Ok, one more time.
If the game needs training weels of this size then the game is too hard. If the non-vets are so thrilled to be able to finally get anywhere with this kind of help that they can't see this thread as anything other then "they're trying to take my toys away", then the game is too hard as it is. This is my argument, has always been.
You nearly quit the game? I've been there - I'm STILL there. My "tirade" about the vicious badge? Complete newbies can find a wiki and copy a "training weels galore" strat to get them to the PQI, and then what? Back to the old training wheels, and you're supposed to do it, too, because the PQI sayes that the game is ment to be so hard that all you learned isn't supposed to compensate for not busting out a trisword. -.-
It's degrading, guys. If the only way to have a fun, and not a frustrating expirience is to rely on stuff that removes the challenge to the degree that trisword, potions or old absolution does, and we're in a beta - the thing to do is to complain. If the bloodmage nerf makes him unplayable for you - the problem is with the game, not with the bloodmage - because you can really easily beat most regular (and some post post) stuff with him. I can make a vid, explain how you do it, you can copy it and beat pretty much every regular dungeon with ease. But the game is obviously not teaching this.
What's the point of documenting "strats" if the strats are just demo's of finding well above curve stuff and saying "this and this belongs in another game/difficulty mode use this to skip whatever's giving you trouble"? What'd that achieve, if anything other than that can be achieved?
