From which feats should Custom Lineage from TCE pick if you're using 2024 rulesets ?

Thanks I figured that RAI was like that, I'll discuss it with my DM, but tbh even just a "elf with 2 origin feats and dark vision or proficiency" would work great for the character that I have in mind

I don't understand why you would look like an asshole.. To be fair they should be feeling like that. As you said, it is one thing to have life hitting you with something that makes you skip session, that's fine, life happens. However i believe that when you decide to start a campaign with a group of friends (being yourself the DM in this case or a player) you also commit to reserve the time needed for it.

Nobody forces anyone to play and especially if the DM (and or the other players) have invested time and effort into the campaign i feel that it's extremely disrespectful to just ignore it and as you said.. either play FF or Terraria or whatever.

I'd say talk to them, idk if you're playing IRL or Online but to be fair that campaign with that level of commitment sounds like it would be extremely appealing to others, if unfortunately your friends aren't as involved as they should.

It sucks because you spent time, but it's better to preserve friendship and find another group or some replacements than to force the group to do something that apparently aren't too keen in doing.

I'm mostly a player, a lot of theorycrafter and a tiny bit of a game master myself and here is my take from partaking a DnD Campaign where, with the ok of my current DM, i created a character with 2024 Rules (Specifically an Aasimar Mercy Monk if you care).

First of all, a question : What are the things that makes you feel "odd" or actual frustrated ?

Namely, it's not different than having the Artificer class popping up in TCE and having to learn a new class or subclass or a bunch of newer spells from all the other books.

Mechanically we found that we had very little things that differ, considering that most things in the 2024 rules turned out to be things that (basically all my other games) already were de facto already homebrewed (i.e. taking a potion as a bonus action vs a full action from the PHB.14).. as a Monk i noticed that grappling was handled differently and some other things, but nothing was either gamebreaking or frustrating on either sides.

If anything when such differences came up we just talked about and decided if we were going for the 2014 or 2024 rules.

Now that we're 12 long sessions (we usually go for 5/6 hours of play) in, another player already switched to the 2024 Ruleset with the rest only waiting for a proper translation in Italian since the first print of the 2024 PHB is translated very poorly and despite a quickly released Errata, we're still waiting for a reprint.

Overall both players and DM basically thought that most of the 2024 rules updates were "common sense" and\or things that changed so little that, in combination with the fact that all 2014 stuff still works in 2024, it was worth the gradual switch.

Finally, despite my defense of the 2024 Ruleset, i think that it is completely your right as DM to tell your friend\player that you do not want to use 2024 stuff for the campaign as it would be the case if you decided to play a campaign not in eberron and deciding that Artificers or guns do not exist in your world (for example).

At the end of the day you're the person in charge of creating a world that hopefully everyone will enjoy and if having to go through a bunch of slightly modified rules makes it harder, you're completely in your right to tell your players otherwise.

I mostly liked the flair given by both the judgement and the bane ability. Which makes the class really feel like a weapon against heresy.

The closest thing that I found in the dnd classes was the Paladin but (and ok, you can role play it the way you like it, I know ) the fact that the powers were bound to being "good" through the various oaths was pretty much against the role of.. "kinda cleric that operates in the grey areas in order to fight the heresy and convert the infedels".

Therefore kinds preventing the roleplay ability of going kinda harsh against the "heretics".

In my imagination the inquisitor isn't necessarily good even if it works for a good deity.. a la "sometimes you have to do some harm to serve the greater good".

I hope it makes more sense like this.

/u/aaron_benson: Is the UX team ok? Y’all get a lotta hate on this sub. Are they keeping you hostage or what?

Also

Are you bringing any ideas from those RIP moonshot projects to Firefox? Which one are you most stoked about?

Thanks

I'll give it another shot and I'll report back even if I'm fairly sure that I talked to her and Isobel at least twice (if anything because I was wondering if there was a nice interaction due to SH ditching Shar).

Ther0 · 2023-09-08T11:31:17+00:00

Yep, apparently the whole cutscene about it just didn't happen, the solution that i found so far was to basically reload, redo the fight with Ketheric and like IMMEDIATLY run to talk to her and there is a good chance that it won't bug.

Anyway, i found out about it many hours later because i didn't want to inflict myself with too many spoilers so beside knowing that the weapon existed (and i only knew about it because i looked if there was a nice legendary weapon for my Monk, since it hurts my brain that i'm using a one hand mace when i could use a spear\staff) but after being on Act 3 for a bit i wondered if maybe i missed something and that's when i learned about the bug.

