ive made 2 a rouge with a spalsh of monk  i hated it , and a 4 rouge 16 monkey  that was just great rouge lvls up front for the extra skill points , and so you can skip the rouge part  on the boat

.

 ok ok i get it now im sorry you didnt know what a trap monkey is , totally my fault  . i had assumed the slang was the same from serv. to serv. i forgot the rule of what happens when one assumes.

the trap monkey is  trap- rouge of course and monkey  - for monk ..  if he takes his trap befor monkey  by lvl 12 he could out dps a warrior  but untill atleast 14 kind a bit squishy

 spoken freely by one of the 6 players that were let keep there closed beta test accounts with out a account wipe.

im the only one complaining ? look dude  maybe is cuz im the only one here the games flopped so hard even the beta keys are not being picked up.

 1 failure game wants to be pvp game  has no pvp lvl restrictions  you handfull that got to keep your closed beta accounts lvl 100+ account  were 90% are in the  lvl 30 range  with a handfull of lvl 50-60s  . lvl 100+ vs lvl 30 yep thats fair pvp gaming

2 failure no death cool down timer you get killed by one of the few  that kept there accounts  un wiped from closed beta testing  get your self out of the hospital and  welp there the same  jack ass kills you again with in a few sec.

3 failure while your dead your locked out of every aspect f the game . you cant  gain exp , train stats nothing .

4 failure death hospital time is 1 real hour  in which you get  10-20 sec to play then your killed again  by one of the handfull that  got to keep the closed beta testing accounts unwiped  in the games open

 and please read the forums in the game befor you call others liers. your " o im sorry your not claiming the game now" games own forums  . there ya  go whats the admins sugestion , ? ahhh yes you can  buy protection then you cant be killed..  does he assume you can magicaly make your self find 2million money ingame per 10 mins to pay iname for protection . dont be foolish it cant be done. so his intention is give us $2.00 usd per hour and you  wont be killed any more.

 Is not the game paying  the players that kill the most low lvl new toons in 1 week $2.00 usd  for them and every member of there gang?  Buy giving them all free 1 week  cash shop items.

 So please do tell what part of my post is a lie ?

you should get upset becouse the game is doing this not becouse someone told the public  what they were doing

 if your playing this game for a once in a while game its great. the pve drops  its standards at around lvl 40. the monsters just grow more and more generic . but honestly this is ok this is a pvp based game with 90% of the game geared tords PVP. your first major problems wont come into play untill after you start doing wars  , the big dawg cash shop users will 1 hit  you with ease , and the lag in  these areas is  great,  next when you hit the lvl 50+ grind areas you will be greeted by a marching band of bots .every non - agrro mob spawn will have a bot at it anywhere  you do on the pve maps , if  you switch to the pve maps to grind you will be quickly killed every few mins by drive by honor farmers and or  partys  seaking to steal your nations relics.

 For some odd reason nothing at all is done to reduce the bots in the pve serv. and when asked why they donot remove these bots , your standard message is use the pvp serv. as it is bot free. so  your 2 opptions are go to pvp to grind and get killed every 5-10 mins or go to pve to grind and race bots for kills. for me i could not deal  with opption 1 or 2

 the last biggy is the game owners are only letting the game out in stages .. not a big prob in its self , but the game was not coded to be released in the stages they are releasing it , when you near cap there are quest pick ups and drop offs you can not get to beings therebehind a locked area. these  unaccessable quest make you have to grind more in a game not set up for grinding past lvl 30. with the  flux of botters to try to grind is more work than ts worth.

 If your just going to play this game for fun and not try at all to be competative you can have a good time till around lvl 40. past that its mega cash shop to mega your gear and weapons , cash shop pots and exp boosters  and run shortman dungeon instances many lvls befor there ez to free players. or just give up .

