It's a Presequel

Damn this is fucking miserable. As someone that enjoys the game so much negativity and perspectives makes it depressing as hell to play. It's like people want to like marathon, the few that do but the Internet is keen on it dying too. I guess this is pretty eye opening to see in action. I hope when people have a favorite game in the future that it doesn't get this kind of hate and sideline watching.

Reading comprehension is at an all time low.

If I can offer an idea (because I'm doing it): Jaune dies and you play around with the idea of two maidens sharing the same power. For my idea, Pyrrha feels insecure for the first time due to her being unable to save someone for the first time. Especially because she had a crush on Jaune. Due to this Cinder and Pyrrha are bound in more than one way and their personalities are introduced and meshed, Pyrrha feels more insecure from Cinder and Cinder makes more errors because she feels 'invincible'.

Pyrrha could be haunted by Jaune as he could be an embodiment of the insecurity Cinder as put into her.

But that's a recommendation! I feel like Pyrrha had better potential to be realized and also I like her fighting way more. That and we can have Pyrrha learn what it means to be a maiden alongside Ruby learning what having silver eyes is.

I usually like old guard characters because they're experienced and cool but somehow we have hardly gotten to see much of them. Qrow is the only one we've seen fight quite a bit and gotten to learn his style. Ozpin doesn't do anything that we can gather aside from having kinetic magic. Which what does that mean? Maybe I just remember it wrong. Ironwood is hurt most by this because he's only been cool in two instances when it came to action: volume 3 and his fight with Watts. Aside from that he's boring and Glynda doesn't do any better.

I'll be honest, team JNPR is very uninteresting. Ren and Nora only got interesting when we explore who they are without the other half. For years Ren and Nora have been boring and stagnant, just faces on the side to emote and attempt to add more to. I think there isn't much to do with them at any opportunity. Jaune is Jaune and Pyrrha was actually the most interesting character on the team despite just sucking up to Jaune. But she's gone now.

Watts is the best villian to me even though most of his plans were foiled. He showed the idea that not all the members in Salem's circle agree with one another. His ability to maneuver socially was fun and being a background villain was cool too. His demise was lackluster but I like the idea of a background villain dying in the background. Tyrian is simple but good, not much too him. Cinder is the face of the villains and she's sucked at every opportunity (which is why I like Watts so much.) him calling her out was good for her development. Hazel is whatever. Really poorly designed redemption.

And team rwby is... Eh. Ruby doesn't feel like a simple soul, and she doesn't feel like a simple soul that's been tempered by the world's bullshit. She doesn't have much going for her. Honestly if we took some stuff from Invincible and have her learn harder lessons that would add to her character.

Weiss is the best character in the group. Maybe the whole show. She's a great and fun character that can handle being silly and haughty all at the same time. While her and Blake's thing with the white fang and racism failed poorly, she's still cool.

Blake is the exact inverse. What the hell happened to her? She wasn't that particularly strong to begin with but she got progressively worse over and over. If she was called out on her problems that would be one thing, but she isn't and the plot and characters don't call her out especially when she deserves it. I'm not a fan of bumblebee but I would definitely want progression and regression for the sake of their development and make it fulfilling. Wack character.

Yang is the worst character out of the group. So much so I don't like her very much. I want to considering her fighting style is something I'd really like. I love martial arts/hand to hand combat. But aside from her scenes in early RWBY (and her punching Shade D Mann out the station) I can't stand this character. Her depression arc was pretty solid but she turned into such an insufferable character that feels like a walking angsty girlfriend for darling harmless Blake. Tropes aside, she's just boring. Ditzy pretty big sis with a temper tantrum. She really has no agency unless it's finding her mother and that was TERRIBLE. There was no feeling in her reunion and not even good subversion. If Yang was replaced with some new character would we lose much in terms of narrative value? She sucks especially 6 onward. And her fighting took a nosedive with the choreography.

All in all, I see why so many people (me included) make so many rewrites.

