Is it over? Do you think there is hope for dawntrail?
>>681434489content wise we'll be alright, all the fights are fun afbut sheesh, this msq. we're gonna need a writer replacement, its awful.>inb4 im a doomposter/schizo/shitposter because I don't 100% love every single thing about an expansion
>>681434489Why would it be over? The numbers are great

>>681434489The antagonist in tank role quests is pretty hot Elezen at least.
>>681434604What's funny is people are mostly saying the actual content is better but still getting shit on if they admit the story was bad.
>>681434604Why? What have I done to deserve all this hate?
>>681434489>Y'shtola annihilates chudcels the world over with just three words.
>>681434710sorry, maybe id like you more if you were written betteror maybe your flaws and stupidity would be more forgivable if you were 12 years younger
Guys, what do you think looks better as a MNK, a midlander or a highlander? I kinda fear a highlander might be too bulky and kill the agile and flexible aesthetic, but by the same rule I fear a midlander might look too weak.
>>681434853Midlander looks fine as MNK, also they have eyebrows.
This is Gulool Ja's expansion.

>>681435126wukage d luffy learned 2nd gear off screen
The only raid gear they've actually recycled is WoD and Mhachi series, huh? What was up with the Allagan replicas anyways?
>>681435204HE DID THE POSE!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT I STOOD UP AND CLAPPED AND CAME IN MY PANTS WHEN HE DID THE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>681435126According to the double lizard himself she became confident in herself.Yeah thats the actual answer.
>>681435204they can fuck off with the Arthas baiting after what they did in shadowlands
>>681435204now do that pose again without crying and shitting your pants
>>681434604>writer replacementSorry anon. They only replace the good writers. There's a reason everyone but Oda gets promoted or moved to another project.
>>681434489>type "Dawntrail reviews" on a twitter search out of morbid curiosity>Every single fucking post is blaming the transphobe boogieman to deflect the dogshit writing for WukThis is why people hate trannies, its physically impossible for them to stop being self-inflicted dipshit lightning rods of hate.
>>681435334>Arthas baitingNo fucking way they're actually baiting to do stuff with Arthas at this fucking point.
>>681434853Hrothgar because you will be doing sharp swipes and punch coeurls at enemies
>>681435405They're not, they're just baiting nostalgia with a pose. They literally killed Arthas so hard in Shadowlands that he's ultra super mega hyper dead. Kinda like Hydaelyn
>Halo's Arbiter fightPretty fun.
People are afraid to be critical of the game because they need to be seen supporting it due to political reasons. If they criticize it they’re criticizing the woke aspects of it, therefore they have to just smile and grimace through the writing because it’s the Right Side of History.
>>681435494>>681435347>>681435334>>681435267You understand Arthas didn't invent point with a sword just checking ok.
I liked the story in spite of Wuk Lamat. The final area was genuinely pretty great.
>>681435494Ah. Ah, I see the pose now. Been so long since I played WoW that when I saw that trailer out of curiosity I somehow didn't recognize Arthas' sword point pose.
>>6814353591984
>>681435126Typical shounenshit, just turn your brain off
>>681435545Why are you posting this again?
>>681434964That little nigger is probably my 3rd favorite character of the expansion.
There's only hope for XIV if they fire Kate and Hiroi. This is not a joke. The game WILL die if those two have continued involvement.
>>681435617Because it needed to be said again.
Alright are they going to explain why there's two sisters named WAYAKKWE and Nostalgia
The next expansion will be the ShB-esque redemption to DT's SB-esque reception
>>681435494I can actually see the parallels.>Game went to shit after Arthas died>Game went to shit after Venat died>Arthas is giga dead, not even his soul remains>Venat is giga dead, not even her soul remains>Developers are trying to milk the franchise for all it's worth before pulling the plugGRIM
>>681435564It's the literal exact same pose down to the camera angle. Deny it all you want but they're 100% nostalgia baiting lmao
>She’s not the protag take your meds
I miss my best friend, bros...
>>681435674They literally explain it in the scene you meet them. Don't skip and then bitch about missing shit.
>>681435747I can't believe Wandering Mistrel fucking betrayed us like this.
>>681435334It's not bait. He's Arthas's son at this point.
>>681435617He's not wrong
