the ability to take the console wherever you like is also very novel I can imagine taking this thing on trips easily I need to get a USB to Type-C cable to charge it conveniently though.
>>327150 this is pretty decent but i was thinking more along the lines of something specific so like "yo i'm going to this movie on saturday hmu if you wanna come" right
I know how that is I almost never ask anyone to do anything
Anno
like i really just don't like them that much i do like them, and want to hang out with them sometimes, and a lot of people are great parts of a big friend group, but aren't so great when its just me and them but, sometimes being at home doing nothing sounds more appealing than spending time with certain people and I can't just dick it up and be like "listen nigga i just straight up don't wanna hang out with you" and make it shitty when we do eventually see each other again
>>327161 right O B V I O U S L Y bitch, obvious to the point of me being insulted that you would throw that out there but then they ask a second time, maybe a third time and I continue making up bullshit lies until the same conclusion occurs where I'm the asshole
TN
>>327163 i dunno, not taking the polite hint eventuallynis equally assholeish behaviour
Anno
oh so you're trying to invite them but dont want them to come? or am i way off track
TN
when did this turn from refusing
Anno
idk i turn down invitations to do stuff all the time and i dont think anyone thinks it's rude or assholish maybe i'm just around chill people but it's just like, yo wanna do somethin nah not today man i'm busy / i'm tired / i just wanna fuckin lay in bed all day people understand
>bulma always has the dragonballs >vegeta wants to beat goku >vegeta has yet to wish for a combined hyperbolic time chamber and gravity training center What the fuck Vegeta Just get on this
Anno
it being canon or not doesn't matter if we're talking about reasons there could be so few planets with life
also the bigger issue is when he was being thrown around by Bibidi millions of years ago that lasted for decades or centuries or millenia before he was sealed
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and more over his whole reboot as "cosmic force of destruction that wakes up to rampage the galaxy and then goes to sleep" instead of "magic creature created by bibidi"
well i'm working from the pretense that there was, at one recent point, a thriving planetary market and frieza would send saiyans to clear all life from planets prior to destroying vegeta so somewhere between then and now, there's probably something that occured that makes the life-holding planets much scarcer if you just wanna go by "oh well it wasn't mentioned in canon" then i guess that's it and we can end the conversation no fun allowed
>>327207 Yeah but the problem here is that the fat buu on earth is not really the Majin Buu it is the buuified essence fo the kaioos he absorbed the actual buu got wiped out and is now an earthling somewhere
i don't see why kid buu, after blowing up earth, couldn't have scouted out planets with life and blown them up before going to the underworld >>327214 how do you know it was instantly? because it was the next panel in the manga? that's fuckin dumb
>>327213 because he didn't it wasn'ät shown in the manga he reformed an then instantly went after goku and vegeta as he sensed them from afar
sk
Hahah Krillin has become supercop
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>327213 because I have read the manga and they didn't sense him wiping out any planets they were like "shit he could wipe out all of the universe before coming he-poof buu appears"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
buu reforms elder kai asks if they want to fuse again goku and vegeta don't buu senses their ki still floating in former earth teleports there before that he had been reforming

that's about all the time he woulda needed really to get a few planets out

How about now that you're (mostly) adults in the workplace? Do you find it unprofessional? Is it disruptive to the workplace, or a staple for expressing frustration in tense situations?
It's used fairly often in my workplace. It's not professional to use it in front of the normies though.
Maria
>>327320 It wasn't allowed But that made me swear more with my friends Occasionally my dad swore If I didn't understand something with maths or if I fucked up badly he'd sometimes swear Swearing was banned though
Anno
I don't think my eyebrows look good being all threaded like this I already have too much blank space on my face when they're normal
Normies are so weird. They were talking about Game of Thrones constantly a few months ago, and now they are constantly talking about Stranger Things. Normies are a weird hivemind.
Maria
>>327333 don't we do the same thing but with anime?
Depends how 1:1 they'll go with the talent/spell systems. Whether they go patch by patch with talent changes or use the talents from the end of the vanilla. But either warrior or priest. They're the two classes it is easiest to carry with. Probably warrior so I can spam dungeons constantly to get preraid gold asap.
