And the Vaal, being our resident pseudo-Mesoamerican culture

You know, you can call me an idiot, but I never thought of the Vaal as mesoamerican or anything else. Sacrifice of the Vaal was my first EP and I thought of the whole Vaal scene as pretty original and it stuck that way in my head. YES, even with some of the unpronounceable names that remind you of Aztecs or Mayans. Wife who has advanced degree in anthropology never said anything about it either. Even with the knowledge of the Mayan culture.

Go figure. Some of the vaal bosses they added more recently should have been a clue. This is how I can enjoy some bad fiction. I just go along for the ride. Fuck it. It's a game.

Sorry, but probably any person with two eyes -and a little bit of knowledge on the subject- would have realized that Atziri, was some sort of reference to mesoamerican cultures. Just like Karui -in my eyes- are a reference Maori cultures.

This is why I like GGG, they take the risk to address all these cultures, without sticking with the -at this rate- generic Usian/European/Asian concept.

Well, I did say you can call me an idiot. ROFL

I know very little about the subject though.

I’m with you. I take it all at surface value. I’m ignoring the people who are crying about cultural appropriation and making sure I’m not a hypocrite by completely not taking the time to look into anything for some rediculous reason to get offended. It’s just a game.

This person, quicksixteen said it best, "I take it all at face value."

That would be me. This is succinct which, btw, I am not.

This is what the GF calls 'spotting the zippers',

I always thought spotting the zipper was a reference to seeing the zipper on the back of the costume in one of those creature from the black lagoon dopey movies. But I guess she is tracing it to the familiar.

I have a TRULY irritating cousin that you cannot watch a movie with. She sits there and says this or that makes no sense and then runs on and on about the hows and whys making you miss half the movie. OMIGOD Just shoot me next time.

im sure it will be fun for a few weeks but can it remain fun for the whole league? most get boring quite quick.

That League's description actually sounds a bit like you are homicidal maniac who gets back in time just to murder innocent people (extend timer with Vaal's blood) and whatnot doing their chores, just for fun this time around. We could kill civilians before in Oriath square, but that was about it and game didn't enouraged us to do it in any way. Now entire League is about mass murdering people in the past in order to reap benefits in the future.

Though when you enter Incursion, mobs will attack you first like all the other monsters, right? So, it's fine? Can this be considered self-defense even though it's you who invade their territory (though same applies to maps and it's kinda fine?)? Is it?

its way better than doing the same old 5 year olds plastic lunchbox version of lord of the rings like most of the lame "fantasy" worlds you see in rpg games. Anyone doing cartoon elves and orcs in 2018 should be lined up against a wall and shot, anyone doing something different gets props proportional to how far away from anime lotr it is.

I hope they will optimize game... I think im not the only one who have problems with lags or freezes.

New league sound cool, but how can i enjoy it if im freezing. :D
