Having us kill civilians in Oriath Square is tasteless.

" Thanks, Fruz. You and I often disagree, but at least we can do so in interesting ways. For what it's worth, this thread has played out almost exactly as I predicted in the original post. A friend who no longer posts in these forums (but is well known and used to be quite active) asked me yesterday what I hoped to accomplish by creating the topic. My answer was rather simple: "Make thoughtful people think a bit more. And if the less-thoughtful regulars are annoyed at the same time, well, that's fine by me." Based on the responses in this thread, I'd say both of those goals have been met in spades. Thoughtful people who agree with me and thoughtful people who disagree with me have created good posts. I am grateful to both. Slightly, ahem, "less-than-thoughtful" people have created troll posts and or strawmen (the Shagsbeard strawman being the most common), while also expressing their irritation with the topic's existence. The former show that I didn't waste my time. The latter make me giggle with glee. Wash your hands, Exile!

" Run through area? No quest to kill anything there. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

" Do you understand what this section of the forum is for ? " So, because the game does not realistically (yeah, expecting players to use single target skills past a1 or 2 ....) allow you to save civilians (that nothing would lead us to think that they are guilty, enough to deserve being slaughtered), you should see them (or know that they are going to) be masscred even though you obviously have the power level to do something about it ? and .... for what ? (because that is the premise here, this serves no actual purpose) SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

"And what would be the point of your response, if it isn't a kind of virtue signaling? Also, whether real names are known or not, the question "Is this really anonymous?" arises when you've got long term posters interacting again and again on the forums for years on end. Every now and again while moving through that zone I notice the bits and bytes coded to act as bystanders dying to my character's auto-targeting or AOEs. The feeling that arises isn't particularly strong, but it isn't particularly good either. It's also an odd design choice given how the rest of the game works, and so it (at least temporarily) weakens whatever sense of immersion might otherwise exist. I can see why somebody could have a strong enough negative reaction to want to make the OP. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?

I'm actually disappointed that that "SJWs suck!" rant (thank you, whoever you are, I'm sorry I don't remember your name) was deleted by a mod.
It didn't really break the CoC in any way I can see ("obnoxious antagonism" is such an ambiguous and therefore bullshit guideline) and yet perfectly illustrated the kind of response I predicted in the OP in an almost stereotypically accurate fashion. Thanks again, sir! Your sacrifice did not go unnoticed. I'd buy you a beer if I remembered who you were. Wash your hands, Exile! Last edited by gibbousmoon#4656 on Dec 22, 2019, 10:03:40 AM

" The concern here is not what the individual does, the concern here is that it doesnt make sense storywise or roleplaywise. Its like if skyrim would automatically make every civilian in the cities hostile towards you. While this can happen if u do certain things, its not the normal state because it would be fucking stupid... Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
