I've been asking for for years.

Biggest con to the game atm is the complete total failure of SSG's customer service.

When you go far enough in the wrong direction, it becomes harder to find ways to keep going wrong. Turbine did, through managerial excellence at choosing poorly. SSG does not meet that same dependable standard of excellence. Manager burn out? Fewer overall employees resulted in fewer things fucked up? Accidentally fucked up hiring policies and let some competent people in? There are a lot of possible explanations. It doesn't mean they don't still aspire to have a 100% fuck up rate.

agree with the above

Number 1 thing.
Level up your cannith crafting efficiently (see a guide) and go for that gear.

It's best bang for buck in terms of time spent, and it makes up for missing past lives in heroics. Stick with friends for Reaper, and don't get sucked into the TR grind. (It's not worth it!)

Fuck the old broad a couple times and then dump her if you need to. The combat is still fresh after all these years for me. Kinda unreal.

lack of people playing is a bit of a bummer but actually as long as you know 5-10 people who play you're fine (in game)

Even more grind then before /reaper and racial tring, even less ballance then before, even less players then before, some massive dupe bugs fixes.

Imho why bother, rather buy yourself bdo and chill there while braindead farming (that is the only reason you would want to play ddo, braindead farming), as you will at least do it with extremely pretty graphics and really good pvp.
Or pick bns, there at least you can actually play a skill based game and not a warlock coaster game.

Not doom post, but more a nah dude dont come back its still not a proper place to waste your time as they really havent moved into the correct direction.

I don't have trouble getting in groups on Khyber, but I play during US prime hours, mostly. (Of course, a group might mean 3-4.  For six man content, people are rarely worried about filling groups, except on buddy weekends, but to me that is fine.) 

Raids are harder to fill, outside of L-Shroud or TS.  Not many people are doing a ton of raiding.

Minesweeper LARRP has replaced Pacman LARRP.
Since Minesweeper only needs one person to setup the board and another to play the game, productivity at SSG has increased!

u36 looks like it will be really good, at the very least check back after that.

If you're looking for a decent game I would never pick an MMO, but if you're looking for a decent MMO DDO is one of your only choices. That's just what I found after trying out a bunch to find one that me and my DDO guildmates could go to. We eventually wound back up in DDO, cause as incompetent as the devs can be, it's still pretty great.

I actually found this "grind" to be liberating...

I completely don't care about the grind... I can meander through the game not giving a single fuck about stacking Past Lives to "Triple completionist everything" since it's so far down the line I can't even see light at the end of the tunnel.

Also, Heroics have bodies again, which is good. Because there are fewer and fewer people than before. Although, I have seen some old players creeping back in from long absences.

Also: fuck epics. (See the thread about SR 91 mobs in new content. You know that shit will get pushed to live unchanged.)

Arty is looking to be the new Mob-Hammer for Heroics. Warlock will still be fun, you'll just need better building skills than "None at All" to roll one and be effective now.

As for the dupe fixes... I am always a day late and a dollar short on those.

I'm still waiting for a PM on Fire Caves...  Grin