 Now if agames fun and fair ive no prob spending a bit on cash shop , yet the way this game is being run is far from fair. content is already in place past lvl 90 , yet there slow releasing to get the got to have it players to  max upgrade  weapons/gear , that any  1/2 smart player knows not to do till  near end game. the sad thing is its working so this slow release will be the reg. for this game . im sorry even at end game a max upgrade wep is not worth $200.00+ " the Avg. cost of a max upgrade at current cap "

 a trap monkey can do  ok damage them selfs , just poor def . unless your playing instances on super ez mode you really need a trap monkey

 Any melee can take a level or two of rogue and take care of traps with no problem. There is no need for a trap monkey, hell almost all of DDO traps can be avoided or survived quite easily.

 if your going to go melee rouge slash your best off with the trap monkey ..  just the fact that you cant wear any armor at all leaves your def. kind of weak till around lvl 16 then your a peacock .

 dude your ends most likely fine . so many players want to get in beings the games now free theres going to be steady waves of near serv. crashs for the 1st week.. It was the same hell when DDO did this , the mass waves will only last a week or 2 , 4 weeks or so for weekend warriors .  then the botter hopefuls will see theres no point in botting , the  make tons of accounts to transfer cash shop points from account to account players will find out points dont transfer , and the spammers will see open chat isnt used in this game . then  the serv. will be back to right.

ya you need  3 accounts to play both games  1 turbine account " covers both" 1 ddo account and 1 lorto account.

it only takes 2 mins to make your lotro account

 the life sub is gone i think if not gone i could not find it . if  this opption is still open please provide a link

 did you forget to restart your  pc after the game  finished its install of the game?   and dont forgt to open your CCcleaner block then uninstall pando media booster after your install is finished and befor  you restart your system .  Ive seen then pando media booster kick in while i was in game befor , " In DDO " and jump right to 150,000K  in the task manager  processes . unless you have a  wonderful top of the line system this will lag you to death.

 ok i knocked it down to $99.98  i kicked  the extra toon slots off  the list for now . i just bought everything , but i have only 4 toon slots not 10  ill just buy a few slots as i go ,  im not super big on pvp anyhow so the loss of monster play its  really no biggy . locked swift movement  wont matter soon i already plan to buy a perm mount .

 I spent a few hours on a new toon last night just running around killing stuff  , and ended up with 30 cash shop points . im thinking if this rate holds steady i can  buy toon slots with free points at a rate of about 1 slot  per 2 weeks . Really after  turning off th game , sitting down and thinking about it . it was in my best intrest to buy out right the maps , packs, races, storages, " all the perm items"  , and open myself up for play as i please with out a incomming monthly bill . i know it sounds cheap , 1 trip to the movies will cost you more than $15.00 so if you play for 2 hours a month , you have the same entertainment value , But in these economic times i feel justified in being cheap.

 i still cant think if this  is a better way to go or not

 i had  2 buddies i used to play this game with every day . it was a husband and wife  team  , one played the favored soul " ok attack , ok deff. and  healer plenty to keep 2 players up" the other played a trap monkey .    Now the 2 of them could get threw almost any instance just the 2 of them but at times the going was slow.  

 a trap monkey can do  ok damage them selfs , just poor def . unless your playing instances on super ez mode you really need a trap monkey

 what you get for  haveing bought the game  befor  F2P

1 . 4 toon slots where  the free players get 2

2 . unlimited money on your toons .,, free players can hold only a small amount of money at 1 time.

3. full use of the auction house ... free players get 1 auction item  in house at a time.

4. priority log in incase of serv.  overload

5. a small bit of customer support  ... free players get auto directed to FAQ

also i think i got a welcome back gift of some kind the day i logged back in to my  account weeks after free to play opened a syb cake or something. its been like a year im old and my memery is bad

 if you want to drop your sub / or F2P comming in  wants to skip sub altogether  , the  cost would ba 17.200 point  the cheapers way to get the points would be  3x the 49.99 packs that give 6,900  each so the cost would be $149.97 with a remandor of 3,500 points.

