Dungeons and Dragons online free to play

[kiwi_2005]

DDO is now free to play so i decide to give this mmo a go, anyone play this game. What has really shocked me is the way they have made the Archer a bad class, what are the devs on crack?

From what ive read on the forums

1: An archer should not kite in a group, kiting is a no no if you kite your piss of everyone else cause they can't reach the mobs while your kiting them so expect to be kicked.

2.Archers are frown upon by all other players.

3: An archer should melee, yes thats right your a range class but melee is the way to play the archer. Thats just wrong right there! How stupid whats the point in going range class then! Its like saying the uboat should surface and use its deckgun when attacking a destroyer!!

4: Archers do the lowest dps in the game. YOUR AN ARCHER YOU SHOULD BE ONE OF THE BEST IN DPS!

5: Hey what class are you? I'm Arcane Archer. ''You have been kicked from the group.''

Going a hunter in WoW you do the best DPS in the group. Hunters never ever melee if you melee your a newb, hunters are always sort after. But in DDO archers melee. :rotfl2: :har:

Yes the DDO devs are IDIOTS!.

Of course having said that this is not a bad mmo, its similar to Guildwars but far more hardcore, you leave town to go dungeon crawling, you can solo play and take along a hireling or group up with others. But I was so looking forward to playing as an archer (I still am) yet it seems the best archer to choose is the Tempest archer cause he has the best melee skills out of all of them.

They have got this class so wrong its a crime to all hunter players out there.

RANT over.

I played the real AD&D in its hey day. There was no archer class, but there were ranged weapons anyone (almost) could use. Everything today is a total departure from the original game. The only classes were Fighter, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Paladin, Thief, and Magic User.

They would really have a cow if they met Bastille, a 17th level magic user in our group who could burn a small army to ashes with the 9th level spell Meteor Storm. (geeze, I remember too much of that crap).

I'm playing a Rogue, not going to bother with archers the way they have made them. Assassin Rogue suits me fine, sneaking around taking them out sometimes in one hit disable traps locks etc.,


DDO would have to be one of the best dungeon crawling ive ever experience in a mmo, dungeons are story driven not to long to complete with an excellent narrator. Ive just completed all the dungeons in the starting area on normal now repeating them in hard. Ive read we shouldn't leave the starting area until each dungeon as been completed in elite mode.

The leveling up is new to me like im Rank 8 but level 2, i still see lvl 3's in the beginning area. Level cap is 20 if im correct

If your looking for a good dungeon crawler DDO is it.
