I bet everyone is busy either playing ddo or sleeping off their late night sessions ;)<br>

<div>Hi guys, bad news for me I'm afraid. It's my father in laws 65th
birthday this Tuesday, I have Midwife and acupuntur on Wednesday and
Thursday I pack as I am in Florida from Friday the 9th until
Saturday the 18th. So I pretty much will miss the next 2 sessions. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I started a new char after I thought more about her background</div>
<div>Annabelle Swiftfinger, still the same build, different stats and
feats. 2 handed weapon fighting, Jesus I was getting -10, -6 to hit
before! Now It's down to -2, -2 or there abouts. Skills still on traps
and snekaing, she's done the daggers and has 2 Goodblades to do this
evening maybe. If anyone else has a starting char it'd be easier
to hook up! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>2 sessions shouldn't be too much if you don't all run way ahead. I can PuG to catch up and will be ready to rock asap. :-)</div></div>

<div>I'm looking forward to the next night, although I am considering
re-doing my character already. I was loath to cripple my stats too much
and had an idea I might multiclass. </div>
<div>I may have time tonight to check her stats/feats/skills and see if
its the way I want to go. Yeah, not knowing the min stat requirements
for feats can be crippling. I sent a .jpg to the ddo address that was
bounced for ziae with a complete chart of the feats, I'll upload it to
my site tonight or you can see it on <a href="http://www.ddo-europe.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.ddo-europe.com</a> (think it was class forum)</div>
<div>I think I ended on about lvl 1 rank 3, So if I do a new char I won't go past L1R4. Should only take a few hours.</div>
<div>I am still wary of you guys doing new content, the problem I found with (the admittedly few) PuGs is</div>
<div>1) No voice com</div>
<div>2) WoW like play, run from quest to quest, complete mosh fest</div>
<div>3) No tactics, too much individual play</div>
<div>4) Every man for himself, you die? too bad</div>
<div>5) Rushrushrush to get levelled up.</div>
<div>If you thought what we did the other night was hectic try a PuG!</div>
<div>I hope if you guys are going to play a lot more that this won't stop the enjoyment. </div>
<div>My order was shipped yesterday, woohoo!<br><br> </div>

<br>> Can't you guys just WoW on the nights we don't play Angry Dragons?<br>><br>Yeah, it's the standard problem of wanting to get to new content. I was<br>conscious of it as well... we rushed quite a bit and played a bit like
<br>WoW (or any other MMO).<br><br>That's ok for the early dungeons and where we're just getting set up.<br>However very soon (i.e. when we start doing lvl2-3 dungeons) you really<br>can't approach it like that. You have to start thinking DnD and planning
<br>ahead.<br><br>There are basically only about 3 more quests that I have done in Beta<br>and Leigh and I had just achieved level 2... so once we all hit that (I<br>reckon about an hour's more solid play) it'll be new for everyone... and
<br>there is a *lot* to learn.<br><br>The big difference between this and WoW Dalt is that you don't have to<br>hack-n-slash every dungeon to get XP. If you use your noggin and<br>"defeat" the creatures another way (sneaking past... distracting them,
<br>drawing them into their own traps etc) you get the same XP for it.<br><br>This means that for any character you're not so locked into one role...<br>you have a number of options (for example, you could be a total<br>
damage-hoe fighter and not bother with tanking type skills at all
<br>knowing that your party are only going to be in 1 in 10 fights.. and<br>that when they are, it's on their terms and generally short and brutal)<br><br>Also, many of the dungeons/puzzles don't have anything more than a token
<br>enemy force... there are (apparently.. haven't played them) several<br>dungeons that are almost totally "puzzle".<br><br>That's part of the appeal to me. WoW when I went back and tried it after<br>my first taste of DDO just paled so much because it's this big (pretty)
<br>empty shell. 0 athmosphere, 0 immersion, 0 depth. Maybe it's just me...<br>I dunno, but DDO feels much more "immersive" and I genuinely want to do<br>the quests not just as XP but as stories to play through.
