Truth is beauty.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Anyone who buys ANYTHING from the DDO store before level 5 is a damn fool.

The only winning move is not to play [hardcore].
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

This is my first season giving it a try and after a couple hours I have a few take aways.

~ Pretty fun, makes me nostalgic for 2006-08
~ Experienced players used to blitzing forget basic shit like, examining chests before opening, and pay the price.
~ Some fuckers clearly make waaay more money than I do, or at least their parents do.
~ Really enjoying the sense of having to plan a campaign to get to 20.
     ~~Trying to figure what the safest bet grind build to twenty
     ~~Picking between offence and defence
     ~~Planning out which quests to focus on
     ~~Which items to farm
     ~~Group or not
     ~~Etc... lots, haven't spent that much time thinking before doing

~Guilds matter again
~It's exciting to loot and bust boxes
~My main triple-triple comp is a fucking beast.

I couldn't give a fuck about the epeen cosmetics or other rewards, but I really am enjoying the feeling that sucked me into this money pit of a game in the first place.

Sadly only scammers are "selling" boxes now. But if you do want to get scammed, I know a guy.

Just for the record, I bought ten stones from Dragonborn a few days back. Fair and civil trade which went smoothly

I enjoyed watching the mimics take them all out. There was this one arsehat that kept posting mimic in global chat everytime someone died to one then.... oops there goes another rubber tree plant! It was pretty funny seeing them drop to one.

It’s a nice change.  I laughed my ass off when the went from hardcore to softcore, but now, that they’ve swung that pendulum back so far that they’re in BDSM territory I’m Betty Crocker moist.

Building on this,

~A full weekend of permadeath play was pretty gripping, can't remember the last time the old sphincter was knotting up just because I stumbled into a dozen mobs during Manyshot cooldown.

~I am constantly fighting old habits that don't apply, stuff like reflexively farming items my toons won't use... for sales I don't need in one-off lives, and money and shards I don't need.

~I had to fully embrace the risk and roll the dice after I realized I had wasted almost an hour out of 3 hours play running back and forth offloading stuff to the bank so I wouldn't lose it if I die.

~The endless cascade of death notices is fucking hilarious, especially when several lv 6+ ones go at once... TPK!

~ It's easier to go without guild buffs when all that is available is lv35 stuff. Yet at the same time, it is great to see all the teaming up arranged.

~No teaming up for me. I believe I've been able to avoid lag (only one brief instance in the whole weekend) by going solo.

~Never enough AP, seriously, racial past lives have ruined me.

~The low lev Feywild gear is some kinda crazy OP. Was so busy RR'ing and playing at 16-20 I hadn't noticed. In some categories there just no fucking comparison.

The Gameplay is intense. 

Decisions really matter.

No shortcutting stuff of you die

House P buffs are awesome.