 This is adding everything in 10 toon slots bank maps everything you would need from the start of a premo account.

 swift movement and monster play would be lost to you and the perm mounts are not yet in the cash shop . Im sure the perm mounts will run 2k points at the least  , so your left over will be plent to cover it once they hit the market

have a good one

 it was ok for abit the steady daily changes werent even tha bad . as of yesterday theres a new twist to the game high lvl accounts "the cbt accounts were not wiped on mass launch" are now paid to kill the lower lvl toons . when your killed you have 2 opptions  . 1st still in the hospital for 1 real time hour , or 2nd pay 1million money to get out.   now  a payer can ez make  5m money a day so you would think 1m not bad.  with in 30 sec of getting out the hospital your dead again.

 O but wait . the game makers say  you dont want the high lvls to  none stop kill you pay us $2.00 usd per hour and we will give you protection from those mean high levels that we are paying to kill you.

 Ya thats a end gamer there.

 not streesing a bit . and there is not 1 english speaking mmorpg on the market ive not played for at bare min  14 days.

the poster that went behind my reveiw figured the OP would not return to his post , as poor/substandered  game reveiw post are most often left by the OP. so 2nd poster felt the need to suger coat  the OP with misconseptions and half truths. there for i had need to retort.

 you can bottom line all this in 1 line of type.

 Any mmo that lets high lvl toons gain exp/sp/or drops from low lvl monsters is a failure game.

ill continue for 4 days more on this game i expect no changes tho , i give even the worst set up game  a 2 week trial , and i make every attempt to give it 4 hours a day over that 2 weeks.

Fyi post creation adds to outfits and face costing many millions of in game dollars are not  toon opptions its a gold sink . 2nd how is a new player  suppost to come up with these millions  face change allown is $500,000.00 . there is no set up for new players to make any for on income what so ever .

A lot of people turn off the broadcast since there's so many irrelevant messages flying across the screen such as random chatter and WTB/WTS.  If turned off, your message on broadcast may only appear for a few seconds on the left side depending on whether there are other System messages being displayed. which = chat worthless to new players correct just as i said

If you have questions, you can always start a thread in either the official forums or wiki. o  so hit a stuck point and your done game over till some one some where goes to this games unused forums  to answer your question? thats a failure.

What server are you playing on?  I haven't seen players waste spinelles like that for a long time in Bristia.  Don't know about Orpesia or Illier though.  On Bristia, if we became aware of a level 100 monster in a low level area, we make an effort to defeat it since they can drop something good. Orpesia i have never 1 time stepped  to the 1st dungeon  entry with out 1-5 lvl 100 monsters sitting there to greet me

I'd like to see that chain glitch in action.  It's the first I've heard of it. really - its on the wiki for this game  1st entr for known issues.

What map are you referring to where the high levels are taking over the map?  The maps below level 100 tend to be quite empty on Bristia.  All the high levels are in Caebolean, Bahamar Underground, and other high level maps grinding to Expert or Master. 10-25 dungeon  20-45 dungeon  . " grinding areas"

Yea, the help windows are useless.  Haven't really looked that them.

There are less than a half dozen stance (skill) books on the cash shop and they are for hard to get UPCs like Nar and Ania.  All the other dozens of stance books are brought with vis (in game currency) or indirectly via the player market (via Mysterious Powder).  since it requires a high level family with good equipment to even get those UPCs, you wouldn't be getting those particular cash shop stance books in a long time. i dont think you fully read this part befor posting it

Yes, unfortunately the boss monsters may be covered due to an expansion earlier this year that gave the boss monsters a 1/50 chance of dropping Symbols (rare and very expensive).  This doesn't hurt with your quests involving those bosses though since those will be instance battles. do you now why monsters all have diff  levels? its so diff level players  can experience the game , not so a handfull of ass monkeys can spam farm everything that gives a low lvl a chance to make any money.

A new player should not craft anything until they reach level 100.  Before that, they should be using Polishers to trade for Ancestral equipment.  Ancestral equipment outclass everything until about level 84.  The Polishers are obtained as quest rewards.who are you to tell new player what they should and should not do? is  there account not there game ? if they want to craft and not grind whats it to you ?

