Ran all of Gauntgrym except the 20v20 pvp phase on the public test server (as there was only 9 people total on the PTR). First time event started we were 3man vs 7man for the other faction so we "lost" the first pve phase, and could only run the T1 dungeon, second time there were 9 ppl all on...

lol my post got moved here? What did I spoil exactly? That the books are different than the TV show? Spoiler alert. they're different!

Interesting to read what you guys think of the Theon/bolton thing. In the books the reason for holding him is plainly spelled out, but in the books different sequences of events had unfolded where it's entirely logical to keep theon a prisoner in the dreadfort. It was confusing to me as a book...

Now one else is upset about the changes to Stannis/Davos storyline? Stannis is already a borderline douche in the books, too damn rigid, but he's at least logical and noble. he doesn't need any help making him more douchy especially by melding him and basically his Wife's character into one...

intentionally manipulating and setting in to motion the War of the Five Kings is probably more villainy than pushing one psycho bitch out a moon door. Also killing Joff for shits and giggles purely because he has the means to do so with "seemingly" no motivation or opportunity.

same. Though once I hit 60 with my TR initially I got kinda bored and started leveling a cleric up, but now i'm always on my rogue doing CN/T2 speed runs, exploiting the shit out of shit until they fix it all in the patch.

Yeah the tickler scenes in the show were pretty close approximations to the scenes in the books, starts with "is there any gold in the village, where is the brotherhood, which of the villagers helped the brotherhood, etc" Extremely disappointed in how they've adapted this season. a lot of...

I've decided that i'm kinda on board with the whole Jon Snow/Meera Reed twins thing, precisely because there's so little reference in the books but none of the evidence refutes it, combined with GRRM taking a personal interest in her look when she was cast. The Reeds kids are minor characters...

Robert Strong is basically a Flesh Golem/Frankenstein thingy. He's headless which matches one of the dreams which I can't remember right now that matches the description of the Mountain in plate with no face but total darkness under his visor.

interesting theory but I was pretty sure Meera was a year younger than Jon. lemme look it up

In the show there's 2 lannister armies, Jaime's and Tywins. Tywin's is near harrenhal (north of it actually, closer to the trident, they fall back to Harrenhal) and if they took the kings road they'd clash with his. jaime's is sieging Riverrun. Robb sends 2k men down the king's road to feint...

First couple of episodes will be introduction of new characters, Red Viper, etc. 1-3 we'll see Dorne's impact on the politics of KL. 4 for the PW, 5-6 for reactions to it, including Davos sending Gendry off to protect him from Mel, and then reading the letter from the NW and convincing stannis...

Yeah he got shot by Ygritte, partly out of scorn for his betrayal of her and partly to prove to the other wildlings that she's true to them and had no knowledge of his true nature. Also kinda miffed about the show's portrayal of the conquest of Yunkai. It's the pinnacle of dany's success and...

That's the backdrop but, not really. A Song of Ice and Fire is about Ice and Fire. Everything that's happened so far is just setting the stage for it. All the powerplay in King's Landing is as "vital" to the story as all the stuff that's gone on with the Starks. As in, it's not. it's just...

Have you read the books, or is this your opinion as a TV Viewer?

Kind of Spoilerly but not really.

I play on Dragon. both fighter classes are somewhat underpowered and it takes a lot of gear and skill to make up for it, meaning that the average group doesn't know any better or bothers inviting them. Nearly every group is some 5man combination of 2x cleric, 2xwizard, 2xrogue. 2xcleric groups...

Oh so all of you guys have seen the episode early too? Jeez wtf hbo I want early access. considering how little time has been dedicated to robb/cat's story this season I'm surprised that a non-book reader even put it in the same category as Ned's tbh. Remember that people who've only watched...

a non-book reader who somehow gets early access to shows before they air over at imdb posted about the episode. He didn't spoil the episode but he said "what happens in the last few minutes of the episode rivals ned stark's execution in sheer shock value"

In this context we're discussing what non-book readers have been shown in the TV series and what they believe. I assume everyone who's posting in this thread has read the books and already knows this. While this is the correct interpretation for those who've read the books, the way it was shown...

what? I think you have it backwards. Both are referred to as the "Red God" in the show, and all the non-book readers I know assume it's the same god. The only time he's referred to as R'Hllor is in High Valyrian, and as the Lord of Light is by Melisandre. All of Westeros refer to him as the...

