You're not trying to counter my argument with words, you're trying to counter my argument with technical nit-pickery. And even there you're tripping over yourself.

Now we're wheeling out the fact that 'armour' isn't in the title???

Man, are you kidding me? That's desperate stuff. How many posts on these forums actually even stay on point with the title of the thread? The point of an intelligent discussion is to assess what someone has said/written and build on it. In very general terms, the OP wants to tackle the issue of CC.

In very general terms, I want to tackle it too - and I've forwarded the idea of evolving the armour system to achieve that. It's like you're saying, 'I can't come up with counter logic to what he's saying, so I'm going to try and pull the red card because he hasn't talked about REPLACING CC WITH A MORE INTERESTING EFFECT EXACTLY TO THE POINT. Even though, if you were to be particularly anal about it, I could say that's exactly what I'm doing - replace current CC with an elemental-armour based system that only allows elemental CC when elemental armour is destroyed - hence more interesting.


I...it's like your intentionally being obtuse to miss the point.

I originally stated that discussing the armor system as the focus of the thread seems an off topic tangent.

You said it was.

I pointed to the fact that the thread was about CC effects.

You were in fact the one to bring in the title and OP and point out how manageable constituted the armorur system managing CC.

Now your complaining that I'm backing up my original point , and you're doing it by complaining that threads don't stay on point. Which has nothing to do with us debating the original focus of the thread.

I haven't had to come up with counter logic to anything cause you literally can't back up anything you've said concerning the focus of the thread. You've resorted to trying to destroy my own points but you can't.

Now your trying to undermine the effectiveness of my pints by making it seem like it shouldn't matter and then running off from the argument.

In the most broadest of terms, the OP is to address issues of CC. The armor system does fall in that scope but it's so far from the original intent that's it's laughable.

And hello? Your not discussing replacing current CC anything -> your entire idea is around replacing how one prevents CC. That's not touching the skills or status effects at all.

Your talking about managing "preventing" CC being more interesting.

That's not making the CC "itself" more interesting.

You quite simply aren't arguing anything worthy of note aside from the freedom to go off topic. Which you can of course, but try to make something up to validate that your tangent thread within a thread is on point to the original topic

Also, I'm est in NYC so it's 8 pm here