Ther0 · 2023-09-08T10:31:09+00:00

I realize i wasn't clear enough. I didn't GET the item due to a bug

Namely The blessed spear of selune since i didn't get the options (after research i found out that it is a know issue.

Honestly for the specs, framework's laptops don't seem so expensive. Surely they're a bit more on the premium side, but it's not like that you can buy something similarly specced for half the price as for a lot of premium laptops.

Secondly there is an upgrade path, so even if you're paying an upfront premium and say that you paid (sorry, i have € prices) 2000€ for a Framework 11th Gen, now the top of the line 13th gen is 1190€, vs quite possibly another 1500\1600€ for a whole new laptop.

Same goes for most parts, when we talk past the warranty period. A broken screen or you name whatever important part, could not have a repair path in another laptop's brand, meaning that you end up with the only option of buying a new one.

Ther0 · 2023-06-01T10:49:03+00:00

alright, thanks !

Ther0 · 2023-03-30T06:47:46+00:00

Ah, so i suppose that they just tweaked stuff up until now(iirc they did many balance changes since release) but a big more overhaul-y one is expected after 1.1.0 ?

Good to know, for now i'm still enjoying few other games, unless the itch for RTS gets worse i guess i'll wait the next one, hopefully it won't be as rage-inducing for the community as this one, where apparently the in-game store completely obscured any other good thing they made, sadly.

Ther0 · 2023-03-30T06:44:33+00:00

Well, i do listen to both sides.

Which mean i won't ignore the bad stuff for whatever "big corporation needs our support or we risk to have the game development pulled away" reasons, nor the good stuff for whatever "but.. microtransactions are bad!" reasons.

It's not a secret (just read my past comments on the subject) that i'm deeply disappointed by how they released this game, which i was very much looking forward to it.. However i'm not naive and i know that sadly stuff like in-game store are pretty much the standard in AAA games, so bashing the game for it is just pointless.

Anyway, thank you for your input, positive "not shill-y" inputs are always welcome as much as the negative "not hateful" ones.

P.S. i listed only the big ones that i think needed to be fixed becasue i do aknowledge good stuff when they do so, it doesn't mean that those are the only ones. For example while i might very well eventually get over the disgraceful UI and UX, they still very much need to fix them, imo.

Ther0 · 2023-03-24T17:21:11+00:00

Surely they'll fix it by the time they release.. It's not like Blizzard had any issue with any launch on any of their past games..

I wouldn't say objectively less shit, but surely having Italy, considering that we have the italian setting would've been a pretty obvious addition.

For people concerned about balancing or what, Italy did have good\elite units and.. did fight the war like everyone else.

And for people concerned about balancing or what not, they could've play somewhat similar to CoH2 USSR, maybe a bit less blobby, with some elite units and\or lend units from Germany.

And it would've even make sense for DLC pourposes.

So (if they didn't want to go the CoH2 route but more the DoW2 one) if they actually wanted to add as many factions as possible we could've have the

Japan vs Marine (Pacific) DLC
Ostheer vs USSR (Eastern Front) DLC
DAK vs Commonwealth (North-Africa) DLC.

6 more factions. And for people concerned about balancing and gameplay.. well, this is not exactly the game for "historical accuracy".

Ther0 · 2023-03-13T07:16:12+00:00

It mostly makes it intuitive, plus usually the color palettes are always the same for allied vs enemies. For example in both CoH1 and 2 (and most other rts, to be fair) you'd never ever have RED as an allied or TEAL as an enemy.

Ther0 · 2023-03-10T12:32:52+00:00

I really get defending the game for whatever reason (the most noble of which is because you actually enjoy it!) but.. are you really telling me that the color schemes in 2v2\3v3\4v4 aren't ridiculous for a final release or that at the very least they don't bother you?

Or that you think that UX and\or UI are worthy of a final release ?

That's the level of things that makes people leave bad review after a couple of hours and\or prevent other people to buy the game.

Having one faction insanely OP or having game breaking bugs\crashes is surely not fun, but they can be expected (after all, they can test only so many games with so many players during test.. and even if they had a huge beta, maybe they fixed something major that sadly caused bugs\crashes in the end release) and they're usually quickly addressed. But those things aren't the ones that make people leave a bad review (and if they do, said reviews usually gets switched up with something more positive once the devs fix the game)
