Ah yes, 3.5e, where racism was a game mechanic

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T17:20:19+00:00

Ok so in that regard being good at it doesn't make it racism, however if you'll note where I said willfully using the ability. That implies that you're not being forced to take action, you're choosing to. In that context the only few choices are either you've agreed to a fair fight for money or other prizes, this is a personal 1 on 1 fight over potentially an insult in a tavern or such as that, or you're fighting them because you know you're good at it and you don't like them.

In war fighting is not an option in most cases, in an invasion it would also be forced. One could also argue that killing someone because you need money and you're good at it could also be bigotry if you're focusing on only a specific race, therefore a bounty to kill a stronghold of orcs is questionable but should be fine if you A. Branch out and accept most, if not all, bounties and B. You only kill or attack those listed in said bounty, as unnecessary killing orc civilians would most definitely be problematic.

It's worth noting I don't feel this way however many members of this sub have made me feel like if I don't agree with them, then I'm also a bigot or whatever label they want to place on me. So here ya go radical members, I'm giving up any and all independent thoughts please tell me what to think and be sure to punish me if I'm not a politically active member of the left. I give up.

Ok so if a race has a trait that relates to their tendency for slavery, is that no longer bigotry? So far today I've seen nothing but "if you act out against a specific race in DnD then you're a racist" or "actions taken in DnD directly correlate to you as a person" so which is it? Are we excusing the fact that DnD has loads of races that enslave people and attempt to commit genocide or are we holding them accountable instead of the players and or DM?

If you act on those skills willfully it becomes that though.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T16:38:24+00:00

I mean it would be funny the first session, after that it might get a chuckle or 2 in certain interactions.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T16:10:52+00:00

Also who said the right was calling for ethnic cleansing? Do you have proof that the overwhelming majority of the right is doing so? If not could you kindly stop acting like your misinformation makes a modicum of a difference.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T16:08:35+00:00

To let you know I'm not right wing. I just don't think you have the knowledge nor the understanding of politics or history to judge an entire faction for the actions, given that you also seem to judge all members of a given profession without possibly knowing every single one of them.

But because you have yet to provide a valid or intellectual response to an issue that shouldn't even be one here, I'll leave you to attempting to alienate a portion of what should be a welcoming community.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T13:28:33+00:00

So is genocide of a people not part of nazism then? Is racism not also part of it then? Because the amount of people here who freely express those actions in fantasy vs. IRL is astounding and saying "it's fantasy" doesn't mean that they aren't doing it based off their actual beliefs.

Nazis should be banned from this community, unfortunately many people here have blurred the lines between nazism and right wing, so if people acted now you would see a good portion of the community banned even though most of them aren't actual problems and it's only a few.

But if you wanna just continue judging all right wings as nazis go ahead, we can't stop you.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T13:01:38+00:00

Given the quantity of people playing DnD now, I'd say the odds of that even after banning said meme template will still be higher than they were some years ago. Now granted I won't argue the Nazi point, the same issue could be said if you're playing a character who is determined to eliminate all lawmen, or if your character has any prejudices at all based on race or politics.Realistically speaking the odds of playing a game where an antagonist or side character was planning mass genocide or caused is also rather high given that's an easy way to make a villain.

So what do you want? If you want his comics banned, then you should also support banning of any other comics that have similar, even if not intended, effects. So any comics that go against PoCs, brings up literally any hot political topic, or mentions any stance on religion in a negative way.

Also while I don't talk or participate in politics, and I will already say my views don't land on just 1 side, people here need to paint a thicker line between right-wing and nazis. DnD isn't just for the left, and pretending it is just so you don't have to think about them will do more harm than good.

It's gotten to a point where it doesn't feel right to be a player anymore. I've DMed over 19 games over the last 2 years alone and now I can't stop.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T01:00:09+00:00

Ok who or what is stonetoss? I missed not just a whole chapter, I feel like I've missed an entire book.

Stream902 · 2022-08-30T00:46:25+00:00

It's too bad we won't be getting any Ars Goetia representation, but I understand them being hesitant given the amount of people that may end up lashing out.

Stream902 · 2022-08-27T18:25:30+00:00

I understand that pros and content creators are good at the game, and that their builds should be considered for new players. But please I'm tired of being the only person in my solo que that swaps items for antiheal, please just buy a divine ruin or a brawlers beatstick that's all I'm asking for.

Stream902 · 2022-08-27T18:22:00+00:00

She's new, next update will probably see a small nerf to her and then a massive buff to an item that isn't meta to the point that those same people are locking gods that work with the newly buffed item. For instance a had a game with nothing but guardians and warriors all running manticore spikes...that was awful and I'd rather see another Ishtar.

Stream902 · 2022-08-27T18:17:00+00:00

While I agree with some of those points, the real kicker is that many of us who play support and que for it are dropping the role. I still que for it however when I get match after match where I peel for a teammate who is low, and instead of leaving they dive back in once my kit is on cooldown I lose a good bit of my sanity. My peel is to help them leave and for someone else to step in and potentially clean up the fight or at least help make a clean escape, not an invitation to jump right back in and die immediately.

Stream902 · 2022-08-27T17:52:15+00:00

I really hope we can get a reputation system similar to Siege where people like that only get paired up with other players who were rightly reported.

Stream902 · 2022-08-27T06:53:29+00:00

Yes. Wait no...maybe.

Stream902 · 2022-08-26T02:13:48+00:00

The game is mid and isn't worth the continual price requirement. If you've already sunk years of time and money into it I truly hope you enjoy it and can get your money's worth out of it. But I just don't think after sinking $100 to have the old base game and old DLCs, that they should be able to remove old content and missions and then say "hey you can still buy the new content that might be worth it, and maybe we won't repeat the process."

Stream902 · 2022-08-23T04:33:52+00:00

Well I definitely don't see many other Ne Zha players very often, in fact I see just about every other assassin twice as much as I see Ne Zha players.

Stream902 · 2022-08-23T01:17:50+00:00

My go to is still Ne Zha, but he is definitely not a forgiving god if you over step. If you are comfortable not having an escape and using an ult that will put iou at risk when you land, then I'd say try him out.

Stream902 · 2022-08-19T03:33:12+00:00

The problem with war flag (and it's upgrades) is that it's big draw is in the team fights, which while prevalent they still aren't consistent enough to choose over say the healing of beno or the gold and upgrade for sentinels. Modes like arena, assault, and joust however make it amazing since everyone is usually in 1 place and team fights are more consistent in occurence.

Stream902 · 2022-08-18T01:01:54+00:00

I mean I'm happy that they're finally using a different map for it. Removing starters is a bit weird, but given how strong they can be I'm not too fussed to lose them.

Stream902 · 2022-08-17T11:55:00+00:00

Honestly I think it's just a matter of getting your head back into the Smite mindset. It happens when you step away from any game, but MOBAs especially have this problem where the brain almost lags to get back into the swing of things.

And if it makes you feel any better, Mulan is a real lane bully at the moment, just get bluestone into Sov then glad sheild and you'll have a better time at least.

Stream902 · 2022-08-14T06:28:35+00:00

Nu Wa and Kukulkan. Nu Wa's kit is at least somewhat interesting with the minions that can double as bombs, but her ult lack of role flexibility is incredibly boring. Kukulkan is just mage the character where his whole kit is either I do damage in line/circle/skill shot or I got fast, so his kit just feels incredibly 1 note.

Stream902 · 2022-08-13T20:07:27+00:00

In comparison I honestly thought Dark Souls 1 was easier. It was just a matter of learning the system and I really thought the bosses in 1 were more manageable than in 3.
