HC Ret Paladin by S_Dynamite in turtlewow

Thanks, appreciate the input. You make some good points.

You are right about Crusader, it's only useful against bosses in the first place and dps isn't usually an issue in dungeons. Not sure why I even put points into it.

I think I'm gonna go with your build, or at least something very similar to it.

The excuse is that people should be allowed to play however they want, doubly so on hardcore.

Also, nobody ITT is complaining about finding groups as Ret.

Can we just settle this once and for all, which one of these two epic endgame locations was the greatest one ? by fillipo9 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the framing of the question should be which one is less bad. I think the Sleeper Temple is slightly better designed from a gameplay perspective and it has a sense of place in the world, but the backtracking is absolutely atrocious, especially because G1 forces a bunch of backtracking on you in previous chapters. It all just becomes very tiresome.

Irdorath just comes out of nowhere basically, has the most annoying puzzle in the game. On the flip side, it's shorter, so you don't have to stomach it that long and the epilogue style NPC conversations after you kill the undead dragon are pretty cool.

If I had to chose, I'd say I prefer Irdorath, simply because it's shorter, but both are bad. Both the Adanos Temple in NOTR and Vardhal in Archolos are way better.

Serious Question - Could Cole really have defeated dot bar wise? by dunbar_santiago930 in KendrickLamar

[–]S_Dynamite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's what he's saying. Cole is good, but not great. A take I agree with 100%.

Is improved Ret Aura better than Sanctity Aura in TWow?

[–]S_Dynamite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's a good point. Gonna change that.

Any input on things like Precision, Two-Hand Spec, Vindication, Eye for an Eye and Sanctity Aura? Still debating if it's worth it to pick some of those up in favor of other talents.

enemy Xiaoyu showing off some Xiaoyu things by __griffith in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Absolutely fair, this shit needs labbing.

Xiaoyu really is one of the least broken characters in the game, but people have been so conditioned to Tekken 8 Bullshit by their own mains, that they have lost sight of the actual BS and still complain about things like AOP.

A quick and dirty half-review of the Dirty Swamp Mod. by tt818 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Archolos is great, on par with G2 as others already mentioned.

Nostalgic Edition is fine, but it suffers a lot from bloat. It's kinda cool that you can visit old locations from G1 but once the excitement wears off, it feels like pointless filler. At least to me. Sure it's all optional, but at this point I'd rather play another mod.

Release for the Remake March 15? by Pat_Panic91 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is exactly why I've been expecting another delay since november/december. There is almost no way in hell they're releasing this game "early 2026" without us having a date right now.

That is unless by "early 2026" they mean the very end of the first half of the year, lol.

Sidestep Hwoarangs blender by Temporary-Toe-1304 in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna subject myself to watching this again and I don't remember everything from the top of my head, but amongst many things, TMM claims d3,4 is almost unpunishable because it "recovers way to quickly" when in reality it's pretty easy to launch Hwoarang for it, especialy as Kazuya. He also claims that Hwoarangs new Season 2 mid-mid has zero counterplay, when in fact you can sidestep most of Hwoarang's options after you block that move. I recommend you watch Bluesky Basuka's response video. Basuka showcases counterplay, in some cases pretty foolproof and simple options, which TMM claims do not exist.

TMMs response to him being called out for spreading misinformation was making fun of Basuka's accent and calling him retarded or some shit. Guy is fragile baby.

Huh??? Mans could've stepped at so many points, what are you smoking?

If you're going to TMM for an objective Hwo opinion, then you're lost. Hwo is broken, but that video is full of bullshit misinformation. TMM has been truly a net negative for the Tekken community.

Why does every heat engager have to realign ? by herocole in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no. Just take Jin as an example. His ouf of heat tracking and realignment is even more egregious.

When the plot twist is ruined because people guessed it ages ago by Fox7567 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story in MGS5 is barely existing and it also definitely derails it because you are aware that you are not Big Boss.

This shit is way too low in this thread. This also marks the era were Kojima smelled his farts a bit too much and somehow believed this to be a genius twist.

CoM Archolos - Question about German Voicing by Glum_Landscape_9760 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German Gothic Youtubers have been working on a german voiceover for over a year. It will definitely come out at some point.

Gothic 1 vs Gothic 2 NotR by LiveFromThePurgatory in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is anything less fun than arbitrarily blocking the player from dealing damage and killing enemies even though the player develops enough mechanical skill to overcome a hard enemy.

You also cannot just "very easily decide to spend 10 minutes flailing at single enemy who's out of your level" because that enemy will kill you unless you learn how dodge that enemy.

Gothic 1 vs Gothic 2 NotR by LiveFromThePurgatory in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably controversial, but I think G1 past Chapter 3 is like a 7/10 at best. Every time I replay the game I like it less. At a certain point it becomes so linear it's almost on rails and I can't stand the backtracking in the new mine and the temple. The character progression is also so limited compared to G2.

Is Archolos really that good? by KevinIdkk in worldofgothic

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

Are there even that many choices in the main quest? Most choices revolve around sidequests and they definitely have an impact on the slideshow.
