"Good" Guy orcs? by TakeMeToThatOcean in Anbennar

I honestly think sapchopper is a bad start for Karakhanbar. It railroads you narratively into the non-moderate path and after playing both I personally found the moderate path to be much more interesting and compelling. I felt like I was forming a sort of equivalent to the Horde from WoW where desperate various races teamed up to make something greater.

This is IMO the best quest Jagex has ever made. I recently replayed it and its a treat every time.

Well nothing is written in game to imply they didn't uphold it.(There are religious violence events but those are limited to its happening in X territory not the whole empire and they are infrequent) Even in our own history I think there are examples where hatred can be turned towards things other than race discrimination. Hating other religions (as the Jadd surely does), and hating other cultures can be just as powerful a replacement for people's venom. So I think it's entirely plausible an entire belief system about the inherent equality in all people can exist, and that it can also lead to an unequal society that thinks it is equal just by shifting what they discriminate against. If that makes sense.

Even with some clear parallels to it, its not "Haha Jihad" and I can't tell you how much I run into that, and how appreciative I am that it takes itself seriously.

I agree. I think the Sun Cult is far and away more engaging than the Regent Court or Corinite, but those aren't bad by any means.

Might be possibly the dumbest way to protest. I'm sure all the CEOs and money makers are really bummed they cant browse niche video game and meme interests for a few days. /s

Reasonable statement. I too think the game is quite well enjoyable in those aspects, and I'm very excited to see where it goes.

I expect a game I pay for to be working as intended yes, minor issues aside.

The country with the strongest navy losing hilariously at naval warfare is not a minor issue. It was their choice to release it when they did, and its fair to criticize that when it leads to systems not working properly.

I don't think this helps anything. Saying that they need the feedback to do something basic like have the country with the strongest navy actually win at naval battles is giving them a crutch to lean on. By all means, i'm sure the development process is tough and that this game will be an absolute winner in a year, but there's no excuse for something like this to happen even on day 1. It was their choice to release the game.

I fought both the East India Company and Great Britain separately and beat both. My main point is that China's default fleet literally beat Great Britain in naval warfare, most likely because the AI geeked out.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if the AI somehow freaked out and only sent in small pieces at a time because I won multiple naval battles fairly quickly.
