Is watching a football game the same as playing a foodball game?

It will be a completely different experience - but as long as you enjoy it… who cares? You do what brings you joy.

Not really a strategy guy but I guess I really should try this one one day

Antiquary feels… weird? I don’t get the card connection. Also the theme in the trailer looked a bit out of place to me and kinda hoped it was engi, not thief :D

Loving the Troubadour name though. Leaves Minstrel to be a joke it was and is more unique than a simple Bard.

Evoker is just right. Nothing too special, but also not weird. Spec looks cool as well

LSW1 was really bad time to bounce off. I didn’t replay the entirety of it yet, but they did fairly good job with it I think.

Enjoy!

Thanks for this mindfuck

Oh. So this is literally swordbreaker. Lovely.

My frame reference for a “swordbreaker” is a parrying dagger, not for actual blade breaking.

This could just be me only having European fencing background, but that couldn’t have been very effective, no? Like yeah, the blade wouldn’t slide well but it doesn’t look that good for catching it.

It can be a bear getting back into it after 3-4 years staring at an inventory full of unrecognizable icons

This and the fuckton of systems and content types piled one over the other. GW2 can be incredibly overwhelming for returning players.

“Then call 911”

Looking forward to it. Especially for the elite specs. There are several good ones, but none of the current ones hit quite right for me yet.

Btw, I’d love to hear what about this expac specifically got you on GW hype train after so long.

Yes, I very distinctly talk LotR only.

As for Hobbit, the Maple films edit made it quite ok and cuts most of the questionable stuff. Still too much Alfrid though. I hated Alfrid more than the love triangle if you’d believe it.

Ypu mean the Nazgul on their dragons would just shrug? I’d imagine they have balistas or other warmachines that could make the traveling above Mordor uncomfortable.

Sauron never thought they would want to destroy it. If they did the most obvious beeline towards Mt. Doom, he would realize this and would make it impossible.

There certainly are things I liked better in the books, I remember that much. But when judging entirety of books vs entirety of movies movies were better in my opinion.

(I’m only talking LotR itself ofc)

Eh. It is a popular meme but I think even with the info the movie gives it is pretty clear why. They need to go in secret and Sauron and Saruman have spies/scouts about (like the Sarumans birds).

And even if they flew to near Mordor undetected, the giant freaking Eye would spot them - if the patroling Nazgul wouldn’t spot them first.

I watched and loved the movies before reading the books so my opinion may be biased, but I think Lord of the Rings movies were more enjoyable than books.

I see how the books were great in their time and the worldbuilding of the books is amazing - but the movies do great job at streamlining the story and making it fun.

“Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

Perfect candidate for the immortal snail that would be out to get you.

With the decoy snail sidekick of course.
