Bay 12 Games Forum

Playing Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition. Eberron setting. We have managed to purchase one airship, and steal two others. We end up fighting a small sky fleet. Our only cleric is dying on boat #1. I'm flying boat #2. Boat #3 is beyond the range of helping out, so it is entirely up to me to get the boats hooked up. DM asks me for a couple of different skill checks to keep the ship under control, maneuvered, and to pull up alongside the other one. Two natural 1's and another roll that is a definitive failure. DM rules that I fly my ship through the other one and end up wrecking them both in a fiery sky death. Farewell, Timothy the half-elven monk. Improved evasion does very little for extreme gravity and ship crashes.

Theres your problem... You dont dodge the ground, you ATTACK! (and miss)

Hmm, Well, I'm sticking to NC on MAtherson, maybe I'll just find some other casual group to join, since it appears we're spreading thin.

Wow... I was so excited for this, but it got to the point where I didn't expect it to ever happen. And then this!
A huge congrats! I wish I could've helped support it! And I really look forward to where this goes, more than any other kickstarter I've seen.
In all honesty, I think this is the most important game of the next couple of years. If this can revitilize the Genre, gaming will only be better for it!

I'm on Matherson right now, just poking around. Do we have a Unit yet?

Why is everyone so uppity about time commitment to the MMO? WoW makes you play for a month before you can ride a friggin' horse, whereas I can earn a minor upgrade each day with only a few hours of play (plus yesterdays offline cert gain), or a large upgrade in a week of play probably.

Minor nitpick: You can ride a horse at level 20 now iirc, which is attainable in a few hours of good play.

Level 20?? in a few hours?! Back in my day it took weeks to get to level 20, and you were only halfway to a horse then. And we had to walk uphill both ways, in the blowing snow, to get to Ironforge

Well... Ironforge is still uphill through snow, but only one way. But yes you could likely get to level 20 in 6-8 hours if you did nothing but quest and grind. Only took me about a day to do it, and I was goofing off and crafting last time I played.

Kids these days just get everything handed to them. PAH!

Well, I can tell one way to not have any fun, and that is farming for cert-points, if you do that you will never enjoy the game, just do what you want to, the default guns are my favs, This is not a game you can play to win. You just have to have fun.

I used to be TR, but so many ppl + friends play NC I was forced to change, as for Vanu they should all die, infact TR and NC should take a saturday to team up and crush them for their petty insolence.

I was going to say pretty much all of this (except the TR bit). Right now what I'm hearing is "I'm gameing the game, why is it not fun?". It's like people who purposefuly utilize exploits, then complain how the exploits ruin the fun of the game. The cert points are designed so all play styles will gain xp/certs, not so that you can carefully calcutlate maximum cert intake/hour and carefully craft a 20 stage plan to increase point growth.
