Story Forum Community Lounge (Part 3)

Hello.

Nightsong here…

Needed a change and while I miss the blue skin of my voidy self I do prefer this red background and I’m able to use plate mogs… if only we had some nice helmets that didn’t look bad with my ears poking out of them.

Oh well, Fury Warrior has been proving to be a lot of fun as its flow feels like something Enhancement adjacent and for me, I really need that kind of mechanical engagement.

Random but is the discord still active?

Might be…

Also… there’s a discord?

Yes, it’s still active.

October will be the month where it’ll be a huge warcraft month with the Q and A, Alpha for Midnight, and etc. I’m excited to see Quel’thalas in the Alpha.

Is anyone else noticing some weird phasing/sharding going on? My Wyrmrest characters keep logging on and it looks like I’m on Moon Guard. It’s so weird.

I’m not sure how to parse this line… how does Moon Guard look different from Wyrmrest or any other server?

Moon guard players have come over en masse and the content of the server has degraded to things you’d expect on MG.

Population mostly.

The first time I noticed I was in the pvp area of Dorn and there were more alliance than usual which caught my eye and when I moved into the city proper all I saw was Alliance with * everywhere.

Another time was me logging in at prime time and there was just so many more people than normal. All of them Alliance with a little *.

Then I logged in near the portals in Tazavesh and there were just orange names* everywhere.

It’s happened when coming out of a pvp match, logging on for the first time, in two different cities, at different times of the day, and on multiple characters so I have no idea what’s causing it.

BG3’s Raphael might be a generational villain. And that’s saying something because BG3 has a lot of good villainsn- including you, the player, depending on how you play it.

But c’mon singing your own boss music? That’s next level. The only comparison I’ve is the Great Mighty Poo from Conker’s Bad Fur Day. And c’mon that was a gag.

Just look at the effort that went into it;

Omg yes, it was so epic… Definitely it put a high bar when it comes to Villian encounters! The only bad thing about BG3 is that it ended!
I wanted to keep playing it, the story was soo good and deep I sometimes needed to stop myself if not I could have easily play until morning the next day! :sweat_smile:
Not many games have that effect in me now a days.

I hope that if Sire D ever comes back Blizz team take a few notes from this character and from the lore of Asmodeus from D&D. Now that the Void is basically the equivalent of the Aberrations of the Far Realm… I can totally see Sire D and his Dreadlords become the D&D Devil version in WoW and the Legion can fall into the whole traditional D&D Abyssal Chaotic Demon version in WoW, specially now that they are developing the cultures of even the Void as per that last interview. They could totally use D&D and other famous IP like Might and Magic or Warhammer as reference for “inspiration” IMO.

Ah one can only dream… :drooling_face:

I love healing lfr when there are like four warlocks.

Watching Prayer of Mending bounce around the warlocks in between fights is amusing. Yes, burn yourselves so I can watch my spell zip around, yeeeees.

My favorite thing about Raphael is if you sneak up on him in front of Shar’s Gauntlet, you can hear him practicing his lines.

Also casting silence at the House of Hope stops his music.

Such attention to detail into that game. And always a stone unturned. Hundreds of hours in that game and just yesterday I learned you can accidentally spring a fight with like 30 undead koa toa in Act 2.

I learned that with my crew nearly out of spell slots and wounded. But thankfully they were all wet and Gale had Lightning Bolt.

For those of you unaware it is time to crown the champion of champions. That’s right. It’s the final days of that most special of weeks. Fat Bear Week.

Our contenders are 856 and 32 Chunk. Go forth, examine the width of the specimens and let your voice be heard, least you remain forever in cowardly silence.

So I had the thrilling experience of being rolled into a ditch today. Some numbskull flying on a residential street hit my driver’s side and flipped my car right over.

Extremely unpleasant and disorienting experience. As is frantically crawling out of a busted back window. I know upturned cars can catch fire so I moved with rat like speed to scurry out of the now ruined source of much of my livelihood.

But I walked away with some nasty scratches, bruises and a sprang wrist. Which felt miraculous after seeing the state of my car after they flipped it back over.

So this was probably my luckiest day alive.

Your undead ofcourse you were going to be ok!

Joking to the side glad your ok! That must have been terrifying!

Seems this year is a year of crazy things happening, I had my dog accidently ripping part of my nose and have to had 2 surgeries and still one on its way as soon as I heal the last one… Din’t stop me from nailing my Job interview interesting enough I thought they would NOT hire me seeing my bandages, lol.

Remember folks never expose your soft tissues even to your pets, freak accidents can always happend.

So be safe everyone, be extra careful during these times, crazy things we are seeing this year and I’m not talking about personal accidents only. :sweat_smile:

Chaos in Warhammer is famously treated as something that doesn’t work ever!

And yet there are ways around the drawbacks… If you know how everything works…

For Nurgle Cults where the drawback is having a low lifespan if you aren’t a Blightking, Daemon or Plague Marine you must have Spellbooks as the Matthias Thulman trilogy of Warhammer Fantasy shows that a Spell can turn a dying nobleman into a Great Unclean One. Nurgle is generous!

For Slaaneshi Cults you must treat the Causeway of Secrets and Circles of Paramountcy and Vainglory as distinct Gods to worship and reject Slaanesh himself!

For Tzeentchi you must treat Magnus, the Citadel of the Iron Knight, the 9th Library, Heavenward Halls and the Eyrie of the Watcher as distinct Gods to worship and reject Tzeentch himself!

Magnus would be God of Magic, the Watcher would be God of Portals, the 9th Library would be the God of Knowledge, Heavenward Halls would be the God of Games, Eternity Stair would be the God of Ascent, the Black Pit would be the God of Darkness, the Frozen Moon would be the God of Stasis and the Iron Knight would be God of Order and Paths through Chaos.

Tzeentch/The Crystal Labyrinth should be treated as Chaos itself whom the Iron Knight counters via providing protection from through Texts.

The 9th Library outside the Impossible Fortress and the Library inside the Impossible Fortress should be treated as the same place as the Impossible Fortress is a metaphor for gazing at the depths of Tzeentch which you traverse until you find your way into the 9th Library which also can be accessed outside of the Impossible Fortress through communing with the Iron Knight.

Khorne’s Drawbacks are unavoidable so you should just avoid him period!
