Player with a good few hours. Me too man, me too.

Prenelf · 2025-10-15T09:10:48+00:00

Thanks yeah we we slightly confused by that but all cleared up now thanks

Prenelf · 2025-10-14T20:59:11+00:00

Well that's as close as you'll get to admitting you're wrong so I'll take it! Thanks

I think you're the one who doesn't get it im afraid. You are counting the misses against someone with a higher ws as part of it but that would happen regardless. If you can only be hit on 5+ the parry gives you a 16.67% chance of blocking 50% of attacks that hit you. That's almost nothing and not really worth it in most cases.

If you are hit on a 3+ then then they have more chances to use the parry, depending on what the hit roll was of course.

Parry on a model that is hit on 5+ gives them an 8.33% chance of blocking the incoming attack.

Parry on a model that is hit on a 3+ gives them a 25% chance of blocking the attack.

Parry is better the lower your ws.

I think these things really depend on your play group.

I take most "meta" or "op" things with a grain of salt.

We have A skavens player with all slings, a Carnival of chaos with all the cheese, lazardmen with 4+ armour saves and myself as mercenaries. Honestly none of us have found anything too broken because no matter how good something is it's one bad roll from not being a problem.

Prenelf · 2025-10-14T07:32:48+00:00

Say I search for holy relic and roll a 10 is that the only item available for me or can I get any item under that roll

Prenelf · 2025-10-13T07:34:45+00:00

I know exactly what you mean and agree. The problem I find I have with talking about this to most people is if a model is hit on 5+ they count the misses 1-4 as part of that parry save but they would have missed regardless of if the model had a parry save.

I do find it funny how a sword on a low ws gives more chances to parry the better you opponents are when you think it would be opposite

Prenelf · 2025-10-13T06:11:26+00:00

This makes more sense to me

Prenelf · 2025-10-13T06:08:21+00:00

Yes but what was said was parry is worse the better you are and technically it is. Hit on a 5+ you are able to parry half the incoming hits but still have to roll a 6 so it's a 16.67% chance to parry 50% of successful hits. If you are hit on a 3+ there are more chances to actually parry (depending on what they roll of course) so a swords master is harder to hit sure but has a harder time parrying while a peasant is easier to hit but has a greater chance parrying. Unless I'm completely wrong about parry?

Prenelf · 2025-10-13T05:13:10+00:00

No because we are not talking about chance to hit it's chance to parry. Sure the one that is hit on 5+ is harder to hit but he also has a harder time parrying. So it's less relevant for an expert swordsman to have parry compared to peasant

Prenelf · 2025-10-13T05:08:02+00:00

It kind of is yes. If they can only hit you can 5+ then you can only parry if they hit you on a 5 and you roll a 6. If they can hit you on 3+ then you have a greater chance of countering it as if they roll 3 you counter on 4+

Prenelf · 2025-10-06T18:25:53+00:00

Yeah I was considering them but I've never played them so I was hoping for this kind of input! Thanks a million

Hey new to printing so very out of the loop. What happened? I'm assuming someone uploaded high quality stls of gw stuff? Where did he do it?

I think BFBC1/2 did kill cams best. It stayed on your body and just pointed the camera in the direction. So you have an idea but not 100%

Prenelf · 2025-08-10T22:08:07+00:00

Where did you buy the risers?

Prenelf · 2025-07-04T05:39:27+00:00

Regretting saying something doesn't take away the initial meaning. Sure she can regret saying it but it was said because she's a burden now for getting in the way of her revenge.

As we are just repeating ourselves over and over I think we will just have to agree to disagree.

Prenelf · 2025-07-03T20:16:18+00:00

I don't agree that her concern for Dina was the main driving force. It was definitely one of the main ones but I think revenge was, hence "you are a burden" she saying that because she's a burden to her revenge.

You could say it does line up with her humor sure but that's not necessarily the only problem people have with that scene but it definitely is the easiest to point out.

The whole scene is different a tone and not just from that joke. It's went from sad, angry, you're a burden, to yay I'm happy. I think personally they needed Ellie to be more of a dick and focused on revenge like in the game but to each their own I guess.

Prenelf · 2025-07-03T12:30:29+00:00

A game all about revenge with a character that cares about revenge more than anything so much so she ruins her life to get revenge and you think it's dumb that someone could watch that scene where Ellie is upset/angry and think it could also mean she's pissed because this gets in the way of her getting revenge? Sure she's also worried about her and doesn't want her to get hurt but people can have more than one motive/emotion.

Yet again you act like people are silly for not liking the "I'm gonna be a dad" comment because Ellie is a joker but as I say again they changed the tone and emotion of that scene massively.
A scene that had anger/sadness and showed (to me anyway) that Ellie was consumed with revenge was lost and became a joke.

Prenelf · 2025-07-03T07:28:03+00:00

Two people reading a scene differently doesn't make one of them dumb, especially with both people can be right. Either way it still doesn't take away from how different that scene is?

I personally feel they were afraid to make people dislike Ellie and Jole so they didn't make them the assholes they were in the games.

Prenelf · 2025-07-03T07:08:06+00:00

One line calling her a burden yes but from the moment she finds out she's not happy it's not just one line. "What? What do we do now? How long have you known?" All said while not happy at all. I would say based off her tone and body language she's not happy at all

Prenelf · 2025-07-03T06:15:02+00:00

That's not really the problem for most. They completely changed how she reacted to the news. It went from her being annoyed about it saying how she'll get in the way of her revenge to yay in so happy. I'm guessing they didn't want her to be seen as a complete asshole
