>RPG has status effects which can be devastating to the player but are basically useless for the player to use on enemies>bosses are fully immune to every status effect in the game
>>3865620Play a better RPG.
The existential dread inherent in posting the same old tired threads for years on end must be awful. Bots will liberate the shitposters.
>>3865620>>RPG has status effects>can just spam the same instakill effect to kill every enemy and boss in the game
>>3865625>>i am retarded>i can only consider any situation as two diametrically opposed extremes with zero room for nuance
>>3865626>twoHmm more nuanced than OP...
>bosses are generally vulnerable to status effects>nobody noticed because shitty games trained the player base to not even bother trying
>>3865623This board really does have some of the worst posters on the site for how slow it is, I suspect it just has something to do with the type of people who play RPGs. Other similarly slow boards don't have this problem.
>>3865639I think it's more people who are anal about playing solely or primarily RPGs. They attract plenty of normal people, but autists, snobs, and the anal retentive gravitate toward them especially hard. I think /vrpg/ is probably one of the most consistently irritable and pedantic boards I visit on occasion.
>game has an intricate strength/weakness system where enemies up to and including the final boss are logically immune/resistant and vulnerable/weak against certain weapons/elements/status effects
>>3865639I think there's some runoff from problem posters from the RPG Codex, like people and /v/tards they banned come here.
Every time this subject comes up I am reminded that I will never forgive Bravely Default for making the black mage Ominas Crowe immune to silence WHEN THE GAME GIVES YOU A FUCKING MAGE MASHER BEFORE FIGHTING HIM
>>3865639nah there's like 3 autists who just continuously make low quality threads that would get deleted from /tg/, but since we have no jannies they do it here
>>3865639>>3865623Maybe if devs stopped this retarded shit, the posts would stop as well.
>>3865818Cry moar. I'm sure it will help.
>>3865636It do be like that.
>Game has so many debuffs that there's two that you will probably never see in battle unless you go out of your way to find the enemy class that has the spells for them, but won't even cast them on your characters because they prioritize reviving the undead or poisoning your units.I hate Tactics Ogre so much.
>I cast defense up on my team>boss casts defense up on himself>I cast defense down on the boss>boss casts defense down on my team>sometimes I cast defense up and the boss debuffs on the same turn, sometimes the opposite happens>that's it, that's the whole fight>it's great
>>3865636As a person who likes playing DoT ailment builds it do feel painful bro.
>>3866027>you can cheese the boss into removing your debuffs by buffing one time, and you'll get more attacks than him so...
>>3865620>game has poison and bleeding skills, and entire classes built around them>half the enemies in the game are immune due to being undead or poison users
>>3865620That's Final Fantasy games.
Lucia did it right. The boss battles were so memorable from a strategy standpoint .
>>3865636Final fantasy ruining it for everyone
>>3866071SMT Strange Journey bosses have a skill that resets all buffs/debuffs they use if you max any of them out, it's a viable strat to bait them into it.
>>3866072>half the enemies in the game are immune due to being undead or poison usersDarkest Dungeon is guilty of this with bleed and the undead, but at the same time the game is deliberately designed so that some heroes are simply not worth taking into certain areas.
>>3865622Love me some etrians, but it's not always well balanced. Some encounters feel like the intended strategy is just disable the enemy completely, nuke them, and not interact with their moves. Nexus is especially bad for this, where I'd just start every encounter with panic, even if it was a blind cast on a new enemy
>>3867164I'd disagree, each hero has 7 skills, you can take easly any hero to any dungeon. Sure Plague doctor will play differently in Ruins and Weald due to high Blight res. in Weald, but her non Blight abilities are perfectly fine there.
>>3865639This board? It's literally the entire internet. Talking about vidya online is like putting out a salt lick for retards. Remember, 100% of these people are grown adults complaining about their toys, and they have to complain to an apathetic stranger because they have no friends.
>>3867168I mean, depending on the game it is explicitly not balanced. EO1 is basically just prayer simulator sometimes.
>>3867493>Talking about vidya online is like putting out a salt lick for retards.Most amusing sentence I've read in some time. Thank you.
>>3865639>Other similarly slow boards don't have this problem.not been much on /sci/, have you?
>>3865620> Guest ally in boss battle has special move that inflicts a bunch of status effects and otherwise does no damage> boss is immune to status effects
