Saw my item once, about one item about 5 times, finally had to vote for it, If something is posted wrong, it has to go

Star Voter Season 7

Well, placed a bunch of votes (quite a few) and the duplicates start showing up, even pitting one item I already read and voted on versus another one of those... and then there is the 60 seconds cooldown...

I understand why that's needed, to avoid spamming of votes without reading, to dissuade the dishonest among the voters, but still, it turns me off... the voting takes too long, although I really want to do my part in this!

meh... just meh...

Many of the items seem to have pricing issues. Way too cheap or way too expensive. Strange!

On a sidenote, some of the entries... nice... others... well, not! :-)

Haven't seen a Superstar Item yet though.

But why a whole minute and not like 30 seconds.

Dedicated Voter Season 7, Dedicated Voter Season 8

Lots of [b] stuck in titles too. Ouch on first impressions. But I can't judge I wore a onesie to my job interview.

Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

Ugh...just like last year, so many items that would only be used by awful, awful people. SO. MUCH. BLOOD.

Dedicated Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 9

1 person marked this as a favorite.

This item... I don't even.... it's so expensive but doesn't really do anything...

Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

WHOA. With that kind of bonus, and that kind of damage, no matter the circumstances, this item should not be anywhere near this cheap.

Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Wait, this item is not cursed? With that name and those negatives?

RPG Superstar 2015 Top 8 , Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

I've looked at a lot of items so far, and I don't think I've seen more than 1 or 2 that I could even imagine in the top 32. I don't know how representative the sample is, and I still see new ones pretty regularly, but so far I feel like this year's crop is weaker than last year's.

Not cursed you can take it off, don't know why you would put it on.

Blecch. Wall of text (learn to paragraph, plz) vs cursed item. Wall of text won as it made me laugh.

Wall of text

Now that would be a good joke item.

Seems like a good candidate for a "joke item" thread. :P

Maybe it could go down to 30 seconds once you hit star or dedicated voter? Afterall, at that point you're almost certainly seeing a lot of items you've seen before and often don't need to read them...

I guess if you want to read "cursed" as only the technical definition, then you're correct.

I seem to recall that they reduced the wait time toward the end of voting last year. I could be imagining things, though—it's late.

Dedicated Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

Hmm, haven't seen this cursed item yet. Like, it seriously doesn't do anything beneficial?

Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

ARGH. Including a "price to pay" for using an item is not a good way to reduce the cost of the item or the power (unless the "price to pay" is really clever). Most of the time, it's just lazy writing.

Doubly so when the price is XP.

Without getting into details, IMO the negatives outweigh the benefits. Thus, it's a cursed item (though not necessarily in the "can't take it off or get rid of it" sense of the word).

Star Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

Turning in for the night. Stats so far: 169 votes, 249 unique items, 16 likes (2 strong keeps, 2 weak keeps), 2 items I always vote against.

For recurring themes, I've seen 15 gloves, 4 amulets, and 2 gauntlets; 5 torcs and 3 crowns; 6 items that are or eat eyeballs; 12 cloaks; 6 lanterns and 1 lamp; 2 rings; 4 soup generators; and 3 face-removing items. Of all these items, only 2 are on my likes list.

It is like you get this negative, this negative, this negative and this negative

For these 2 minor buffs.

Look, if you want to change your character or retrain, just talk to your GM.

Oh look - I got one of the centaur items.

"I don't like that my favorite class didn't get errata'd. Thus, I'm going to make a Wondrous Item that fixes the class!"

Don't tell me how cool the item is with backstory, show me how cool the item is with kickass description!

So many summoning items and items which give the user poison based attacks!

And one of the negatives is draining XP?? Or were you talking about something else then?

Grand Lodge RPG Superstar 2012 Top 32 , Dedicated Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Dedicated Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

Just spotted a fantastically evocative item that had hardly any mechanics. Can't help but like it anyway.

The other item was a dagger so it was a pretty easy choice.

Different item.

But I think I saw the one you are taking about.

snake vs spider web


Nearing dedicated voter status and for the first time I just had a tough choice between two strong keepers. I think I'll stop for the day on a high note.

One Phoenix thing I've seen was pretty neat, if simply utilitarian. The other was about as over powered as they come.

At least there are other sigil or runes in PF but mote makes me think of the Exalted rpg.

I have to say I have only seen Filigree twice and the annoying repetitive things this year have been a lot less repetitive than last year over all I think.

Dedicated Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

I know it has been discussed before, but did anyone ever actually figure out about how many submissions are turned in each year?

And there was the 1,800,000 gp item

I'm yet to run across that fabled item :(
