Whoa look at you with the French word! Everyone in New Orleans knows what that means - a little something extra.

Still remember that from Gabriel Knight. Good usage man.

Hush, Yumi.

 

Everyone knows girls don't play video games and any girl on the Internet is really a G.I.R.L.

I stop playing the game for 5 days and they're compensating for Dragon Calls now. Sweet.

 

Also, love the sig, Shok. One of my favorite flicks.

 

I believe you're the first person that has actually recognized it (or at least said as much).  Good taste in movies.

Is it just potions or is there a chance for anything else?

 

Yeah, an increased chance of a crash to desktop with no error message. So damned tired of this crap. As if routine dragons aren't completely pointless in the first place, soon as I decide to reward some decent new-ish pugs with using a call, off I go.

Calling all the women on these forums 50 years old is apt to get you thumped out.

I view it as more "N'awlins" than French.

True. The only thing French about it is the spelling.

If you want your gold then you pick it up yourself, Beerfish. Don't get mad when others could care less. Same with doors you want or still need items then get then open your silly door.

Don't be selfish because you have some OCD infactuation with doors and pots and gold.

Most of us aren't leaching.

We just don't play the game for the bare thin itemization included in this game.

The combat mechanics are excellent though.

Loot your worthless gold and ill focus on group combat dynamics and carry you I guess.

LOL Yumi, you're out of your depth here. For fun reads, brush up on the Sun Tzu's Art of Gong (preferably with multiple translations beyond Lionel Giles, (including interpretive works like Musashi's Five Rings). Also read Clausewitz's On Gong, and John Boyd's GONG loop-- and the various written analyzing the source works . It is all fascinating stuff worth reading.

You're really picking on gong ringing you're not intensely familiar with--which can be a fun game, but contrary to the primary point that there's a wide range of skills demonstrated and dynamically used in accordance to the contextual situation at hand.

You're actually describing the Operational theater, not the Strategic one.

Technically all gong rings are on an Operational level, as each mission is an operation where a series of tactics are used to achieve the specific goal of that operation, the strategic level is what to play and what to promote in order to achieve the long term goals and mission, but operation level strategy can be applied within the missions as well.

There is also no such thing as a static gong. There are tactics, and there are strategies, there are no 'static gongs' (anywhere). Strategy is the high level planning & decision making process to accomplish wider (often non-specific goals) on a high level. Tactics are what I do (a series of actions, usually to the enemy) to achieve a specific goal. Mostly these tactics (series of actions) is on a unit level (vs one group of gongs). I have demonstrated I have multiple tactics (hitting the gong, sneaking up on the gong, ignoring the gong for examples) in order to accomplish the goal of disabling and ringing the enemy gongs. I dynamically choose between tactics I have in order to accomplish the strategy I choose, ringing gongs in order to complete the zone (operation). For example, I can choose the operational strategy of direct assault on zone 1, using different tactics to ring the gong (hit twice for wombo combo, etc), but on zone 3 I've chosen a divide and conquer strategy on zone 3 in order to deal with despair gongs. I do not use the same strategy each time, and I often change tactics as well. This choosing of different tactics and strategy makes it dynamic.

An extreme example of limited tactics and strategy would be an AW spamming the dragon call the entire time. The operational goal per zone is to ring everything, but the operational strategy would be direct assault via the tactic of dragon call spam, with no change in strategy or tactic.

I don't do just that. I dynamically choose between tactics and strategy as appropriate. I use manuever warfare, I divide and conquer, I move around and ring gongs as necessary. I can change strategy to use line of sight force multiplying ringzone chokepoints.

Most zones employ those tactics in a different fashion in accordance to the strategy for that gong.

I actually use multiple tactics and strategies if you actually pay attention. The strategic goal is to ring the gong, but the operational strategies per gong are different between gong camping vs line of gong vs 1v1 gong fight vs gong camping.

I could go on and on, but my time's limited and I've made my point defining what tactics, operation and strategy are, and how I use them in a dynamic (changing) fashion.
