Things That Annoy You

[guizonde]

I can understand disliking Forgotten Realms for being more generic high fantasy, but this guy seems to be a troll.  That is, of course, not to say that generic high fantasy is bad.  Eberron is one of the reasons I like DDO, the magitech is a nice change of pace.  Could use more Warlocks, though.

Nope, this guy's not a troll.  He's just not yet outgrown the egocentric portion of his childhood.

(Also, I tried to capture the essence of his posts, but I'm afraid I may have made him more legible than he normally is.)

He's also got this bug up his butt about the fact that gnomes aren't yet playable in DDO.

Despite the fact that Eberron Gnomes basically look like halflings (who look more like kender than actual halflings).

There's a classic optimization concerning gnomes (and even worse: whisper gnomes). It's called the gnome illusionist, due to the gnomes' latent tendency to create illusions. IIRC, some gnomes even have the prestidigitation spell as a spell-like ability, and they cast illusion spells at +1 caster level. Maybe he likes this? He sounds just like a grumpy wizard to me (ok, I confess, I hate wizards)...

His entire reason for pushing it is that it's a core race that hasn't been added yet.

Also, the illusion spell list in DDO is sorely lacking.

That's probably because it's way hard to balance out such powerful spells as "silent image", "invisibility", "silence", "illusory image", and shadow-walking in mmo's. I know that's the reason why chameleon was a great spell in morrowind but never made the cut anywhere else since. it was invisibility that was not disrupted by actions.

Chameleon in Oblivion was pretty much as broken as Morrowind's Chameleon.

It wasn't until Skyrim removed it that it was fixed.  And the people whined about it, too.

Seriously? chameleon existed in oblivion? I could never play it because my pc hates that game (yeah, after 16 bsods, I pretty sure my computer is sentient), and a trusted friend told me no way for chameleon. I guess I learn new things everyday. Back on topic to DnDO, I just don't see a spell like that being balanced enough for mmo's. The griefing, trolling, and PK-ing potential is way too obvious.

Well it looks like my old Xbox 360 has finally died, after eight years of use it's dead and now I have to replace it since It's out of warranty.

I have been on the receiving end of unending hatred from various friends because I've been messing with D&D 5th edition.

I almost forgot how stupid those fights could get.

Oh GOD I hate those arguments.

If you don't like X or prefer some particular version of X... then say so but why on Earth do people bother to RAGE about it to others who like X? Can't you just agree that you have different preferences? And even if you are furious over something like that why take it out on the people who like X rather than the developers?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the latest redesign.

Youtube just cannot load videos. They always stop, cease loading, or the video crashes.

The worst part about them is the hypocrisy. They used to be way big into 3.0/Pathfinder, fighting against 4 with all their might until they actually played it. They still bitched about it at first, but then agreed it was still fun to play. 5e is a lot closer to 3e than it is 4e, but for some reason they are insisting it is a complete game ruining version that can't possibly do anything right. I know they'll open up to it after a while, and probably enjoy it a lot more than they ever did with 4e. They're just the stereotype of a gamer that screams "they changed it therefore it sucks".

My only complaint about it is the lack of options in terms of monsters since the Monster Manual is still a bit away.
