I've never quit DDO!
I haven't quit DDO yet either, I just said I'm taking a break!
I may not come back to the game but I'll still be around the forums so anyone who wants to message me with Guild Updates can do so in the knowledge that I will update those threads
.
The threads won't be as relevant of course because most Guilds I have to check on personally and I likely won't be doing that.
I'll still keep my characters logged on once a month too - And I'll try to finish Nalpheyn's Video Life for YouTube.
I'm just fed up of the game being so heavily aimed at the Elite and I can't ever see myself getting any character to a level I'm actually happy with anymore {I COULD see that happening pre Reaper/Racial but not any more}.
FYI. The difficulty of the game has not been increased since they added reaper/racial. In fact the difficulty has been lowered.
the new Barovian quests are very easy on Legendary Elite compared to the last 2 or 3 content updates of LE content.
Now, reaper is more difficult, but you don't have to do quests on Reaper. Your previous objections were that YOU HAD TO DO ELITE TO GET ALL THE FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry I didn't use as many exclamation points as you normally do... hopefully the above is still readable to you).
Doing reaper isn't necessary for all the favor. It isn't necessary to do Raids.
You don't need racial past lives to complete most LE quests. The only LE quest current that will kill you (and most people with all the past lives and reaper points is Tower of Frost).
As has been shown to you many times, your ability to do quests on elite is not because your character does not have enough past lives or enough of the right gear... it's your actual ability to play a game well that includes the "real-time combat" of this game.
Until you decide to play with a keyboard and mouse and get good at that, you will never have a "powerful" enough character. I would imagine someone could gift you with a quad/triple completionist and 60 reaper AP, and you'd like still struggle like you do today.
not trying to insult you. You just have shown (through your videos and questions and complaining) that you don't have the hand-eye coordination necessary, and you apparently can't learn the best tactics to use in different quests/scenarios.
