This evening, Turbine announced a new patch to adjust game play. Included in that patch are new, low level solo quests..

Re: Solo adventures announced
Gents,
I have played a few of the solo quests using a lvl 2 wizard (Romestamo). Partly to get some of the game skills down and partly to try and collect a few XPs. I'm not a newbie to DnD, just pretty green at DDO. Anyway, my point being that I'm not a rusher, and I know how to crawl a dungeon. Granted, a low level wizard may not be the best choice, but they are supposed to be solo quests afterall. What I have found is very little middle ground. I've had a couple total cakewalks, and unfortunately a couple butt-kickings...with lot's of resources consumed and the all-too-unfortunate accumulation of negative XPs as a result of death. I think the game overall may be skewed towards melee combat and there is obviously less room for (magical) creativity than in PnP DnD, so perhaps these solo quests suit the fighting classes well, but there is certainly a balance issue in my opinion. My solo days are numbered...I need Thadious Bellock and Mahblung to bail me out way to regularly. Hopefully they don't mind...at least I'm good for a couple 20pt Shocking Grasps on the named foes. ![]() To summarize my review of the solo quests...some can be a good place to practice, but generally they are badly balanced. Cheers. |

Re: Solo adventures announced
I still need to go through a few of these myself and see how they play. It makes perfect sense that some are easy for you and some are difficult - D&DO was simply not balanced to play solo - there isn't much they can do to except make the ai in the game smarter to adjust the solo quest to the class of the participant - sounds easy, right? Well maybe they will one day-
If you think about it, all it would take from keeping my fighter, ranger, or barbarian form finishing a solo quest is one locked door or a single trap. Nobody minds bailing anybody out.. even that is part of the game. Now those Shocking Grasps.. thats just the cats meow.
