    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If so, that seems like an even bigger fuck up in writing. "Magic" was supposed to be a fairy tale in their world. It was only when the dragons/meteor/WW's came back that "magic" returned. If they've been using magic ravens for the last few hundred years since magic disappeared, I...I don't even...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    So....you just give the raven directions, like, "Hey, go find a boat with really big sails. It should be in this general direction. Make sure it's the BIG sails though! And they're black with a giant gold kraken. You know what krakens are, right raven?" Man, ravens are really fucking smart.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I mean, I said the same thing about how Euron ended up going to King's Landing instead of Dragonstone, and Scream jumped all over my shit about how "Cersei invited him." But the motherfucker was on a boat. I guess he gets good cell service in the middle of the Narrow Sea. Honestly, I'm at the...

    I hope the vehicle physics change doesn't mean they fixed things like crashing and rag-dolling the vehicle 300 feet into the air. Because that shit is hilarious. I'm also glad they made it so disconnected players can reconnect. Figured that would've been in a long time ago. Looking forward to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Then you're just back to "bad writing" again. "Character says he's going to do X" "Character does the opposite of X, with no explanation as to why" It'd be like if Arya has her scene with the Lannister army and says she's heading to Kings Landing to kill Cersei, and the next time we see her is...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    So I went back to read her plot synopsis, and I guess you're right -- it's just that she's a dyke that I don't like about her I guess. That said, I noticed this from last season, "Euron wins the Kingsmoot by proposing to marry Daenerys Targaryen and help her exact brutal vengeance on the...

    I'd say that book readers like Jaime a lot more. His redemption arc in the books actually made sense. TV show Jaime is fucking baffling.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If so, they've really misread everything. Ellaria and Yara are both reprehensible characters. Completely unlikable. Honestly, seeing Ellaria's torture made me like Cersei a bit. Despite all their efforts to portray her as "Darth Cersei" this season.

    Is that just a PVP thing though? Because I'm pretty much PVE only. Maybe that's why I don't see the fuss over accuracy.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except it was all built on this ridiculous premise that Dany needed to divide up her forces to somehow win. The idea that her massive army of Unsullied, 3 dragons, and Dothraki couldn't take the city is ridiculous. And considering Cersei is a fucking monster, the Dothraki invaders not being...

    Why tree over basilisk? Seems like the extra AP would be better? I got a tree belt this weekend, so I won't be upset if it's better. This weekend my goal was to TRI my awakening (want to hit 150 AP). It's the green one, which I know people say not to bother with, but I don't see myself getting...

    And yet, we had a scene this week with Sansa talking logistics about food stores and even piddly shit like not lining steel armor in leather during the winter. It just shows a lack of quality writing. It's not necessarily "bad," it's just that it could be a whole lot better. Just cut the Sansa...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This actually brought up a good point. Arya wasn't too far from Winterfell; maybe halfway between there and Kings Landing. And yet in the time she's been traveling, Euron has sailed basically around the entire continent from KL to Casterly Rock. What the fuck is taking her so long?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I guess I give them the benefit of the doubt on this one because everyone traveled far at once, except for Jaime. Jon - Dragonstone from Winterfell, long sea travel Unsullied - Casterly Rock from Dragonstone (started previous episode), probably the longest journey Euron - Kings Landing...

    Ah, my bad. I mis-read and misunderstood what you were saying. I actually didn't realize it cost 10 energy to do "remote" node investment. I don't pay nearly enough attention to my energy, to be honest.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but I couldn't give less of a shit about PVP in this game. Also, regarding your investing in nodes, I swear I've read that investing for worker gathering doesn't do anything. Anyone confirm one way or the other? Energy investment for worker nodes •...

    I'm semi-new still, so take my advice with a grain of salt. For workers, I recommend going with a Heidel/Velia network to start. Connect the two cities, and connect nodes from them. Maple is really good, and there are quite a few nodes near Heidel. Can make plywood which sells really well to...

    I only went with Heve because of the free Roaring Magical Chestplate or whatever. Just one less piece I need to worry about enchanting. I actually started with Grunil I think, and I kind of wish I'd stuck with it. Because sakkath is right, boss armor is fucking retarded. By the time I get...

    Your choice is Heve or Grunil. Lots of people like Heve because you can break up the set. Grunil has set AP though. Pick one and run with it.

    Quests are really only good for CP. The exception is the black spirit quests (not sure if this includes story or not, but similar), which are the ones you're getting inventory space from. And yeah, good luck getting anything from the marketplace that is Pearl items. I've got a few cosmetic...

    It seems like maybe they don't realize how quickly a fad game like this can end when people move on. I don't think it's going to take much for a mass exodus. Like has been said, the game was almost entirely built on word of mouth and streamers. That's a fickle group. The other possibility is...

    The only reason the bitch even has dragons is because of Varys and Illyrio. Holy shit dude. Seriously, the ONLY reason Daenerys is even a player in the show is because of those two.

    Varys has been around a while though. He was in Essos and they sailed across the Narrow Sea together. Why the fuck was this happening at Dragonstone? I still don't think I'm wrong. Read the history of Varys. Dude was loyal as fuck to the Targ's.

    Eh? You're kind of forgetting about the whole fact that Varys is the one who smuggled Daenerys and Viserys to Essos to be taken care of by Illyrio in the first place. Varys is the only reason she's even alive, and is the one behind bringing her (or her brother) back to Westeros to rule. I...