Just sat through a cutscene with erenville talking to some viera fag from his hometown and he was voiced by a woman. What the fuck?
>>681435747>Wuk Lamat and her lackey Yoshida-san?!?
>>681435756I met them as unnamed background extras dipshit
FFXIV story was never good
>>681435545It’s not that woke what are you going on about.
>>681435754That, I can't deny.
>>681435871Cool do literally 1 more quest.
>>681435494Part of Arthas is 100% in Anduin at this point. He will come out and admit to Anduin that he's his true father
>>681435894>faggot pic with bad opinion why is this always the case
>>681435831>ENG dub point and laugh at this fucking retard
>Thread Spammer is a /pol/ fag who follows that SEAmonkey Malaysian Ian Miles Cheong I can't express enough how fucking funny that is
>>681435126We job the exact same way to Zenos (and also Ran'jit but who cares about that guy) and overcome him later in much the same fashion. This phenonemon is nothing new to this game, it just stands out more for Wuk because she's a much worse character in other respects.
>>681435863>Wuk Lamat and the old relic she allows to follow herYoshida-san...
>>681435545
>>681435359I mean there is no real way to criticize the game's biggest flaw without coming across as transphobic. The tranny VA is incapable of vocal inflection to promote emotional tone while keeping up their fake, nasally trans voice. Once can't really attack this reality without basically accepting trans men do not sound like women and cannot properly vocalize varying degrees of emotion.. which is true. The current social agenda doesn't see "harmful" truths as truths.
>>681435929I WILL
>>681435923it’s by-the-numbers politically correct. there has to be a term for this kind of writing that invokes the philosophy of Calarts
>>681435923No but they need to support the trans VA and Kate, it’s what’s surrounding the game.
>People in shout talking about how much Wuk lamutt suckswew we really are SB 2
>>681436000Yeah sorry, I played with the japanese dub. I'm immune to that political bullshit, and the character was still garbage.
>>681435747What the fucking fuck are they doing
>>681435359>>681436000You can, and people have, criticized the games writing because the writers are responsible for WL being shit. Not the VA
>Same pics>Same posts>over and over
MMO players persist forever on the lowest of quality, it does not matter. All of you have spent hundreds of thousands of hours in a chat-room game.
>>681434489I don't know...The first half of the story was a bit poor. When I figured what they were going for with it, so I could maybe enjoy it for what it was, it was already near the end. And I kinda enjoyed the finale of it, with Bakool Ja Ja making a 180. Then the Texas filler part was really boring. I don't remember being so bored in XIV before.The Sphene arc was pretty good. Sure, there were worse parts, but it's how the game is. For every cool stuff there's something bad like part two of Labirynthos or fixing the trolley. And yeah, it was somewhat rewritten Emet-Selch plot, but this time with a cute girl and not a fujo. I'm not complaining. Hope she'll be back somehow. Pic related?The rest of the content is as we're used to it. Dungeons are pretty fun. Gearing is as always. Same with crafting and gathering. Role quests are as usual, a mixed bag, some are fun, some are boring. Cities are ok, I prefered EW one, they were more convenient with market board, aetherytes, etc. but it's not a major complain. For the rest we'll have to wait for the patches. MSQ might get better. Raids, exploratory zone, beast tribes, relics, criterion/variant dungeons. I remain hopeful. Graphical update for the most part looks like shit. Character models are nice, but gear does not. It's as pixelated as before, even new items.
>>681436158You've already had your hero's journey, this is about helping somebody start their own. Only problem is Wuk Lamat is uh oh stinky
>>681435989>different side of history>this is the shit translations xiv has nowThe language used is so fucking bad. It's so preachy and ties into modern politics way too much.Any hope that Kate would be a faithful translator is gone. There was still a benefit of doubt in ShB and EW but it's no more.
>>681436216>hundredsRookie numbers lmao
>>681436098Good, if people don't like the character it means the character will be retired like Papalymo and Yda/ Lyse.
Leave Dawntrail to us
>hypervelocity requires a targetThe fuck>has the worst explosion effect in the entire GNB move setThis keeps happening in this expansion, the new Shoha and Zanshin also feel super weak

>>681436175I also have a problem with the va for wuk lamat not being hired based on qualifications. so I’m gonna keep bringing it up

