Right...
Maybe I should give you a what if of when I take the baby gloves off. Because right now...you're complaining about medium when you essentially chose Extreme mode. People are alive despite being swarmed in battle and losing their martial rolls by a lot.
Morpheus likely has stealth capabilities and should have OP weapons that add bonuses to his roll...I scrapped that. Hell he should probably be made of w/e Thanos' sword was made of, but I decided not to. Because I'm trying to help you guys while maintaining logic.
I'm literally doing all I can to help you guys out, you just make really really bad choices. I can only do so much.
And no, Morpheus didn't cut half of your forces in half on his own. It was the giant robot army that outnumbered you. They had a part in it as well.
And no he doesn't have 79 bonus. Read. It was the minus from his skill. Same one Loki gets all the time to his opponents.
And matching Thor...Ultron matches Thor with like 3 days of life. Morpheus is the same thing but with decades of life and experience fighting Asgardians PLUS a smarter father with better tech. Yeah he should match Thor.
And I never said stronger opponents would come if you got OP. I said the already OP people would notice you because that makes sense.
And their opponents are getting stronger. Thor's getting more and more OP every turn. So is Asgard. Not sure what else you want.
So...do you want to ignore dice or what? Because the dice is how he snuck up on Loki and took the sword. Surviving Decap's because it's an AI controlling a body from far away. Decap doesn't matter.
Uh...Morpheus is the upgraded merc. That's literally the same thing. Ultron...was about to destroy Earth and beat Thor in a fight. He needed an infinity stone+Thor+Iron Man+Vision's hax abilities to beat him. That was within 3 days of life. So nah. That's wrong.
Succeed at what? Loki got Gungnir back. Got Hofund back. No one died in the invasion except Heimdall. Despite the sneak advantage. Nothing was taken from the vault in the invasion either. The only success was killing Heimdall and placing Loki on the throne...which benefits you. And YOU WERE GIVEN A REDO.
You just rejected it.
I have other people to bounce ideas off of. They want me to do so much worse. But I hold back to help you guys out.
Right now it seems like whining that villains get to do anything.
Let's look at the quest right now:
- Loki is KING.
- Asgard has improved tremendously
- The first attack did literally nothing besides remove Heimdall and...make Loki KING and give Asgard more tech
- This attack has killed no one named. And you were allowed an action to respond when in reality, it'd be over too quick to even roll for anything
- And this is despite facing Thanos and Ultron
Like if anyone, you guys have the plot armor. Asgard should probably be a smoking pile of rubble and Loki should be dead. But you complain about villain success when there has been nothing on screen. How Sway?
And if y'all get pissed off, it's whatever. All I'm going to do is what makes sense and what's fair with a heavy lean to helping you guys out. Like always.
Right... so Thanos with an Infinity Stone and Ultron is a medium level threat... Man, seeing the movies I thought he was an Avengers (Endgame) level threat... guess I was wrong.
The stealth tech is something that you brought into this equation. Level of tech that completely bypassed Heimdall (and if his words are to be believed, he felt some disturbance before the attack) and his Omni-Senses.
"The Gatekeeper can see a single drop of dewfall from a blade of grass a thousand worlds away."
The only thing from the movies, that could somewhat bypass Heimdall's sense were the Dark Elve's Ark. And they had the tech made after studying Aether, Reality Stone, for years. They are in the MCU one of the oldest species. And you gave Titan the level of tech equal to them, without there being any evidence to support that Titan was this advance in level.
Unless you are making the alien metal standard on Titan and give it to Thanos, just like you gave away an Infinity Stone to Thanos so early... then yea, you could have done it. Kudos for not doing it and ruining the quest for the players.
Yup, after recovering for a decade after nearly being starved to death. The Titan had the resources to fund a mercenary force, twice, and not spend it on other stuff. Also, after having sanctions placed on them, that are heavily respected by whole universe. Titan is still able to fund another mercenary force and is ready to take on Asgard (thank you Morpheus for feeding the poor Titans).
Ultron doesn't match Thor. His body which is made of Vibranium, which holds the property of absorbing Kinetic Energy, is what allows Ultron to survive Thor.
The thing is we are seeing others around us getting strong, and not us. That is what is bewildering the player, and making them antagonistic towards you. It's certainly not your problem or your mistake. It's just how things are.
It's common to put AI servers in an android's head and not in its chest. Where controls to various body movements and weaponry are placed. Once the head is separated... well the control over the android body is lost. You again pulled a quick one over us by making the android survive... by whatever logic or reasoning you used.
Man, only a crazy person would have accepted the redo. I personally could say that I was fking tired of leading the arc (still am), and making omakes to get roll bonuses. If you believe that we, the players, have nothing better to do other than re-doing an arc of this quest again for days... well, then you need to know that people have real lives and matters that they need to attend to (especially around this time of the year).
The people you bounce ideas with, tell you to make the quest more difficult? Why? To ruin this quest for players and make people rage-quit?
If they are making things interesting then sure go for it and make something difficult and not this where every day it feels like we need to fend off another attack. Dormammu, Thanos with Infinity Stone, and now Ultron...
sigh nvm.
But, otherwise, reconsider the people you are bouncing off ideas with if they want to make this quest even more difficult just to see us rage-quit. (It's a suggestion, nothing that you have to follow.)
Yes, it does feel like the villains can do anything. Dormammu attacked out of nowhere. Thanos suddenly has an Infinity Stone and has researched it so well that he even has an Ultron. And he attacks Asgard, for no other reason, other than him being insane. Besides, this he also has gifted strength, gifted willpower and well everything. He is a combo Thor, Loki and Osmond in flesh.
So yea. Personally I won't say I am pissed or anything. It's just I am tired. Which is to be expected given the time of the year and well us fending of Thanos, every day.
You are doing a good job, as it is. I haven't played many quests (This is still my first quest) to make a judgement on you and say that you aren't balancing things properly on this quest. But I kinda wanted my thoughts to be known, so here they are.
Edit: Thank you for making this far with us.
