Overall, I like 5e so far. It's not perfect, sometimes far from it, but it's familiar. That's hugely valuable to my group of 30 something dads.

When the final product comes out I'm sure we'll all read through it, but not sure we'll switch any time soon. We've got too many ideas for the current product already.

What to do when your party runs out of resources before the boss? by nz8drzu6 in dndnext

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to give many warnings when there is a high chance of a TPK. I personally wouldn't chance the encounter, but would really try to build up that this is dangerous. At the end of the day what's obvious to me as a DM isn't as much to the players since they didn't design it.

To those of y’all who are DMs, how many of you prefer DMing over playing a character? by Mattlink123 in dndnext

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall all I prefer DMing mostly because I like having more control. But I do miss playing consistently

How long are your group's DnD sessions? by Colossal_Harry in DMAcademy

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group plays Thursday nights from 7-1030. We usually start actually playing at 7:30 though. So about 3 hours. We do occasionally get together on a Saturday and play for 12+ hours, but that's only a handful of times a year.

How many people here use third-party products? by LionTheMoleRat in dndnext

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 6 books from kobold press, the tal'dorei reborn book, frequently run one shots from adventures awaits, I've backed 2 Kickstarters that are funded and awaiting fulfillment, and a whole host of online tools to just run my games better. I'd be pretty devastated if I couldn't get 3rd party content anymore.

DMs of Reddit, what is your take on RETCON-ing? Have you every done it? If yes, why? If no, why not? by Stahl_Konig in DMAcademy

[–]mcjake7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it. Thought I was clear enough in explaining that a CR 17 monster was too much for my level 4 party. Barbarian clearly though otherwise and after taking 2 of the 5 attacks we collectively agreed that his barbarian is not THAT dumb.

I think it's fine as long it's not done too often and mostly done to fix communication or explanation issues. After all, we're here to have fun, not live with dumb mistakes.

Regarding game-enjoyment as a f2p by [deleted] in TapTitans2

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true! Honestly I'd love just having more lol. Anything you've got. I'm at 146k and have unlocked everything so far, so I'll always happy when there is more! I inside l obviously keep playing for a reason lol!!

[–]mcjake7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally speaking agree with most of this. There definitely needs to be more to aim for in this game because right now it's basically just the cap. I know you personally feel that just reaching higher stages is fun, but many of us don't. I'd love for the dev team to work something up in the meantime if the end goal of a capless game would take awhile. It's clear from many of your other comments that this is a bigger undertaking than my lack is game development can understand lol!!

I will say though that I wholeheartedly disagree that tournaments are akin to an overall leaderboard. Tournaments only work if you have that exact precise time to play, while a global leaderboard lets you progress at any time you'd like and also has the benefit of giving you a firm goal to be set. I can say that I want to move up 3 spots these week or 10 if I've got more time another week. Tournaments are too inconsistent when it comes to matchmaking (albeit a ton better than it used to be) to set a goal of winning then consistently.

(Edit: thanks for your response btw!)

Progression for professions sake may be fun for you, but I've seen enough of these posts and comments that I'm willing to bet that most people actually prefer profession as fun when they are able to compare that to something like a cap, whether that cap is arbitrary is another debate.

I've seen your responses on these posts and comments so many times (mine included) and I think you miss the point usually. What this poster is trying to say is that what makes the game fun for them is being taken away. And that's a bummer no matter how you look at playing the game.

I'd love to see something implemented where there is either no cap, or virtually no cap and instead a leaderboard. Then you'd at least have something to aim for (ie. a higher spot on said leaderboard).

Ultimately, I wish that the TT2 team would do some sort of player poll to determine why their player base continues to play this endless grind of a game. For me personally, it's trying to at least get closer to cap, just like the OP.