I wonder why Yrel was liked in WoD but Wuk is hated
>>681436387Kill yourself
>>681436262You remember all the "kate is not a boogeyman" and "you're exaggerating, go back to /pol/"?
>>681436323Anon please I'm on no fap
>>681436514looks hot + not a disgusting tranny
>>681436175A good VA can make a badly written character come to life. wuk just happens to be written terrible and voiced by an amateur tranny trying to put on two different voices at once while failing at both.
>>681436514WoWfags don't care about the story and the ones who do will eat literally any slop that's placed in front of them
>>681436514Because Yrel is hot and light hitler. Wuk is ugly and a dunce.
>>681436551see here>>681435965Where's your sword and shield culture Warrior?

Give it to me straight, lads. I just finished the cooking bullshit and I can't do this anymore. What happens between now and when something of note actually starts happening? I need to cutscene skip until then.
>vrtra shows up out of nowhere with a dragon army>footfalls starts playingfirst time this expansion made me laugh
>>681437401It's been happening, maybe pay attention.
>
I liked the story. Not the parts with the lion girl (which there are unfortunately a lot of) but everything else was still good. Living Memory was a fantastic zone and even Naruto couldn't drag it down.
why cant i jump ship to koana's group im just wondering
>>681437401You're at the end of the streak of most egregiously boring bullshit although there's some more mixed in.
>>681437440>Hate him>Always dread scenes with him>Still manages to be one of the highlights of DT
>>681434604>>681435357The game is almost 15 years old. They're not gonna keep actual talent on the team when they have big budget projects they want to succeed.As soon as everyone started praising Ishikawa's writing, it was obvious she would be moving up in the company.
>>681437540Cool it with the transphobia
>>681437537>living memory was a fantastic zoneBoy, I should introduce you to its bigger brother then: the tempest.
>>681437540She's the avatar and you gotta deal with it>tfw I was asked by koana and her if I wanted to stay in tural forever
>>681437401A lot of the starter stuff feels like filler (because, really, it IS filler for the most part) but it's also setting up themes that will become relevant for the later half of MSQ where things actually happen. The Yok Tuy arc in particular is something you'll want to keep in mind.
>Wuk Lamat is a sheltered retard not fit to rule>Sphene gets her kingdom taken over by an autistic lizard>Mamool Ja women are forced to be just a two head breading factory>Erenville and Krile's mothers serve no purpose but get killed for a sad story momentDoes Hiroi hate women?
>>681434694I think you only see two or so during the msq but I was amazed by how good both were looking
>>681436262You think you hate localizers a lot, but the truth is you don't hate them nearly enough.
>>681437807Japan in general does.
>>681437745You weren't actively pulling the life support on Amaurot. Even after long after SHB is done and dusted it's still there for the foreseeable future.
>>681434895what now big boy?
>>681437695The time investment of a writer shouldn't preclude them from working on multiple games honestly. That Nojima fucker is fucking everywhere even now let alone in the late 90s.
>>681438002>Chadlander>With eyebrows>PC can't have eyebrowsYOSHIDA?!?!?
>>681437745I think he's already met the tempest if he's in Dawntrail anon>>681438002Holy SHIT what the fuck
>>681437016>>let's not take The Negotiator: Blue Alphinaud™ with usGood, we're not trying to start a war
>>681436514WoW is not a story focused game. You can ignore it basically entirely and it hardly affects the experience. Yrel wasn't particularly present, on top of being a cute girl with cute VA.In XIV the story basically is the game. Dawntrail has 20+ hours of cutscenes and dialogue. So it really hurts when the writing sucks.
>Lamatyi is no on screen>Where is LamatyiThe memes are real lmao
>>681437917>you don't hate them nearly enoughIt's funny how similar journos and localizers are
Lamat has a surprisingly resolute revenge murder boner
>>681437807>hydaelyn is super dead>every attractive woman gets written out of the plot except for yshtolanot any more than ishikawa
So is DT the Phantom Menace of XIV?Do we hope to get a Revenge of the Sith equivalent down the line?
>>681438456>In 6 years it's gonna be good broOh boy
clown job. even the sergeant judges you
>>681434964Who's his mother? Sphene?
>>681438416>>every attractive womanhello? estinien.
>>681438456you get an attack of the clones next
Im actually bummed out by how bad this MSQ is, just got the blue forest and cant wait for it to end.
