Profit involved from what? D&D games don't make money.
So, they picked the most popular system because they know they won't make money? Makes sense
What are the signs this is a bad implementation? You're unfamiliar with 5E rules so you must care more about the implementation being fun than identical to the tabletop game. Your whole thing is "I'm pessimistic, let's wait and see".
How many times must I explain that fun, to me, is not about correct implementation?
You know cooldowns can be fractions of a second? You'll have to wait a long time after casting powerful spells but there's lesser spells you can cast more frequently and there's never nothing to cast. Problem? If there's nothing stopping you from casting your most powerful spell constantly then you can cast 60 of them per second and how is that for game balance? I've been expecting you to talk about cast speed for a while now but you don't understand game design enough to make the points I was waiting for.
So, you're saying that games that don't use cooldowns - including all the good implementations of D&D, are actually bad because they don't have them?
1. No details
Ask Peter Molyneux (Bullfrog, Lionhead, FABLE) what happens to people who promise more than they deliver.
So, you're actually admitting that they can't deliver a good implementation?
So you DO see the signs? Thanks.
2. Half the classes
It's a small team keeping the project to a manageable scope for the sake of quality over quantity.
So, because they can't deliver quality versions of the classes, that's a good thing? I should be happy they know their limitations instead of realising what they are and pointing it out as a potential problem?
3. Simplistic Diablo clone
If Dark Souls appears to you as a Diablo clone then it stands to reason that you'd say SCL looks like a Dark Souls clone. You don't have a clue what anything looks like.
I'm afraid this isn't about me having a clue. It's about me explaining my problems with the game.
You asked what they were, and I'm explaining it to you.
I don't really think you agreeing with me is relevant or important.
So how would you handle the problem? You haven't said. Do you know?
Have you never played a D&D game without cooldowns that you liked?
I thought you had experience with them.
dude, if I wasn't listening I couldn't trash your shit arguments with a single sentence like I am.
I don't know what you mean by trash, but it sounds like a good description of what you're doing.
If you're actually listening before you "trash" them by ignoring what they are - and conjuring strawmen, then that's even worse.
I want to discuss our history since you brought it up. I think whats really happening here is you look at my evil picture and you've been called a noob by a million elitist jerks and come into our discussions with so much emotional baggage you don't even notice you just go around calling everything shit and I charge in like a knight on shining armour to defend it. This picture isn't me. It's my focus. My nemesis. The archvillan is the most important character in an RPG. You just don't think deeply enough to understand a thing I have to say.
Let me put it another way, it's not interesting to me. Could you explain why I should get into our history because it's interesting to you?
I'm a strong leader and you're a bitter wimp. Of course that's how you see me. You'd want me in your party. Stand behind me and this perceived hostility becomes your best ally. Would I want you in mine?
Why would I want you to want me?
And I understand why you poke fun at it. Envy.
Go on, say "I just think people who speak proudly of RPG related accomplishments on an RPG site are worthy of ridicule". With your 17,000 RPG related opinions posted with no achievements.
I don't think I'm ridiculing your feat. I'm ridiculing your estimation of the weight that feat carries with people other than yourself.
That's the difference between people with a solid ego, and people with an insecure inflated ego.
The latter tend to overestimate their own abilities - and they tend to go on about what they think they've accomplished.
You're just lucky I still go by playground rules of "any kid with an Amiga is my friend", or I probably wouldn't give you the time of day.
I don't have an Amiga anymore, though.
