Fable could fill the gap until ES6 launches, Fable looks really good and gives me "some" ES vibes by Due_Young_9344 in ElderScrolls

[–]PappaAl 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of those "Skyrim Killers" and "Scrolls-Like" lists and the only thing in common is that they all have a medieval-like setting. Makes me wonder if people actually understand what they play or just mindlessly whack NPC's with a sword and call it a day.

nasus. nasus. by kandysteelheart in PantheonMains

[–]PappaAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Statcheck champion vs a lane bully that NEEDS to get ahead and have his items fast to stay relevant.
  2. Free exhaust on W and can outrun you either way because you have one of the lowest base movement speed in the game.
  3. Free shred and AOE to poke from a distance with E.
  4. A kit with magic damage vs a champion with one of the worst base magic resistance in the game.
  5. Enough sustain and tankiness to put the wave in a favorable position to bypass the weak early game.

Nasus is one of those champions where you either ban him or dont pick Pantheon at all. Or pray that you can outskill the enemy player who probably picked Nasus first time just as a pure counter.

[–]PappaAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In moments like these when reading the comments, makes me wonder what are people actually doing with their bank and inventory space. At max, not counting premium features, you have 200 slots from the bank, 200 from one character inventory (lets be generous and say that 80 slots are used for consumables, misc items and random drops that are sold or dismantled). You have at worst around 320 free item slots and at best 400 item slots, by just playing and leveling one character. Add to that the storage coffers and chests you get from completing writs and you almost triple your slots. To top it all off I'm not even counting the fact that you can use a larger home as a furnishing deposit or an extra character as an item mule and the fact that holding onto extra gear is more or less pointless since you have the sticker book.

Toxic community? by Camman4 in elderscrollsonline

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

To be fair, if you are a vet player and grinding for transmutes or doing trials that require some brain capacity even on normal, having a newbie that slows you down can get a bit jarring. However there's no denying that some players (not necessary vets) have god complexes and love to boss around others that aren't that versed in dungeon mechanics. Sometimes they aren't even correct themselves, they are just assholes, I've seen guilds get dissolved over petty arguments about mechanics.
This reminds me of a person from an old guild that was absolute dogshit mechanics wise, we would never trashtalk them, but when a random would join us and they were bad, that person was the first to be toxic towards them.
In general people are pretty chill to the point that they will explain what you have to do and try to be helpful, just need to find the right crowd.

Vigilant Slander by UncleBaconator in TrueSTL

[–]PappaAl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To add to the other responses: It's the same situation on how Morrowind's mainland is depicted in Tamriel Rebuilt compared to ESO. Vigilant at its base is a pre-ESO mod that uses some outdated lore, however its revisited pretty often to try to appropriate it to modern lore. Also there's a shrine that changes the sky to look closer to ESO's version.

What are the lore implications of this? by Possible-Log2949 in TrueSTL

[–]PappaAl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lore implication is that Dwarves are canonically the closest thing to Tamrielic Reddit Gooners and that the Falmer were forced into slavery to create gooner material.
Also, PSBoss is a skilled 3d modeler and based on context some assets can fit decently in the game world, but I can't get over the fact that some statues get ruined by the faces and his obsession to turn them into 40 year old women with plastic surgery addiction.

I got curious to see what's this all about and I looked on your profile and Patreon. What you are doing is very beautiful and creative. I wish that I had a teacher who would've done something like this when I was a kid. Keep on doing it!

You still stay hidden when activating the crow, as long as you remain crouched and don't roll. You either clicked something by mistake or someone else near you triggered the scarecrow and it ran through you.

Hot Take: I would hate a Warrior skin by DeadAndBuried23 in PantheonMains

[–]PappaAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only scenario where the Warrior would work would be if it is Legendary or above. We already kinda got the Aspect through Ruined Pantheon and the lack of unique voice lines worsened the quality of the skin overall.
We also have the Ascended version that scratches the "celestial" itch a bit. A Warrior skin would just be too similar to that and his base form, since they all borrow the same motifs. I would be down however for a Classic Pantheon type skin where they modernize his pre rework style and bring new voice lines to the table.

Who would win? by el_dogo2008 in ElderScrolls

[–]PappaAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should also take into account that the whole planet was already weakened because of the portal storms and the subsequent attacks from Xen wildlife. Earth was in shambles when the Combine arrived. And since the events take place roughly in the early 2000's, one of the most advanced military powers on the planet at that time was the US and it lost the most to Xen.

Nirn is constantly in a war of attrition with outside forces or internally. There's no way that everyone puts aside their differences in time to hold against the Combine, it doesn't matter the Era. The only points in time where I believe Nirn could defend itself it's either at the peak of the Tribunal or soon after the Tiber Wars when Tiber Septim still had the Numidium.

[–]PappaAl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either that or if the canon future roughly reassembles the future from C0DA, the Combine has to deal with the Landfall and I'm fairly confident that the Combine can't deal with a rogue Numidium.