I know one of you fuckers have Sphene lewds already. Where are they?
They couldn't give us a big Garlemald, they had to condense EW's story.But the banana boat festival and goblin pottery, now that's important. Give Wuk another speech too, and talk to 3 citizens before and after.Seriously, they should have cut the succession thing to 90-93. 90-95 is waaay too long. Then keep the sibling war, but make the queen a rival to us.
>>681437401Don't listen to cultists. I'm nearly done with the MSQ.You can skip absolutely everything until Zone 4. If you want a low stakes adventure, I highly recommend experiencing Zone 4, it's pretty fun. After that, watch the cutscene once you are done fixing the train, then rampantly skip everything until Zone 5. Then you can start watching cutscenes. Realistically you could probably keep skipping until Otis appears but there's some genuine actual set up in Zone 5 that's important for the climax of the zone as well as Zone 6.Anyone who says "the early parts are SETUP" is an unironic retard who does in fact lack media literacy. The theme is 'understanding', and the way you understand is bullshit filler. Even in Zone 5/6 there's shitloads of meaningless fucking filler bullshit that isn't fun or interesting.
>>681438523Sphene is a robot anon.
>the next patch that can "save the msq" is lalafell islandlmao
>>681436514One: WoW has never put the player character at the center for cutscenes. WoW players are already conditioned to think their own presence is dubious canon and really this is someone else's story and they themselves will only be addressed in small window dialogues (at least as far as I played).Two: Yrel was a slave who got freed and then rose up against the orcs devastating her lands and killing her people. That is a much, MUCH more compelling reason to support her than Wuk just casually asking us to make her queen because she just said so.Three: I didn't directly play through it so I can't comment on exactly how present Yrel is through that expansion, at that point I was just keeping up out of casual curiosity, but I at the very least remember other characters doing stuff. Like, Thrall fucking killed Garrosh (and there was a huge shitstorm about it).
>>681438002too much codingprease wait until 8.0
>>681438523No. The Hiroi has just spent so much time with Kate and Sweet Baby he just forgot how reproduction works.
>>681438640And? Zajool had to have fucked something.
>>681438613You can quite literally skip every single cutscene in the DT MSQ and miss nothing worth caring about.
>>681438456Nothing could or should ever be compared to the phantom menance because that movie is it's own entire breed of awful. At the very least I had fun with the dungeons and trials in dawntrail. There's literally nothing good about the phantom menace that could be compared to that small amount of brevity.
>>681438105born on the wrong side of the ocean, friendo. shouldn't have been born to eyebrow-shaving weirdos
>dawntrannies see the reviews for the expansion are worse than stormblood and immediately start dogpiling lyseTrue Ala Mhigan PATRIOTS (not ilberd, fuck that nigger), now is our time to STAND BACK and STAND BY. We may lose battles, but we will WIN the war against WOKE LAMAT!
>>681438768Yeah but if you don't mind what is functionally a Raid or Trial storyline I think the 5/6 MSQ is fine.
>>681437401almost the entirety of zones 1-3 are pure filleri'm not a cutscene skipper and never will, but that's the truth of the matter
Can we take a moment to appreciate the retardation of cowboys duelling with rubber bullets?
>>681438523Cahciua.
>>681438416>except for yshtolaShe was even less relevant than thancred and urianger this time
>>681435204You mean her?
>>681438512>wears clown gear>clown jobYou failed the vibe check
I consider myself a pretty liberal and tolerant person but a lot of the story had me go "wtf are you guys stupid?"
>>681438941And her lines were recorded through a phone or something, lower quality and very quiet
>>681438872Another trial storyline after the last helping of sewage we were served in EW? Anyone sane would politely decline. Hence: you can skip everything and miss nothing.
>>681436514WoW story is like a small break from the gameplay, and usually happens during the gameplay, all the gay shit in the world isn't going to get in the way of slamming that dps comboFFXIV's gameplay is a small break from the MSQ VN shit, that sucks now, so everyone hates Wuk for ruining it.

>>681438862My Ala Mhigan BROTHER......I am still not defending Lyse. She's retarded. Fuck that. "I don't like one side's actions so I support the other side that also has shitty actions" is some retarded bipartidist murrikan thinking.

