I am not done listening yet, I really enjoy Kalari’s no-nonsense approach to gaming and life in general. I am starting to think that even MMO-Life has an expiration date. We seem to be a bigger game now, but that has just led to its own bag of problems.
For the record Yak, you cheeky monkey, my husband sits next to me more than half of my gaming time. He laughs at me most of the time. I have no shame and I love to use in game “In-the-windows” to make people laugh. That is when the game is at its best for me… when I log off and I know me and everyone else in my party laughed and joked and had a good time.
/rant
What I don’t enjoy is when people in the party act like jerks to each other and boot people for being new to the game or using MYDDO to judge if a person is worthy of being in your group… that is very irritating. I am seeing this more and morei in game these days) Does all that happen in other MMO’s?
/rantoff
Life is too short to worry about these things I think though… I try and remember not to take life too seriously and when life hands you too many nerfs… try another game! Steam is having a big sale!!!
Cheers

@Lessah LOL, good to hear from you again as it’s been a while. Cheeky Monkey huh, guess I deserved that for giving you a hard time. Maybe like everything else MMO’s and video gaming in general have a shelf life. I agree people shouldn’t judge your game play based on what you have, it’s how you use it, LMAO.

Yeah that whole my ddo screening thing is such b.s. To me it reflects more on the person using it then the person being excluded. There is not much in this game that you need a perfect party for and if you have a good amount of players who knows what they are doing they can take anyone else and maybe have someone who didnt build right watch and learn. It just amazes me the way some defend my ddo used for screening. It wont tell you if the person is an asshat so its useless to me lol.

Kalari is such a great co-host for your show, Yak. Great to hear her again! I sooooo agree about forum rep on ddo.com – it’s the most pointless thing I’ve ever seen that causes way too much drama.
As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with Kalari about Turbine’s shifting in business thinking with DDO nowadays. I fear DDO’s trying to do too many F2P things that will make them lots of money but make the game a bit less fun. Fortunately we’re not there yet. Gimmickey – good way to say it.
My biggest problem with MMOs has been the whole “must be easy” mentality. The genre as a whole replaces challenge with grind. I think the thinking is that people won’t pay monthly fees if they struggle. Might be true, but one of the things I’ve long loved about DDO is it took a different approach. DDO is different! In recent months, though, I see the game shifting to become more “typical” of other MMOs. I hope they realize their mistake before they lose their hardcore supporters.
If I ever run my own Internet radio station (could happen someday!) Kalari gets her own show. You can have one too Yak.
I don’t know, Kalari – I think Yak needs to change his name to Captain Serious…
Super-minor correction: Guild renown starts decaying at guild level 26, not 40 as mentioned in the show.
Agreed with Kalari – don’t change.

@Jerry That’s the problem with companies like Turbine and Cryptic is that they keep doing things to piss off their player base. Glad you are enjoying the show and if you do get your own internet radio station, that would be cool!

Hehe Jerry id be honored Dunno if a show with me on it would sound so great though I tend to rant a lot lol. Im just worried I know making money is important Im just tired of seeing the bar lowered to do so. Easy shouldnt have to be for everyone and still think they could have let it be casual and normal then hard and elite the way us players who were used to the challenged being left the same. I just hope update 6 makes up for 5 cause renown will only hold me for so long.

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve posted – been on vacation and all that…
Glad to see Kalari back as well. She’s always a blast to listen to. I agree with about 75% of what you guys are talking about, honestly.
I love DDO, and don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. I don’t necessarily like the direction that Turbine has taken the store. Too many items that you have to buy from the store. For instance, the new diamonds. Really? WTF man…it costs about 700 astral diamonds for the big super airship and it costs 2500 points for 200 or so diamonds? Really?? And don’t get me started on the whole reincarnation deal…hearts of wood should all be available in game in some capacity.
Also, the guild renown system really needs an overhaul. I like the concept, and while I don’t know how easy it would be to add a “guild achievement system” to the program, I do see what you are talking about. What I think would be a great system would be for killing particular mobs in quests, not by chests. Rare named mobs (depending on level of mob vs level of group) could give a certain amount of guild renown. Isn’t it part of a fantasy realm that you are acknowledged for killing the big nasty orc and saving the town? It could be based on that basic principle. Do the deed, get the renown.
Those are just a few points I would like to make, sorry if i rambled on a bit
@Lessah Cheeky Monkey, eh? You really have spent a lot of time on the European servers lol!

@Sylvurdragon Thanks for the comments man! You say you won’t leave DDO for now. Just wait until FF14, Rift or GW2 come out. I have a feeling that the DDO player base is fed up with Turbine and will be looking for some thing new then. I predict that a huge chunk of their player base will play if not move over to one of these MMO’s.
Again, good to hear from you!!!!!

Trust me…I play DDO because it is D&D. If they keep the no-die thing that Kalari mentioned and keep doing the gimmicky ddo store thing and focusing only on the ‘new players’ there will be nothing that is going to keep me interested. I go with what I love. Really though, the die thing nearly made me rage-quit lol
I’ve been a final fantasy fan since playing the first FF on NES back in the late 80’s. I only stopped playing FFXI because it was so hard to keep up with the Japanese community and soloing was next to impossible once you reached level 6. I love grouping, but it could take an hour to find a group. sometimes you just wanna get-in-get-out, you know? I made the Japanese comment, because FFXI was over in Japan like 2 or 3 years prior to it being released in the States. So when new players got into the game and went to the random server (that was the way it used to be – the server was picked for you) there would already be people running around at level 20 in capped out gear. hard to compete with that lol
Yah its good to be back. I didn’t listen to the second skin cast cause I actually want to see the movie sometime. I’ve seen the previews and know that its more about gaming “addiction” than about people who love games…not a movie that I would let my wife watch LOL!

Just started this… heard Kalari talking about the use of the word ‘vet’… her opinion echoes my own sentiments on this issue. If I’ve ever used the word ‘vets’ in regards to mmo gamers, it’s only because the word is used so widely that I’ve been socialized into using the term myself (that’s IF…haha); however, when I first heard the usage, I wanted to puke… and it even roils my stomach now on occasion.
I think Kalari needs her own little corner here. haha!

@Yak: RE the definition of a Troll… I COULD BE WRONG, but I always took it to be a forum adaptation of the fishing term (ie you run the boat at a low speed with your line in the water trolling for fish… hoping to get a bite). Here’s the wikipedia definition of the fishing term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing)

@Ryan Good to see your refreshing comments again man! Dude, Zelda will always be a classic! I am playing Crono Trigger, one of Square’s best RPG’s of all time. However, I patched it with a re-translation and hard patch. I am playing it on emulation VIA the Wii. I am going to talk more about that on my next show.
