The fact that you’re entirely too fucking stupid to come up with new material makes me laugh.


You're a bore.

Mom jokes > you.

A micropenis-wielding cuck like you isn’t even remotely close to being qualified enough to talk about even the most shallow of boring.

So, you might as well go back to curling up in the fetal position like the frazzled, whiney bitch you truly are.

This is your response AFTER editing?!

All this talk about little dicks and being a bitch - you might be projecting, precious.

Only edited because my drunk ass typed that shit out on my phone at a bar with some annoying bitch trying to talk my ear off...spellcheck made cuck into cucumber. 

Nice try with that projection bit though.  Yet again, a micropenis-wielding cuck such as yourself wouldn’t know the first thing about projecting anything.

Does no one else do alts anymore? I have characters that I TR and characters that I keep at cap for raiding/reaper. Sometimes they switch places. Decide which to log in after looking at the LFM.


I tried alts but the power difference between my "everything a zillionX totally completionist" main and my alts generally means the alts can't do much. They try real hard though.

One of my better raiding characters is still first life. Endgame power is mostly gear and build.

Yes but the problem was I was raiding to farm runes for my main, so the alts were not well-geared Tongue but yeah I went on raids anyway, probably raid way more on my alts than my main.

What would be your proposed reward for completing reaper mode, if not increased XP?

(genuinely curious, I like to hear other people's opinions on game design)


The idea is that reaper mode is something you do starting at cap.  It's not a "leveling up" difficulty, you have to be 30 to play in reaper.  At cap, increased standard XP isn't worthwhile unless you're still working on destinies, and those will cap out far before you're done running epic past lives.

Normal and Hard are what you run when you're learning the game.  Elite is what you run for most effecient past life leveling.  Reaper is what you run when you hit cap and want to use all that power that you just obtained (legendary items, raid items, etc) in progressively more challenging content.

I wholeheartedly agree... if only everyone else did though. But Bravery Bonus ruined everything about this paradigm. And reaper exp bonus made it worse.

Back in the day, first lifers such as myself would run N/H/E, progressively getting to know the quests better... because there was no bravery bonus. This encouraged us to be more patient and intelligent players because we were actually encouraged to learn the quests and gradually get better at the game. Sure, TRs took longer, but we were better players because of it. But then Bravery Bonus happened... and then Reaper bonus happened... and suddenly, nobody has any incentive to run N/H/E. 95% of DDO's players are existing players powerleveling through TRs/RRs, or sitting at cap. Try putting up a LFM for Elite. See how far that gets you.

Imagine how it'd be for a newbie these days. Nobody will group with you if you're doing normal or hard. (This isn't helped by DDO's abysmal population which has been steadily dwindling.) And when a new player DOES want to find a group, they'll have to join a R1 group and promptly get steamrolled by reapers and/or just watch their teammates with 600+ lives roflstomp everything, while they flail around and can't contribute. This all results in a vicious cycle wherein new players will either quit DDO out of frustration, or stubbornly stick to running difficulties for which they're woefully underqualified.

It also means that you're incented to TR to get maximum Reaper XP so you can reset your first time run bonuses.  TRing should have nothing to do with reaper progression, and triple everything completionists shouldn't be able to endlessly TR to make reaper XP easier / faster to obtain.

The ladder for reaper points in Hardcore shows how rediculous it is.  The advantage people have using store bought pots and running legendary quests for double reaper XP is massive.  Changing the paradigm to "reaper at cap" also allows you to get rid of all of the bonuses (legendary, xp pots, first time) and have skull increases be the only way to increase XP gain.

Lol.  I expected nothing less when I frustratedly posted this one drunken night to rage out in childlike fashion because I wanted to play a game in a time where I wasn’t bothered by spouse or children (which is precious time!) and was wasted because there wasn’t a damn thing to do on the character I felt like playing.  Part of this is because I am capped and completed, leaving little other to do other than raid or RXP. 

Full disclosure, this post isn’t much more sober than my original, which also shouldn’t be associated with my overall drinking frequency given the span between posts, but rather associated with the trend of the state  of mind I have been posting with lately.  That aside, although my most honest self wants to crush rxp to get them all, I am trying to remember that the end of the road holds mostly boredom.

So basically this is a cry for people to say wtf obscure things or items you are Pershing to give direction and interest that I possibly don’t know about due to my many years away.  I felt that this point was fairly plain to see between the lines knowing that I am not the only one here who speaks the drunk language, and that many can relate to my plight and suggest ways they have fixed it like ddoa meeting.  WTF guys, help a brother out, I don’t care who’s penis is bigger…

The only thing missing from it being a fag fight is you. 

Seriously, you might as well back to hiding out in shit infested alleys giving out handjobs for food like you’ve been doing the last couple of weeks.

XP gets tough because the way its split up goes up exponentially, leading to a scenario in which as a player you quickly reach a point where earning even 1 additional point requires days or weeks of commitment. That's fine for the dick-in-a-pencil-sharpener grinders who play 80 hours a week, but not so great a goal for the rest of us. I already don't like repaer. My main and most-played character has something like 17 reaper points. Getting to 18 would require many many hours of gameplay I don't enjoy. Why should I do this? SSG not only doesn't have an answer, they don't have an alternative for me.

Collecting items would be a lot of fun except for the massive inventory crunch and the minor side-note that nearly everything of interest has an obscenely low drop-rate. Or you have the clearly broken loot-tables that make even casual collecting of common items a heavy-weight dick-punch. A while back I tried to pick up a Devil's Handiwork set for one of my chest-puller accounts, literally only because it was "something to do" and it seemed like fun. Took my 90 fucking runs to get an Ivy Helix, and got 27 Laurel Helixs along the way(it might have been reversed, who remembers?) this was with 6 chest-pullers.

So sometimes I just go and ride my horse along the trail. Except I can't even do THAT, because nothing ever breaks fucking agro so I have to stop, dismount, backtrack until I can kill the damn ranged mob halfway across the map... yeah.

I haven't barely logged in to DDO since summer started. I think the ride is over.

  

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.