>>6814393436.45 at the absolute earliest. Also Erenville will be the trainer. Lyon won't be acknowledged at all.
>>681439349Not really. Everything is pretty mid. I'm mildly annoyed at how the giants were handled too.
My favorite character interaction was in the 99 trial when Alphinaud tells Stinny where to go.Says a lot.
>>681439262I can agree with this, Gulool Ja Ja's VA stood out to me even more than Wuk's did. That guy is absolutely awful at pulling off the mesoamerican accent that they forced onto everyone for the first half and that's saying something considering half the cast already struggle with it.>>681439349Otis was phenomenal. Sphene wasn't bad either. Really, anyone introduced from Shaolaani and onward was pretty good, with perhaps Cahciua being the sole exception.
>>681439340You're blind if you think that's cute.
Danuser won
>>681439560its because Cahciua is a nigger and speaks with a nigger accent.

i don't understand how did this get on my hotbar if you can't put it on your hotbar
What was the funniest moment in the expansion for you? For me it was at the train montage when they suddenly blasted the song, it was so sudden and weird to have that here i was so confused at the absurdity it made me lough out loud.Coincidentally the least funny moment was from the moment wuk appeared when i was enjoying the final boss up until the credits when the song blasted again but this time i wasn’t laughing, i felt very neurotic during those 15 minutes and im still mad 2 days later
>>681440960Sounds like you should be playing vpr instead of pct.
>>681440960Read the last line
>>681440960You've used the weapon motif skill
>>681438563same anon, i dont care if its doomer shit but i was looking forward to this and seeing the state of the MSQ is depressing
>>681440998How the fuck did you finish it that fast? Did you take a day off and play it nonstop all day?
>>681440864Yeah it's horrible, I instinctively lowered my volume both times
>>681440998this
>>681440659I will deadname everyone and everything

>>681440864I find it funny how Americans seem to associate soul with cheap Disney productions
>Completely irrelevant NPC gets to do DBZ shit in a cutscene>My monk still has to stand slackjawed on the sidelines of every sceneI don't fucking care what excuse they have anymore this sucks
>>681440659>rename them to tribal quests because kate is upset>renames them AGAIN because kate is still upsetShe's gotta go.
>>681441127I laughed every time.
>>681440659>tfw they’re not all beasts but they are all tribes
>>681440998Funniest thing to me was whenever Wuk Bruv or whatever his name was would show up and do his shtick. It was very, very japanese and repetitive, but I loved it. I agree about the trial though, my enjoyment of it plummeted as soon as Wuk Lumat showed up and made it all about her again.
Stormblood was 10 times better than Dawntrail
>>681441089Yes actually but it was 2 days where i live since it released in the morning.
EL GATO TACO
Glad I quit this shit in 5.1 and never looked backDunno why you guys enjoy getting fucked in the ass so much by this dev team and their stupid decisions again and again>Gameplay became shit>Class design became shit>Story became shit>Graphics are still shitThat only leaves the music but that's hardly a reason to keep throwing money at a bunch of retards testing how much shit they can get away with until the retarded playerbase finally realizes.Do you guys really have so much Stockholm syndrome for this game you're willing to keep getting ass fucked until EoS no matter how bad it gets?
>>681441171americans are the worlds foremost authority on music, unironically

>>681440898Don't whine if you're going to actively ignore details pertaining to what you're whining about
>>681441325The middle of Stormblood was asscheeks the ending was just better
Yes, Dawntrail MSQ is shit. That doesn't make the Stormblood MSQ not shit.

What healer is the most fun in your opinion?
>>681440439>mid Ruby Seahuh, never knew he made it past the wallall I saw him do after that was chocobo racing
get ACKed
thoughts on Picto?it's extra steps of long casts with 0pot just to be able to use your oGCD/CD. Which feels super bad.it would be ok if the power was making up for it, like knowing you hit really fucking hard for making that sacrifice of doing nothing for a few seconds. but i have 0 feedback or way of knowing that, since there's no DPS meter and they aren't allowed :) awesome
>>681441670War
>>681441724my brother in christ, the tooltip literally tells you the three hammer strikes are auto crits
>>681434489After this...no...Dawntrail is finished
>>681441724>I'm incapable of doing basic math
>People without flying crying about hunt trains being too fast
>>681434489No, lmfao. People are finally realizing that FFXIV is stagnant content wise, and paying $15 a month to do a tranny socializing simulator with a poorly written YA VN attached is never worth it.Go play VRChat, at least using a mic can let you kind of feel like you're learning social skills.
>>681441240It sounds like something suggested by a sensitivity consultant.