Vanilla wow is so time consuming. I'm not sure I could do it.

I'm looking at smartwatches again. Newegg has a refurbished deal that sells Huawei Watch devices at pretty much 50% of their new unit cost. According to reviews, the warned damages on the devices can range from being heavily damaged to pretty much almost new, so while they might end up a little buffed, there's a good chance I can get one that doesn't look like trash. I've been looking for an affordable wearable that still has a decent look and feature count and this is pretty much the best I've seen. It doesn't help that Canada gets like half the actual smartwatches that actually get released. Huawei's second generation Watch doesn't even have an intended Canadian release, and no one actually sells this original model without importing from the States anyway.
speaking of old people that are insane, it's november 4th a lot of the old facebook crowd thinks that antifa and the DoD are going to use an EMP to disable the US' electric grid so they can stage a violent revolution today
Haha, it'd suck if there was an EMP. I'd lose contact with all my friends! I don't think we have any white parents or small business owners here, though, so I guess nobody would be executed.

It was the kind of environment where I couldn't! The only other person around was ToN and he was just murdering my attempts at humor. I can't work under conditions like that.
No way. Dragons don't take it easy. They're constantly fighting and stealing gold and protecting their gold. And they constantly try to take over the world.
Anno
It feels like I messed my knee a bit over the week. It doesn't really want to be straight without giving me a bit of discomfort. Though it doesn't actually hinder me much so whatever. Makes me a little more satisfied that I got a four-day break at least though.
More like it's stiff and doesn't want to fully straighten out, or start bending again once it gets straightened out. Like I said though it's not a big issue. I don't think it would bother me if I had to do anything rough though.
No way. If you were actually busy, you wouldn't have been able to post. You were able to post, you just didn't see anything interesting. You weren't any more busy than I was!
Yeah it went wonderfully It never goes wonderfully The two nights previous were bad enough that I actually drank a beer after work to calm down I never do that But tonight was just fine
>Originally, the ogres' shirts read "HELL", however in this edited episode, their shirts were digitally edited to read "HFIL". It is supposed to be taking the bottom two lines from the middle letters. The change was due to FCC regulations regarding usage of the word "Hell" in Saturday morning children's programing. Freedom of speech has always been very important in the United States

I'm more preferable to a wearable device that looks more like a traditional watch. The FitBit models that try to be more watch-like than fitness band don't quite fulfil my aesthetic requirements. But it's really hard finding a union of aesthetic choice, features, and affordability. Especially in Canada. But Newegg is offering Huawei Watch models at 50+% off -- though they're strictly refurbished models. It's still a pretty good deal, putting the watch at ~250 CAD after shipping and taxes.
Kirara 🦃
I've heard Huawei makes some good ones, but I don't know anything about any individual models.

a blood red sky behind the mountains alone bears witness to blood play of the youth bullet meets them both and stops still the air stirs from the meaningfullnr'ess meaninglessness only the meaninglessness cannunderstand it
man finnosh songs literal translations get weird
Anno
>>327762 Previously, their first generation Watch line fulfilled pretty much all my categories besides affordability, so the price docking really good for me. Feature-wise, it operates pretty well as a fitness device too, coming with a heartrate monitor and cooperation with fitness apps. And they updated that model line to run Android Wear 2.0, so I wouldn't be behind software-wise compared to a more recent model. It's got a microphone too so I think I could even do Google Assistant stuff too.
>>327764 Oh, that's pretty neat. The heartrate monitor, I find, is really nice. But that might just be because of my circumstances, haha. I'd kind of like if my FitBit could do more stuff, but I do like it.
Oh, I dont really count the twins or Sae but I think theyd be in 3
ToN
>>327766 Is my taste really bad? Rika has good taste and has Makoto up top, so i fogured I was doing well
Anno
>>327766 Oh huh, this series of Yuuki Yuuna is only six episodes? I don't think Rika knows that. >>327770 Ah I see. I guess things are definitely going to go all the way into ZETSUBOU next episode.
