Why the fuck is this so common? We all know its just the crit stat just fucking tell us.
Noah Ortiz
Why don’t many RPGs have any good water magic?
Zachary Smith
How do we make Ice not shit?
Make it SE vs fairies and remove its fighting weakness imo
Benjamin Smith
>RPG has elemental system
>Plant magic is mixed with earth
Aaron Jones
Make it SE against water and give it resistance to dragon. Rework freeze-dry to always crit against water types and ramp up its damage to make it worth taking over frost breath.

I need more games like this please.
Aiden Myers
because it's not very current

Actually it’s the money making stat

because they don't. have you never used a bow?

Games need to stop doing this, if a boss can’t be poisoned there’s no point to keeping the spell
Gabriel Thomas
You missed Dark Souls 2 at launch. Lightning miracles were overpowered as fuck, felt like I was Gwyn just walking around blasting everything to death. So many bosses that never even get close to you before they died. Then came the nerfs, and with them, the dark times...
Daniel Rodriguez
Nigga what. They totally do. It isn't that easy to pull the string.
Jeremiah Hall
U gawkin at me stompas?
Isaac Diaz
please explain how a 160 pound draw strength bow doesn't use an ounce of strength to draw.
Lucas Hernandez
Mother fucker, real archers are some of the strongest people you will ever meet.
Ryan Barnes

>You throw lightning bolts with it
Mason Moore
What did she mean by this?
Camden Robinson
how do you work around this
>boss can be poisoned but now boss fights have more HP in general
okay fine
>boss can be stunned and lose turns
then he would need to have ungodly power that you cant fully heal through each turn
>instadeath
well not too many people care that this is what most boss fights are immune to but still
Nathan Johnson
then air and fire shouldn't be different elements either? they're the same thing just at different temperatures
Matthew Campbell
>15 minutes into bagpipes and chill and she rolls over then gives you this look.
>user, you're an right barry laddy you know that? i'll tell you i've had a belter night, but after a few more bez and i'm fuckin' blootered you could play with me chebs and reck right outta me baffies until i'm right pooched.
How would you respond to this braw lass?
Leo Cox
Low % drop items are there so players can have wildly different playthroughs even in a linear story, make it the same with bosses
>boss has 99% chance to resist death
>that one guy casts death not knowing this
>boss dies instantly
>he gets to brag to his friends how that guy was so easy
Christopher Johnson
Air element is usually wind, so it's not really the same.
Landon Rogers
Dragon's Dogma did it right. Miasma never stops being useful even in the BBI due to the way it dishes damage every second even if the target isn't actually poisoned
Bentley Torres
I think FF12 did it right with the hunts and some of the boss fights where they had different status effect weaknesses. Some of the fights you had to use them, like the hunt with the snake that struck super fast and hard.
Grayson Baker
Ice doesn't need more offensive use, and it maybe only needs one more resistance at most.
The main problem with Ice is that it's an extremely strong and powerful Offensive type, but ice-types themselves are almost always statted to be defensive. They just need more fast and powerful ice-types, because as it is the STAB is rarely worth it and you might as well take a water type that can use ice beam instead sicne itll probably end up doing more damage anyway
Ryder Thompson
>nuclear is not one of them
Nuclear is obviously explosion type combined with poison and status debuffs.
Elijah Morgan
wind is air moving because of different temperatures
Jaxon Gomez
>No steam on the water cup guy
What's the point
Cameron Hall
>RPG
>water types can use ice moves
>which makes actual ice types completely superfluous
Colton Myers
>No steam element
Scalding the enemy with steam is different from setting them on fire or knocking them with air.
Xavier Gonzalez
is cunny an element?
Matthew Hughes
Radioactivity does not demand explosion.
It just needs to glow
Caleb Stewart
no but cute feet are
Kevin Edwards
>low item drops in an rpg that can likely take hours and the only reason is artificial replayability
did the entire hospital staff take turns dropping you?
Noah Gomez
Etrian Odyssey has bosses that are vulnerable to everything. Their solution is accumulative resistance, where any time something in the battle gets an ailment or disable inflicted on them they become more resistant to it, wearing off slightly over time. That way you can cripple a boss for a few turns, but you can't chain it back to back.
Benjamin Phillips
Name an RPG that does this.
Justin Wright
Pokemon is the obvious one, but also Epic Battle Fantasy 4.
Nathan Anderson
>nerfing fighting even more
fuck off
David Martin
well, thats because they are diferent.
Benjamin Nelson
Yes, ice was hurting in special effective matchups. That's what it was missing all along.
Nathaniel Taylor
The solution is to have those ailments not be automatic win buttons, so bosses don't need to be designed to either be immune or completely suck eggs.
Adam Hughes
Fighting Type hasn't been underpowered since GSC.

Connor Young
