2023.06.02 22:19 jb0009 Playing Tower Defense in PVE by luring bosses into trapcastles
On our like, 20th playthrough or whatever, my crew and I realized that boss killing was exciting and fun, and a real challenge still at the higher levels. But some of the fights are kind of tedious and not as fun. For some of these, especially the ones that are roamers, we've been building servant-trapcastles and luring the bosses into them. It's fun for us to build pop-up castles and experiment with different kinds of servant squads, and fun for us to kind of sit back and watch what happens. It brings a bit of tower defense to PVE. Here are the bosses its fun to do this with (spoilers if you haven't seen the boss list yet):
Putrid rat: we really hate this fight. Even though it's L30, we take great joy in not spawning this little jerk until we have the servants in our castle needed to take him down.
Vincent: tougher to do, because he gives us prison cells, which makes this whole scheme easier. But his path is pretty well known and if you don't like freezing over and over, he's a great one to trap in a room and let your servants go nuts.
Tristan: if you put a castle in the right spot in Farbane, Tristan will come practically to your door. His path is well known, and he's still a bit tougher than his level.
Christina: a great boss to cheese because most of her skill is healing herself and spawning mobs. If you get a miliitia brawler they can interrupt her self healing.
Bane: new, and already don't want to fight him again more than I have to. Man of a million mobs, and kind of quick with his little jump attack.
Terah: you can pull Terah anywhere, so if you really wanted to build a Dunley castle to catch all the roamers, you could also conceivably drag her there.
Frostmaw: it only took me one battlenun in Hallowed Mountains to tame the mighty Frostmaw. Soooo worth it.
Jade: kind of jumpy for this to be perfect, but when it was over me and the brute were still standing, and Jade was not.
Domina: she's not a roamer, technically, but she is functionally. She roams around Rustlock and can be pulled out and across the path if you want to trapcastle her.
The Old Wanderer: this guy. He is right across the path from a large, centrally located castle spot. you could definitely chase him in there and lock him down with a bunch of hangry nuns.
Foulrot: Not a roamer, but close enough to the spots near him that if you were determined, after you cleared, you could pull him onto a territory
Nightmarshal: This is the biggest prize on the list. Get batform and what you need to fix legendary weapons by cheesing him into your castle and battling with a handful of pissed off, overgeared brutes and nuns from silverlight.

2023.06.02 21:45 Beren_tooked_simaril Chapter 1840+ Theory (Funny Idea)
I have a really funny Idea how the epic Showdown could End and i just want to share it with you all.
After a long fight Humanities Fear of Baal was reduced to a minimum and in a last ditch Effort to become somehow feared again he begins to Gamble.
He gathers all his Energy to self Destruct and tries to kill Grid and if he succeeds maybe Humanities Fear will Rise again and then he can Ressurect, If Grid survives he would probably die.
Grid sees it and pulls Out the Mysterious Cloth and neutralizes the Explosion. Humanities Fear of Baal becomes Laughter and he becomes the biggest Clown in History. Rememered as a Villain who couldnt even go out with a boom.
This would be somehow Ironic and somehow fitting for Grids Enemies who mostly get reduced laughingstock (for example: Bubat 3 seconds (?) )

2023.06.02 20:03 TrueQQ Question regarding dungeoning and raiding experience.
Hello, I've talked to a a friend about buying WoW and he warned me about the following: In the beginning, people will only want to take overgeared players for groups of mythic dungeons, because they want to rush through them. He further stated that the dungeoning experience does nto convey a feeling of struggling through a challenge together, but rather that I will be gear-checked and on the first wipe people will generally leave, because nobody wants to put in effort and rather just take the loot. Same goes for raiding, unless one is part of a M+ static group.
I wanted to ask if this is the case. Because I pretty much only care about group-content, I would be quite disappointed if that was the experience. I appreciate honest answers as I don't want to waste time and money, so no need to be overly positive.

2023.06.01 15:54 AnemoneMeer A simple guide to clearing this abyss 12.
Honestly, this wasn't too bad. But you do have to throw out some typical behavior in order to pull it off.
RESET AFTER EVERY FLOOR 3 STAR
Each of these floors requires a different tactic to deal with. Bringing one team to mop up all 3 isn't happening unless you are grossly overgeared. Make sure you go into each new floor with full energy.
12-1
Bring one Anemo with grouping on Side A, such as Sucrose or Kazuha. Suspending the whopperflowers in the air makes them free kills. After that, AoE them down. You should have enough time to sleepwalk through the machines after.
Burning teams are how you get through Side B, with an emphasis on Pyro. Disregard Anemo, and bring a low-energy requirement Dendro like Nahida if possible. If you don't have Nahida, you can make due with basically anyone. Then just stack Pyro. You do have Bennett and Xiangling, right? Basically free kills. If you do. Abyss mages kinda just flop over dead at the start anyway, so they're not even worth mentioning.
12-2.
Side A does not matter. Bring whatever the hell you want. Dendro Chicken just dies.
Side B mostly just demands ranged damage to clear fast. You know the drill. Make sure however that whatever team you're bringing for Side B can farm energy and healing off of him when going to 12-3. Otherwise, free kill.
12-Hell
Focus the Dendro enemies on Side A. The Hydro enemy will chase you down aggressively, but the Dendro one has several ranged attacks. Hu Tao teams are great here, but you can use plenty of different teams. You CAN pull these jerks with Kazuha, but you can't really launch them. The Hydro Beast will take ample collateral damage simply by focusing down the Dendro one. When in doubt, reset until they actually spawn their cores. I swear, it's random.
Side B is extremely easy to clear with Kokomi/Fischl/Yae/Nahida. Failing that, Hu Tao Vape with Nahida mixed in also rocks them. Ganyu Melt also destroys them. This is not too hard, but using any dendro focused team will generally fail here.

