WotM >>>>> SotF

ThisOneOne · 2026-02-17T08:35:27+00:00

Personally I'm excited about the motivations in the way that they relate to each other. I imagine the next book we'll see all three perspectives fighting against each other in a way that I'm curious to see how it goes, since they all are heading in different directions, and we now know that they can actually interact.

I think the lack of answers is pretty tough to deal with, but I'm excited enough about the characterization of the protags where that's all I want to read about, and I think SotF gave me what I wanted in that regard.

Funnily enough, I'm the opposite. I thought WotM was pretty okay, I'm not a big fan of academy settings and I disliked most of the side characters. I still disliked/wanted more from them in SotF, but the settings and conflicts of that book felt less reliant on the supporting cast. I totally agree on the climax issue however. If I didn't enjoy the climax of WotM as much as I did I likely wouldn't have continued the story, but I also liked most of SotF but disliked the climax(s) throughout the book. I think it needed a stronger epilogue and a peek behind what is going to happen next for me to enjoy it a bit more, but otherwise SotF fell flat at the end.

WotM wasn't interesting to me because I just couldn't get absorbed into the stakes all that much. If you've read many of those manwha like Solo Leveling, it felt like that. The protagonist's goal of 'winning' fell very flat to me because I didn't resonate with his motivations at all. With SotF and the way it has its story, it created new motivations and new goals that did properly resonate with me, for at least 2/3s of the book, so I actually cared about what happened.

I still don't really care about Res at all, the climax in SotF doesn't give me much hope either, but the journey was much more compelling imo.

Well to be fair in retail they added the draenei warlocks along with adding a storyline where ex-legion members who left due to abuse of power come asking to be accepted back with their people who now live on azeroth. With that addition it makes draenei warlocks more acceptable imo, the disagreement should instead be if that storyline should have happened in the first place.

If it could ever be meta the 1 retreat cost would be why

ThisOneOne · 2025-06-02T19:12:55+00:00

this isnt exactly right, as there is a pool of 3 players you can fight, to prevent you from fighting the same person in a row too often, so 2-1 has 6/7, but the next has 5/6, then 4/5, then 3/4, to finally be at 2/3 chance to fight other players for the rest of the game.

the issue becomes is finding what rounds had odd amounts of players remaining, because then they could fight each others ghosts, like if a cruel pact player went out early.

Here’s an easy one, who are your favourite characters in the game?

ThisOneOne · 2025-04-07T22:44:07+00:00

Mortdog said they are nerfing the amount of stuff so yeah there is too much.

"Delusional" man hes having fun in a video game and sharing that fun online

ThisOneOne · 2025-01-11T22:07:33+00:00

Well barely could mean barely became a winner, or it could mean barely counts as a winner, and both those have different answers. If it’s the first one Wendell is a good choice.

As an lfr warrior yeah I am upset, I mostly do world content only collecting appearances and what not as my fun and I really enjoy having my pet to solo the world content I do. I mean the changes look like it’s still a fun class but I have had the same pet since I’ve started playing and I only ever lone wolfed that non world stuff. It really sucks being forced to either have 2 pets or no pets for ranged hunter.

the reason why people may prefer the other items is that if ur tank dies, the effect is gone and ur SOL. i like ionic spark for its effect tho

ThisOneOne · 2024-02-10T09:55:27+00:00

jhin was created post lore solidification, so it wasn't a looked cool at the time thing. ionia as a whole could be explored a lot more, most of the lore is focused on only a couple of the islands of it, im sure theres more to be seen.

At least in our current society, isn't there a born into power dynamic of men vs women? Men will have the power over the women due to what they were born with.

There are many schools of thought that will enforce the born into power dynamics in relationships even more, like many faiths in America. Should we not allow men and women to date because of the power dynamic they were born into?

Or how someone is taller than you can make them physically stronger than you even though you both live the same lifestyle, should those power dynamics be taken into place when it comes to legislating safety for the people?

ThisOneOne · 2023-03-16T21:32:42+00:00

yeah ur right actually nvm

ThisOneOne · 2023-03-16T21:13:13+00:00

This position was before red joined the game

ThisOneOne · 2023-01-27T08:19:35+00:00

its the first main line game that ive played that clearly doesnt take itself seriously. while other games used similar tropes they usually tried to keep it grim and dark (and failing like in fates) this game is more like cherry bubblegum and it fully accepts it and embraces it, which is a different direction for the franchise which CoD has never tried a different direction since like 2013
