[size=28]Status: We have multiple level ranged groups and can work with whoever shows up[/size]

If you are looking to join up and need help leveling, there are plenty of us playing alts just about every night. Feel free to join the guild and ask in the thread.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Original Post:

There has been some discussion on the old DDO thread about forming up a static group and playing one day a week for a couple of hours. Since DDO is free to play anyone can jump in and have some fun.

IMAGE(http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/919012515987931480/51CA376ADFF0B11E1A332FFFF12C8455397D3B43/)

Here is the plan:

Tuesday and Thursday nights starting at 8PM EST.
Server: Orien
Since we have two groups lets plan on using Ventrillo to communicate

For the 1st night lets have everyone plan on being through the tutorial and ready to start questing on Korthos Island by 9pm. (you are placed there right after the tutorial) If you need help choosing a class or starting off in the game in general please post below and we can help you out.

Groups are maxed out at 6 Characters but ideally I would like to get 12 of us involved so we can run two groups simultaneously through quests and be able to join the 2 groups together for raids. Raids are spread throughout the whole level scale and are not just end game content. The 1st raid is at level 6. If we get enough momentum going and want to dabble in some of the pay to play content I probably have enough Turbine points to get guest passes for the group.

Links and Tools for new or returning players:

Summary of the Classes
Overview of party roles - Has some basic builds listed at the bottom.
DDO Character Planner - I have spend more time playing with this planner than I have in game.
DDO item database - For all your loot needs.

So far the we have 12 people interested in playing:
Group one - Arovin (Artificer), Solemn(Bard), 4dSwissCheese(Barbarian), Blind Evil(Wizard) Toanstation (Cleric) Shoten (Rogue)
Group two - Karmajay(Rogue), AnimeJ(Cleric), Spynavy(Paladin), Atras(Monk), Zembonez(Fighter) Mousetrap (Artificer/Wizard)

DDO is one of my favorite MMO's of all time and has great content for static groups. If you have any interest in joining up please let us know.

Be warned, another quickfix update is online now. Leave time to download.

I gave in and bought the expansion on Steam for $17.50. Seemed like a lot of stuff for a pretty decent price. I rolled a Druid, started at lvl 4 and am...lvl 4 still!
I'm downloading the quickfix and will be on before too long. I can definitely tell that grouping will be more fun than soloing in this game, although druids can gather a nice little party with their animal companion and summons.

Good work everyone. Glad we had enough people to pull off two raids on one week. I hope we can keep this momentum going!

After a very respectable weekend of grouping, my druid is now level 8. I look forward to being able to contribute without dragging the general competence of the group down!

Got to cancel tonight. Having people over tomorrow night and the house needs to be cleaned. Sorry.

Have fun, I'll try to get caught back up by Tuesday.

While I make no promises as to my ability to actually _do_ anything (I somehow got lost in Delera's Tomb last week) my druid is now lvl 10. I will be starting an alt soon.

Hi all,

I won't be able to group up tonight, since I won't be online until closer to 11pm Eastern. See you next week!

I think most folks are away tonight, so I don' think you will miss much.

In general, I am off setting up lighting for a theatre group for the next 3 weeks (which unfortunately happens Tuesday and Thursday nights). So I'll be awol for that time. I will be back in mid April though, and will be still around on off nights, trying to not get too far behind in levels.

I have been beta testing Marvel Heroes on Tuesday/Thursday nights the last couple weeks. I apologize for not letting y'all know before.

Hope your gig goes well. I'm a musician and since this is Holy Week for the Christians, I'm a bit busy with church stuff. Thus, I won't be on tomorrow. I hope to be here Thursday the 28th, but we'll see. Things ought to return to normal for me next week.

And, Rains, I hope Marvel Heroes is fun for you. I gave Neverwinter another spin this past weekend and it did very little for me. I hope your beta experience is more fun than mine was!

Yah, Neverwinter I have been facing nothing but bugs, and so I am regretting the $60 I made for the founders pack. We'll see if it improves before release. I'll try to be on tomorrow, but Thursday I have a meeting so won't be on at all.

Lighting director hasn't made the plot yet, so no light hanging tonight. I get to DDO!

New lighting director is a much more laid back kind of guy. Looks like I can play this Thursday.

Hope to be on this Tuesday. My alt is now lvl 7 and Kivii is lvl 11 and a half!

*sry all* I posted too soon: I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow after work. Hopefully I'll see you Thurs.

Lamannia will be coming down for an update on April 11 between 10am and 2pm EST (GMT -5).
This Update will contain an Early Preview of Enhancements on Lamannia. For the next three weeks, you, the players, will have the opportunity to get an early look at our upcoming Enhancements revamp. While Racial Enhancement Trees will be available for the entire time, Class Enhancements will be distributed throughout the weeks as follows:

Week 1 (April 11 – 17):

Artificer
Cleric
Fighter
Ranger

Week 2 (April 18 – 24):

Druid
Favored Soul
Rogue
Sorcerer
Wizard

Week 3 (April 25 – May 1):

Barbarian
Bard
Monk
Paladin

These Class Enhancements will only be available during the weeks specified. During the off weeks, they will be disabled in order to allow us to get more focused feedback. There will be Surveys and Sub-Forums available to you, and we highly encourage you to use them.

Keep in mind that this is an EARLY PREVIEW! There will be bugs!

I'm out both Tuesday and Thursday this week - Lighting is getting serious. Next week Tuesday I should be good, but Thursday is dress rehearsal. After that, should be good for 'regular hours' all through the summer.

Not sure if I am in or not tonight. Wife is still in the hospital, it depends on what time I get home from visiting her.

I hope she is doing OK. Here's wishing it's nothing serious.

Thanks, things are back to normal this week. I'll be on tonight and hitting mobs with a stick again.

Also make sure you check out the details on the changes coming in the Enhancement updates.

Here is a break down about what is currently know: http://ddowiki.com/page/Enhancement_...

I am seeing a lot of interesting things. Unfortunately this might cause another flare up of my alt-itis. Since I have more time to play again, I will try to not let any of this affect Safehouse and sticking with the static group. I'll keep my time playing with new builds to non group nights and will not change Safehouse again away from her current build.

Hmm... same, but different. I need to get a character up to Epic to see the mechanism of figuring out which trees you get to access.

These changes are for the level 1-20 enhancements not the epic ones.

As for the epic rules, the epic destines you have access to depend your primary class (the one you have the most levels in) Martial classes (Fighter/Rogue/Monk) can pick any of the martial destinies (Shadow dancer/Grandmaster of flowers/Legendary Dreadnaught) to start at and the same for the other types, Arcane Divine and Primal. From there as you gain XP and level those tress you can move over to a connecting tree.
