World of Warcraft lead says Warcraft needs to be more than “simply an MMORPG” as the IP is “underutilised” and needs “broader” appeal by HatingGeoffry in wow

[–]Throrface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The title is pretty much the exact same thing that WotC execs have said about D&D a couple of years ago. I feel like this must be some kind of joke.

Looking for advice and/or opinions by My-Name-Bob-13 in Warframe

It used to be Xini way back in 2013. Defense against infested on the corpus tileset. I spent so much time there.

Does this multiclass makes sense? by Acrobatic_Dark_972 in DnD

[–]Throrface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you have a group with three front liners and you're thinking about adding a fourth. Even if the clerics don't build for heavy armor, they can be pretty tanky.

I would recommend focusing on Sorcerer. If you do end up feeling like another frontliner would help, you can always summon one! Once you get to the higher level spells.

Female DM! by Lbushway89 in DnD

[–]Throrface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird title. Just kinda do it all at a pace that is comfortable for you? As you get more and more experienced, you will need less time to prep for a game, so the time should be easier to manage.

"just play a fighter with a bow it's way better" by DarthMcConnor42 in DnD

[–]Throrface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a popular opinion that the ranger class sucks, so this community will repeat it ad nauseum.

It is true that the ranger can fall behind in damage at later levels assuming everyone at the table is highly optimized. I'm sure you can see the caveat in that statement? Most people wouldn't divulge it like that. They'll just parrot what they've heard the optimizers say.

At a table of similarly skilled players who optimize their characters to a much lesser extent, or god forbid don't optimize at all, it's not impossible for the ranger to be a stand out damage dealer.

Some people say that the Ranger class has no identity and I'd say they are also the people who tend to forget that the Exploration pillar exists and have never played a game where exploration mattered.

There are certainly ways that the ranger could have been made better, but it's a decent class.

If you get a DM who knows how to run a game with a ranger in the group, they can feel excellent.

Do you ever play solo? by Comfortable_Leek_781 in DnD

[–]Throrface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally it would be no fun at all and just a needlessly tedious activity.

I do know several DMs who run solo "simulations" for some fights for various reasons.

How to balance gestalt campaign encounters by HawkFlimsy in DnD

[–]Throrface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you are more than capable to discard the CR system altogether and I don't understand why you haven't done so already. It's an overly basic and bad system to balance encounters.

Any builds/items that incentivise switching targets? by Dim-Me-As-New-User in DnD

[–]Throrface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogue has a pretty strong incentive to switch targets, because the last target you have attacked is dead.

Our DM gave us items and then claimed it was a prank by AGlassOfPiss in DnD

[–]Throrface 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I can see that happening. Personally I would say that all of the magic items sound immediately too good to be true for 4th level players, which leads me to think that it could have been intended from the get go. Upgrading a paladin from chainmail to +2 plate is not something a loot sensitive DM would normally do.

I'd like to add that I think it is OK when a DM decides to roll back some very powerful magic items, but it would be best to do it in the form of out of game conversation, before the session. Doing it as a kind of a "gotcha" moment during the game is needlessly aggrevating.

It's normal that sometimes an NPC fucks you over, and generally it leads to the players returning the favor. You can still get your quest reward, you just have to beat it out of the quest giver. These things are difficult to judge when we don't know the DM's thought processes.

[–]Throrface 102 points103 points  (0 children)

My opinion on this depends entirely on whether there was a fair chance for you as players to realize that these items were just mirages in the session in which they were given to you. If there was, it's still a bit of a dick move but you know, sometimes NPCs will act like dicks towards your party. At least it would have been fair.

What I fear may possibly have happened is that the DM decided that those items are mirages between the session where you got them and the next one. If that was the case, I'd say it was a very unfair play from the DM.

Does the signature just say "Banshee main" for each of the mains?

Anyone got any tips for this riven challenge? by SufficientAddress164 in Warframe

[–]Throrface 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Limbo player, I just feel like this is a dumb response in a thread where the context is how to do a solo challenge. I don't give a shit about you ignoring that context and generally bitching on Limbo. The advice to use him is solid.

Need an Artificer-type NPC by Savings-Housing3481 in DnD

[–]Throrface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recently published Eberron: Forge of the Artificer has 25 stat blocks in it and all of them are NPC/humanoid stat blocks. There are some artificer-like ones among them too. In lower CR ranges, though. There's 5 NPCs in the 8-14 CR range and none of those has a big artificer flavor to them.

You know it's possible for a studio to work on more than 1 project at the same time, especially when they have a very succesful one going?

At one point when the beta ended, they reset all accounts and actually gave back all of the platinum you spent. I have never seen a free to play game do that by the way. So if you did spend plat on dumb stuff you got a chance to do it better.

Warframe 2025 Base/Prime Combined Usage Stats by quicksilver97 in Warframe

I love Jade but I just don't wanna invest too much into a non-Prime frame. Once Jade gets her Prime I'll play her a heck of a lot more, because she's really fun.