It makes me a little sad that kawakami seems to prefer the maid outfit since I like her plainclothes more
Anno
>>327766 I'd like having a heart-rate monitor because I like having more clarity. I'm kind of suspect that a fitness app can accurately measure calories burned and workout intensity without getting information like that. Or at the least, having access to that information should only help boost accuracy.
FitBit looks like they're interested in moving more into smartwatch territory than previously before, but as far as I can tell, even their most watch-y models are still pretty much fitness wearables. My mother has one and my dad has a Garmin watch which is a bit more of a masculine, beefier take on it, and they both like them a lot. He even got me one for last Christmas, but I can't bring myself to wear it because the make of it is just too...well, not for me.
TN
snow has consumed all frost is raping this land swans are frozen stuck in the lakes
>>327769 Yeah, I guess Togo will be born next episode but at least we know no one dies. I guess. Maybe death would be better, though. It's kind of sad, though. I really like this cast of characters. I like the first cast, too, of course, but this one is just a little more cohesive while the other one is like, two groups within their big group. I wonder if they'll kill God.
>>327773 Yeah, FitBit doesn't have any good smart watches, yet. Gotta find one that suits you, though.
Well, I liked Makoto, she was my favorite. Kawakami was cute in teach mode, but she gets a major deduction for being an utter failure as a maid. She somehow gets less cute when she puts on a maid uniform, and her personality just isn't cut out for it. Maids can be good servants or they can be selfish, but she's a whiny maid which is just a waste. My opinion of Hifumi was neutral.
You left out Chihaya, who is super cute. You also didn't mention Haru.
Yeah it kind of makes me sad she really likes being in maid mode since her normal stuff is way cuter.
>>327815 Haru and Chihaya are in tier 3, but yeah I think Haru is crazy adorable. Tier 4, which is lowest, I still like those two but they just arent anything special for me if that makes sense. Tier 3 is still a lot of points since all the characters are so good.
ToN
I didnt get to do kuch of Haru's confidant at all last run
>>327845 coupons but close enough really like getting a free drink wih a sandwich or something or one of their more expensive drinks one time there was free ice cream
The McDonald's app up here can also be used to order something while not actually being at the store. Which is kind of convenient. Starbucks and a couple cafe-like franchises do something similar.
Kirara 🦃
Dunkin does that, I know I've used that before
ToN
Yeah I also have the dunkin app but there isnt ine around here which sucks
Anno
I've never used it, but maybe it might be useful. I stop for coffee from McDick's whenever I've got nightschool and some times the lines there are really appalling. Being able to walk in and just grab it would be convenient. But I'd have to time out when best to order it so the coffee doesn't cool too much or they outright toss my order.
Kirara 🦃
I only used it once. It didn't really seem that useful although the system was easily abusable. They leave the prepared food at a pick-up counter and nobody checked to see if it was actually me. I just walked in, picked it up, and left. You could probably just wait for an order to get put up and go grab it.
ToN
Yeah dunkin's app service is weird. I asked if I could take my stuff and they were like "just take it" and didnt ask or anything. I dont mean they were rude about it but like >>327853
>>327860 oh i see you said the same thing but i didn't notice because you didn't quote me i'm going to err on the side of being glad that it didn't go through with another anime
>>327867 Tilde mentioned that he thought you might not know Yucky Tuna is ending next episode, sort of. It's divided into 6 episodes of Washio Sumi and then 6 episodes of sequel to S1.
>>327890 Hmm, I don't think that happened. Maybe it'll be in the beginning of the new part. At the end of Yuki Yuuna, I think Togo just cried about Yuki while Yuki kept spacing out until Yuki started talking again.
>>327915 Yeah, that's all she'll really be for. My flier team will have Palla on it usually, so her atk isn't that important.
Although I was thinking about making a healslut Caeda with brave weapon with renewal and aether. She would almost never do damage but she wouldn't take a lot of damage either, and I could use her to heal with whatever damage she does take. The problem with that is that Nowi would have to become an offensive character in order to make room for Caeda. It's possible that Caeda could do damage with enough buffs, but my 5* Caeda with brave weapon has atk in the low 30s, so...
