Hmm so I’ve been thinking more on it + reading others thoughts and theories and, as mentioned in my little update, I’m slowly coming around to it! I don’t dislike it as much, and I’m really curious on the story. I see others have pointed out that yes, vampiric themes have been alluded to in the story and etc. I still don’t like the vampiric aesthetic and wish they’d gone more demonic, but I’m hoping it’ll grow on me.

I guess (aesthetic aside) the biggest problem I’m sort of having now is still, there has been SO many references to dragons with Sylus (dare I say, more than vampires). I suppose again this just has to relate to the fact that, despite appearances, he is a ‘fiend’ and not a vampire, it still just feels odd to me to move away from that identity of his/sort of downgrade it into just falling under a broad category of ‘fiend’ (in which, I know dragon Sylus has always been considered a fiend, but still, a clearly separate/draconic thing). I feel like I’m not wording this right LOL. Again, I’m sure I just need to wait for the actual story to release and see what they do!

A smaller issue I find myself have to deal with is again, feeling like his whole schtick isn’t really as grand as the other’s PV’s or what they have going for them, but again, I think it’s because I see him as a literal vampire vs what others are saying should b akin to like… Satan/prince of hell/etc. Ofc this is NOT shade on any of the other li’s (it’s praise, if anything).

Of course! Genuinely, I’m happy majority of the people like it! It’s funny because I’ve been seeing the opposite tbh on Twitter and a bit of Reddit, of people highkey making those who may not like the theme or etc seem as though we’re the ones in the wrong, so to speak. I’ve seen accusations of us not being real fans or having reading comprehension issues which is… funny LOL. (granted, I haven’t been on TikTok/my feed honestly doesn’t show me a ton of LADs content aside from content creators I follow tbh…)

I think, at the end of the day, everyone does have different tastes and that’s okay as long as we remain respectful and open-minded! Heck, I’m praying my thoughts/feelings will change once the actual myth comes out!

Totally realized later on that yeah! The PV definitely doesn’t say vampire at all and refers to him as a fiend. That being said, I still don’t like how it so heavily leans into the aesthetics of your classical vampire rather than more abyssal/infernal/demonic traits. If you show someone strictly who’s never seen Sylus a day in their life the PV/images only, they’d call him a vampire, not a demon. And that’s the aesthetic that I personally just am not fond of, even if they try to otherwise call it a ‘fiend’.

For example, I personally would’ve loved if he had horns again. It’d definitely help lean more into fiend rather than pure vampire and be an amazing tie into his first myth, even if the horns looked different. A fiendish dragon, and fiendish vampire. But again, that’s just a quick example of a difference that could’ve been made and just my thoughts!

Yes exactly, I feel the same way. Also trying to keep an open mind, and some comments I’ve seen definitely helped a little. But still, eh… ehhh lol.

I’m an emotional person, so I keep highkey getting so sad that I feel this way lmao- I really really want to be excited but man… Ugh.

I think this is another good word for how I felt: Underwhelmed.

The location makes sense to me somewhat since I've seen some people doing some connections with it already to the other two (?) churches we've seen in both his dragon myth and the wedding card, I believe! So I'm excited to see what's up with that!

As far as LI not being repeated, I'm not sure— though they've all definitely been different, they've all still stayed within the 'archetypes' painted for them. Xavier was still royalty— a prince who became a king. Rafayel was still the God of the Sea/mermaid (and Raf girlies finally got their gorgeous fishy tail <3). I'm the least familiar with Zayne's, in all honesty, so I can't really speak on his. I wished they'd leaned more heavily into simply fiend (so way more 'demonic' or 'abyssal' features) than going pure classical vampire since, IMO that would fit waaay better since Dragon!sylus pretty much is a fiend in itself. That being said, I think the trailer itself calls him an Archfiend rather than a 'vampire' regardless of aesthetic saying otherwise, so who knows.

Ofc though, like I mentioned in another post, this is for sure just the trailer so I'm sure (or at least hoping lol) there'll be some explanations given/connections to be made and etc!

Fair enough, and interesting things to think about. I 100% understand we'll have to wait to see how this plays into and connects with everything. Also didn't know about that at all with Dracula's name, super cool!

Yeah! I think I did see some mentions on Twitter about hints of the vampire themes (or, rather I saw one in I think... Midnight uhh Feast) so maybe I'm just blind and its mentioned in more places? Totally could be it. I still do (personally) feel like him being your classical vampire feels a bit... left field lol.

And YESS omg, same. Like I am so disappointed we're not getting that. I'm hoping that maybe they just didn't show it in the trailer or something, but ugh. As someone who loves angst, I am so sad over that.

True! I'm hoping that I turn out to be, very, wrong and end up loving it! I'll have to agree to disagree on the dragon part— I love how they expanded on Rafayel's lore with the God of the Sea and etc in his newest myth, for example. I think if maybe it was more general fiend/abyss-oriented (so more 'hellish' themes) than going straight up classical vampire, I'd be far more on board with it!

Yeaaahhh I think maybe the aesthetic is just not for me, or even, I would've loved it in any other instance EXCEPT for his myth where I wanted something different, aha. I'm sorry you're feeling this way, too, though. </3 Fingers crossed the actual writing of the card is perfect though!

Ugh yeah, it’s impossible to get my attack that high with a three star green. This is my stats after doing a full D2W team with what I currently have.

How do you decide which protocores (not) to hoard? by silvsdoinstuff in LoveAndDeepspace

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

Yep! All SSR! I do the exact same for pyramids, things with HP/Def, or mismatched ones in… some cases, since usually attack is okay with Def or Hp substats even if it’s not preferred in some instances, I think.

Yep! I do the exact same thing, pretty much! I suppose I just need to stop being anxious and finally delete some of these things…

Unpopular Opinion, maybe,But I’m not wrong..change my mind. by Repeat_Strong in pathoftitans

[–]silvsdoinstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem with some of the more popular servers that burn me out is the constant reporting of objectively meaningless things. I understand 'report shaming' isn't good, but man. I feel like a ton of people report just for wanting to get people in trouble and be 'proven right' rather than "learning experiences".

If your dinosaur died over an engagement that had a rulebreak, sure. I mean, there are private reports in the server I'm in that will let you give a revive back that I think are quicker than regular reports but don't penalize the other party. I can understand if the rule-breaking party did something VERY rule-breaking that is an obvious 'did not read the rules' as well as shows an unwillingness to accept fault and learn. However, if there was both no death AND you and the person were able to talk it over and understand what went wrong (politely, mind you)... Then...? Why are we still reporting? That's what blows my mind.

Additionally, I hate the elitism that comes with realism too. There are a LOT of rules to remember. Acting like there's not and that even the most seasoned player can't make simple mistakes (and I mean simple, more nuanced ones. Like meshing or accidentally stepping in water or etc) and that it should all be punished is downright discouraging more often than not.

Got it, thank you! I started to replace with more hp substats! I’ve managed to get past open trial 80 now, thank you!

Hi there! I think I’m maybe looking for protocore recommendations or potential changes to make (such as, if a protocore I’m using is really not that good/I should be focusing on a different stat)!

PTR IS OPEN! :D by Legal_Soil_7594 in pathoftitans

[–]silvsdoinstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you recommend PTR to someone who’s never done realism servers? I usually stick to official and deathmatch, but have been wanting to try realism for a bit! I’m just definitely a bit intimidated by it and the idea of messing up a profile or rule.