For your reference, the Wuk Lamat hanging image above is being spammed by either a poor troll or a completely genuine /pol/tard, traced back to "fragmentlayer09" on Twitter.
>Got WHM to 100 without realizing i had forgotten about the new dash skill which wasn't automatically put on my bar
>>681441346No bullshit dude, feeling the same. 10 years invested and this is where we end up at, I'm sick of this shit. Catering to a dumbass audience with overinflated egos that treat this game like Second Life.It absolutely caters to the modern audience that is okay with bottom of the barrel updates and identity politic bullshit.Normally I can be forgiving, but it has been 10 years and this is all they can do? At the very least, it sounds like the raids are cool, but I'm not giving Square more money to fund the stupid shit they keep doing and I can't be assed to deal with a shit MSQ. I already did that with Stormblood. I'm not doing that shit again.
>>681441916>schizo post about your personal boogeymanthat's nice dear
>>681439657nta but she's actually been a fun character that doesn't try to outshine the player.Fucking weird times where xiv gets the shitty tranny and wow dodges a bullet with its token black character.
>>681441942>average whm playershould have been ast that got the movement skill,
>>681441817yeah that one feels good because the numbers pop up big, which is as much info as we're allowed >>681441891there aren't many jobs easier than Picto though, not sure what you mean by that.
>>681441434You mean the city ran by jews who made up the term
>>681441902sylphs are finemoogles don't count as beastmen, apparentlybirdniggers are anywhere near the forest because the elementals are too weak to pick them out
>>681442037That' s a retcon
>>681435126She supposedly engaged dynamis for a powerup.Which is a load of horse shit, because if so then the divine two headed child would never have been able to rally the troops and invade the service because a hroth soldier defending his homeland from rape lizards would've ALSO felt strongly enough about defending his family and home to engage Dynamis
>>681441942The WHAT
She won.Apologize.
>>681441942Same but with GNB though i wish they hadn’t even bothered, this skill is a bit humiliating

>>681442189No idea who this is I'm not south american
can we discuss the Monk situationwhy did they give us two gcds we have to fit inside an extremely tight window?

>>681441916I don’t use twitter but I agree with trannies swinging from a noose.
How do we get the tranny to 41% himself?
>>681442276I think they genuinely did not know what they're doing at all for a lot of Endwalker changes and additions.
>>681442276The buffs last longer than they used to. You have plenty time, you just have to do 2 double weaves.
>>681441724>>681441724The game literally shows you with the damage numbers that pop up (obviously) and by the enmity bar being basically a damage meter, highest damage DPS will be 2nd on aggro in light parties and 3rd in full parties if the other tank also has his stance on. With Black Mage in particular, you literally see your enmity shoot up every time you do a fire IV or xenoglossy
>>681442369
>>681438709>8.0Optimistic!
>>681442189Don't need to apologize, dragonflight is tied with legion for best WoW expansion (and easily best MMO during their runs), War Within looks like it's adding a lot of amazing shit... whereas FFXIV hasn't added any new mechanics in years...
what's the verdict on pct?

>>681434604Eh I can see them redeeming it in the patches, they talked about it setting up things more long-term like ARR did.However they have to deliver. As-is it's nowhere near as strong of an MSQ as the last few and it's also not as in-depth of a setting exploration as ARR it's more like Stormblood.

These people are being fed a lie by ideologues, being told that irreversible changes to their bodies is the key to happiness, and when they ask if this is really the right thing to do, there's zero pushback. And then once it's all said and done and you're suffering, nobody wants to touch you because acknowledging your suffering would be politically incorrect.It's a group of people who are struggling to find a place and identity for themselves in a world that no longer makes sense and this is what they find, a big fat fucking lie held up by a cowardly society too afraid to tell them the truth.