Are you picking up all the monster drops and selling them to the NPCs?  If not, you're letting money disappear.  The mob drops more than cover the cost of bullets and teleportation costs. again i think you didnt read or understand . click click click im lined up with a drop item  click 1 didnt pick up  i just walked dam it  click 2  dam it it clicked my  toon  now i got to swap leaders back click 3 clickd pet shit on toast  dam that  drop  ......  and this is how a click click click game really goes unless you  buy a pet thats auto pick up really works from the cash shop


There's World chat (viewable by anyone physically nearby), Personal chat (opens a seperate window to the person you're chatting with anywhere in the world), Squad chat (equivalent to party chat in other games), Group chat (like Squad chat but without being in a squad), and Clan chat.  The easiest way for a new person to draw attention and chat with people is to use Personal chat (hard to ignore) or World chat while in a crowded town.so your sugestion to void of  chat for new playes is for the new player  to just send random pms to random players running by them. im sorry  your system is cracked

What is pug partying?  Most people use Clan or Squad chat.  pug = pull up group as a new player has no clan and no chat function  a mass of rude / disrespectful players all around theres no way for 1 new player to find other new players.

Don't create any of the UPCs (the NPCs you're referring to).  As a new player, just concentrate on getting 3 characters to level 100 and beyond.  A lot of people don't create the UPCs and rely on friends to do the crafting.  You just need 1 friend or one clanmate with the crafter and you'll be set.  The most popular crafter that just about every family has is Grace Bernelli and that's not because she is a crafter.again who are you to tell me  how to play my game. it is my game not yours to play.

2nd have i not already said this player base is rude not only rude but by far the rudest ever seen in any mmo , the player base of this game makes WoW 's player base seam down right friendly

I use F1, F2, and F3 to swap leaders.  Should really read up on how to use the various keys of the keyboard so that you don't have to click so much.  I don't even touch the mouse to pick up drops or to attack.  Just about every single key on the keyboard is used in some way.wonderful you bought a cash shop pet that works better than  the crap chicken new players get....... wonderful wonderful you dont click to attack  you mass auto attack  great you let your game play its self . theres great pride in doing nothing  at all to cap stone a account

There are lots of customization.  Many dozens of body costumes, back costumes, hats, and hair.  The stock characters can even change their faces (although the new faces look more Asian).  I have yet to see any other family with my characters' appearance in months.
no theres not this is a lie ,
You gain stat points to assign when you promote your character at level 100, 110, and 120.  Hence the whole reason on concentrating on 3 characters to level 100.to  little to late im not going to play a cookie cutter crunch for 100+ levels

Yes, the client is huge but that's expected since the world is large with so many different textures and soundtracks.

the sound tracks all suck balls and best deleted to recover more space untill  you uninstall this game. textures lol there are none its the same generic over lay , over , and over . to reduce lag in the case of this game  magicly creates hype and tons of plays flock in to play

 I went back and down loaded this game last week . ive play 4 hours a day for the last 9 days in a row.  The game  has some great points , but by far the bad out weights them.

 first and worst . the player base is the rudest i have even seen in any game in my entire life. if you  have a question that can not be found on wiki or the help box , you can shout till your blue in the face no one is going to answer you.

 The rude goes way past the non - helpful .. in game from time to time monsters drop stones that allow you to summon said monster in any spot outside of  town . High lvl player take this for the most part worthless stones to the entry points of low lvl grinding areas and release them and go away. so when a low lvl 8-30 trys to enter or leave the area they get a wash over lvl 100+ monsters to 1 shot kill them at the spawn point.

 Next high lvls have fun by going into the low lvl grind areas and running  from 1 end to the other pulling in all the agro of the map to chase them. when the chain gets to long the monsters all glitch , and run  a prem loop even after the high lvl has left. Any low lvl that  trys to attack the monsters in the glitch chain finds his/her toons spread out acrost the map and each allown quickly killed.

 More  wonderful fun high lvls still get drops from killing low lvl monsters , so when the feel like farming crafting mats they just push in and take the whole map . dam the low lvls your done playing over cuz there setting up afk auto attacks and going out , low lvls will get no more kills in this area.

