Out of curiosity Reinhardt, is this character on your regular server or hardcore?

Cool. I'm just focusing on my regular server right now. Just focusing on slowly experiencing all the content and getting to max level. I'm at level 9 right now on my Paladin main character.

How solo friendly is this when it comes to playing the campaigns/quests they gave you for free?

From what I read (and experienced up until level 5 so far) you can do every quest outside of a few with a hireling you buy in game. Dungeons scale to how many people are in.

I decided to embrace my true self. Fuck reapers for now. I will run lvl 4 quests with lvl 8 character because i can. Reaper difficulty is fun, but i'm tired of balancing money and exp to be able to run it. Getting favor for my first character and account is more important.

I actually asked a DDO streamer, Vodoospyce, about doing Reaper on a first life character and he didn't recommend it. He said the best way to get into reaper mode is get a character to Lv 30 and then join groups to run Legendary (max level) content on Reaper. Cause apparently you get tons of Reaper Experience doing that, since Legendary Quests offer double Reaper XP. And doing that you can get a bunch of Reaper Points which you can then spend in the Reaper Enhancements trees for more HP and defense in Reaper mode.
Personally, I'm going to try doing Reaper 1, but if it gets too difficult I'm going to stick with elite and focus on favor and max level. It's not worth dying over and over again and getting frustrated.

When I played as a sorcerer, i could't finish reaper even at low level. As a warlock in other hands, I have about 1.2k favor an recently reached epic level. But now, reaper is jut too hard to solo.

^Is a mmo, but most content can be soloed. Including quests designed to be played in party...

Anyway, tried to play a little and .... Stuck on "installing Pre-Reqs"
Was playing normally, logged out, then waited some time, the steam updated and now when i click to play the launcher is stucked on "installing pre-reqs".

I reached epic level with a carceri warlock few days ago and never had any problem. How i solve it?

SSG's servers are having serious issues, lotro has been down for about a day and a half now.

I was thinking on purchase a CON and STR tome to my warlock(he has 8 STR, any spell/trap that damages STR makes him helpless and it is awful) and because my hireling cleric has many times my hp, but since the servers are too unstable, will avoid spending (more) money... A lot of people complain about content behind paywall on DDO but honestly, content behind paywall is far better than ultra nerfed content...

Yeah I'd be weary of buying anything, people on lotro have been losing stuff due to it and the DDO/lotro engines are basically the same.

Yeah, I just tried going to the DDO forums and site is down. I remember when I was playing on Wednesday morning there was a ton of lag. Didn't play this morning but assume it was the same problem.