>>327932 This one was a good one to phone in. The bonus unit list was bad, the maps were frustrating to use auto-play on, and you have to choose between getting baited by evil banners or just using a 20% unit.
>>327939 The mini-TT was easy. The last TT I think I only had a 20% unit but the maps were all really easy. The one before that I had Ike for and he was amasing.
Oh wait, the last TT was black knight. I had Ike for that one and he killed everything. The one before that was the Hector one, and that one had really easy maps.
bangu
do you think maybe the internet is too powerful for mankind
>>327947 The liberals are really crazy like that, too, I guess. But the ultra right is a special kind of paranoid that has people walking around with a bunch of weapons, afraid that antifa is going to launch an emp.
>>327949 >>327945 I really can't equate this kind of misinformation use. outside of the frame of: "People have read something that happened to not be true and believed it."
Kyannyagi
Apparently tomorrow is "bank transfer day" in America.
>>327949 It looked to me like a bunch of super conservative people were getting excited at the idea that they may get to shoot some antifa. Which is really the same issue that the ultra left has, they want to collapse society and kill all capitalists.
It's the same thing, really. Nothing gets people excited like the idea of being able to visit violence upon people under the guise of moral supremacy.
>>327953 Well, yeah, the ultra left does want to do that, but the circumstances here are entirely different. The left doesn't get afraid of a shitposter on Twitter because the left is shitposting on Twitter. The right saw a ridiculous shitpost, reported it while ignoring all the facts, added to it, and are scared now.
>>327954 I don't really follow the news that closely, but most of the stuff I saw was people posting their guns and going "wow, can't wait to shoot people".
Even if you set that aside, the left has things they're unreasonably paranoid about too. Like Trump deporting everyone who isn't white, or nazis taking over the country.
Yeah, communists and other types of violent hippies exist, too. They, just like the nazis, have their little non-events where a few people march, too. It's pretty much the same thing. The people in the center won't really care until they're made to.
Kirara 🦃
anyway, my point is, that the Right's paranoia is ridiculous
nazis taking over is possible speaking in terms of reality whether you agree with it being feasible or not is a different matter
Well, the media eats stuff like this up because fear sells.
Kirara 🦃
oh, def that's part of why this is so hilarious they're so paranoid that they believe antifa SUPERSOLDIERS funded by Soros are going to kill all gun owners (communists believe in gun rights) and all small business owners and white parents and the DoD is going to launch an emp to help them, and this is all occurring so that antifa can establish sharia law because they're isis
>>327966 It's hard for me to see it as anything other than both sides being exactly the same. Soros funded supersoldiers are just as ridiculous as ICE agents who are also nazis deporting american children.
>>327970 I think the conservatives are right we need to restrict internet you need to be able to prove you can meme and understand memes to access ban normies
>>327975 There was plenty of paranoia on the left when Trump was elected about ICE deporting every mexican, citizen or not. I remember arguing about it.
Kirara 🦃
>>327976 the liberals were paranoid but the liberals and the left are different
It's a little humorous that this happened, I suppose, but it's also really just a sign of how dangerous the times we live in are. People on both sides would happily slaughter each other if left to their own devices.
Things are pretty tense, but they've always been tense. It's just that enough people couldn't see how tense it was that it looked fine until recently.
What really bothers me is the liberals pretending like everything was great under Obama and pretending he did nothing wrong while condemning Trump for doing the same things Obama did.
>>327983 No, what really needs to happen is for us to bring dueling back. That way the retards can kill each other off and leave the rest of us out of it.
>>327984 That too and a special kind of duel for doctors the doctors duel to knock the others hat off winner gets to keep the others hat and then when doctors meet, good duelists wear like 100 tophats as a tower
What if we just disbanded the US and let the states become countries and they could do what they want, so the people that want health care can go to places that have health care, and the people that want to live in a white ethnostate can go interbreed in their little hole without bothering other people
Koi-
>>327987 first thing you do is take over wyoming and every other state with a nuke in it then you resubjugate every state
>>327997 that is not really how it works, though pure fear is never enough you need force and the force must be used occasionally, so that people know to fear it you use nuke even once and well... that region is no more worthy of holding on to also using too much force will lose you support so much that you will have to keep hammering at every nail way too oft and if your only hammer is an exploding sledgehammer... son you will have no house *soon
>>327997 People will probably settle down a good bit when they realize that collapsing the government means that their iphones will stop working. It's really just a question of if the bottom will fall out and things will be unfixable before then.
