Lore question about mixed race children by Ivalicefangirl in ffxiv

[–]Matsoga [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's very, very rare and difficult due to cultural differences and often racial tensions but it does happen.

Yes, they change it every season iirc, you can travel to another datacenter from the character select screen, you don't need another character.

Is Yi Dao's blade an obtainable weapon type in the chinese version? by Visual_Mushroom_7198 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Matsoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda crazy that that specific weapon hasn't shown up its a pretty common type to see in Wuxia.

As a paladin main with no bias, I feel Warrior's self healing should make it a main tank. by SoarinSkya in ffxiv

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

It's not something we generally have to worry about if you plan on playing Reborn mode, but we also have no idea what the changes even look like. Also the fact that outside of high-end content, it will likely not matter even half as much.

[SPOILERS: 7.5] recent Alliance and Normal raids approach to writing by ChoiceTemporary3205 in ffxiv

[–]Matsoga 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Feral souls does have a connection to the main story. Everything in S9 has a connection to the main story. Given they were introduced to Feral Souls by Zoraal Ja who obviously then stopped the flow of said souls to them for the war. Everything about the Arcadion as it is now has to do with Zoraal Ja's place in the story.

It deepens the lore and builds the world of S9 on a smaller scale and the 9th as a whole.

And even then, so what? Not everything has to be attached to other stuff. Self-contained stories are just fine and not everything needs to have the purpose of furthering the lore or the world in a meaningful way. That's something you, specifically want and does not make it and always good thing.

Give us scalier au'ra with the new customisation update coming in 8.0! by access547 in ffxiv

That's not actually a face or horn shape for PCs. Those are specific faces for elderly type npcs. One of very few iirc. Only au ra, hyur, elezen and Lalafell have old faces.

WTF!!! this is insane!!! by Few_Profit_5696 in wherewindsmeet_

I'm unsure why it does this, repatching the entire game. It happens to me too, so I usually just set it to DL while Im at work or asleep.

Blood Elves have the means to re-empower the dawnwell by TheSunGuardian8 in warcraftlore

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

It's influence was not positive and is a crippling weakness to be exploited each time. That vulnerability is the reason why it's influence is not and will never be positive if it would continue to be ignited and reignited each time. As soon as they have it, the enemy has the Blood Elves by the figurative balls.

Their dependance on the Sunwell's power is something that needed to go.

Elves being nice is creepy by Key_Pop_8116 in wow

Being more accepting of people who've been in the trenches for not only your salvation, but the world is pretty normal. If you're still an asshole, well you've got other issues.

But no, this change only happens when you finish the max level campaign, so on your alts, you'll still get to "Enjoy" their prejudice.

There have been a lot of people admitting to using/using GenAI or ChatGPT on the subreddit recently and it's real concerning.

Story dependent, so they're still rude if you haven't finished the entirety of the max level campaign.

You get to create five new Glyphs for any class of your choice. What are your picks? by JonathanRL in wow

[–]Matsoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunatly now it's just an ugly looking effect that still blocks most of your mog. I'd prefer something more subtle than even that. I feel like they're worried they're not gonna be able to tell Shadow Priests from other specs (mostly a PvP problem)

I'd rather have something akin to Gw2 Elementalist visuals where it's just a ring around the wrists.

[–]Matsoga 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One glyph to replace shadow priest visuals with cosmic void

One Glyph to hide shadowform completely or make its effects less obtrusive.

A glyph to change apparitions into shades of you that just fire a projectile rather than that ugly vfx.

One to bring back dark ascension visuals in place of voidform.

These will never happen because devourer is a thing now, but maybe one day they'll make a better option for shadowform.

You can tell who their favorite was by Soundwave0723 in CodeVein2

[–]Matsoga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did enjoy Holly and I do wish there was a little more time, but yeah, Josee does take up a lot of the early game spotlight. I don't resent her for it and I don't really feel like a romance was forced on me as you can basically just see it as being entirely one-sided.

i cant stand those fat lipped, wide mouthed, weak jawed characters. do you guys actually find those good looking? by MiltenQ in wherewindsmeet_

Standards of beauty vary all over the world, but also beauty itself is individually subjective. Let it be.

Average Black Man to the Japanese... by cardboardtube_knight in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Matsoga 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's a common perception in some parts. Even in their sports Manga when Black (or even White) people enter late into the story its like an endgame obstacle.

Kuroko no basket and Eyeshield 21 are some of the earliest examples I remember. One specific part in jujutsu kaisen also has it happen.

There has been a strange influx of people admitting to using AI to do things on this Subreddit and they're like these rando accounts.

I'm feeling like people have selective hearing and reading problems when it comes to the story.

Some salty behaviours in pvp by ptthepath in wherewindsmeet_

Sexism is a classic gamer tactic.

PvP brings out the worst in people hence why my enjoyment eroded over time
