How to Be Successful in Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO) Online RPG

By Mark Walton


Dungeons and Dragons Online is one of the more difficult games in which to get started. This is especially true if you've never played an MMORPG before now. Due to many changes in the game, the free adaptation of DDO is nothing like the original released several years back. This game is no different from other MMO's in that it continues to become more complex and offers the player different progression paths. If you have played other MMO's, jumping into DDO will be much easier than you may think. DDO is currently a genuine PVE game; it offers no PVP elements of any kind. Pay attention to this first before investing too much time.

You first start the game at the character creation screen. DDO was created with special race attributes in mind; pick yours cautiously the first go-around as this will save you some frustration down the road. Take a name that will fit the play style you mean to exhibit in the game. There is no "best race" to pick from; simply weigh what class you plan on playing before making the race selection as certain combinations will compliment each other much more effectively. Humans are somewhat considered the halfway class, they boast a little fleck of everything. There's nothing wrong with picking a race based completely off of looks; just be careful not to counter mine your end-game stats in the process!

Classes will help delineate your character so you will need to picture what you would like to develop into as the game progresses. Customizing your character's looks may take some time; pay attention to how you plan to play the character before designing their expression.

Make prudent use of the additional stat points after designing the character's looks; use them up wisely! Imagine how your stat points will impact the class you mean to play. You will also have points to expend on skills. The points spent here will mold the type of character you will be playing. Spend your feats wisely - they will greatly affect how you want to play your character!

After all the choices are locked in you will find yourself entering the game world! Welcome to Stormreach Harbor! Take on some quests and discover if the choices made in the character select screen are right for you. If you're not content with your character, start over immediately. Don't trick yourself into thinking it will get better... DDO is one of those games that stays predictably clear in that regard. DDO's audio chat characteristic is great when running dungeons for the first time or with newly found friends. Don't fret not owning a mic, it's still very beneficial to hear what your teammates are saying.

DDO does have a LFG feature but it's more reliable to contact players directly instead of waiting lazily for a group. The game gives you the choice to solo dungeons, my question to you would be why? Socializing never hurts, friends are there to help. Thanks for reading!