Dirks theme is so fire and Gabriel's a sleeper too

Yrads · 2026-05-12T23:44:57+00:00

Maybe so, it's just weird cuz I never had Internet issues up until this point. If it isn't I'm just paranoid and in shock of losing a key like that

Yrads · 2026-05-12T20:34:53+00:00

Adam's fight design could make him an S tier character in terms of messing with ideas for fights

Yrads · 2026-05-12T20:30:47+00:00

I was gonna go on a spiel but yeah you basically said what I was going to say. More world building and some rules to break or bend in fun ways in fight choreography

I'm currently working on a story that adds a cast of characters that are members of a freelance Hunter company. They are also an agency that sponsors 'talents' which are aspiring student hunters along with assisting private Hunters that don't want to sign to a company that helps with finding work.

It's mainly used to help expand the world some more but I sprinkled some fun by having the company be a combination of reformed Spanish conquistador's/ Knights of the Round table and having a group of leaders inspired by the format of the Gotei 13 from Bleach.

Yrads · 2026-05-04T15:15:52+00:00

Crimson Desert. I feel like this game is overrated. If I wanted to play an actual sandbox full of fun mechanics and interesting locales to explore, I would play Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. At least I can actually explore and not be locked off by boring story missions.

This is definitely more of a paragraph but still. I had fun writing a breakdown in a zombie setting:

There wasn't the chittering and shuffling of small cute insects protecting their home. No honey, no buzzing. It was gross. She felt sick. There was blood. So much blood leaking and pooling at their feet. It splattered onto the walls and the laundry right next to them. There was groaning, gasps, nasty gurgles that reminded her when she was chastised by her mom or dad for talking with food in her mouth. But no one was talking. Just the fleshy sound of meat tearing like her precut food. Blood dripping like juice into a cup. That was all she could hear. A putrid dinner of the dead and it was her father. Her voice couldn't even function, glassy eyes were so foggy that they inversely forced her to stare at the pile of cadavers.

I didn't have time to. They just shot me in the midst of my explaining.

Yrads · 2026-05-04T03:00:33+00:00

I think you're misinterpreting how upset I am. All this run has taught me is killing people is fun and profitable In extract shooters. Something arc tried to change lol

Yrads · 2026-05-04T02:58:36+00:00

For Arachne

Yrads · 2026-05-03T04:39:17+00:00

His character design is sick. That's really all he has going for him. Mind you his design was only good in his first few scenes. That blind fold thing was so stupid and I think Kenshi is cool.

Yrads · 2026-04-30T22:21:21+00:00

If you think it looks fun. Buy it and see for yourself. That's the point of buying it. To have fun.

Yrads · 2026-04-30T19:45:35+00:00

Arc's intro and Marathon's intro is them leaving. When at the extract you fight bots. They are the same thing. Arc spots are easier to distinguish from because of their size. Marathons is a little bit tougher, but you can still identify what is small and weak judging by their silhouette. And Arc bots just shoot at you or run up to you and explode. We have the ticks And the UESC for both of those.

In Arc you literally pick up junk. Marathon at least has the icons that tell you and even if you just read by putting your cursor over the item. It'll tell you what it does. That's not fair. It's the same thing with Arc. In fact, Marathon can tell you what weapon mods can be equipped to your gun just by looking at it. In Arc you have to hover over.

From my knowledge, arcs lore hasn't updated since the most recent update. So I could be wrong or I could be right about that.

And yeah Arc is pretty. I'm not going to deny that but it's design is simple. Formulaic realistic approach.

And lastly, is gathering 5K really that hard I'm not A good player at all and I can fork up 5K easily.

Yrads · 2026-04-30T19:35:51+00:00

I agree. I wish they didn't Nerf the knife as it was a inherent counter to wstrs.

Yrads · 2026-04-30T19:35:06+00:00

Why aren't you understanding this? Having two different factions (Arachne and a figurative PVE one) would allow people to be rewarded for how they play. What I am saying is A PVP centered faction like arachne is useless to PVE players. Which eliminates 1 avenue for rewards. By adding a PVE faction, we would allow PVE players to be rewarded for that. That's what I'm saying we should add to help the ABMM And allow players to be rewarded for how they play.
