General Discussion

I have played beta and this game is so far so actual games with more time on line, example WOW or Everquest, GW. Probably, If this game wasn't suported by D&D trademark. Their time life not exceded more than few months. Sorry, i wished you developed a great game but you wasted your opportunity.

Obiously, i won't to spend my money in this game. I was waitng a long time for this DDO and Turbine doesn't reach my expectative.

Sorry guys,

This latest Q&A continues to lower my confidence in this game.   I agree with the above poster that with the limited world and instancing, it just wont hold my attention that long like SWG did or WOW.  I think it will be fun those first few months but the staying power is very limited. 

I was hoping for a overhaul, maybe some new thinking, but this new Q&A does not give me much hope.  I'm sorry to say that I too will not be playing D&D.  Its a shame, I grew up with the PnP and was looking forward to this online, but I most likely just get NWN 2 for my fix. 

Really to bad i cannot cancel my preorder at Gamestop anymore.
After playing the stress tests and the beta i do not like this game at all and i had much hope because it was based in the D&D ruleset.
The combat system is boring and experience only by doing quests is a very bad choice.
I am afraid this will be another flop for Turbine after AC2.

  I haven't played the game but i was very much anticipating the D&D title.  After reading all the bad reviews, it looks like i will be passing this game by.  

Fully instanced?  People want a world to explore, alone or with friends.   We want choices.  That's the main mistake with alot of these MMORPG's,  they limit the players choices to an extreme.

AGhh.. i really wanted this game to be good...

Add one more to the disappointment list. The dungeon crawls were boring, though true - many lower levels of games are. Storyline was OK, but there should be a little solo content. I like grouping with people, but not all the time. This game makes it a necessity. Stress test did not hold my interest long enough to play all the time I had available to me. Not true of WoW, or others I have played in.

I will admit, the changes he mentions were definitely seen in the beta. However, much of the ado at the boards was about the solo content and the repeat instancing. Keith has not changed his mind since one of the early interviews. Making this as much like the tabletop as possible in a mmo is the best they can do. His idea of repeating to "mastering" the dungeon falls short of several options. Strictly dungeons only was disappointing and claustrophobic.  I would have thot tho allowing for the sights and sounds of such adventures would include trips through forests, caves, tunnels, draped in intrigue and danger every step of the way. Imagine it! Being able to actually SEE what the whole group of you is going through and being acted out on the screen! But alas, my expectations were too high. :(

As a stealther tho I did enjoy the low level dungeons solo tremendously.  Doing them again and again tho really didnt appeal. Every time you went in, the mobs were in the same place, the traps were in the same place, no real "challenge to master" at all. 

They may have listened to a few important changes that needed to be done anyway but they arent listening to what they dont want to hear.  

That seemed a needlessly aggressive interview... Professionalism!

Yeah you can tell the interviewer didn't like DDO but tries to recover at the end
