@B-Rock:
…Even if the whining isn't directed at you, it still grips your manhood and snatches it away to hear or see a grown ass woman/man/both cry bout this game...
Pet Peeve. tried to not respond, but I can't leave it alone.
Anonymous account used, and situation changed, so the others involved in a mentioned example dont get pissywhiney, and not quest with me.
Every freaking time a party I'm in gets some Spice the party chat about "DMs hate us try kil uz WTF" my balls lose a half-inch. They started out at 30 inches. They vanished into the rift and are gone years ago.
Within the last month, I died to "Spice". and sure enough.. the Tells and Party blah about the DM "TRYING TO KILL UZ. HATEZ UZ" came in fast n furious. Come on people. The NPC is SUPPOSED to try and survive. That equates to killing us. So what, he killed someone ? That can happen if a NPC rolls lucky anyway. Like that damned RaiceBannon did yesterday, on a one-hit fugue trip. Didn't even bleed. Died on my own, no DM help needed. Crits happen.
The Partychat whining was so bad, the DM send me a Tell (as I was one of the dead ).. "I wasn't trying to kill anyone, just make it interesting" (To which I responded "I know. I'm not the one whining, they are. I only bitched about all the crits.") - I assume DMs don't mind bitching about THAT, I guess you guys might bitch about "WTF! they all critted and took my Shadovar out in 2 rounds"
DM 's spicing your quests aren't done to eradicate you. And a DM controlling a boss, or tossing in a few more monsters doesn't mean we should expect +3HammersOfHappiness as extra lootz. if you get three extra orcs, expect three extra orc's worth of drops. Maybe a couple potions. geez.
(although if I recall, possessed NPCs don't give XP. that's trivially annoying, but generally made up for by DMs by them tossing 50 or 100XP at you for the Spice. Unles y'all whine, then they probably get disgusted and leave)
Remember. No Whining.
