If you have feedback on FireBrand and believe improvements are needed or have things you consider important to see in other dragons, make sure to add them here.
(I don't really mind if this thread ends up merged into the feedback thread, but I prefer 'off topic' or 'pre-feedback' discussion to not end up mixed in with the rest, is all)
and you got all that from an introductory, level 25 boss when the max level is 50, on a game that isn't even out yet and its in active development, and didn't even have the boss completely finished.

The problem with the way you defend Intrepid/engage other posters is that if you're wrong, it's really demoralizing.
These types of feedback don't come from thin air, Intrepid tells us things that imply we are supposed to be at least a little impressed. This whole thread came from the idea that the designer of the dragon said the dragon might do something surprising.
It could simply be that the situation to trigger the surprising mechanic never came up, and it's supposed to surprise us in A2 when we fight it ourselves.
Or it could be that the dev thought they really came up with something unique and were wrong. Stop being a dick to people who want to help in the second case.
glad we are in a free society xD
anyways to focus on the point you are making, the designer said the dragon will do things that are expected from dragons, such as a tail swipe, a claw attack and a fire breath attack, and will also do things that arent expected from dragons. he didn't say that there will be revolutionary or groundbreaking mechanics. he just said the dragon will do things that arent expected from dragons.
imagine you are fighting a wolf. you expect the wolf to lunge and bite you. you don't expect the wolf to swipe you with its claws. that's that you would expect from a tiger. if a wolf in verra swipes you, that's an unexpected action from a wolf, and claw swiping isn't anything groundbreaking. you would also not expect a wolf or a tiger to beat its chest, charge at you, jump in the air and slap you. that's what the dev was referring to.
back to drama. why you never call out other people hubris or egos thinking they know more? would you tell your doctor what tests to run on you and how to diagnose you? what would you do if you saw someone sick trying to tell their doctor what kind of tests they need to run on them, what kind of meds they need to prescribe, etc.?
edit: i wasnt particularly talking about the person i replied to. also, you missed me, admit it xD
I would check if there was a reason that person doing that knew what they were fucking talking about.
You know how many people nearly die in this world because they go to doctor after doctor who brushes them off and gives them the same shallow diagnosis and the same useless tests instead of listening to the patient who knows from experience why those things don't work?
Anyways, be fed, my dear social vampire. You can imagine that you actually upset me, now.
Guy thinks he's Moriarty -sighs- If I were Intrepid I'd be really annoyed you all keep talking down to Laetitian like this. Real over protective soccer mom energy when they just wanna have a good game.
do you also know how many people are saved by doctors, specially when they listen to them? probably lot more.
the point is that people try to tell others how to do their job and consider it good feedback. and you also think that's good feedback. good feedback is different.
imagine if you were telling an architect how to design a house, or an engineer / construction worker how to build it, when you've never learned how to do it or done it. that's the point I'm trying to make with the doctor analogy.