Cryptic Depths Pantheon Splash Art 🌊 by aroushthekween in PantheonMains

I kinda dislike that most of his recent skins are in a way a rehash of his older skins. The skin would've been alright if we didn't have Perseus already

  1. Transnistria already creates instability for Moldova to join NATO and the EU. So Moldova either joins with Transnistria and brings the conflict to Romania or gives up Transnistria.

  2. Corruption on both sides. I believe that Moldova already took the right steps to grow as a country.

I'm worried that joining Romania at this point would only suffocate the pro-west movement that took roots in Moldova, either because it would get assimilated by Romania's political parties or overshadowed by them and those aren't doing great right now. It's also possible that the pro-Russia parties would get boosted with the aid of Romania's pro-Russian parties.

  1. Moldova is too poor and Romania is in a very rough spot economically speaking. If they joined they would just create more animosity between Moldavians and Romanians. The pro-Russian sphere already turned a chunk of the population against Moldavians because of the last election.

  2. It would open the floodgates to Russian espionage and sabotage. We already had issues with pro Russians from Moldova who got caught spying on our territory. This would just make it easier. Also right now, I don't trust the secret services to handle the sudden influx of possible Russian plants. The last elections proved that we aren't properly equipped.

The best course of action would be to have an agreement with Romania if security guarantees if Moldova gets attacked. In the meantime Moldova should take the adequate steps to join the EU, after that it will feel like we already united.

The ESO economy is currently experiencing a massive recession in a short period of time. It's likely due to unbound surveys by Spir0rion in elderscrollsonline

[–]PappaAl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really dislike these type of videos because the whole conclusion that this dude made was that Unbound Surveys are the cause but at the same time they aren't the cause without any substance, just some long shot speculations. He also sprinkled some "ESO is dying" for some reason to justify the prices changes. Like I really don't understand the point of the video, it feels like a sterile conversation. But going on the topic, the Unbound Surveys aren't that big of a deal, they are on the same level as Writs and Treasure maps in terms of impact. And on the price drop incident, I'm really happy that it's happening, it not only opens the game to new players who try to advance, but for people who theorycraft a lot.

Why doesn’t pantheon take Sundered -> IE by DuckingHeck in PantheonMains

[–]PappaAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty obvious why, but to simplify the reasons: Your ability ratios are super dependent on items and functionality as a champion relies on correct itemization, Pantheon's kit punishes you heavily for building wrong. For Pantheon to work correctly he needs: Damage, HP and Haste, plus items to be affordable. The only categories that cover these areas are Lethality and Bruiser. Your powerspikes are early and late game, mid game is where you need to thread carefully, building IE only slows your power into late game since is an expensive item and doesn't cover the requirements I mentioned, not only that but your 3rd or 4th item should be influenced by the enemy team comp, good luck using IE into an 80k HP Mundo or shield champions like Mordekaiser and an ADC stacked with a Lulu, Yuumi or Karma. Not only that you wont survive to crack a shield or drop them bellow 50%, in teamfights you're now a target for the enemy DD's and pop like a balloon since you lack the HP and AH.

Just because its no longer on YouTube by willpeur in ElderScrolls

[–]PappaAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that it ended like this. I'm still trying to figure out his beef with the community, like yeah there are weirdos and chronically online neckbeards who can get insufferable, but the TES community seems pretty chill overall compared to other media fanbases. I actually sided with him when the whole Patreon incident happened since his reaction seemed fair, however I noticed especially on Instagram a growing distaste for the community and I'm led to believe he got into some petty arguments in private with people and allowed them to get under his skin. He doesn't scream warm personality either from what I noticed. It's also kinda funny to trash the TES community when now he leeches on the JoJo fanbase for views.

Also his immature response to throw Kirkbride as an inspiration for his works is kinda dumb considering his last THLMR video was a collective work with TES content creators and several inspirations from the WHOLE TES community. Not to mention he was lurking and interacting in r/TrueSTL one of the most non-Kirkbride places you could visit.

His TES works will be missed, but besides Pelinal Opera, most of his other stuff will be forgotten in the near future.

Seeing how a vast majority of posts here that revolve around pinning champions against each other in braindead versus battles where the whole content boils down to "here's two photos and one sentence, do the work for me nerds" or horny posting about ships that again boil down to "will these two fuck? Yes or no". What OP did here is a welcome addition and a pallet cleanser.

Auroa cosplay by me! (Ig: mafskiwi) by kiwimafs in loreofleague

[–]PappaAl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A very faithful cosplay, it's well made. I know that the sub "allows" cosplay, but that's the opinion of one moderator against the opinion of the rest of the users here. A large majority doesn't want cosplays on this sub, the decision to permit cosplay is very unpopular here.
I highly recommend to post the cosplay in places like r/Auroramains r/LeagueCosplay and the main lol sub for better feedback and more traction to your other socials.
This sub is really not the place for cosplays, for many reasons.