2023.06.01 06:50 General-Yam-948 New Player Nightmare Part 2
I decided to split up my post since it was getting really long, so this is just a continuation of my previous post of the same name.
I’ll start with a minor grievance that I had with Paladin, he had a habit of being really passive aggressive with me during the game. I would always ignore the comments they would type in chat but it always felt like he was trying to say that I am playing antagonist to him. A couple of examples that really stuck out to me was when he got a new weapon and how he would act in roleplay intensive sessions.
Paladin wanted a weapon that dealt extra lightning damage to enemies, so I gave him a task of capturing lighting in a bottle to use as an ingredient in the enchanting. After many weeks of preparation, he finally got his weapon and was eager to try it out. But it just so happened that the next group of enemies the party fought against had resistance to lightning, this was probably an oversight on my behalf but honestly lightning damage is quite far up there for commonly resisted damage types. When he realised that he was doing less damage, he wrote a snarky little comment saying “guess I don’t get to play…”. He would say this phrase often throughout the campaign whenever something rubbed him the wrong way. He once decided to go fishing instead of joining the party in rescuing another party member who had gotten lost. In the encounter, the remaining party members fought a large thunder boar and the Paladin suddenly wanted to appear there to claim some of the loot. I didn’t let him since he said he wanted to go fishing in town. What do I see next? “Guess I don’t get to play…”
Now we get to the argument that caused me to decide to take a break from the campaign for a month. The party had just finished a battle against a powerful boss monster and I was getting worried that I was making the party overgeared. To combat this, I told them that they could trade in a couple of items that they don’t use for something of higher quality. I picked out items that would match the theme of the dungeon, and items that would be useful to someone on the party. One of these items had a chance for the character to become poisoned by a material from an official book, I didn’t look too far into the item since I wasn’t sure someone would pick it. Guess who picked it because the name sounded cool?
I got a message later that night asking for details on the item, so I took some time to look into detail about it so I could properly explain it. That’s where I learned that this item slowly gives the wearer points of exhaustion that cannot be removed unless you do something specific to a different campaign. I felt bad for them picking the ring without fully understanding what it did, a seemingly common trait of Paladin throughout the campaign, and let them pick something else of equal value. We spent some time discussing various options and what they do to make sure he knows what he wants to take. Paladin eventually suggested that he trade in more items for something more powerful. The item was a tattoo that was extremely costly and extremely powerful, at the time that I added it, I never really considered how powerful it actually be. Keep in mind that the party had just turned level 10. I initially accepted the tattoo, but after discussing thing with another player that I trust, I realised just how big of a mistake I had made….
I decided to ask paladin to pick something else instead, this is how the conversation went…
Me: would u mind trading the ring for a different very rare item that i could suggest? now that i think about it properly. the tattoo is really strong for lvl 10 haha.
Paladin: Nah
Me: oki. is that nah as in u wont trade or nah as in u dont mind trading haha
Paladin: Nah as in I feel like if Rogue or someone else had bought it they’d be allowed to keep it without question LMAO
Me: if u say so, though also keep in mind they didnt buy it and that i let u change ur ring cause u didnt read all that it does. but if ur gonna keep it i cant exactly go against that
Paladin: You didn’t seem to know it would kill me either tho and it doesn’t say that on the text on the item, you can’t seriously expect me to know what every item in the game does or what every illness is capable of, right? Like. If you want me to just have the ring instead because I was too stupid to know a random but fatal piece of lore I mean that is totally up to you, but you also put the tattoo on the sheet that you had weeks to plan. No one forced you to put it there and no one forced you to offer to let me change my choice. All I had asked for was clarification, and that’s fine. I was content dealing with that until you made the offer. I was going to let the tattoo go because I didn’t think it was was meant for me or that you would accept the cape as well until you said so.So like yeah I’ll change if you wish. But. It feels a little bit like being robbed lol
Me: when u realised u didn't want the ring i let u change it, i have been extremely accommodating to you the entire campaign. you are not being robbed in anyway but i suddenly realised that letting u have an item that can let u heal around 140 hp in 1 round of combat this early into the campaign might not have been the best move for me to balance combat to be fun and engaging for everyone to be part in.
I am not your enemy, i am noones enemy despite u basically accusing me to trying to screw u over a couple of times in the past. if u try to bring up Rogue’s item i will explain why its different. at the stage Rogue has it right now all it can do is open doors a little better, and it will eventually get stronger, that is fine, but i realised after thinking that letting u guys have an item that is that powerful at this stage in the campaign might ruin combat balance.
Have i not been accommodating to you? Do i really seem like the kind of guy ur accusing me of right now? cause if so i dont really know what to say about that. IF u want to keep it that badly then keep it, in the end i am the one that has to deal with the mistake, i dont have a higher power who i can turn to when i realise a mistake was made to try and compromise on a solution. keep it
Paladin: I never said I didn’t want the ring and I never asked to change it. I just thought it was unfortunate that it could kill me but I was willing to deal with that if I could manage it properly and not die.
Me: which is why once u learned the new info i gave u the option to change it
Paladin: Yes and that’s very kind of you and I appreciate the offer. I did take the offer, and I chose an item based on what was available, I looked at a lot of other items first, but I never asked specifically to change and I don’t feel like its fair to hold your offer over my head like I asked for it. At what level would the tattoo be balanced?
Me: would u like me to rescind my original offer and pretend i never made it? would u prefer that? i offered 3 other interesting items to choose from, i am not holding anything over ur head
Paladin: Because I can totally just not use the tattoo until the right level of you would prefer? You are though? You’re acting like i am being unreasonable for not wanting to lose a thibg you willingly gave us and that you agreed to
Me: if u dont use more than 3 charges per day till lvl 15 then fine
Paladin: Okay. That is doable
The next day I announced to the server that I would be taking a break from DMing the campaign for a month. The argument with Paladin wasn’t the entire reason (I was having a feud with another player over something that happened in game, and two of my other players had still refused to write a more fleshed out backstory) but it was simply the trigger, I had enough of the pressure that was building on me to make a campaign that everyone would enjoy. I figured that if I was working this hard on making the campaign fun for everyone, the least the players could do is meet me halfway when I ask them to, and knowing that someone a few of them refused to do that sorta made me want to quit entirely, even if just for a while.
In the end Paladin left the campaign before it started up again, citing general illness as his reason for departure. I don’t know if what they said was true but at this point I don’t really care. The player played in my game for a year, and honestly I am still not sure if they know how to play their character.

