I don't think a [ quote ] tag exists which would let me quote
Reigen hard enough.
Quote:Is it the announcement of the impending prestige system removal?
I have had the chance to roleplay with every nearly actively played prestige character there is, here. It's been more engaging and inspiring than I can express in words, but I... I have never had the chance to play such a character myself.
I don't need to explain what a
sting it is to have my feet swept out from under me after being given the go-ahead, and I haven't got the heart nor the courage to say
exactly why in public.
As I chose a prestige class that has no hope of variation, being a straightforward ascension, I am looking at one of two options for my character.
Retcon is the path most are going to take, and yes, I would not be cutting out much progress, but my sentiments on the matter?
To have loved and lost...
As such, I don't think it's the road for me.
Quote:Perhaps the denial of conquest RP?
Or maybe the lack of the world being changed by every character's actions?
These things never bothered me, actually.
Stonetalon was, for me, the quintessential example of war roleplay that doesn't muddy the waters. Conquest isn't win or lose, there's always a grey area.
You could invest belief in something and make a difference without the world collapsing in around you.
Then again, the opinion of someone who enjoys losing and tragedy is probably not the best place to look for explanation.
Quote:Or could it be us no longer considering the RPG books canon? (We're simply following Blizzard on this)
Where prestiges are concerned, a tailored system was the way to go. However, there's a lot of flavour lore in there that I wouldn't disregard as being false.
There are few honest sources that give such a detailed understanding of Azeroth, and I think to abandon it on the grounds that it's only an educated guess is a naive route to take.
Quote:For folks that have experienced random interactions with NPCs (simple things like the NPCs talking to characters and reacting to them), how have opinions been? I know there's been some negative instances that could be seen as a GM trolling them (I would hope it wasn't intentional), but how have experiences been overall with that sort of thing?
These made my day. Even before their primary puppeteer was floating around with server sorcery, I thoroughly enjoyed everything they concocted.
Westfall - as it turns out, gnolls really will fight over anything. Their shadows included.
Having a casual conversation in Azshara, surrounded by
Naga? You can bet the Naga had a thing or two to say.
Strut right past a
drake? She's not going to turn a blind eye, is she?
There was so much more I had the great fortune to be a part of, and I thanked the perpetrator personally each time in remark of how fun it was.
Quote:On executive decisions being, well, executed.
No, the world's not going to end, nor is CotH about to, but
I strongly disagree and implore the ones responsible to reconsider.