 2nd Most the help windows are stil in korean ,  need no say more on this one

 3rd if you want  more than base worthless skills you will need to buy them from the cash shop. high lvls still get drops from low lvl monsters so boss monsters are all covered even  the newb lvl bosses. cash shop help function is also  in korean.

 4th monitary gain . a new player will not have this in any way shape or form , a new player can craft nothing , can farm nothing , so has no income . money gain from questing will barely cover your teleport costs to and from questing areas.

5th chat there is no chat your chat window wil never move a word. if your new you have no clan if you have no clan your not worth talking to. a mmo with no chat but that of game systems spam.

6th there is no pug partying . everyones so used to no cha in this game you can jump up and  down grow a 2nd head and fart out gold bars , and no one would look your way.

 7th there are many npc toons you have to creat your self inorder to play this game . these npc players do your crafting and such for you . ye you have only 4 toon slots and a total of " at my best count" 17 slots needed for base crafting npc toons

8th its mouse click for everything , click to move , click to attack . click to swop leader  from your too list , click to pick up drops . your non stop going  click click click  and in a big fight most clicks end up on wrong thing . sure theres a auto attack function and if your in a area bellow your lvl range it works fine . but if you play his you will have to play where  you can find space. ive have to go to areas 20 lvls above my toons to play just cuz the lvl 60-100+ players had all the low lvl areas locked down. if you use auto attack theres auto attack bombs that spawn  at random if you hit  one  you instantly have 15-20 monsters drop from the sky onto your head.  20 monsters 20 lvls above your lvl is ista death

 9th  0 ,nadda , no  toon customization in looks or stats

 *************

now theres some good to  the game but the above makes it not even worth the attempt to play.

 good is

 works great on linux os

 nice diff. lvl its not ez playing 3 toons at the same time with out auto attack mode, its nice to  play a not ez game again

 no lag , theres not a ton of players it pc i loaded the game on isnt the greatest  it a pure base system and i had 0 lag ever.theres not tons of players but saddly most of the few there are , are butt heads.

 clean eviorment there no big masses of trees just there for no purpuse , i only did 9 days my 3 toons didnt even mak it to lvl 60 so i can say  if the high lvl makes are the same. but from 60 down only 1 map took a try at the artsie fartsie it was  a map for players 35-40 i guess . it wasnt laggy just a pain to click click click threw all the bridges.

 i guess that about wraps it up....

o wait and its client is a lie . it states 2G space req. no sir  total from dl till final install  you will need 10.3G open space you can recover 6G after finall install  so not a biggy unless you plan to download  onto a external mem divice

 Really ?, I cant go out into devils with out at least 1 party asking for help. they just fail one of the quest 3 or 4 times in a row . or we in  and ran around for a hour or more not finding the way threw the mission.

 To Top that all the devils quests are pre regs for the raid. Its no fun when you finally get to the 18-20 area , and you really really want to see the cap lvl raid . But you cant  becouse the pre reg quests are not the ez walk in the park events  the quests on every other map are.

 Sure its fun to win on your own merit . but for high lvls its not pratical anymore.  the do it do it  gamers are gone or have already done it. which is why  every game coming out  gets ezer and ezer every year, The play to win gamers are all but  extinct . If we all stopped helpping the new players  shroud and devils would be empty , all day every day. There hard and very time consumming .

 The fun of a first run is only there if you WIN . if you  fail or get lost , your party with out a oldster to show the way will fall into discontent and quickly fall apart . thats just the way it works  in F2P mmo gamming now, and for better or worse DDO is now a F2P mmo . hard and unknown are hated , ez and predictable are the in thing. as it is even with a handful of Oldies walking threw new waves of players in devils the place is still a ghost town 90% of the time.

 I would have to disagree with your full comment . It isnt taking the fun out of the hard areas  buy walking players threw quests , its showing them a area of the map that they would not see with out the help. they would just skip he map and head off to the new " higher lvl maps" that are so much ezer to win.