I said "from what viewers have seen", as in, people watching the show who haven't read the books, so your point about book details is irrelevant. Non-LoL faith stuff they've seen: Ned praying to the old gods and having his head lopped off. They've seen Sansha preying to them, having her dream...

Nah this is pretty much it exactly. She believed she always had some power but definitely used conjurers tricks/etc to keep up a front that she was more powerful than she was, but now that magic is coming back in to the world she needs her tricks less and less. also from what viewers have...

Well in the books only Arya, Samwell, the other NW guy who becomes the Recruiter/singer guy actually go to Braavos. Gilly/Aemon/Mance Jr are there but on the ship and never enter the city. They're only there for about 2 days (basically 1 scene's worth of show time) and then head to Old Town...

I've ran my cleric through every dungeon thus far (lvl 39) with PUGs and the only dungeon that my group has died on was Throne of Idris. queue group was TRx2, GWF, CW, and me a DE. We wiped to Idris twice before downing her, but then again we almost wiped several times to zone trash. First...

No that guy died. Anyone who blows the horn dies. With the possible exception of Danaerys as she has enough "blood of the dragon/old valyria/whatev" to be mostly* immune to fire. The black priest with Victarion was sent by the High Priest in Volantes, he was sent to council Dany, and he's...

Who gives a shit what Stannis thinks? Or the people of Westeros for that matter? It's R'Hllor who cares what blood is sacrificed to him, or barring that Melisandre. In her mind Targaryen blood counts, Baratheon blood counts, even Mance Rayder's blood counts. So yes, absolutely Khal Drogo's...

It's not, nor did I ever make a statement suggesting that. I said it was annoying knowing something for 5 books that this character doesn't know, and watching her (and more importantly Stannis) do all this stuff based on that lack of knowledge.

The 100k Dothraki of his Khalasar to start with. In addition to the nobles of each of the free cities that paid tribute to him as he passed through to prevent his khalasar from sacking their cities. 100x more people consider him a "king" than Stannis Baratheon, yet he's still a King. Khal...

When the fuck is Mel going to get a clue? The one thing I find really irritating in multiple POV books is when you know something as the reader that certain characters do not, and they continuously make bad decision after bad decision based on their lack of knowledge. It's fine when I don't...

Avast is now flagging the patcher as malware and automatically deletes it (well moves it to the virus chest) Ran into this issue and haven't been able to get on all morning. Finally found the answer on their tech forums. basically have to restore the program then turn Avast's file manager off...

I've read the books so I don't wanna intrude on this thread, but if you watch the Season 2 extra's (history and lore of Westeros) they give a bit more back story than the show can, while still keeping the lore true to the Show (where it's been changed in the show vs the books) The obsidian vs...

I did both of these dungeons leveling up. I "tanked" the Mad Dragon on my rogue, never wiped, no one even died. that dungeon can probably be done without a cleric, might even be easier without one if your group is full of bads that doesn't understand how healing aggro works. That fight is...

Well I like the Rogue Power's and Feat (talent) trees because leveling up you naturally rank 3 your available powers which happen to be the ones you will actually use. As you get new powers you drop a point in them, realize they are bad, and go back to using your rank 3s. then you look at the...

Boss fights get harder via more hp and more diverse adds/aoes but i wouldnt say difficult unless your in a pug full of bads. As far as rogues go youll use the powers your given during the intro for pretty much everything through lvl 60. Sly flourish will be replaced with duelist flurry in...

Servers still down? looks a rollback to 5:20am (PDT) Sunday, May 19th. I haven't logged in since then (logged off about 2am PDT) so thankfully this rollback will have no effect on me. they will be giving everyone some kind of bullshit ingame bonus pack as an apology for the rollback...

I can't even remember DDO though I played it at launch, so I can't really compare the two. NW is like a first (well, third) person Diablo-esque Action MMO set in the Forgotten Realms setting of D&D. It has some of the better elements of a lot of MMOs out there (one example being companions...

speaking of failing at being a rogue, what's the consensus on rogue builds? I'm just leveling, have a mostly single target dps build going, str/dex, mainly either passive + dmg or +AP gain type feats. Joined a PUG for a dungeon who were shocked that I wasn't pure AOE. From what attacks are...

The choice of a handful of skills and the mapping of them is quite awesome actually. everything is within reach of WASD. Not since original EQ have I been able to play an MMO solely by WASD and mouse. Oh and mapping both mouse buttons to attacks so that you are always in mouselook mode is...

Anyone playing on Dragon? The game is completely free unless you wanna buy vanity shit so you'll definitely get your money's worth.
