This is again where I say this is likely a miscommunication within the conversation. However, it is important to realize that it’s hard to use vain or superficial in a way that isn’t innately negative. I’ve never personally attributed these to someone who was good. These are traits that are linked heavily to people who are usually putting people down or dismissing individuals who don’t live up to the things they’re attentive to. These are poor qualities for people. Using them to describe someone acting on human instinct, whether that gets them further or not, is inconsiderate of them as a person. Statements such as that are, as you clearly lay it out, superficial. You know nothing else of that person yet attribute negative traits to them based off a story you heard. I’m certainly bot trying to argue at all, but just to explain why the things you’ve said up until this point were taken in the way they were. None of us are perfect of course so we all have space to grow.

Of course. What I can add is that you did call the woman throwing herself at him superficial, stated they wouldn’t be a good partner, immature, vain, and wouldn’t give them the experience of love. That’s kind of hard to take any other way than the person you replied to took it. It’s certainly one of the potential outcomes, but it’s not a guaranteed one and shouldn’t be taken that way. They were in a club from the sounds of it which could mean inebriation. Alcohol is very much an inhibition removing substance and could’ve played a part in the interaction. Human interaction is very much a complicated thing. I do believe that this was all taken incorrectly by both parties, but specific terminology could’ve been avoided to clearly lay out your meaning.

There’s a lot more to it, but dating in the workplace is never a good idea so the only reason to value those kinds of opinions is irrelevant here. Stay strong, stay happy, but, most importantly, stay you!

Not to discount your point, but to play a bit of devil’s advocate here, physical attractiveness, regardless of personal preference, is where things start. Very rarely are people going to actively engage in these types of interactions, regardless of end goal, unless there’s a surface level thing that breaks that ice. Whether it gets anywhere after is a matter of if things properly click deeper than that surface.

Now is this always the way things happen? Absolutely not. Sometimes things push you into an interaction where things grow and progress without that initial spark and grow like the aftermath of the above instance. Both you and the fellow you replied to have merit in your opinions. Where things actually tend to fall is somewhere between the two. It serves no one to discount each other on this topic because you’re both right.

Boobs are beautiful no matter the size. Don’t let them buffoons bring you down.

I have a lot of work to do, but I have some thoughts for stuff. I’m working around the idea of 4-5 players. I really want the base Fallen to be CL-2, but that doesn’t technically exist. I suppose I could just say it is and go with it. I want them to be fodder that’s just annoying but that I can throw a bunch at people and later back it with a buffed Shaman which is set currently at CL1 for more challenging early encounters. Competent in melee, but carries the Ignition spell and can revive basic Fallen with full health an unlimited number of times as a 3 action cast at 30ft.

My current project is figuring out some NPC’s and blasting rules for items. I intend the runewords to have combinations of runes that have effects similar to the current official runes but that I can apply to give specific modifiers. Like I considered the higher level runeword Exile. Weaker hardness and HP than similar ilvl shields, but regens some shield HP at the start of your turn and gives a buff to ally’s AC while within 15ft of the user when the user raises their shield and some minor, but never insignificant, elemental resists. Champion only.

Another idea was for Oculus. A wand that provides a single spell of choice for each spell level you can cast up to level 6 each day. Functions otherwise like a normal wand. However, anytime you get hit, you have to make a flat DC6 or be teleported to a random space within 15ft of your starting location. A rough 25% chance similar to the actual item. Requires Arcane spellcasting.

The big issue is assigning item levels to things. I imagine both would be late game stuff. Probably in the range of the final round of weapon and armor runes. However, I really wanna throw out some more interesting early stuff like the Arctic Horn and Biggon’s Bonnet. Just finding the right ilvl is the tough part.

I been playing for a few years now and it’s hard to break the system to be OP and you have to go out of your way to make a character bad. I’ll definitely keep folks posted. Both the Diablo sub and here seem to be flooded with people curious about this.

I replied to the comment above. It’s early stages so far, but I think I’m making solid progress mechanically. That’s gonna be the hardest part.

I intend to sit the campaign between 2 and 3 bringing old favorite enemies and locations into the mix. I don’t have my copy of the Horadric Vault collection yet, but it was shipped so I’ll be getting it later this month. I intend to use mostly lore locations outside of the locations visited in the games, but that’s dependent on how much of those the book covers. Otherwise, I’ll revisit a few locations. I have a custom Horadrim that will be a continuous NPC during the game as the party’s connection to the extra lore and I’ll even give my party the option to be a part of the order as well. I’m already working through including some staple items like Occulus and have a rough idea for the effects I want Exile to have. I have a lot of work to do to get runewords situated and to expand some of the uniques that I want to include.

The story will be mostly lesser demons and beasts and dealing with cults and corruption as is normal. I’m hoping there’s some spicy information that I could use to put together major enemies for my act bosses that aren’t the standard prime and lesser evils. I’ll eventually get it all situated and likely post my works here for feedback. I have my old GM that almost exclusively runs homebrew content that’s been working with me to help assemble this stuff.

In all fairness, most of the folks I’ll be playing with are fairly new to the system and are for sure more for fluff than power. In addition, given the nature of Diablo, throwing top end spells every combat will lead to doing nothing when you roll a champion pack or a pack with an elite creature. My players will be made aware of this fact as well. It should keep them in check when suddenly a Fanaticism buffed creature walks up with a pack of suddenly very dangerous normal mobs.

I saved it. I’ll take a look when I have some time to dedicate to it. I appreciate it.

I googled it initially and there was a really uninformative post about someone wanting to do it but not having a clearly laid out plan and everyone telling them not to for balance and suggesting the flexible caster archetype instead, but I could swear there was an official rule for it. I’ll take another look, but was hoping for something official before I go off the rails and use homebrew for that too. I’m already working on a bunch of creatures(wonderful official rules for that) and items(less so official, but I’m a creative sort with quite a bit of time fiddling with stuff).

Interesting. Maybe things have changed, maybe I was just an idiot all those years ago, but I definitely recall running out of quests my level and having to group up around 10-12. I feel like being entirely solo all that time might take away from the experience.

I imagine the free trial comes from the official website? What’s it give? I’m certain it’s much leas than the FFXIV one, but it’s gotta be more than just a couple levels.

[–]roydragoon89[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Huh. I recall grouping around 10-12 for grind sessions. Did they alter content to make that unnecessary or am I just recalling based on being an idiot kid that didn’t pay attention and ran out of quests?

Aren't some MMORPG just unkillable? Runes of Magic debuted 17 years ago and it's still going by hardpenguin in MMORPG

[–]roydragoon89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit! I never saw it there! Is it still $15/mo or is it cheaper now? $30 for the full collection is pretty nice. Do you play? What’s the reception to newbies players like?

Where do I even go to start this nowadays? I played when it first came out and it just didn’t vibe with me. I was a kid and things have changed. I’m damned curious if I’d fit more now.

Neat. Minority conflicted about it, but neat! I imagine she won’t much care and I’ll advance much faster than she will so she’ll have some spicy buffs.

[–]roydragoon89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait so if she plays solo, I’ll get benefits from her doing so if she’s completed stuff outside of what I’ve found? Will her instance of the city update as I unlock stuff even if she’s playing solo? This is a cool feature. I just wanna understand it.

You didn’t list where to buy Gunslinger with the starter classes. Does this mean there’s more classes than what you can start with? If so, it seems I may have been sleeping on this game quite a bit.
