Utterly Mad

Nah, I'd say Last Man Posting is sort of off topic in every way possible enough that game discussion is fine here, since it followed the flow of the thread.

Also I am concerned about how many people read the moderator forum, there are things you couldn't even imagine in there.
It's also where we talk about how much we hate Rhodri.
I'm joking

I am quite aware you are joking. It's where some of you talk about how much you hate Tesla.
YOUR SECRETS HAVE BEEN REVEALED! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Also I've realised I joke about disliking Rhodri a lot, just to be clear you're actually one of my favourite people on here.

On the topic of Bloodborne, here are a few confusing design decisions that seem to do very little to benefit the game and instead just make everything more tedious. 

1. Blood Vials and Quicksilver Bullets.  Why are these even lootable consumables?  Why don't they just automatically restore your stock when you respawn without needing to have them in storage?  Sure, I guess it theoretically means that you can go for longer without needing to hit a lantern, but the much more damning downside is that if you run out of these, you have to go and tediously farm for more echoes or drops to replenish your stock (ESPECIALLY **** WITH THE LONG LOAD TIMES TO GET TO YOUR FARM SPOTS).  It takes away far more than it adds to the game, and Estus Flasks from Dark Souls were a much better healing mechanic overall because it didn't waste my TIME. 

2. Costs of consumables increases as your progress through the game.  This serves no purpose other than being a sink for your blood echoes, which probably wouldn't have been a problem to begin with if there were actually weapons, armor, and other bits and bobs you'd want to spend your **** on and experiment with.  Just makes me waste my TIME for basic supplies. 

3. The lack of high end upgrade materials.  This only further discourages experimentation because there's only one Blood Rock in the entire main game, and you have to farm a ton to get Blood Chunks just to get your items to +9.  They could've like...made them available for purchase for large amounts of blood echoes to serve as a sink instead of just bumping up consumable costs across the board, but they didn't, because **** you.  Go waste your TIME running boring ass chalice dungeons that don't give you anything interesting so we can pretend our game has more content than it actually does. 

4. Having to go back to the Hunter's Dream to fast travel between areas.  Why?  Just give a list like in Dark Souls 2 that allows you to port between areas without having to triple the number of load screens for no goddamn reason so I don't have to waste my TIME looking at your limited as hell item lore entries. 

Probably more my pet peeves about the game that waste my TIME that kills my desire to play it again until they have a real content update for the thing, but there they are.

Okay, I don't think anyone can view the mod board any more without actually being a mod.

Here's what I thought was going on
1: OH **** WE GOT A PROBLEM HOW DO WE FIX IT!
2: Man I really hate what X did in Y thread (or other just general venting
3: discussion of what to do about complaints
4: some private chat between mods.
