This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Exalted 3 - What the hell?

Quote from: Nexus;896850And while I'm bitching, the overall attitude of the fanbase is just as annoying as the Devs. Take all the arrogance, pretension and smugness associated with the gamer stereotype and dial it up to 11.

That's hardly a new thing.  I will point out however, that it's hardly unique to that particular fanbase.

I didn't say it was new or unique just that it annoys me. I will say it seems to be amped up in that particular fanbase though. Legacy of WW I guess and its encouraged by the game's staff. I mean "Evolve your game", seriously? And the nonstop crapping on, well, just about anything else? Sinenomine's behavior evem when producing a product that fit into roughly the same niche as Exalted just highlights how bad their behavior was.

Which is why I tell people not to buy Exalted third edition.  I will not reward their shit attitude.

Quote from: Nexus;896847And, of course, those are some of the things I really don't like. Taste is a funny thing.

Indeed it is, but to me, that's a feature, not a bug:).

As an aside, I'm reading the setting chapter of Exalted 1st edition. If I start a game with players new to Exalted, that's what I'm going to print out for them;).

Quote from: Future Villain Band;895662I remember Mechanoid Space being "in progress" when I was in my first year of high school, and this is the year of my 25th reunion.  What's crazy to me is that Kevin hasn't just said, "You know, fuck it, it's never coming."

It's his never-give-up attitude that makes Siembieda so endearing!

Is that what that is?  And here I thought it was Siembieda being his usual disillusion self.  I've never figured that guy out, he very much hates it when players adapt his stuff, almost like he's a one true way purist.

The overall snobby, cliquish and argumentative fanbase is nothing to write home about either.

No kidding, but there is nothing to be done about.  There can be something done about the devs and though.

Fixing the latter might have a positive impact on the former, given time.

Wait, so RPG.net moderators are developers for Exalted 3e?

Looks like I'll be enjoying that 1e or 2e if I ever get around to playing.

I already know of one Onyx Path writer that actually managed a pretty hateful shaming blog for people in an MMORPG that didn't meet their standards.  They also managed an army of online trolls, ERP'd with players and used the logs/screenshots for blackmail, and openly used ethnic slurs.

The one who goes by 'Felix' in online groups.  She started a harassment blog some time ago for players in Champions Online.

Let me get a bit more comfortable.  If this persons knows me, I don't want to be stalked and harassed.  I'd love to PM you when I get adjusted.  But I can tell you the game was 'Champions Online'.

That's probably be for the best.  I'd rather not see you get swarmed by petty assholes over my idle curiosity.
