D&D Online expansion News

PC MMO News by Paul Loughrey

13 July, 2006

Turbine has announced the availability of a second free expansion pack for Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach, offering gameplay enhancements and a horde of new enemies to slay.

The Twilight Forge expansion offers a whole new story module which culminates in an epic encounter against a new foe, the Warforged Titan, as well as introducing new enemies like the Ogre Magi and the rather charmingly named Mindflayer.

It's not about beasts and bounty though, because Turbine are also including several gameplay enhancements, including an improved user interface with tools to make grouping easier and a new in-game mail system that allows the delivery of items and messages between players, regardless of their online status.

Finishing off the content pack is a whole new player race known as the Drow (or dark elf if you prefer), and a new award system offering player bonuses for completing dungeons on all difficulty levels. Not bad for free is it?

On the contrary, it is very nice.

They could make grouping a lot easier by consolidating the servers so there'd be a decent amount of players. Tools.

But consolidation can be seen as an admission of failure...

I didn't click with DDO, for some reason. It felt clumsy compared to WoW, and the rubberbanding was pretty awful. I don't think I'll pick it up again even with this new content.

Yeah i played this for a bit, got bored though about level 7, just not enough to do. I especially hated the way everything HAS to be done in groups, because there are lots of idiots in the game. May have changed with the solo patch though. But yeah the lag in city areas sucked.