>>328001 I dunno if it's so simple. Most of these people aren't just going to stop being mad at the system for making their lives hell. The only ones that are going to stop being mad are the libs that think Trump is the only bad thing and a Dem president will change things.
>>328006 Sure, but just because things might not be as bad as possible doesn't mean people should shut up and deal with the miserable lives they're forced to live by circumstances out of their control.
Honestly, outside of fighting games, doesn't Blizzard just shit out esports or the inspiration of esports?

Samu 🍖 !KW2DbpWwls
it's still a really young game i wonder how it'll grow the next few years
no, no, like, that's okay. THIS IS GOOD. If anything, that's PROOF. Because it's so young and LOOK AT IT It took a longer time for LoL to get to anywhere like this.
>>328041 oh yeah, definitely. There was a bit of pioneering on their part that can't go understated. But my point is more that there are other games from between LoL and OW that would LOVE to be esports that really aren't cutting it.' >>328042 As far as "monoliths" go, it's probably those as well as a couple of staple fighting games. But the fighting game scene is a subgenre in its own.
I think that maybe one of the key features a game needs to be successful is to be easy ot watch.
Games that are like League or Starcraft are easy to watch because it is overhead. Even people who don't know the game can watch it easily. The same goes for a fighting game, since the stage is really small and you can see both characters.
I wonder if it's a case of FPSes not lending themselves well to being esports.
>>328046 >>328045 I wouldn't say so much that FPS aren't easy to watch but they're usually uninteresting. Like CS is a staple because it's been one for years. LAN parties and whatever. You don't really get that kind of thing from something like CoD. I wonder if the constant iterations of CoD games has something to do with that. Because people love competitive multi in FPS but "sticking" to one game is also really important. The minor differences between one game and the next could mean a lot.
Well, the issue I'm kind of thinking about this in the context of is why Overwatch is having trouble sticking where other games have been easily very successful. Overwatch is kind of like a moba in the way it plays. TF2 is similar too, and it never really caught on as a n esport.
...Is it though? Like, I just don't get that kind of feeling from it. People play it and like it and they build tournaments around it. i'd say that a lot of what takes these games to go full esport is the support. Like Kirara said, back when LoL was charging itself up to go full esport, it really wasn't "a thing". It took a long time until suddenly, I'm in the city at one event, and I'm hearing people talking about going to Madison Square Garden because there's a LoL tournament going on. Now, it's "easier" in that we know people actually would put out for it and play. So game companies and whatever are actively trying to push into that space. Success is really on their ability to snag the market.
bangu
>>328049 Overwatch (and to an extent TF2) happen too quickly to adequately spectate In order for them to maintain the idea that they are skillful to play, a lot of the skills and decisions in the game are faster than can be spectated, especially because you have 10 players doing it at once They might benefit from being 4v4 or 3v3 games oh 12 players actually >>328052 watching one player is very different from trying to watch 12 Overwatch lends itself quite nicely to watching a single player execute his skillset but when you have 12 individuals constantly doing shit on low cooldowns, it's much harder
Samu 🍖 !KW2DbpWwls
yet OW is consistently in the top 5 games on twitch hmm
bangu
imagine trying to shoutcast OW keeping up with the tracer doing tracer things while pharah and mercy are doing their thing and bastion is aiming at one target and then suddenly a target behind him
Gameexpo I went to today, rip digiexpo, had an OW tourney going on it during its run
Samu 🍖 !KW2DbpWwls
shrug i'm watching it they focus mostly on the DPS making plays
Koi-
>>328051 >>328053 All that stuff about shoutcasting is true but it's really just on the skill of the SC. They just have to get good at it.
