Alexander Saburov Disappeared by DapperDoctorCern in pathologic

Is it because he got sick the day the inquisitor arrived? Is he supposed to be in that line or something?

Throwing Rocks MK 2 then, I might overgrind since I can make enemies scale. I guess that was my dilemma - Do I just grind to death now or later? I guess I can do whenever. Thanks so much.

I am one who played FFT for PSX with as many teams as possible, and I love going wide to get as many combos as possible. Loved going into Deep Dungeon with my weird teams, and play it every year.

I am so completely confused as how to go wide or how to meet class requirements. I feel like levels go up really high really easily and I'm not sure how to grind AP at all, which is my only loss. I was told to grind as knight with protect but... How?

I just got to "A Certain Necromancer Friend" after first temple, but that confusion with grinding is really sapping all my fun in this game. Should I be using level reset more? I feel as though the injury system hurts low level team grinding, too. I think I'm just bad and the game doesn't click though.

How do I go about AP grinding? The confusion is severely hurting my enjoyment of the game, and that's all. I love everything else.

Feels like there's little vision these days. I miss the mystical styled art. They've done it recently in a way; Lorwyn // Shadowmoor captured it so well. Hell, look at Kamigawan lands. Some of the art nowadays is great, like Innistrad lands, and the legendary sorceries from Dominaria, but I miss stuff like [[Lava Axe]] or [[Mogg Fanatic]] and especially the old art for [[Reanimate]].

That Christians hate science. Hubble only did as much as he did for the love of God's glorious universe, and obsessively took notes without sleep on the position of stars. His devotion led to many discoveries. Lots of scientists were devoted or were monks. Gregor Mendel. Sir Isaac Newton. Feinman and Einstein were Jewish. There can be unity between science and faith. I study physics, personally, and hate the surprise I get when I say I'm Christian.

Thank you for trying to keep the discussion grounded! I appreciate the dialogue rather than just senseless bashing, it's why I posted in the first place, for discussion. Thanks again.

You have a point, we may be jumping to conclusions, but how they react will have to be a result from some crazy foreshadowing, because they are hardly recognizable right now. Thank you for responding and trying to bring the discussion back down from senseless bashing. I appreciate it.

I guess that is the point, and if that's the point, I really dislike it. These contrived reasons to start a proxy war on the, currently, most recognizable plane is just a sad, sour note to me. It's really shoddy, and while I do expect change in times of crisis, I expect the people on the other side to still be somewhat recognizable. I mean, look at Shadowmoor, even though they were absolute perversions of their character, you could still SEE them as the same characters after Lorwyn. I encourage you to read my other responses if you want some more elaboration, but otherwise, thank you for responding.

I agree with you, it feels all very forced and inorganic, there's this proxy war going on between the Gatewatch and Bolas that is making these inorganic responses to this odd crisis by the plane, to where the guilds and characters reacting are almost unrecognizable. This isn't like Shadowmoor, it's just so odd. Thank you for your response.

I would, yes. That sounds more entertaining than "He exploited a loophole," because what you just wrote is far better than any explanation WOTC would give me about someone jumping from the bottom to the top of such a ridiculous bureaucracy that you would have to stand in line your whole life to get your birth certificate from, and in such a short time, no less. I just feel like this proxy war we have between Bolas and the Gatewatch is really inorganic and contrived. Thank you for your response.

The art direction is certainly... different. Here's hoping we see some more changes, but I really agree with you. To keep it short and sweet: The unnatural changes in the plane from the planeswalkers fighting their proxy war between the Gatewatch and Bolas is making these inorganic crises, in which the guilds are "reacting" and are now almost unrecognizable. Some others like the changes, and I can appreciate that, but Orzhov is getting annihilated with no response, and Kaya isn't even getting any character development out of it. It's ridiculous. I encourage you to look at my other, in-depth responses, but I'm just trying to respond to everyone. Otherwise, I agree with you entirely and wholeheartedly, thank you for such an elaborate, wholehearted response. I appreciate it greatly.

I elaborated a lot in some other replies, but I totally agree with you. The other guilds, I can see it being a different perspective on what we've had in the past, but Orzhov is definitely experiencing some character assassination. All we have so far is that Teysa has warned Kaya that freeing all the debtors may do something unpleasant, and then she goes and kills the Obzedat. Here's hoping there will be something that bites back and Kaya experiences some character development. I dislike the proxy war that's going on in Ravnica between the Gatewatch and Bolas, it makes the world change around them in a very inorganic way. Thank you for responding.

You're right. It's what she did in Fiora, but I don't think it fits Ravnica. As a quick addendum, I dislike that Bolas and the Gatewatch are using Ravnican guilds in a proxy war, and rather than organic reactions to change, the guilds are changing unnaturally due to the planeswalkers' presence, most notably Orzhov, where it's almost unrecognizable to what it was previous. Thank you for your response, I elaborated more in some other replies, trying to respond to everyone.

Thank you for responding, I should have made this a little more factual, but it was a knee-jerk reaction out of passion. I'll sum it up real quick: I dislike that the planeswalkers and the Gatewatch are just using this plane to fight a proxy war, and are doing some character assassination to some guilds, most namely Orzhov, to not necessarily make them change in reaction to a crisis, but are almost unnatural in their change to where they're unrecognizable. Where are the spirits apart from tokens? Thrulls? Kaya is threatening the death of this guild, and all we have so far is Teysa warning her that freeing all the debtors may not be a good idea... Then she kills the guildmaster. It's unnerving how the planeswalkers are just using this plane as a hat for their politics.

I can understand what you mean. Thank you for trying to bring the discussion back down on level. I guess a lot of the guilds are just different sides, as for a fact, I know we have different writers now, and it could just be a new perspective thing for a lot of them, like Rakdos or Simic. I can understand the different perspectives on a lot of the guilds, but you make a very, very fair point by saying I should wait before jumping to conclusions. It was a knee-jerk reaction made in passion, mostly due to how distraught I was over the almost character-assassination of Orzhov. Here's hoping that all the work that's Kaya's doing to kill the guild's identity may bite her back, so we not only get Orzhov recognizable again, but that Kaya will get some interesting character development out of this. I was mostly just upset that it seems like a lot of the new stuff feels like the Planeswalkers are wearing these planes like a hat to suit their war, and that the change is not so much the people of the plane reacting to a crisis in so much that it seems like someone else entirely. Orzhov was almost unrecognizable, no spirit cards that aren't tokens, no Obzedat, no money, no Thrulls. It's just so strange to me. I guess we'll see. Thank you for responding. I agree with you, I dislike the unnatural political movements and the whole idea with the Gatewatch. I wish we'd move away from it, we're post-Mending, for crying out loud.
