Everyone has different ideas of what is a sensible power level for characters for IC interactions. If you live in some fantasy world thinking everyone just accepts everything everyone does, then that'd be kinda weird. For example, myself and others tend to limit our interactions with people who RP as though the MSQ happened...I'd prefer to limit my interactions with someone who would ICly say that they have felled what are, essentially, gods. Everyone has their own idea how this and who they like to RP with. Now that I understand what he interpreted for RP, I understand why my views conflict with his. Simple as that.
Let me elaborate: If you want to get an 8 man party together to build your story and fight a primal ICly on EX mode or whatever, that's totally cool and maybe believable. If you're gonna tell me you felled a primal on your own ICly....that pushes my limits for what is acceptable for ME to believe ICly.
Alright! I mean, that's fine. I was just wondering if perhaps you (and many others I'm sure; when I'm RPing with people I don't know outside my FC, I say Shopu's only fought Leviathan, since that's the only egi she has anyway) were overestimating how uncommon primal-summonings occur, and people need to take 'em down when it happens, so... It's a totally cool thing to build a story around and it actually sounds like we're basically on the same page. But I just like to make sure before I go assuming things and jumping in (and then I went and wrote my assumption-based thoughts anyway, but)
Shopu certainly hasn't even come close to 1v1ing them WoL style, I'd humm at that too, and Shopu especially would, considering how tough her company found it with a party of at least, like, ten.
also!! sorry if my tone came off as argumentative? I really didn't mean to sound like I was trying to start an argument, just trying to figure out why you thought that D% As someone who's put a lot of time and thought into their IC summoner, whenever Summoner discussions come up I'm basically ready to go "It's not one of the 'untouchables' like WHM, and here's why". It's a fun thing to RP so it's, like... if people think they can't be one I'd like to let them know they can? I know this thread is about like... summoning other stuff and not "Summoners" but I'm looking for threads about it right now if OP's interested in that. I know specifically the discussion of ICly fighting primals has come up somewhere so I'm still nosing around.
