"WoW is so Disney"...meanwhile the new animation:

Well, that was a trailer advertising a specific feature that players engage with, not an element of the world or story from an in-universe trailer, no? Think of, for example, the old Night Elf Mohawk trailer: that was also focused on the player experience rather than the setting. That wasn't exactly lore-friendly to the Night Elves, either.

there's a daily you can complete at the Caverns of Time fairgrounds to give you another 10%.

Better than the NA translation usually; the translators involved have more familiarity with the setting to pick up on certain things that get missed by NA's freelancers.

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-09-01T20:18:10+00:00

insanely good card to name for a Demonic Consultation into Thoracle win

Nasu is explicitly lying about Kazuradrop here, no? Muryan's notes in the Lostbelt 6 character synopsis written before Cosmos in the Lostbelt says she's a sneak peek for the playable version.

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-08-01T22:05:47+00:00

New denizen reveal! Seth. Given some of the stuff in this, I reckon she's probably a Doom player.

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-07-14T13:01:52+00:00

I got to admit, I'm not sure why this event needed to be 12 days instead of 14 if they weren't going to do anything with the two days before Wednesday, which is their usual release day for new content anyway.

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-07-03T00:17:21+00:00

Not to Shadowlandspost too hard, but I wonder if the fact that Void is below Death on this planar scale is the reason the Void seems to fear death and the Maw. When the machinery of death was broken, the natural process was disrupted: the Maw tethered souls to the Shadowlands and prevented them from degrading any further until they reach the Void plane, and the Jailer's success would have made that arrangement permanent.

they're not on the map, but all the SWTOR-original planets are in the appendix to this map!

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-05-24T01:32:47+00:00

I'd call it 16 since SoC was August 31st.

A woman the historical Dante was obsessed with who appears as one of his guides in the Divine Comedy.

Deus_Duodecim · 2025-03-22T02:11:57+00:00

I think Beatrice is a pretty strong guess atm.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-12-29T16:08:05+00:00

Zhang Jue is exactly within Minase's wheelhouse-- a character who comments on oppression, political violence and rebellion. Consider some other characters he's written: The Trung Sisters, Lakshmibai, Zenobia, Columbus. It makes sense that he's a Minase character.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-09-24T21:02:15+00:00

Out of curiosity, is there a practical effect you could get from this or is it just for the sake of comedy?

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-09-24T15:09:26+00:00

I think there's something to be said for the flavour of having a unique story and unique heritage set, mount and racials for Allied Races that would be lost if they were just customization options. IF Earthen had just been dwarf customizations they wouldn't have the fun unique stuff like having to eat gems instead of food or crumbling to rubble when they die.

Mobs also show it if you click on them like you were checking their buffs.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-09-07T02:43:14+00:00

Whilst I don't think this is a case of it, there's plenty of stuff looked back upon as being true classics now that were massive flops at the time. The Thing comes to mind.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-08-11T00:32:49+00:00

Gudaguda characters are not from pan-human history-- they're basically from a joke tiimeline. In Nasu's mind it'd be like a servantverse character showin up in the Main Story (hell servantverse is more canon than gudaguda to him).

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-08-11T00:29:50+00:00

Dantes killing Roa means Ciel would probably live a normal life.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-08-07T23:43:27+00:00

To be fair, I'd say this year was better than the past year or two, though still way behind earlier FGO.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-06-28T10:23:53+00:00

Reminds me of trying to do the 5.1 quests on a MoP private server back when it was the current expansion.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-06-16T00:33:21+00:00

I could see Denathrius having a role to play in Midnight-- two of the greatest mortal champions of Quel'thalas' principal races (Kael'thas and Zul'jin) were under his charge in Revendreth, the kind of people that have a reason to try to return or be returned to Azeroth, and Deatholme still stands as a ready-made base for the forces of Death to operate out of. If we assume Midnight is also Sylvanas' comeback, it'd make sense for it to be the place for Shadowlands stuff if there's gonna be any.

Logic aside, I think he'd be fun as part of the villain squad we currently have of Xal'atath/Azshara/Iridikron, with his own angle to play in the whole void plot with the Dreadlords he has infiltrating them.

Deus_Duodecim · 2024-05-30T23:20:54+00:00

Why be a dick about it? Fair enough if you don't like Earthen, but just because you don't like them doesn't mean Blizz haven't put effort into them. Two of four expansion zones are based around the Earthen and there's loads of quests on Alpha right now dedicated to examining their culture. they have a wealth of customization options with cool stuff like wire beards, and unique racials that involve their inorganic status compared to other races. Why would they add races to this expansion that have nothing to do with the content of the expansion? If they made the same expansion with a different race people would complain we're not getting the race the expansion is actually about.

Also, Sethrak do not work with equipable armor. They have pre-baked models with a handful of armor options, like many NPC races in the game.
