GGG do not give in to the crying masses

Tell em! I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.

" Wait, what? In parties only the mobs LIFE scales!! That's incredibly dumb. Here I am soloing my way through merciless for fear of the chaos snakes' damage in a group. Man am I ever a NOOB... |

" No, not insults but a fact of life. The masses are exactly that - the proletariat, the sheep, canon fodder, the mindless followers. That's why they are the "masses." I'm not sure I can explain this any simpler... The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an
asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji? | |
" Maybe you should learn the difference between a fact and an opinion. For example.... IMO people like you are whats wrong with the forums. See how that works? Standard Forever

" Do you think not having floating damage numbers makes this game hard? " And you are one of them. How does it feel? A side not on this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect Last edited by Grildrak#3477 on Mar 11, 2013, 4:08:50 PM

That sort of thread cracks me up :) "mindless masses of sheep", "the few". Lol.
And then a pile of guys try to one-up each other in "hardcoreness" and detestation of "casuals". To prove they're "part of the proud few". It reminds me of some threads about rogue-likes... Where the local "hardcores" were explaining how games should only be played in green ASCII on black (to mimic prehistoric monitors) and then got into fights about how many lines of characters you could display to stay true to the original spirit. There's a huge difference between wanting deep, complex systems and a gameplay hard to master for the challenge... And making a fetish of ANYTHING that can keep the "dumb masses" away. Because, while in the first case you're just enjoying beinh challenged by the game... In the second you're just desesparately trying to be a "special snowflake". Which, frankly, no on cares about. And anyway, there's no black and white divide between people. Not only do terms like "hardcore" and "casual" cover a continuum, but no two people agreee about what EXACTLY they entail. Playtime ? Taste for complexity ? Resistance to boredom ? Apart from being "Us" vs "Them", that is. Whoever "We" might be. So, wherever you draw the line, it WILL be a compromise. Tuned to a smaller population, sure, but yet a compromise. |

" yeah yeah, the endless numbers of ignorant arrogant douchebags that think they are better then others. i hate those ! :> ign: Lucador / Zashah

" I do know the difference between fact and opinion. And everybody knows in the world what the "masses" refer to. Unless you identify with the masses, then you may take issue with what I said. But it is what it is and cannot be changed. The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an
asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji? | |

@Grildrad:
*rolls eyes* the Dunning–Kruger effect is so over quoted... Try to come up with something just a wee bit more creative/intellectual. The Pope quit, a meteor fell on Russia, an
asteroid came close to the earth, there's snow in Arizona, star wars and star trek have the same director! Who the hell is playing jumanji? |
