lol, how funny. I got a free-pass from my friend (he quit too). So I tried it out:
Rolled a char, got in, and instantly knew it would fail. INSTANTLY. crap. all of it. The engine is weak, and the levels are so small and gotta load every 100ft. I tried the tutorial and thief learning dungeons, and god, I was expecting SOME CHALLANGE. NO traps No nothing. utterly LAME. The only nice part was the DM voice. a good touch.
Let me state this: DDO will indeed be dead and gone in 5 Months. And Atari will die. (Atari is struggling). So NWN2 Will have to find a new publisher.
Let me also state that WHOEVER CAME UP with that "Shittiest Idea in MMO Land EVER" (That 'all dungeons' idea should be fired, and buried in hot sand. What a joke.
What is with sloppy programmers these days? Our games may be looking cooler, but we gotta load new 'areas' every 100ft. That is bullshit. I know it can be done without loads. WOW does it. WOW's code is damn nice too. (Don't think I love WOW now, I have reached lvl 50 and stopped for a while)--wowsick.
Anyway, back to the shit that "WAS" DDO.
It'll be gone soon, and ALL they had to do was make it right. god, play WOW for 10 mins, and you should know what is right! I am getting damn SICK of the gaming industry for dropping rubbish on us too, SpiritWarrior, and its time they know. Sting them where it hurts. Their corporate greedy pockets. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Here is what would have made DDO hot:
*FIRST AND FOREMOST: Make the game set in the Forgotten Realms. Stop whining it would be too hard. BS. A deeply understood realm would be a plus, NOT A MINUS DEVS! God, can't they see that?
1. WOW-like engine (people like to run into others in MMOs. not form a party early and then do it. You didn't allow solo play, so you killed it.
2. People like to show off. Yep. But when the ONLY thing that changes your look is a helm and your chest piece or armor, you fail, and your IPO dies.
3. Needed an Auction house, quests, needed SOMETHING for people to do while waiting like sheep for the next dungeon. Boredom kills a game.
4.Healing Shines? Whoever's idea this was should be fired (fired at?) lol jk, and buried in hot sand too. When it becomes a CHORE to worry about dying, and if you die, its over pretty much. BAD
5. Interface Sucks. Make a good one. Its what people stare at a lot.
6. Dungeons and Dragons cannot be converted to an MMO exactly and remain fun. Other things must be done as well.
I could go on, and on to 4000 if I had to. I really DO wish I was rich. I would start my own company up and build something people actually liked to play. (It's my dream really). Because a LOT of these people just don't get it. First, you gotta understand people before you can understand games. (Making them). KNOW what people like, know what pisses them off. Don't release a game with bugs that someone finds in 10 minutes of playing--that is EMBARRESING!
Ranting mode off. Heh, maybe I should convert this into a review for my IW Web-area.