Me: when u realised u didn't want the ring i let u change it, i have been extremely accommodating to you the entire campaign. you are not being robbed in anyway but i suddenly realised that letting u have an item that can let u heal around 140 hp in 1 round of combat this early into the campaign might not have been the best move for me to balance combat to be fun and engaging for everyone to be part in.
I am not your enemy, i am noones enemy despite u basically accusing me to trying to screw u over a couple of times in the past. if u try to bring up Rogue’s item i will explain why its different. at the stage Rogue has it right now all it can do is open doors a little better, and it will eventually get stronger, that is fine, but i realised after thinking that letting u guys have an item that is that powerful at this stage in the campaign might ruin combat balance.
Have i not been accommodating to you? Do i really seem like the kind of guy ur accusing me of right now? cause if so i dont really know what to say about that. IF u want to keep it that badly then keep it, in the end i am the one that has to deal with the mistake, i dont have a higher power who i can turn to when i realise a mistake was made to try and compromise on a solution. keep it
Paladin: I never said I didn’t want the ring and I never asked to change it. I just thought it was unfortunate that it could kill me but I was willing to deal with that if I could manage it properly and not die.
Me: which is why once u learned the new info i gave u the option to change it
Paladin: Yes and that’s very kind of you and I appreciate the offer. I did take the offer, and I chose an item based on what was available, I looked at a lot of other items first, but I never asked specifically to change and I don’t feel like its fair to hold your offer over my head like I asked for it. At what level would the tattoo be balanced?
Me: would u like me to rescind my original offer and pretend i never made it? would u prefer that? i offered 3 other interesting items to choose from, i am not holding anything over ur head
Paladin: Because I can totally just not use the tattoo until the right level of you would prefer? You are though? You’re acting like i am being unreasonable for not wanting to lose a thibg you willingly gave us and that you agreed to
Me: if u dont use more than 3 charges per day till lvl 15 then fine
Paladin: Okay. That is doable
The next day I announced to the server that I would be taking a break from DMing the campaign for a month. The argument with Paladin wasn’t the entire reason (I was having a feud with another player over something that happened in game, and two of my other players had still refused to write a more fleshed out backstory) but it was simply the trigger, I had enough of the pressure that was building on me to make a campaign that everyone would enjoy. I figured that if I was working this hard on making the campaign fun for everyone, the least the players could do is meet me halfway when I ask them to, and knowing that someone a few of them refused to do that sorta made me want to quit entirely, even if just for a while.
In the end Paladin left the campaign before it started up again, citing general illness as his reason for departure. I don’t know if what they said was true but at this point I don’t really care. The player played in my game for a year, and honestly I am still not sure if they know how to play their character.