bangu
>>328056 Oh definitely but it might be a while before there's good shoutcasters for OW Tobiwan was probably crucial in Dota2 being as big is it was/is in recent years And good casters in League have highlighted when League is most fondly remembered competitively
>>328057 I'm not a big stream watcher but I feel like there's a lot of weight in actually playing the game. Which is OBVIOUS, yes, but shoutcasters really enhance that. People who know the game know what's getting called out so they know how crazy shit is getting when they start rifling off skills and events happening during large decisive fights. Which is part of why I don't really take too well to most esport games that aren't LoL. I don't play them. I don't play LoL anymore either, but I understand it. I think OW has a lot of future in it. If its present is this good, the future is just relying on Blizzard not screwing it up.
or rather "whichever one has the event happening where money is going down right now" So today, it's overwatch. I don't know about the scene of the rest.
Blizzard's website lists Starcraft, HotS, Overwatch, and WoW Arena for their esports games
I feel really bad for Cliff B. Lawbreakers is an Overwatch too late to show.
Samu 🍖 !KW2DbpWwls
OW does have an overhead map, they don't use it much though
Koi-
You don't really want to watch the action from those anyway. well, not most of the time. It sounds good, but it loses the general thrill of an FPS when you do it. It's nice for replay moments (but even then overwatch has made an entire show of their replays)

>>328068 there was also like no marketing for some reason the gravity stuff looked really cool and it seems like it had some wild and fun mechanics but why was the only marketing like a Twitter ad a week before it came outm
It was pretty bad. Like, it showed at E3 or some other big show at least once and it has Cliff's name attached to it. But there was very little followup from there. And this was WAY before overwatch was even known.

probably the closest to no marketing you can get without actually doing no marketing i didn't hear about it until a week before it came out it had such bad marketing that it started off at like battleborn levels
gw2 will not make it to this level they host tournaments but they're pretty quiet.
Koi-
I think one of the biggest problems with GW2 ever becoming esports is that a good chunk of the playerbase does not give a shit about PvP. In fact, it is probably more accurate to say that the PvE playerbase is at odds with the PvP players. Because of years of attempting to balance the two game modes
>>328081 Combat arena The competitive stuff is pretty cool to watch but because things are tied to a completely different kind of play... TWO different kinds of play for GW2 (PvP/PvE/WvW), you have a really bad time balancing things out.
>>328086 One of the biggest problems with GW2 was that they actually tried to do this. balance their MMO with PvP in mind. That created lots of issues for PvE centric players. >>328089 This is actually a non-issue in GW2 because you can go to PvP arenas immediately after the first mission and be scaled to max level and have all traits unlocked. The only things you wouldn't have access to are like... 3 out of 50 or so sigils / amulets that give different stat setups. But you can just buy those with gold after playing PvP for a while.
And other is time investment since you need max lvl and good gear, which I believe you need to pve means that good amount of your time is spent on that too and not just pvping it up
>>328090 Yeah, it was actually a big thing for the original GW. You could make a PvP only character, and it was already max level. You could unlock additional skills by playing PvP more often. And any skill you unlocked via PvE was already unlocked. But with GW2, even though they had that, what they didn't want to do was separate the balance between the PvE and PvP usage of skills. A good skill in PvE would be broken in PvP. When balanced for PvP use, it would become useless in PvE. Engineers suffered from this a lot but it got better after a while.
gw was fun how you could just respec all your skills on the fly well before a mission but still >fail once >completely change your build >win this time easily
ALSO, I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD BE RESPEC IN GW2 BECAUSE IT WOULD BE REALLY CONVENIENT. I WOULD LIKE TO CLICK A BUTTON AND SHIFT MY SKILLBAR TO A DIFFERENT BUILD OUT OF COMBAT
Has anyone watched the new Kekkai Sensen and also has watched My Hero Academia >>328097 it's annoying as hell, we've been asking since launch A nice button that lets me swap out weapon/armor/traits/skills at once would be fantastic.
