Actually the worst thing about FFT 1.3 was the mod author's OC do not steal boss with 999 hp that only ever took a maximum of 1 damage from any attack, and could instantly turn your characters into crystals. Someone figured out that if you positioned yourself very specifically you could get him to walk back and forth onto spike traps which dealt percentage damage, circumventing all his bullshit shields.

The modder promptly threw a fit and patched battlefield traps so they did not affect his super dude.

Wait wait wait...

I remember the thread that attempted to play through 1.3. What was the intended way, if not "hit the dude 999 times without anyone dying"?

All this talk of FFXI bullshit is kinda reminding me of WoW's Ahn'Qiraj raid when it launched.

Just the act of opening it up for your server was a feat in and of itself, requiring an extremely long questline that involved one person doing an excessive amount of grinding, using tons of the rarest and most expensive crafting materials, doing the most challenging raid up to that point within a time limit... And so much more.

What awaited them on the other side was probably one of the most miserable raids that the WoW dev team has ever created in all of the game's history. To start, it was all set in a massive underground bug hive that looked incredibly same-y. The generic monsters later on in the raid were legitimately more difficult than the bosses you had beaten to get to them. And the bosses themselves were no slouch either, having incredibly weird gimmicks (like a slime boss you had to freeze solid, then shatter it and kill the mini-slimes when they tried to reform), required you to get tons of incredibly rare resistance gear, or both.

This all came to a head with the final boss, C'thun. To make a long story short: he was legitimately unbeatable as designed when the raid was released. One of the highlights was having a chain-lighting attack that increased in damage with each subsequent hit... That he could cast right at the start, when everyone was filtering into his room through the only entrance. On the upside, the developers were willing to concede it, and nerfed him a bit; the world first kill came shortly after.

I have to wonder how you release an unbeatable boss. Like did you not test that someone can beat it to make sure it doesn't crash the server and send everyone's credit cards directly to the Russian Mafia or something?

That's a large part of why they now have public test realms for upcoming raids for people to determine if a particular boss's ability, HP, etc. is overtuned for its' intended difficulty.

Just reread the first update and saw the built-in "Nuzlocke" mode. I know this is going to sound really, really crazy, but it just stirred this memory I had of some webcomic I saw posted over in the thread in BYOB that chronicled some guy going through each generation...

And it was drawn like rear end. I mean, only slightly better than rageface. And I think I'm also remembering something about the author having to cut it off because he was convicted of drug offenses or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The Hyrule: Total War is rather impressive, if for no other reason the person behind it was deranged enough to somehow weave entire factions out of creatures and enemies that you only see one type of in games (Darknuts have an entire faction. With multiple units. FAIRIES have an army.)

And as for men wearing skirts... nothing wrong with a man wearing a skirt. I'm guessing the people who made this game have never seen a scotsman before? Or The Scotsman?

Of course there's nothing wrong with it. The problem is that the developers have already repeatedly been demonstrated to be really grognard-y types in previous updates, and that's usually the crowd where making lame punchlines about someone's perceived gayness isn't unusual.

Basically, we're all bracing for what little characterization the gym leader gets is going to be a barrage of "lol he's gay".

Why not take the best of both XP systems? If a 'mon is below another's level when it defeats them, it rubber bands; when it's at or higher than the other's, they give a flat amount of XP.

Running Omniscient out of MP in a very time extensive strategy so as to prevent Resets, which, well, resets the fight back to the beginning.

Not even remotely necessary with a White Mage (Berserk+Blink does the job infinitely better in this case!) but it's sure something all the same.
