Darth Woodrack Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 My main problem is I had no idea what was going on, and it just seemed intimidating to those of use who either didn’t participate in the first portion, or in my case, had gone inactive for IRL reasons. I think you could have done a better job in recapping the thread. In addition, I know you’ve already been talked to about this, but you need to adopt the plot based on what others did, instead of just ignoring there efforts. Other than that, it was a cool plot, and you planned it well. I mean, my point of view may be tainted seeing as how I am a BUV member(minion level. Little mad about that.) and participated in the plot on the villain side. RIP Maxwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted information, you could reread the threads or asked for a summary by everyone. That is the entire goal of The Taste of Death. Glad to hear that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Woodrack Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Ark, I know you don’t think you need to recap the thread, as evident in you not doing it. I’m just saying, if you want more people to join, and have fun while doing it, you should recap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhammer 40K and Sanderson's mesh together surprisingly well. Power armor becomes Shardplate, Warp sorcery can be reflavored Epic powers, and guns are, well, guns. Albeit really big guns.

That, and WH40K is incredibly cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Okey. Thank you, Ark, for creating this thread. There has been a feeling of maybe one too many OP beings without a good weaknesses (e.g. the Haunt, the Tattered One, Lord Ajax probably in the future). All of them are interesting and fun to interact with, but after a while it's a little difficult to advance a plot when at every corner there's a thing that can kill your character easily unless they're OP as well. Unlike Clyde, I don't think there's a lack of death. Death isn't something that requires a certain quantity. If it happens, it happens. It shouldn't be a necessary determinant of a good plot. Maxwell's death was pathetic. No real offense meant to either party involved, but really? The Tattered One stabs him without much, actually, no difficulty. That's not a worthwhile death. A lot of us care about our characters and deaths like that feel belittling. I understand that Clyde was fine with it in this case, but it wouldn't work for many others. As well, it's really easy to fall behind. That's not something that can be fixed, nor is it solely the fault of this plot. It just stems from us all living in different timezones and also living lives - despite our attempts to deny that on many occassion I'm not a BoV member. I'm literally the polar opposite. Pro-citizen rights and anti-Hemalurgy. This plot has been, well, painful in some ways. Citizens turning on one another because of the bloodlust. Frying pan people appearing everywhere and killing them too. It hasn't been fun, to say the least. Especially as, as was previously stated, non-OP characters have real problems in a world like that. Finally, I don't really have anyother remarks at the moment. Likely that will change as things progress in Taste of Death, but for now at leave it at this. This plot is helping with character development to create more broken hating characters. Something we really don't need. 4 hours ago, Grey Knight said: My initial reason for getting involved in the plot was only tangentially related- one of Ark's characters, Crow, had fought with my dudes in the past, so I came back for revenge.

True. If it makes things better, the Haunt is mostly bark and no bite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voidus Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Can I just say that the tags for this thread were needlessly aggressive. Things like that are not likely to promote genuine discussion and really don't give the impression that you're actually interested in people's feedback. I know that receiving bad reviews of something can be disheartening, but getting aggressive with the people who gave the reviews is just going to promote further conflict and won't resolve anything. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Haunt has some pretty solid weaknesses. Being a spren is his biggest. The Tattered One is going to be worked on, we've been seeing problems already. Lord Ajax will be the final boss. While he will be OP, we're working on some good weaknesses for him. 10 hours ago, Voidus said: Can I just say that the tags for this thread were needlessly aggressive.

I apologize that they were taken that way. They were in jest. Also, I don't appreciate that you changed them without asking. You could have come to me about it, instead of changing them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
