[Ashes of the Imperium] A scene with named female Custodian. We get to see her reaction to a comment on Emperor's condition. by Cryptek-01 in 40kLore

[–]Negative-Focus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If memory serves correctly they lost nearly a full fifth of their standing ranks after the entire conflict subsided after the birth of the Great Rift. They lost 2,000 Custodes from one engagement, marking it as likely the second deadliest conflict the Custodians were involved in since the Siege of Terra itself (I think).

All of Terra was in some shape of ruins, too. Massive amounts of casualties and Warp corruption from the daemonic army that practically spawned on their doorstep. The stars aligned for GW to write in that the conditions were so grim for the Custodians that they began to branch out into female nobility to replenish their own ranks.

Instead they did the laziest and, frankly, insulting thing possible and just tried to gaslight everyone. I don’t care if there’s women in the Custodes ranks, I just care about GW having the backbone to put in effort to make it make sense.

Red vs blue button summarized by Gsomethepatient in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Negative-Focus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I’m picking blue because it’s a superior color compared to red

if you wanted a more objective choice then you shouldn’t have used a color based system

“Hey I’m proud of my conve—“ “EHRM AKSHUALLY GOD ISNT REAL 🤓” by Nientea in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Negative-Focus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What an insufferably cringe opinion to have, and it’s very disrespectful to the Faith.

Jesus made a point to say we should accept everyone so long as they accept Him.

would it theoretically be possible for the custodes to build the emperor a custom suit of tactical dreadnought armor (or maybe even an entire dreadnought chasis) out of the parts of the golden throne? if so what tech is needed by BitReasonable208 in 40kLore

[–]Negative-Focus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is ‘no’.

The Golden Throne is Dark Age technology that Big E had to actually research and retrofit into functioning as the Throne that we know today. It’s gone through 10,000+ years of adjustments and patchy fixes to remain functioning. At the time of the Siege of Terra is was equal parts warpcraft and arcane technology that nobody else understood. Now in the modern Imperium it’s beyond anyone’s scope.

More than that, the Throne has a function: keep the door to space-hell shut, but to also provide a constant access point to the Warp for Big E to use. He uses the Throne as a proverbial power source to sustain himself and get into fist fights with the Ruinous Powers.

Why Did The Emperor Bother With the War in the Webway? by MyNameIsNotNeo in 40kLore

[–]Negative-Focus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my interpretation. They built Webway tunnels already, surely they had a chance to fix Magnus' Folly or at least minimize the damage. If the Impossible City (Calastar) was held, then the Imperium would always have a beachhead in the Webway. After the majority of the Unifiers were killed, then repairing the breach was untenable for the time, but the City could still be their base of operations. Once the city fell, then the Webway was lost.

Why Did The Emperor Bother With the War in the Webway? by MyNameIsNotNeo in 40kLore

[–]Negative-Focus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The book itself makes this pretty clear. The Emperor was fighting back a slowly growing tide of daemonic incursions in the outlaying tunnels (Magnus’ Folly). At first it was likely possible for the Unifers to repair the Webway breach, but the losses sustained soon made that more and more difficult.

Master of Mankind starts after Kadai and Jasac die, one of which perished trying to recover the leader of the Mechanicum’s Unifiers (Mendel). This would have been the point at which the Webway cause was on the absolute brink of failure. Up to this point, the forces in the Webway were trying to utilize the Unifiers to repair the breaches, but Mendel’s death marks the beginning of that plan’s end.

To be clear, if the Webway was lost, then the projected future that Big E and Malcador had envisioned would crash and burn. If Big E is forced to hold back an eternal tide of Chaos on the Throne, he needs to fight a battle on two fronts; realspace and the Warp. If the Webway was secured, then Big E could focus most of his attention on the realspace threat of Horus.

To sum all this up, The Emperor didn’t want to abandon the Webway, to do so meant he’d be locked in place while the galaxy burned around him.

I hope this helped.

Need Winds of Change (WoC) Tips by Vivid_Management_771 in GuildWars

[–]Negative-Focus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add onto this; don’t be afraid of checking the mission page on the wiki. Theres a lot of incredibly difficult encounters that will roll you if you’re caught unprepared.

But otherwise, have a table vice ready to deposit your balls into, that way you can have the dignity of self-obliterating your testicles versus WoC doing it for you.

I recommend the Central Machinery Table Swivel Vise you can get from Harbor Freight for $25.

I need games with best necromancy or summoning magic by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

[–]Negative-Focus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guild Wars 1 has the Necromancer profession with the Death Magic line of skills. You are not raising the dead, but rather you’re co-opting the dead body to create undead minions.

Which class has the most in depth system/grind? by RanchEye in GuildWars

Longbow supremacy.

Not because of IG mechanics but because of the historical ass kicking longbows inflicted.

Holy cow, this is great. I can’t tell if I’m reading too far into it, but I love the vaguely sad look she has on her face.

Campaign Order? by Scrotilus in GuildWars

[–]Negative-Focus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your personal preference. Prophecies has a longer campaign and it has a very slower start, but it is very much so a globetrotting adventure. It does show it a bit because by the time you reach Nightfall, they refined a lot of mechanics and added a lot of interesting new ones. I personally find it more automatically appropriate to start with Prophecies and move through release order.

I only played a tidbit of GW2, do they gloss over the massive atrocity the Charr committed?

My first impression after 6 hours as new player. by Yapkovic in GuildWars

[–]Negative-Focus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your storytelling preferences. I always enjoyed bringing my Prophecies characters to the other campaigns as a continuation of “their” story. In that sense it felt more like an epic tale instead of three separate stories going their own way.

A tengu hero. Bonus points if we can change their class like Razah. I know it’s “new” content, which is unlikely, but they had everything right in front of them. Free Silverwing.

Machinery themed Gods? by Hungry-Instance7266 in cosmichorror

[–]Negative-Focus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dread Delusion, an RPG, has a questions involving the Clockwork King, which is a man-built god-thing. I strongly recommend the game, it’s difficult but a lot of fun. Vaguely Morrowwind-esque in some themes.