>>328096 I just loved switcing from a 1 target nuker to minion summoner to aoe caster with the necro/ele
Koi-
I mean, you don't really do THAT much armor swapping depending on your profession but most or at least a significant amount have one power set and one condition set. and if you swap between those, you're going to be swapping trinkets, weapons, traits, all that >>328100 Necros are condi masters right now. So stuff like bleeds, burns, poisons, and all that. They do have power setups that are ridiculous as well. However, GW2 heals are very minimum. Outside of your main heal skill, they make healing very minimal so you don't have a lot of people who go that kind of route. The Necro has this kind of Life Force mechanic though, that is sorta like that though. Essentially, they use their skills, gain life force, and then they can go into a spectral form (or reaper form if reaper spec). And the life force functions as an additional life bar. They can stay in that spectral form as long as the life force is over 0, then they go back to normal.

is there still necro and do they still have that awesome >nukes and heals you
They gain life force when things around them die. I guess Dark Priest works out well. They have a new spec in the latest expansion but I don't remember much about it other than unintended bugs making them do more damage than they should.
>Practitioners of the dark arts, necromancers summon the dead, wield the power of lost souls, and literally suck the life force from the enemy. Necromancers feed on life force, which they can use to bring allies back from the brink or cheat death itself.
>Scourges channel their life force into the desert sands to summon biddable shades that damage enemies and create shields for their allies. They use punishment skills to torment their enemies, and wield torches to light the path to their destruction. So they lose that death shroud and get shades instead

>>328105 ignorance is bliss and she is ignoramus maximus
i think most amusing take on necromacncy is in diablo, since they are always working towards balance and stabiltiy of the world, while most fantasy always makes necromancy to be evil and twisted and unnatural but diablo, nah these guys are the true defenders of the world and nature
>>328113 Listening to necromancy practicioners in GW2 is subtly like that. Path of Fire is all about Balthazar coming back and trying to get power. All the humans are going crazy because holy cow, it's one of the Six Gods but also he doesn't give a damn about us but also he's a God so perhaps that's normal. So you've got the Balthazar priests all excited and everyone else is going "uhhh, this is bad maybe." But many of the Grenth followers, who was the God representing death, are very focused on that kind of balance of life. You have Grenth and Balthazar followers arguing with each other about values of life.
>>328117 Human necromancers have a lot of respect for the dead that they raise. You hear it in their various voice clips. They call them "friend" or "partner" as they raise them or put them back down. When one of them gets killed, the female Human necros go "But I raised that minion!" There's a kind of bond there. The other races aren't like that. Well, I think the Sylvari are kinda, but the Humans have it most directly.
Definitely respect. Asuran are more along the "these are my tools" lines of thinking. But human necros generally follow Grenth, and respect for the dead is part of the teaching. As is respect for life.
Like an example of someone in GW2 who doesn't have that kind of respect would be Palawa Joko. He was in GW1 too. The Scourge of Vabbi. I don't really remember "what" he is, I thought he was a lich but they make it sound like he actually isn't. Essentially someone who should be dead but isn't dead but also "isn't REALLY" undead. And he uses his ability to not die to live incredibly long and he has very strong necromantic powers and is seen as a God-King to the people in Elona. He doesn't give a fuck about the dead. He just kills whatever gets in his way and then raises them back to do his bidding with tragic irony.
Honestly, travelling through the Domain of Vabbi is really weird because the majority of Path of Fire is people talking about how awful Joko and his awakened are. And then you get to Vabbi which is his kingdom and it's all "Praise Joko, the greatest king who [insert-thing-he-really-didn't-do]"

>>328129 Does he claim to have done that or they just assert things unto him?
He does claim it. Well, he doesnt do it "in game" because of his circumstances but he has universities in the kingdom that teach that as part of the curriculum. Like in GW1, where you actually get to play with Palawa Joko on your team, you and your squad go to defeat Abaddon. Kormir was the Sunspear who finished it all by taking his powers before it all exploded. Joko claims that he defeated Abaddon within his school curriculum.
Joko is essentially really butthurt that Kormir took Abaddon's powers and ascended into becoming a goddess so he made it his life's work to kill the Sunspears and claim Elona.
