#Dragons and dungeons 3 series#
When we first meet Will in the 2016 series premiere, he’s finishing up a 10-hour campaign with Lucas and Dustin, with Mike acting as the DM.
In the first couple episodes of Season 3, Will Byers really wants to play D&D, which makes sense. **SPOILER WARNING: This story contains spoilers for Stranger Things 3. Season 3 of Stranger Things truly understands the D&D experience. No, it’s the experience of wanting to play Dungeons & Dragons but continuously being told that all of your friends are too busy. It’s not even the broader experience of being a kid, going on adventures with your friends, and growing up. It’s not the experience of drinking New Coke, because not everyone remembers the ‘80s. It’s not the experience of foiling secret Soviet plans, because most viewers probably haven’t done that. Worse, however, is that players feel like they’re not being listened to, so they’re calling for a protest on July 4.There’s something in the recently released third season of Netflix’s Stranger Things that strongly, strongly resonates with some viewers. In fact, comments in these threads state that the opposite was achieved. If the developers’ goal was to make things less confusing for players, it doesn’t seem to have worked. The post doesn’t explicitly state that these are the areas being boosted to make up for the First Time bonuses. Conquest, Aggressor, and Onslaught bonuses will be “greatly boosted”. On the First Time bonus, the new post states that it is still being removed, but that they will apply boosts elsewhere to make up for it. The Delving Bonus in question is what was once known as the Bravery Bonus and it will receive a new tier for reaper offering a 150% bonus for reaper compared to the 100% for Elite and 50% for Hard. The reactions in response to the thread note concern about how this will impact XP as content exists where Conquest bonuses can’t be obtained and they’re uncertain about what counts toward Delving.Īs noted, another post addressing these changes was made on Thursday, which did clarify a few things. What players seem to have the most issues with are in regard to the removal of the “First Time” bonus per difficulty and its absorption into Conquest and Delving bonuses. The change is intended to encourage players to kill mobs and make the XP system “a little less confusing”. The protest is in response to an upcoming change announced earlier this month (and updated on Thursday). The protest would take place on July 4, during which time players would avoid doing actual content.
Like the previous MMORPG protest, this protest asks players to refrain from buying shop items while logging into the game and standing together in Stormreach. Now, it seems that time has come again, as a call has gone out on the DDO forums for “ Occupy Stormeach Part Deux”. Almost ten years ago, Dungeons & Dragons Online players held an in-game protest to get the developers to take their feelings about a development choice seriously.
