[QUOTE="Black Knight Irios, post: 5979425, member: 8853"] I have to agree the middleground between AS&BMX is far more reasonable than one of the extremes. At the same time I think the game should fix the problem that one player can build a char that is indeed a jack-of-all-trades. At least if he can perform all of those activities on the same level as a dedicated char. And the feeling you get for shining in the spotlight is different if a) you shine because of you own power. b) you shine because someone else chose to not shine on purpose. I think there is something wrong if you can only shine if someone else lets you shine. I assume your ironical tone regarding 'dangers of a system' stems from your long gaming experience. I'd like a system to be easy understandable and without adjustments playable by newbies. And I, myself, am happy if I don't have to first figure out if I have to adjust something or not. And regarding the alpha dog numbers. I don't have to be in charge all the time but not being in charge does not mean I play a character that is several power levels behind the current alpha dog char. I just let someone else handle most of the talking/etc. But at the end of the evening I want to be sure that my contribution was meaningful being the alpha dog or not. My quintessence is, regardless of being the alpha dog or not, I think, most players don't want an underperforming char or being constantly outperformed (3E FTR vs. WIZ). [/QUOTE]
