Nah, they established them just fine. Rand is a coward, Mat is a lazy thief, Perrin is a sociopathic murderer, Nynaeve is a Mary Sue, and Egwene has face cancer.

The world is, due to female channelers tending to wield a lot of political power, from the Aes Sedai in the White Tower, to the Aiel Wise Ones, all the way down to village Wisdoms. But, the books/story was more balanced.

The actor who plays Thom had a scheduling conflict and couldn't make the shooting of the earlier episodes, so they rewrote him in later. On the one hand it does fuck some things up (just add it to the list) on the other, so far he's about the best casting in the show. Perrin having rage issues...

Finally figured out why Perrin seems so familiar. It's Parker! Extra points if you know what I'm actually referring to. ;)

Rand sure makes up for lost time though, lol. Can't wait to see how these asshats handle that shit. If the show lasts that long.

The problem is those stupid changes fuck up the characters. In the books, Rand is not a coward who runs from fat girls with swords (even in this show he doesn't hesitate to tackle a Trolloc, but oh no, fat girl, let me slam myself into a locked ironwood door over and over like a cartoon...

Right, but in RU/KR the catchup mechanic gets you to 1302, so those GS gaps aren't a big deal. Plus, have to remember that there are weird jumps in GS for some stupid reason, so those gaps aren't as big as they seem.

The prices I saw were much lower than that. Like 400-800 range. And we're talking gold at tier 3. Having one extra alt doing tier 3 raids every week would pay for itself quickly. But, yeah, like you said, it's the 1-50 that really matters. The prices I saw might have been a preview of RU, before...

Tam being delirious from Trolloc poison was retarded to leave out, that's when he lets slip that he's not Rand's father. A lot of the other Two Rivers changes seem to me to be desperate edgelord shit trying to grimdark it up to be more like GoT.

Also have to keep in mind that, other than Asmodean, the Forsaken were considered pretty damn strong in the Age of Legends too.

The One Power is pretty much elemental magic, Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Spirit. So, yes. Females tend to be stronger in Air and Water, but Moiraine is one of the strongest females (for now) and has an angreal, which is something that enhances the amount of Power you can use.

You are definitely correct on your maths. Here's some thread titles: It's good! Hardcore Readers perspective: Absolutely amazing I am just so happy Holy light the show is GOOD but where are the animated bonuses?? Just watched episode 1 before work. ITS. SO. FUCKING. GOOOOD. LETS GOOOO!!!!!

People used to ignore the new continents (because you get nothing for doing them, except a pitiful handful of upgrade mats and silver), which is why Smilegate decided to gate everything to completion of each continents final main story quest. At least now, with max level being 60 the xp helps...

Then I would advise you to stay away from reddit, to remain secure in your imagining. I did too, until he lost against a single Trolloc. Too bad Nynaeve wasn't there.

It was a bunch of researchers, including Lanfear who opened the Bore. But, can't blame Lews's psycho power hungry ex, gotta word the narration to make it sound like men and their "arrogance" were directly and solely responsible for the Breaking and the taint. "Thought they could cage...

Each set of Chaos Dungeons corresponds to a continent. You can go up the Bern ones as you reach the necessary gear score, but you can't move on to the next set until you do the last quest of the Rohendel continent. When all your gear is at least average +15 you can get the next set, and you use...

Thom was cool, if a bit harder than I remember. But, goddamn, the pacing is such shit.

Pretty unbelievable that the Trollocs were such a problem for the Two Rivers. One headbutt from Nynaeve would obliterate their whole army.

No one promised your brain wouldn't shut off (fall asleep).

I'm just starting Ep 3 and I'm fucking bored out of my mind. Shadar Logoth was ok, Lan and Moraine are decent, but the Two Rivers kids are a snorefest. Probably the worst casting ever. Boring scenes/dialogue, just nothing interesting about them at all (characters or actors).

Wow, that intro with the retelling of what led to the Breaking. Are you fucking kidding me? It was Lanfear and Beidomon who woke up old Darky. Oh, the arrogance of trying to save the world (and succeeding) and getting madness and death as your reward!

Um, the budget is already 10 mil per episode, how much more do you want? It's just like AGS, money can't compensate for incompetence.

Yes, but not as fugly as Nynaeve. Her fucking forehead generates its own gravity. It's worse than the fact that they're brown. My suspension of disbelief was like "I'm supposed to believe Lan and Rand think these bitches are attractive? Get the fuck out of here!" And then walked out. I haven't...

Well, yeah, the experience of leveling to 50 is just a chore. But, it's not so bad the first time, while the game/combat is still shiny. The "real" game doesn't start til 50, but "endgame" while being better than the questing, is just doing the same shit every day/week. Some people like to talk...

Yes, it's not really something to worry too much about. In a week long beta, sure. But your first character at launch? It's not really saving you much time at all, it just feels like it does because the quests are so fucking dull. Being efficient is more about when you're running up alts...

Some side quests (and all "hidden" quest) give affinity (rapport) stats that you're going to need.

We're getting Yorn at launch, which is the start of T2. T1 - North Bern/Rohendel T2 - Yorn/Payton T3 - Papunika/South Bern

Tam Al'thor...farmer...lol. Technically, yeah. :p Also, I just read that the actor who plays Mat in season 1 gets replaced in season 2. Wonder what the fuck happened there. Gonna be weird, they look nothing alike. Edit: And, for anyone worried about that dumb line saying the Dragon...

It would still fuck up their stories. All their actions/interactions in the first few books are based on the fact that they are naive village teens. Having, living or dead, wife/kids just completely changes them. So, Perrin, instead of moaning about Faile, moans about the (dead?) wife back home...

Morena Baccarin (when she was in V) was the closest actress to what I always imagined Lanfear would look like.

It's pretty retarded. Zero reason to add characters (Mat's kids/Perrin's wife) that they are immediately going to leave behind, and why the fuck would they leave? Perrin's relationship with Faile is like 70% of his fucking story. Plus, ya know, the whole POV of Rand/Mat/Perrin being only fucking...

Exactly. It's been years since the last time I read the series, but IIRC, having a Saldaean noblewoman for his wife is kinda integral to Perrin's later arc when he returns home.

It will completely remove Faile as a character, I would assume.

I've been playing Asian games since Lineage 1 like back in 99? Their graphics/animations/combat are usually years ahead of the West, but the world/questing/story is usually terrible. Keep hoping they'll get better.

Mat: "Omg, I'm so concerned about making a better life for my kids that I'm gonna run off and leave them behind in Two Rivers for years while I travel the world, and then I'm gonna start my own mercenary band and run around fighting battles and shit."

Yeah, after a patch you're supposed to load the game once without running the translator to avoid this issue.

Looking forward to those, and also these (warning Asian content ahead):

It's pretty obvious that reviewer never read the books. Yeah, dumbass it's not really a dragon reborn, it's THE Dragon aka Lews Therin reborn. At best he skimmed a synopsis or some shit.
