Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

I’m not THAT cynical. He’s no Zappyboi as Zappyboi rose to prominence for doing absolutely nothing of significance all throughout just because Memes. Stone fren however seemed more thought out. I do agree that he may be overused due to his small popularity but we’ll see… Considering how Sony was convinced to lose money on “Morbin’ time” there’s no doubt in my mind it could happen here as well, silent characters in-game would be God awful as the emotional impact is drastically dampened, even with /e to tell you what’s happening.

dangerously based. i finished its main story and it proved to me you dont need a daedric world ending threat to make a compelling threatening storyline

I didn’t even make it through the cinematic. I want to hit that stone chump with a pickaxe. From here until the game closes every cinematic is going to have a Reddit group try to force a character into a meme.

I did not like the cinematic. I skipped through it because it was just some stone chump moping and then a WHOA DRAGUNZ as if we’re in the wake of Skyrim and dragons are still innately cool.

I want everyone to know that if this were 2012 we’d have received a follow up video where stone chump has a gangnam style parody.

The visual noise is overwhelming in some raids for sure, but I refuse to turn it down to only my effects. My own personal EX difficulty.

depends on the universe because i still think giant talking element breathing lizards are kinda alright

Fun fact: Jojo names are all italian words. Dio = God for example XD.

to get that you need to do these steps:
do the calia quest chain on a hunter, go to the legion hunter horder hall and you can buy it for 1000 gold :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess I’m leveling my hunter, then. It’s her revenge for losing status as my main years ago.

How’s everyone doing, forums?

Good, ty for asking XD

I turned everybody but mine down to low in the Rabanaste raid because I couldn’t see what was the boss’ and what was my team’s visual effects anymore

very well thank you master kump

You’re welcome.

You’re welcome.

Also, peeve: HEAT.

The inevitable result of alliance and horde clashing over gilneas.

Yeah, it’s definitely not one of their better cinematics. I thought the dragons looked bad too. :upside_down_face:

I’m dead.

It worked on me but that’s because my brain has two buttons marked DRAGONS and ELVES and pressing one releases the happy juice

lmao. gottem

I feel like I’m going crazy, I really liked the Dragonflight cinematic. The pacing and melancholy of it all felt great, I love how the watchers are animated to have a pseudo stop-motion feel, I love the sadness and confusion turning to grim resolution as the last watcher morbidly performs his final duty. I just wish it didn’t end on the dragons swooping in and saving the day, it would have been neat to arrive on the Dragon Isles to find this scene and trying to piece together what all the devices are, what purpose they fulfilled and why they were reactivated. But instead I guess we just get Chaddius Granite to explain it all to us.

Overall I’d rank it up there among of the better ones, especially when most comments I see boil down to “the stone guy was boring”.

I liked the Dragonflight cinematic too. I didn’t love that Alexstrasza was immediately there after the beacon was lighted to save the stone man though. It felt implausible and also I feel like it would have resonated better if he had died fulfilling his duty.

Because then also that prevents them abusing and ruining what is a very one note character.
