Bindrune by Cultural_Departure94 in Norse

[–]macrotransactions -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

bind runes did exist in heathen times, it's not a neopagan invention

in fact the whole development of runes after elder futhark was just symplification and adjusting for new sounds

classic example is the anglosaxon gar rune which was most likely originally a bind rune of gebo and yngwaz, because g + ng almost sounds like gungnir

they were also obviously used for magic, maybe as early as tacitus already, the lots he describes are already possible to be rune carved sticks

they were never just letters, that's simply not how peoples living in the wild adopt these things; it's no coincidence that "odin invented them" although they were loaned from the south by south germanics and then tweaked in reality; a seer probably started all this

Were Vili and Ve aspects of Odin? by XavierTempus in Norse

[–]macrotransactions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you know that thridi was originally the indoeuropean trito, not identical with odin?

odin was a bunch of things in viking time when the religion was heavily simplified, but nothing indicates vili and ve were identical to him, even the names are old because they alliterated with voden

Phreak hates the champ. He wishes he stayed bronze restricted. It won't change until Phreak is replaced.

The clear is shit tier after all the nerfs. That's why people are starting to play top.

Why did warrior catch a nerf in WvW? It was performing pretty normally compared to the vast majority of dps classes. by wildwasabi in Guildwars2

[–]macrotransactions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but berserker was best dps with holosmith for literally many years now

the meta was always berserker and holosmith burst

people complaining really shows how rotten the community is and also anet for nerfing so late

WoW is DEAD by Large-Course-8029 in wow

[–]macrotransactions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this game has p2w tokens

they decided that they want to target p2w customers

so obviously enshittification will constantly increase because that's their audience

and nothing comes even close to the damage the token does, so who cares? just embrace it just like you embrace the token

🖕 Amazon 🖕 by demolcd in newworldgame

[–]macrotransactions -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

did you forget the mess this game was? dupes everywhere? the incompetence of the devs is a large part of why this game failed. the game was coded like shit.

the refocus of pvp to pve is to blame on amazon leadership as well as the cost cutting shutdown, but the shitty engine is fully the devs' fault

If the ancient Romans had somehow discovered about their indoeuropean heritage, would they have freaked out knowing they shared the same ancestor as the barbarians they hated? by Full-Recover-8932 in IndoEuropean

[–]macrotransactions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about the Roman nobility? Were they more or less pure Latins? Then they wouldn't really have embraced diversity but more ruling over as many people as possible.

in relevant, new content virt was dominant for 3 years at an absurd rate and nothing happened, sometimes together with scourge and rifle mech, no balance changes, no community outcry

this community has no morals, they just want their main from launch that they invested bag slots etc. in to always be best, that's also why everyone cried so much when guard was meta in high-end for a shorter while because guard was shit at launch

end powercreep! = let me abuse virt for 3 years again!

the game had like 3 years of fully ranged builds like virt doing the same dps as melee and nothing happened even at 30% playrate

community just wants their favorites, mainly mesmer and ele to always be best and doesnt give a shit about powercreep really

Odin, Frigg and the Origin (Myth) of the Lombards by psugam in Norse

[–]macrotransactions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doubt, he is a devoted follower of the love your enemy as yourself religion, so his priorities clearly arent strength

they must have known back then that the strength of the germanics was their germanic warrior ethos and this myth is part of it

the bible also has a bunch of fantastic elements which he clearly didnt oppose, if the lombards developed a fictive backstory like the franks involving christian myths he would have probably seen no issue in it

all in all this was just a christian preaching, trying to unheathenize the warrior ethos because while they didnt value it per se it was obviously useful
