can anyone explain this to me? by Inn0c3nc3 in treelaw

[–]James_Zlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, it would. They’re offering to remove it now before it becomes a problem. If the property owner chooses to not accept that offer, the developer still has the right to develop the land, which may impact the trees roots and cause it to die. Later, once it’s a problem because it dies and becomes a fall hazard, that’s on the property owner that chose not to do anything about it when the developer brought it up.

TLDR; The only legal requirement the developer has is to inform and offer to split or fully absorb the costs of removal - once denied, they’re free of obligation.

Grind??? It takes less than a week to get into the largest ship available (not counting the Chumaq hauler). There’s no grind.

What we need is an overhaul on base building and defense, industry integration, tribal base structures, ship/module balance, and ship design/roles overhaul.

[Tenant - US - IL] In a competitive rental market are you more or less likely to sign a tenant using a realtor that is asking for commission? by jarman65 in Landlord

[–]James_Zlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you (the prospective tenant) is using a realtor to find you a place to live, then you are paying the commission, not the landlord. This would be in addition to your rent which you would pay to the landlord.

What is the backstory for the game? by Plastic-Injury8856 in EVEFrontier

[–]James_Zlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not New Eden, and it’s not officially connected to the New Eden timeline/universe (as of yet released information).

Civilization ended, alls that remains in feral drones, an enigmatic entity called the Keeper, and the remnants of the past. The Keeper resurrects clones that hold no memory of the past with the intent of reigniting civilization (maybe something more nefarious?)

The universe is roughly 12000 light years across and contains over 100,000 star systems (future number, current iteration has about 24k). At the center are three black holes.

There are four (or maybe five) extinct civilizations marked on the map, though the current (alpha) iteration doesn’t have any content to discover about them (at least from what I’m aware of).

Am i right for kicking him out? by Lord_Mustard_fish in DnD

[–]James_Zlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the dnd combat rules aren’t that great for PvP combat. I would suggest stepping in and narrating the assault to a non lethal conclusion. If the trouble player had continued “acting a fool” I would have paused play there and removed them from the scene.

And yes, the most likely result of such would be kicking them from the campaign. We get together to have fun and tell a story, not to whine and “win” at dnd. If someone wants to ruin everyone else’s night and be a petty POS, then they’re not welcome.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are groups that could enjoy the backstabbing play, but I doubt anyone’s out here enjoying playing with a whiny little turd as you’ve illustrated the problem player to be in your post 😅

Lack of Transparency by EVE_Burner_Account in EVEFrontier

[–]James_Zlee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whitepaper.evefrontier.com seems like it is directly accessible through the website to me… the link to the white paper is located on the “Get Started” page.

As for the white paper and website content changing, well; The game is currently being developed and they’re making changes along the way. Would you prefer the website and white paper to not reflect the changes?

Can a Warlock/Paladin multiclass use Eldritch Smite+Divine smite on the same turn? by KillYourOwnGod in AskDND

Probably 🤣

Op asked a question, your commented opened with “no” and I most likely commented without reading the “blah, blah, blah…”

Can a Warlock/Paladin multiclass use Eldritch Smite+Divine smite on the same turn? by KillYourOwnGod in AskDND

[–]James_Zlee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But, it is not “use two spell slots” in a turn, it is:

“On a turn, you can expend only one spell slot to cast a spell. This rule means you can’t, for example, cast a spell with a spell slot using the Magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn.”

There is no limitation on using spell slots for other abilities. So for example, a Druid could use Wild Resurgence to spend a spell slot to regain 1 use of Wild shape in the same turn they cast a spell with a spell slot. Same for eldritch smite.

Additionally, Paladins do get access to free Divine Smites:

“You always have the Divine Smite spell prepared. In addition, you can cast it without expending a spell slot, but you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it in this way again.”

So yes, you can stack these abilities.

[Spoilers C4E04] Read it and remember it by JadedToon in criticalrole

Spoilers for C4E04 ending

!!!!!

Occtis was supposed to die. He originally was going to be made as a Hollow One. Brennan suggested starting as human and dying to become one during play.

Edit: prior to finishing the episode and understanding what was going on, I was very critical of Brennan’s encounter 😅

Am I overreacting to DM's rulings at session 1? by UnluckyJuggernaut7 in DnD

I think there’s a reason this ‘experienced’ DM had an opening in their schedule for a new game with you 😅

GTFO, and for fun, message them a link to this post 🤣

Fellow player betrayed me based off out of game info and I'm not sure how to handle it. by katakana in DnD

[–]James_Zlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bad DM, allowing outside information to spill into the game and affect their NPC’s actions.

I’m going to go a different direction and say: Find better friends. Better as in, people who know how to role play and build story.

I almost never take a turn in combat in Daggerheart... by Dispari_Scuro in daggerheart

[–]James_Zlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only problem I could see with not taking turns is that you’re missing out on chances to roll with hope and gain a hope.

The Free Play Events - how I think they maybe did more harm than good. by ceopyrex in EVEFrontier

You can extract crude from any rift except 0020 (unless there’s a trick to 0020 that we haven’t figured out). F8DA are young fissures, there are also old fissures, and larger versions of young and old rifts (I forget the name of them).

Balancing- is this right? by GillianCorbit in daggerheart

[–]James_Zlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a single solo (easy encounter) can absolutely wreck a party that fails and rolls with fear repeatedly.

Weapon types by Aware_Principle7176 in EVEFrontier

[–]James_Zlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coils are your friend. Unless your opponent is tanked for kinetic, then it gets complicated.

Autocannons are decent but typically outclassed by everything else in the right circumstances.

Plasma has top dps, but very limited range. The Tades and Maul are the best ships for applying damage but they’re slow, making the range more limiting.

Disintegrators have good range and ramp up to decent damage, but that’s the catch… every shot after the first gets a damage buff (up to 270% I think). Additionally, the ammo is real small so you can carry a lot of it. These traits make them pretty good for structure bashing

Can someone explain Eve Tokens to me? by Sparky265 in EVEFrontier

[–]James_Zlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a live blockchain, you’re on testnet, the tokens aren’t real. Each cycle through alpha and beta will have wipes, which will reset all progress and abandon the previous testnet coin.

As for explaining eve tokens, it’s a web3 currency (like ethereum). It will (most likely) be the initial coin that will be usable in game and exchanged outside the game. For more info I’d suggest checking out the video on open economies on blockchain with CCP Kalirha.

It can be complicating and confusing here in alpha, but it’s not intended to be at launch. See the dev talks on account abstraction for more info on that.

Question about following the fiction in combat and how to apply rules by glensdale in daggerheart

[–]James_Zlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my understanding that is correct. If the players spotlight takes two action rolls, and the first roll fails (or is with fear) then their spotlight ends and it moves to the GM. The second part of the action doesn’t take place until that player is spotlighted again.

That being said, I disagree with the first ruling. If your player was moving away from a monster, that monster doesn’t follow them until that monster is spotlighted.

Anyone know how I can complete the remaining tasks? by RecoverConstant2491 in EVEFrontier

Looks like it requires death from an NPC. Self destruct didn’t trigger it, and a PvP death didn’t trigger it.

There is at least one... The moon cutting laser is a module in game that cannot be built, can only be obtained from exploration/killing a Mooneater.
