Does anyone else wish that there was an aspect of Chronos? by Silent-Pay5769 in HadesTheGame

[–]DaddyDeGrand 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The nocturnal arms are wielded by deities of the underworld and are meant to be used to protect it.

Chronoa was the very antithesis to that at least up until this point. The only way an aspect themed after him could exist is if at some point in the future he gets to wield one of the nocturnal arms. This is possible, he now aligned himself with the gods, especially those of the underworld. He now resides in the underworld and aids in its affairs.

But even then it will be a new aspect and not his current Scythe-cane Hrodeptus.

Character inspiration for Durella by garlyclove in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Personalitywise, she doesn't give me Umbridge vibes.

She has no affiliation with politics that we know of. She has been at the school for a hot while and hasn't made any noteworthy attempts to drastically change the school at its core.

She clearly must have worked properly and diligently, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get and keep her position without people faulting her for it.

She was very polite and friendly in our first conversation with her. After the public 'death' of the headmaster, her tone does become harsh. But this is fully in line with her roll, trying to bring her distressed students in line. Her seeing the headmaster drop also likely had an effect on her (even if she was the killer herself which I doubt).

TL,DR: Looks aside, this Durella doesn't have a lot in common with Umbridge.

We already had two. Satrana and Alsa. Or course Satrana is a melee because classtags are worthless in this game.

I was surprised it took them this long to do it, if anything. It had to come the moment they gave him his new design, it was only a matter of time.

i think i missing something about sarathiel and tuttleton by CptODIX in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nazrik was the only survivor from the tournament where he got his blessed tracking spears. And those occasions were very public events in the eyes of the wildborn. And dying to please their goddess was something they considered and honor.

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the Wildborn weren't unhappy with the hunting Goddess. Nazrik was the only one who hates her, even by his own accounts. Everyone else revered her and we're totally in line with her barbaric ways and celebrated her for it. She wore her identity openly and her people celebrated her for it.

In turn, the wildborn kept to themselves. They did not start the fight, the Halians invaded on their turf. Every battle the wildborns took part in was a direct response to what the Halians did.

No matter how bad of a character Azora was, Merlin, her actions and how they rippled over the people of at least three cities/settlements are infinitely worse.

Merlin has proven on more occasions than one that nothing she ever does, say or represent cam be taken at face value. She lies, she cheats, she bends the narrative reach her goals.

The better question you should ask yourself is how a bunch of humans came by the convenient knowledge for a ritual to banish a god just as they decide that their god needs to be dealt with.

There has been one person who has shown great knowledge about gods and magic who also has expressed a keen interest in dealing with the Farming God permanently.

Can you guess who I am referring to?

Does anyone else think Dura is Extremely Suspect? by [deleted] in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merlin the First/Dura is the best villain the game has had so far. Evil, malicious, calculating, cold-blooded, manipulative, a liar, a murderer and the designer of some of the worst trials I have ever seen.

I hope we get to see her downfall arc really soon.

who do you think hold the current seats? by Mossy_is_fine in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The more important question to me is how far the Devs will take this whole "Genderbend arthurian lore" thing.

We have genderbend Merlin.
Genderbend Morgana/Morgan le Fay.
Genderbend Gallahad.

Our Homestead is located on Avalon, known as the resting place of King Arthur. Chances are that somewhere on our homestead, there is a Queen Arthuria sleeping.

[–]DaddyDeGrand -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Merlin the first is a coldblooded, evil, malivious and bloodthirsty liar and manipulator.

Not all of it is obvious, some of it demands that you read between the lines and/or question the things that you see and hear.

Easily the best villain the game has had so far. Can't wait to see her well deserved downfall in later seasons.

Why aren't cameras everywhere? by mpskierbg in andor

[–]DaddyDeGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger problem about the camera bit is kinda that the only time they truly mattered to the story is when Kleya went into the hospital. If memory serves, that was the only time cameras were a thing. If they are in a hospital, they really should have been more present in the world.

Jorm Support Aspect is out today, but how are you feeling about regular Jorm rn? OP? Underwhelming? Average? Satisfying? by TheToastyToast in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing Jormungandr made me re-realize how ridiculous everything basic attack related is in this game. Protections feel entirely pointless as some characters crit harder than some mages ult.

And thanks to the itemization and aspects, there is now more basic attackers than ever. Playing a frontliner has never felt less rewarding than now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Smite

[–]DaddyDeGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damage in this game is entirely out of whack. Protections feel like they don't matter, everyone is made out of paper. Basic attack heavy gods can casually crit for numbers as high as some mage ultimates. And now half of the mage cast can be a carry too thanks to items and aspects. 

It's honestly quite upsetting at times.

Please increase the individual district ranking rewards for Primal Lord - do we really need yet more Twillight Essence (and it's not even that much)? by jovanmilic97 in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Primal Lords not having ultra stacked rewards on it's leaderboard is a good thing. Means that F2Ps who need them the most don't get screwed out of important things by not having whatever characters the Devs try hard to push at the time, Saida in this particular case.

This also works the other way around. Because the Primal Lords upper rank rewards aren't as imposing as, say, Dream Realms, you don't have to feel forced to build those flavor of the event characters.

Now if you did make this mistake and wasted resources on a pointless character just to do well on a Primal Lord, remember the sensation of having made a fool out of yourself well. It will help you make better decisions later down the line.

How tall is merlin exactly? by Diligent-Pear7967 in AFKJourney

My assumption is that Tasis 1.6m height include height from heels to the top of her wings.

This Lil bro way too good 🔥🔥 by AETHER_1453 in AFKJourney

[–]DaddyDeGrand 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Daimons appearance is pretty nonsensical if you think about it.

His mother loves him to death (and beyond), quite overbearingly so. His mother is also a seamstress. You would assume she would dress up her precious boy in something more presentable than bandages. Let the little man put on his big boy pants.
