    He's got a wife.  How's that?  And he's got a job.  Maybe you should, you know, not post when you don't have anything useful to say?

    
     

    Thanks Valc for defending me, but you didn't have to. You see, I came to this conclusion. When a person states in his post that he is married and has a kid, and then a person comes along and makes a comment like that, it only tells me that the person is looking to get a rise out of the OP. It also tells me how sad that persons life is and how unintelligent they are. I looked at his post history and seen how bitter he was and I decided to ignore him.

     

    Meh.  I can't help myself.  Would rather say something.  I'm still somewhat childish in many ways.

    Starting arguments is somewhat of a passtime of mine, kinda always has been.  Most of my friends have figured this out, by now, and know that I don't mean anything by it.  Makes for a lot of interesting conversation.

    Can you explain this a little more? What is a static group?

    It's a group who creates characters that are to only group on certain days of the week, and only with each other.  For example, if I were to create a static group, I'd find a bunch of people and create a character with them.  We all decide to log in every Monday at 8PM CST and play for two hours.  So every Monday at 8PM CST, I log in with that same character and get together with the same group of people.
     

    I would ONLY play with those people on that specific character.  My other characters can do whatever they want, but because that character is in a static group, it cannot group with other people, because it has to stay at their level.

    That probably would be the smart thing to do, but you know me. I play games the way I want, because I pay the subscription fee. I'm not going to let other people dictate the quests I'm going to run, because they did it too many times before, isn't enough xp, or great loot or whatever other reason they can think of.

    I also have been thinking on this for a while now. Probably ever since level 8 (several weeks ago) when grouping started getting scarce. My whole reason for leveling Validorn up was to unlock 32 pt builds so I can create another character, and for what? To have the same tough time finding groups 7-11? I'm not a powergamer, but I do game a lot, so I don't think DDO will make me happy at the rate it is going. Some other game will provide me with more entertainment for my money than DDO will, because I sit around for the majority of the time waiting for a group to form or for people to join my group.

    I reactivated my CoX account yesterday and used one of the promotional keys on the forums here to extend my 30 day subscription to 45 days. Great value for the money I think and I love playing around with the character creation system.

    Perhaps I will come back after the next Module is released, because that seems when players resub most often. Maybe then I can find groups for what I want to do. Good luck in Colorado, it's a beautiful place to live, I envy you. Keep in touch.

    Yeah, I guess it would kinda suck to have to change your style just to continue playing.  I really wish the experience vs. difficulty would scale better in DDO, but it doesn't, making people a lot more likely to do certain quests.
     

    [edit] Oh, also, I figured I would mention that you probably wouldn't be going for favor with your second toon, since you will have already unlocked 32 point builds at that point.  That should make grouping easier, because you don't have to finish all those quests - there's just not much reason to. [/edit] 

    By the way, we are apparently doing VoN 5-6 this weekend.  Or, at least, we are attempting to do so.  I am excited to do VoN 5-6 with a decent group - I hope it works out.

  • You know, maybe the smart thing to do would be just to focus on leveling up, for now, and then work on favor after you get closer to cap.  Then, you could solo (or you and I could duo) a good number of the quests that it's hard to find groups for.

    I haven't been on in a while because of a screwed up sleep schedule and a whole lot of business that plopped itself on my doorstep.  Had four computers to work on in the last week and a half.  And now I've been offered a job in Colorado...

    Anyway, I'm still in the range of levels you can group with, albeit barely.  You've been playing a whole lot more than I have.  Nonetheless, I'll be around if you need help adding numbers to your group list.

    I still have to finish up a couple of those computers, and I have to get packed for moving to Colorado, but I will do my best to be more active.  It'd suck if you quit, 'cause it's nice having a couple of active members in our guild.
