Bear in mind that Armour Specialisation does not change your AC or Defence. 37 AC with 3 ranks or Armour specialisation is still 37 AC. 4000 defence with 3 ranks of Armour specialisation is still 4000. It changes the effect of AC and defence. This is generally better in the case of defence due to diminishing returns. (DR…

The queue system is set up to try to provide a "tank" a "healer" and 3 DPS. People don't like playing tanks and healers because they aren't as good for soloing and such. So many more than 3/5 people want to play DPS characters. As a DPS character, you're queuing in the most popular category so you're stuck until enough GFs…

Holding it close to the balance point is probably where I would hold a spear for duelling and skirmishing (ie all fights in NW) rather than fighting in a phalanx. Holding it at the end would just make it unwieldy and too easily knocked aside. There is "muscle" and then there is "ignoring physics".
-
I'd second shifting instances or moving. If someone deliberately tracks and follows you through instance changes and moving to other locations for the purpose of disrupting your RP, then that is very much reportable as harassment.
-
I think it might be more correct to say that PC = Character of the player" as in the 'toon on the screen that interacts with other PCs, NPCs, kills monsters etc. The player of the character (as in the person behind the screen/character sheet) is just the "Player". NPC stands for "Non-Player Character" ie a 'toon that is…

Can you clarify this bit please?
-
I rather like DDO. Its probably my favourite MMO just due to the Eberron setting. The downside of such extensive character building options however is that optimisation and elitism rear their ugly heads: There is rather too high a power gap between someone taking RP or flavour options and a character built from scratch to…

So what is the issue? None of the packs are required to play the expansion. Play the game, and each time a new pack comes out (with expansion or not) look at it, and decide whether you want to pay the cost for what it contains. If, for you, the cost is not worth the contents, don't buy it, and see if the next one has…
-
Is that due to the bug, or just bad luck?
-
Got a source on that? Or is it just personal opinion like the P2win comment? Its unlikely that Paragon paths will be out this year. They fairly definitely won't be out in Module 1. It is unlikely that they will cost $5+ per path. I would even guess that PWE will give a free respec when they are all released.

I'm not quite sure what part of my post upset you. It was certainly not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings to the point that they would feel that they had to break their promise to keep the ToC just to respond. Nevertheless, I would prefer it if you could keep things civil and honest if possible. The post was just…
-
Yep, but between the "fanboys" and the "haters", there are people with valid complaints and criticisms, and suggestions that would improve the game. They can have the critical thinking skills to discuss of other comments as well. Quite often they will have differences of opinion, but can stay civil while discussing them.…
-
The point is though, that you don't need to buy everything. You don't need to buy anything. There aren't many games where you can get everything without having to pay anything.
-
Different people want different things.
-
In weasel words, it could be argued that he meant "selling" meaning "persuading to be interested in" rather than an actual monetary transaction. Just not in this case.
-
Generally, MMO forums have a high proportion of complaints because that is where people come to make them heard. Most people who are happy with the game don't tend to post. Constructive complaints, criticisms, and suggestions are an important method of feedback, and encouraged. Sadly, many posts are not constructive.
-
I would speculate that the Piercing notes isn't unlocked until Rank 30. It may just be an add-on effect to the Audio Drain, but listed as separate because it only becomes active later.
-
I'd guess that Paladins are likely to be defenders, and Druids Controller/leaders. If you're after a pure Leader companion like the Cleric, the Bard might be your best bet.
-
What "extra stuff"? The expansion is free: You don't need to buy either pack to get access to it. Everything in all of the packs is "extra stuff".
-
Both good points. Its probably more about being able to sell $150 worth of stuff for $60 to someone who would have otherwise spent only $35. Once the items are designed, there is no additional cost to make them, so unless the customer would have spent more than $60 buying all of that stuff, there is no loss for selling for…
-
It doesn't seem to be anything new for MMOs, for at least two reasons: Interviews are generally conducted with the people actually making the content, or designing the play options, or overviewing them. These people are the ones who can answer questions about a lot of the game, however, they often don't have the authority…
-
There is no new class in the pack. I think that you must have misread.
-
Do people generally buy zen "just in case" or do they buy it with a specific objective in mind? Even the packs are going to have something of this issue: "Do I buy the Feywild pack, or should I wait a few months in case they introduce an even cooler mount in a different pack?" Actually, thinking about it, most spending…
-
If you're curious, look at his posts that weren't removed for rules violations. Criticism of a game is a vital part of its development, and given the nature of forums, a lot of it is going to be negative criticism. However, I can't see our community or the game being enhanced by someone like this: Beyond that, we probably…
-
As yet, it looks like they can't. We don't know whether they will implement that option in the future. We don't know how many of those packes were bought, how much the zen store is making, what the upkeep costs of the servers, salaries of the employees, and the dept incurred by the development of the game. They are giving…

The Drow in DDO are unlocked by achieving 400 favour points on one character. You get Favour points by running quests. Since you level up by running quests as well, normal play would mean that you would probably hit a fairly consistent level. So while Wholyhandgrenade was wrong (it is possible to achieve Drow before the…
-
Really? What are its stats and effects?
-
Unless there is a clash with the licensing, you probably don't have to worry. The Forgotten Realms are likely to be the setting of choice for games because not only does it have the most fans, it is also generic enough fantasy that non-D&D players can probably get to grips with it more easily. Eberron may be my favourite…
-
I'm fairly sure that Greymasque didn't say anything about people who simply didn't like them. He was specifically addressing those who said that unicorns are only for pretty pink princesses and similar comments. If you didn't say anything along those lines, there is no reason at all why you should feel that those comments…
-
Probably due to the setting. In Forgotten Realms, people tend to call them Moon Elves and Sun Elves even though in game mechanics terms, they are both Eladrin.