I unsubbed before DT came out. Looking at xivdiscussion, the official forums and even the main reddit sub, I'm so glad I didn't buy DT holy shit the anger is insane. Playing WoW SoD now. Actually having fun with playing the game, even if it is grindy as shit
>>681443892But Tsubame is still a button, why I would need meikyo for it? This is so comprehensible
>>681443705its still theretsubame is only accessible if you use mekyoi forsee higenbana will drop for a sec or two because of the increase in recast timer in your loop
>Playing WoW SoD now.Words said by no one ever

>>681444776It sounds harmless when spoken but it's functionally the same as "but how does this affect YOU personally?"The lack of rules and the liberal attitude towards the nature of peoples relationships is in fact what leads to people doing it on the streets like you said.

>>681444489Because they hate me
Even when Lamat puts on her serious voice in Japanese her stupid looking :3 face makes her still seem like a dork

>>681445372forget about the doomed timeline, where's the based timeline?
>>681441346>>681445307i often wonder how the game would play today if they hadn't thrown out 1.0's combat systemas it stands, the current battle system is just WoW's combat but worse in basically every way, and at its most basic level (ie, fighting trash mobs) it feels like fucking shit and isn't fun at allthe game only becomes fun when you're trying to juggle playing hop scotch with boss floor patterns while doing your rotation

>>681445612Hopefully she goes to hang out with lyse, who posthumously is now a much better character.
>>681445806Zoraal Ja is half-machine at this point as well. I can see them having a baby. I can imagine Sphene taking a huge lizard dick.
>>681445805>>681445806didn't she get completely deleted at the end? I know her crown functions like a regulator but is there anything left to restore her from?
>>681446035You played Endwalker and Dawntrail and think they care?
>>681443681Nothing wrong with having some compassion for your fellow man.
So um how are the crafting changes
>>681446035Either she's coming back via the crown or someone is using the crown for their own gains and we have to stop him.
sloppy BJs behind the arcadion
>>681443220this was ok until the banshee started singing
>>681446426already gave graha one on the gondola.
>>681443220First time i muted an expansion ending.
>>681444916Yeah, big boy about to get his pee hole twisted
>can no longer do trial roulette as a quick throwaway on my main jobs because I might get one of the new MSQ trials and be there forever
>>681446915I was afraid of that, instead I got Nabriales.
why is the other thread such a dumpster fire holy shit
>>681445870Enderman looking ass
>>681447351>fucking chrysalis is a relief compared to DT trialsHoly shit, is it that bad?
>oh boy the motorcycle mount won't be lame with leaning>has 4 wheels>leans like 10 degreeslame
Do you think sphene will return? Her crown glowing again teaser. Not sure if shards share lifestream with the source but she died hundreds of years ago so she could have reincarnate again. I hate the scions btw
>>681447618oh and the stationary animation has the left and right suspension move separately for it to lean over with both sides in contact with the ground but the moving lean animation doesn't so that's extra lame
Why do people call them toons, are they mentally unwell?
>>681447829ToonTown holdover behavior
>>681447694sphene will be that thing that the wol always deals with undead program ghost or something that only wol can see so ghost sphene can drop lore and explain shit. those are the most kino moments the wol and invisible guardian guy doing exposition.
>>681446426I wanna ram my dick down her throat
>>681447694reminded me a lot of the teaser in Titanfall 2, so literal ghost in the machineshe'll be back for sure
>>681447940That'd be good. The best bits with Sphene was her actually interacting with your character instead of Wuk.
>>681447881It's way older than that, I remember people calling their avatars in Ultima Online and Everquest toons.
>emet selch smiles, as his last acct was directing the wol to two of the most insufferable storylines ever created in this gamehe won in the end. well played emet, i will remember you
>>681448431>Emet has his first and only belly laugh ever after returning to lifestream after telling the WoL all the worse possible places they could go to while dressing it up as "ADVENTURE".
Its amazing how much the quality shoots up whenever Wuk Lamat isn't on screen
>>681449060Uh oh, we can't have that.
>>681449264
>>681449353GET YE GONE FURFAGS
>>681449445
>>681439343I fucking love these images so much, lmao.
>>681450182Aye, it's a tough job, being your greatest ally from the shadows
Sphene constantly saying Tuliyollal instead of Turial makes me think someone else wrote this part of the game
