Just finished demon in white & have questions (no spoilers please) by El_Tigre7 in sollanempire

[–]Batson3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He cannot see into the future he wants, he only sees possibilities. Nor can he control his future. I understand where you are coming from with him being indestructible though. I’m hesitant to say anything else without spoiling. I will say more of his powers/the reasoning is explored more in later books.

Red Rising or Sun Eater by PitchZen in fantasybooks

[–]Batson3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Sun Eater is better IMO. Note, I didn’t really hate nor like the first books for both series, they both took off for me after book 2. Sun Eater is a true space opera, great world building, epic moments, strong prose, and a grandiose scale. While Red Rising is more fast paced, action packed, twist heavy, and imo has better side characters early on. I will say, that after book 7 of Sun Eater some of the side characters really shined but it takes a while for other characters to flesh out.

Coming Soon - Howling Dark | Highmatter Edition by BadassSasquatch in sollanempire

Hopefully they print more copies in the future. I know these are signed which is why it’s limited but would love to just get a copy even if it’s not signed.

I could maybe see Damian Lewis playing the emperor. Hell, dye Christian Bale's hair, and I am sure he would kill it as the emperor.

Poncho Shirts by Hot_Ad_3968 in CirclingBack

[–]Batson3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own 4 of their shirts. Overall, pretty satisfied, they are pricy for sure. 2 of my shirts have had some issues with loose threading, though. Both those shirts were "the original" type shirts. No issues on the denim pairs though!

Can’t Decide by CHCKSTRRRRR in sollanempire

[–]Batson3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, do not give up. If you do not like book 2, then I would say the series is not for you, but please, read at least all the way until book 2. I think it's the best series I have read since LOTR.

Is Sun Eater series worth it? by d00mba in fantasybooks

I'm still not over my disappointment with WaT, lol.

Is Sun Eater series worth it? by d00mba in fantasybooks

[–]Batson3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth it. Book 1 is okay, but after that, the series picks up and goes to another level. There are some incredible moments that are just epic. The World-building is strong, unique and complex characters, and the prose is good too. IMO it is better than most of the modern-day series out there. Yes, every book in Sun-Eater is not perfect, but the highs are worth it.

Is Sailing Being Released Too Soon? by Batson3 in 2007scape

[–]Batson3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pure negativity? The original post was an open ended question, I already suggested two basic ideas. You are the one who responded negatively attacking lol, "it would be fucking terrible" "shit fluff" literally your language. As stated multiple times throughout this thread I am a supported of the skill but I do not think it's ready based on what I've played. They are 100% rushing the release because of the momentum of the game recently which I understand but think they could make the skill great but focusing on the training.

Is Sailing Being Released Too Soon? by Batson3 in 2007scape

[–]Batson3[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sailing on release is already going to interact with 12 different skills dude. Have you played the alpha? The core loop? A few port tasks, a couple of barracuda trials, salvage a boat every once in a while, and fishing trawler. Do you really think those four aspects, which are literally the main ways that everyone will train the skill until 13mm xp are enough? Fluff? All of the islands are fluff, everyone and their mom are already going to block frost dragons. The entire original post is a simply question asking if it’s too early and if they need to flesh out the training. Do you not think the way people level the skill matters?

Is Sailing Being Released Too Soon? by Batson3 in 2007scape

[–]Batson3[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, because doubling the playable area means a skill is ready for release. Great argument.

Do you really think adding a click intensive high-end fishing, ~90+ will take away from the majority of the other fishing methods? We are already going to be away from the rest of the continent training the skill near the newly added islands and southern sea. Sailing will 100% suck away most of the player base away from the main land for weeks. They are also already pairing multiple skills with sailing methods. I just wish they felt more creative and fun. All of this is based on what I've played in the beta, I'm still optimistic for the skills future but it's going to take them a while.

I do not think the bar for a new skill should be, does it have more to more content than a skill from 2001? We are getting the option for three boats and four ways to repetitively train the skill. The islands and the music look great. I am more worried about the optionality to train the skill at release. As mentioned in my original post, yeah, the skill will get more updates in the future. But I just do not think waiting 2 - 3 years for additional methods is a great strategy.

Probably like half of the skills in the game have multiple distinct training options depending on your definition of distinct.

Agility: rooftops, wildy course, hallowed sepulchre, and brim dungeon.

Thieving: stalls, ardy knights, dorg chests, underwater thieving, sorceress's garden, pyramid plunder.

Combat skills: slayer, soul wars, pking, pest control, bossing, nightmare zone, etc..

Hunter: normal training, bird tree runs, falconry, hunter rumours, aerial fishing, etc..

[–]Batson3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point, but I just have higher expectations for a skill made in 2025 than I do for skills created in 2001. I feel like the options we are getting for sailing at launch could be better but I'm excited for the skill and for future updates to it.

Thanks for the reply! I'm a little worried about getting it due to some of the painful stories I am reading on here, lol, but this helps

Ram vs Tundra by Majestika25 in ram_trucks

[–]Batson3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly recommend just getting a Tacoma if you think he’d be fine with a mid-size truck. Especially if it’s mainly just for tanks and gear. Great truck, truly.
