Threads that make us Laugh, Cry, or Both, Continued

First of all, penalty to AC, crazy bonus to damage is rolled up and hidden underneath the mattress that is "Shock Trooper".

Next, what other choices are the fighters making during their full round attack? Really, are they slowing the game down with their one choice?

Second, let me break down power attacking at low levels: DO IT. ALL OF IT. (until level 5 at least).

Here is combat at higher levels: "I power attack for 3" ->if hitting, go for 1 more/round.

Is this really even slowing down a game anywhere?

[Leress]

*thinks* Can't the person choose what to use for power attack during other people's turns and just say it when it is their turn?

Leress: If a caster can choose which spell to cast during someone else's turn, they sure can.

D'n'D is not about jokes!

The material components section, various magic items/prestige classes, and the whole familiar death thing all beg to differ.

As someone on that thread already pointed out, he is on a forum for the webcomic, OoTS.

I read through that whole thread, at first I was with the op until his true color started to show through. He like a walking emo cliche, only focusing on the negative when a lot of people on the thread are giving good advice. It's like I can here The Cure every time that guy posts. He can't seem to grasp the concept of compromise.

Edit: I just found this thread.. I could only manage to skim through it, but it's quite something. Be sure to at least check out the later pages.

This is it.

This is the best thread.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever had a game slow down because a fighter was calculating his power attack. Casters on the other hand... my god, some wizard PCs are slow as hell...

[Crissa]

Power Attack just kills any game with newbies in it. Ugh.

Update, the OP has changed his sig to "Not a Vague threat, it's something I do daily after any situation: Currently Inactive until he thinks up reasonable non-internet related revenge tactics on all that mocked him in that thread."


Bloody glorious.

You want to be a military semi-failure, have your entire hometown burned down by the prettiest man in the world, receive illegal genetic and chemical experimentation, get horribly sickened as a result, spend time getting looked after by your best friend who then gets killed protecting you, then go on a vague quest in which

On another note, but am I the only person who finds the fucking World of Warcraft to be smarter than WotC?

How so? (Yes, I agree I just want to see other observations)

This wouldn't exist there, despite how stupid everyone is.

Not that I disagree, but I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this.

[cthulhu]

No, the WoW forums are worse than the WoTC forums. The WoW forum mods make fun of the participants, and no-one gets the joke!

[the_taken]

I don't care much about WoW, as I don't play the game, nor do I have any understanding as to how smart the average player is.
But I can tell you I won't buy the game, nor play it. Ever. The whole game is centered around killing monsters and making items. The story aspects are static, unchanging and irrelevant. You just can't make a difference in the world, and I get too much of that in RL to want to get it in a game. Give me the DMG and some basic flavour text so that I can make my own stories where player actions affect the world.

Ever heard of that time a wandering world boss was tricked into going to a major social hub? After the demon-god rampaged thru the city, and leveled up! the admins reset the server and put everything back together. I know that all of you would have been okay with Godzilla eating Tokyo, and having a great site for future PA adventures in your campaigns. But in WoW, the lizard king gets a lobotomy, and his pecks ripped off, and then all of Tokyo's casualties get free True Resurrection spells cast on them, and the buildings get put back together like Lego houses. I hate that.

[MrWaeseL]

All forums on the internet suck, even this one.

[Draco_Argentum]

I liked this thread better when we were being jerks instead of trying to be helpful.

One of the few good things about the WoW forums is the moderators paying out on the random crybabies that infest the place.

[Koumei]

That's awesome.

I apologize. Ramnza and I were away for the holidays. The discussion about the women finding the Count attractive has been moved to MPSIMS.

Warmage Build Guide and Compendium

Warmage hmmm, if I see a Healer compendium my soul would be crushed. On second thought I may make one just for the hell of it.

Rebalancing the Core Classes

While not fundamental wrong, the rebalancing doesn't really do anything.

Debunking mages thread update: Still full of fail, since the entire foundation of the thread was built with crap anyway.

[SunTzuWarmaster]

That thread is the best thread ever.

Gradually working my way through it, and it's great. CLASSIC teen angst.

"Me, the guy who studies as hard as hell, rehearses lines for Drama, got his "friends" part dumped on him, has constant troubles with people at school because they aren't smart enough to keep up, is trying to find a job for over the holidays, makes comics for the Oots: Avatar Battle Royale, cleans the dishes, mows the lawn and is trying to get a few things back on track in life that are not really the best thing to mention here.
I'm the 4th most busy guy in the group, cut me some goddamn slack."

I mean, he can't be serious, can he? "No one is as smart as I am, I am the LEAST busy and no one cuts me any slack"

I'm fine with people not liking the now-ubiquitous MMO paradigm--it has a whole lot of really important problems with it--but why complain about this specific incident? Given how the rest of the game works, that was clearly The Right Way to deal with this event. Someone found and exploited a bug in a manner that dramatically impeded regular play for a huge number of players who are paying a fee to play a specific kind of game. You and I may think the regular play is trivial and boring, but fixing the bug and reversing its effects (to the best of their ability) is still clearly the right response, isn't it?

I also don't like sports or sports games, but if someone found a special case where the rules of a realistic sports game disagreed with the sport on which it was based, I wouldn't complain if the developers erased the results of games in which it was abused and released a patch to change it. Especially if I wasn't even playing the game when this occurred.

[MagnaSecuris]

A trend in MMOs seems to be 'War' games, wherein there is some constant conflict. WoW and Warhammer Online are the prominant examples of this. It would be interesting if a mechanic could be implemented for a side to 'win' the war, even if the balance of the two sides meant it never happened. This would be something to fight towards, tho others would be fighting against it.
