• • Anyone playing LOTRO also played DDO?

  • I'm curious to know how LOTRO compares to DDO? The one thing DDO has that no other game seems to compare to are the quests. The quests in DDO have always impressed me because they have aspects which make you think. Like the quests which have those giant wagon wheels where you need to set them to the right runes and such to trigger an event. I haven't see anything like that in any other MMO. Also, every dungeon is unique unlike some other MMO's like CoH which re-use maps for different missions.

    Anyway, I'd really like to hear from someone who's played DDO & LOTRO to get their opinions!

    Thanks!

  • I voted it a 5. I picked the game up to give it a shot and will probably not renew after my 30 days. I played a Disciple of Khaine and was able to really roll through the PvE content. I talked to some friends who played a Sorceror and Chosen and it appeared as a DoK I had alot less trouble soloing these quests than they did. So for PvE Content, if you like to Solo, DoK appears the way to go. I think I made Rank 18 in a week and a half. When I did jump into RvR, it was apparent that DoK is not the class you want to be if you're into RvR Combat. I repecced and tried the different mastery lines but no matter what I chose, it just didn't cut it in RvR. So, I pulled back and played the healer role and felt that the DoK healing abilities were somewhat lacking for RvR. They do massive amounts of healing over time, but in RvR, time does not appear to be on your side. :) Perhaps the Shaman is a better choice for this support role, I'm not sure. Anyway, during my playtime, the only real issue I had was the queueing for scenario's took FOREVER. But with the last patch they put in where you can queue for all scenarios, that fixed it.

    The real reason I won't be renewing is I just didn't like the play style. Nothing against the game at all, but it's essentially a hack n slash game. While fun for a little while, it gets repetitive too soon for my liking.
