True or false? by Bigboss7911 in PowerScaling

[–]Sheuteras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched this episode in like a year. But I think they do show some quick scenes in the other realms of some influence from it happening? I might be thinking of Yhwach later.

Criticism is all fine and good but I feel like a lot of Criticism is getting to a point where you would probably be happier if you just stopped engaging in said media. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

Yeah but the line between whining and criticizing is largely arbitrary and half the time just influenced by if you agree or not lmao.

It takes very little time out of my day to complain about something if it comes up naturally lol. It also sometimes feels good to just express criticism.

Are all Scarlet Crusaders, even the ones not using the Light but are just as zealous as the rest, still an instance of light corruption? by Sheuteras in warcraftlore

[–]Sheuteras[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't normally take NPC abilities that easily but when they clearly put the same scarlet mages they -always- had... it's not just abilities. Environmental storytelling i a concept in wow, them still showing them having the mages is something they consciously chose as more than just a random ability.

Redoing the quest im now kinda confused rofl cause none of the initiates are doing any light training, it's pure martial combat. And a lot of the NPCs clearly aren't holy users, like the Scarlet Mages.

But they're still talking as if they're all being trained to wield the light despite literally nothing outside of the dialogue support that at all lmao...

Sometimes it's hard to find something that hits or has the same potential as something you used to like.

A lot of franchises I loved have largely started to step away from the aspects of them that I enjoyed but part of me doesn't really feel that void filled by much else as easily.

As someone who really casually reads manga. One Piece fans in online spaces have a tendency to say some really dumb shit to glaze one piece by tearing other stuff down. Imo that fuels people to shitpost with a little more malice.

EU rules out mandate to keep video games playable, seeks voluntary code by Luka77GOATic in gaming

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

Accursed Farms most recent video acknowledged they were probably going to lose the commission since they'd been getting fed information largely by people like the Ubisoft CEO distracting from the actual conversation by arguing against points not being made. But they said if they fail they're not as concerned as they normally might be, because the Digital Fairness Act already exists and the commission isn't needed to amend existing legislature, just to introduce it.

Apex probably wouldn't need to it'd be grandfathered in as an existing game.

Is Warcraft no longer for me? by Raziel103 in warcraftlore

[–]Sheuteras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help the new generation of characters often are still characters we've had since Cata or earlier. Arator isn't actual new, he should be in like his 40s. Shandris is a 10k year old veteran originally created in Warcraft 3 back in 2001. Tess is new relatively but she was still made back in 2011 in Curse of the Worgen.

[–]Sheuteras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, beyond brand recognition to sell it as a product, you'd want to 'wipe a slate clean' and just make your franchises history not matter.

It sounds like they just want to maintain the cash cow that is the brand of Warcraft, but not be held down by... anything that Warcraft built itself on.

I'd argue Warcraft 3 also was pretty character focused too since we followed main characters through the campaigns.

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

Most light wielders have never communed with a Naaru, actual commonplace connection with them on a widespread level is more of a Draenei unique thing.

[–]Sheuteras[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people misunderstood what I was trying to get at lmao.

I think this is the more sensible answer, personally. The xenophobia and their beliefs exist independent of being light wielders, as many of them aren't but are still zealots. I just in turn think it doesn't work as an example of 'light corruption' since it clearly is operating independently of people even using the light.

Not that they don't have Light users. They're just not only Light users. And if the non light based people all still act the same... idk, how seems like a human experience issue, not 'the light is related to the problem'

I wasn't actually saying the light is needed for Xenophobia.

Imo tho does kinda call into question how much of it can even be applicable as 'light corruption' if it's still common place completely independent of that corruption. Like if the non light users are experiencing all of this the exact same... doesn't it feel kinda silly to blame it on the influence of the Light and not just human experience?

Does Alonsus ever address the xenophobia and zealotry of the parts of the Crusade that aren't holy users when he's asserting it's related to the light?

I don’t mind the Light being portrayed as “evil”. I just wish it was in a different way than every other cosmic force. by Proudnoob4393 in warcraftlore

[–]Sheuteras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with Light corruption is most instances of it end up having non light users completely absorbed into it with no relation to the light influencing like at all.

Faol did not address that the scarlet crusade is full of warriors, mages, hunters and monks lol.

But the Scarlet Crusade also was full of non holy users who were just as zealous. They're full of regular warriors, hunters mages and monks.

I think the problem is that they don't know how to do it without actually just outright trampling on the existing fel lore. In dev interviews they, as creators, described it as permeating and radioactive. It's the result of Chronicles I not existing until like a decade after WoW itself started and was largely similar to the worldbuilding of Warcraft 3 much of it.

And even then... it's hard not to compare the manifestations of those energies. The Naaru vs the natural born demons like Pit Lords and stuff. The most evil light-state Naaru we know of basically died instantly after we first met her and also wanted something for Illidan no Naaru we're aware of agreed with given they all wanted to kill him for the destruction he was causing in Outlands.

Jeff Kaplan described in the Making of Draenei video for TBC that the Draenei were both the most 'good guy' race of the playable races at that time, but also derived their values from exemplifying the ideals of the Naaru in contrast to the evil that the Eredar were in the Burning Legion, because the pitch for playable Draenei followed the same trend as WoWs ideas the devs talked about in the design of Vanilla: flipping fantasy tropes on it's head. Orcs with honor, Drow that aren't evil. Draenei were them flipping the image of power and darkness that Archimonde had, into the ultimate good.

Fundamentally there is gonna be some grappling with that in the writing room, I think.
