[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 763436, member: 10397"] And it still basicaly comes down to, you dont like it. Which is fine. Lots of people dont like the way it is now. Now you've got many people(aparently just about everyone in the groups of everyone on this board) trying to have one extremely powerful weapon and making heavy heavy use of Greater Magic Weapon. When the new DR comes out we might well end up having large numbers of people running around with a variety of weapons of various different kinds...what you like to call the "golf bag". The size will doubtless vary...some will have only 4 or 5 things others many more. Then their will be groups like the few I have been in, where everyone just does...whatever. whatever they like...whatever the want...whatever they feel like. Thats what I was getting at before...no system as a whole is ever gonna be perfect for everyone accept through custimzation. And certain specfic things within a system, such as DR, are going to be essentialy impossible to keep everyone happy with, even if the overall system is very consitent and makes for easy custimzation as needed. Is this the "right" fix for the DR problem? No, probably not. My thing is, I dont think there is one. Now admitedly, I personaly like the new DR on a personal taste level. and as I said in the types of groups I play in, most of the issues you guys talk about dont come up. But I would not be upset with the designers or accuse them of bad design very nearly no matter what they had decided to do...because whatever they did was likely to cause essentialy the same controversy as there is now, and as I have gotten the impression thier has been with the current DR system [/QUOTE]
