The Gaming Den

There are tons of quests during the game where you need to kill an enemy with something that does ridiculously small amounts of damage (I think the Ranger unlock quest Arioch was complaining about is one of them). What's this attack that does damage but is guaranteed not to kill the target? As far ...

THAC0.

There, that should keep it going another year.

The quests in DQ9 give the distinct impression of being written by someone who hates the playerbase. "OK, you need to kill this monster. But you need to do it using this specific tactic that has been chosen because it is amazingly tedious and ineffective and you would never in a million years ...

Lol. The quests are basically MMO style quests, so yeah.

Also, Fource skills are good. Like really good. So it's well worth the time to unlock.

So basically casters still have plenty of stuff to kill everything with, only now it's harder to resist any of it? Yes, that's the idea. 3.5 enemies actually can resist spells decently well if built right, and there are several right ways. So one spell will still win the fight, but it's a lot less ...

So yeah. Screw that place they are a fucking circle jerking idiot brigade, just take everything Roy ever says about the Pathfinder mobs and apply it to Gameologists, it applies just as well. The only ones over there that are Paizil like are the ones in charge, and a handful of others. There are how...

As someone that doesn't know PF much to begin with, what all really changed to cause the large split I've seen between PF fans and other 3.X fans that I see on most boards? Basically they took 3.5 and made it worse in every way, they lied about it, they lied about their intentions, and they complet...

Hey 4rries. You're only allowed to fail in a certain way a limited number of times before you are required by law to mix it up, or better yet stop failing.

If a stone tower goes up overnight in D&D, you can be fairly confident that somewhere around is a guy who's capable of casting Wall of Stone, and probably casting it quite a few times if the tower is of any size. If it goes up overnight in Ars Magica, you can be pretty sure that there's a serio...

4.Fail has enough real problems that I don't have to make them up. No amount of pretending I am will change that I am right. Also... Bullshit. You talk exactly like an MMO pubby (fail and dumb portmanteaus, I am expecting "FAIL HUNTARD" at any point now), you can't wrap your head around R...

I'm flat out admitting I am dismissing idiots with the minimum possible effort. To be stupid, I would have to do things like be persistently wrong, compulsively lie, defend people's right to not do the job they are paid to do, make MMO style claims and then deny that means the subject I am referrin...

You know, I've tried to be polite but Roy seems like an insufferable prick. We here on the den don't really like him much either. We just don't believe in banning people because they don't like him. Literally the only people that's ever been banned from here (as far as I know) was spamming multiple...

Knowledge: Nature. Oh snap! Wait, you mean there are skills to know things about things? So if I could roll Nature to know things about a swamp, I could roll Arcana or Dungeoneering to know things about a magically spontaneously generated physics-violating obsidian tower full of monsters? So Kaelik...

Knowledge: Nature. Oh snap!

I'm curious, do you guys think strawmanning helps your position, or are you just looking to make 4e look as bad as possible? Because nobody has suggested the stuff that you claimed. But 4e DOES actually suggest "You can't take equipment off of the enemies, even if they were using it". I m...

And this is why it's important to play a real game. Like 3.5. That way, when you decide "Hey, that fucker pissed me off. I want to kill him." then you can set about doing that . Even if he really is some random person with a death wish (since you'd have to be really fucking stupid to pick...

Ignoring more Persistent Fail. But I don't care that the dot is green, that fucker pissed me off. Fuck you video game invincibility. Amen. And this is why it's important to play a real game. Like 3.5. That way, when you decide "Hey, that fucker pissed me off. I want to kill him." then you ...

Hey, while we're at it, perhaps the MOBs should form a nice line, allowing the PCs to farm them. And then the PCs can stand outside and be like LFG for Orcus farmz, and LF Controller for dragon grindign. Don't forget "/Shout Camp Check!"" when you enter a dungeon. Aren't most dungeon...

Violence, the problem with their argument is even worse than you are suggesting. If monsters literally do not exist unless they are fighting the PCs then the whole notion of “Points of Light” collapses. There are no monsters in the woods, or anywhere else the PCs are not. Everything is love and hap...

The point was that there are places where you are more or less likely to encounter certain types of creatures. You can want with all your heart to find a penguin at the equator or a fire giant sailing the arctic seas, but those things probably won't happen. And, if you do come across such a thing, ...

Additionally, in real games, with real decisions like 3.5 , enemies are flying because it's what they do, and PCs are flying because it's what they do too. I don't know about anyone else, but the italicized is not what is defined as choice. Hi Welcome But I don't care that the dot is green, that fu...

The MOBs are called MOBs, because Mobile Unit is the correct term to describe them. So why is it all caps if it isn't an acronym? Do you just get that excited over them? I mean you get all excited over the shitty mmo slang "fail", hamfistedly mashing it into unclever portmanteaus on the l...
