It was good. I... kinda didn't like how you added Amon(given that he was a terrible villain in LotV), but I guess I'll just wait and see how it turns out.
Eh I say he done about as well as someone can with Amon.

Honestly Amon only resisted to give everyone a big villain to unit against in the end game.

Man I hate how Blizzard seems to have this obsession with making their villains either a non threat or tied to one or two bigger threats.

I agree that so far, Amon seems to be done well.

That being said, Amon was about as generic as a villain can possibly get, so...
 
BURN! BURN IN THE DEEPES-
*ahem*
Sorry, instinctive response.

I don't like Amon. He was quite literally the worst villain ever.

I'm going to be brutally honest I really hate how Blizzard handled Amon. Amon's literally an edgelord personified.

Look at these fucking lines.

I see your doubt, your fear. You are so alone. Mewling in the darkness. Let me release you. All of you, from the suffering of this life. The Infinite Cycle of strife and anguish is at its end.
You strive to maintain this flawed existence, but you will not stop me
Now you see. With the essence of the great betrayer, your people fulfill their purpose. My host body is forged. With it, I bring an end to the cycle. An end to infinite suffering

He radiates maximum EDGE and GRIMDARK and EVULZ and he's just a horrible horrible villain who honest to god is trying too hard. If you have to say shit like 'Infinite cycle of strife and anguish' in a fucking melodramatic tone in order to try to scare someone you could probably squish like a bug anyways you know you've failed as a villain.

It's like seeing that gothic emo kid threatening a really buff kid with threats of darkness beyond darkness and twilight above the dawn and all sorts of cryptic as fuck dark phrases.

And then the buff kid just kinda punches the daylights out of the emo kid.

So yeah I really don't like how Blizz handled Amon.

insert any word at the end there and you get Blizzards history of game design

I'm going to be brutally honest I really hate how Blizzard handled <blank>
<wow expansions>
<pvp balancing>
<the entirety of Diablo 3>
im not saying everything they do is bad but by this point they should be doing better. i do like Heroes of the storm and starcraft tho.

Also yeah Amon was a grimderp idiot who only got as far as he did because plot armor.
Amon wasnt mass effect 3 ending bad but he certainly wasn't good enough to be the big bad of Starcraft.

They got more than a few things right. Re: Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm.

What really makes me salty is Amon's fucking goals. Like, the Overmind had reasons. The Overmind had goals. The Overmind was seeking perfection which is why it did what it did. I could get that.

(Of course then blizzard fucking retconned everything but let's not open up that can of idiocy)

Amon doesn't have any fucking goals. Amon wants to break the 'corrupt cycle'

But why? 'Because life is suffering and' no. Bad. That's awful and terrible.

It's just shit-tier writing to the point where I could probably come up with a more coherent plot.

And I suck at writing and plotting.

Anyways: Enough bitching about Starcraft's plot. Back to the discussing of things that're related to the story.

If the Ethereals have fought the Zerg before is there a chance that some Zerg survived since it's really difficult to kill the Zerg for good?
 
I just remembered. You've gotta make sure the Council Spokesman survives. He's too boss to die.

Spoilers.

If Zerg did fight the Ethereals I'd say there's a good possibility they're still around, assuming they decided to stay.

(Looks at my notes.)

Uh yeah sure. He's totally gonna survive. Yeeep. Lemme just- No he was totally gonna survive already, I'm just- Totally not editing out a few paragraphs. Nope. Definitely not changing some things around.

I haven't spent any money to buy HotS or LotV, but wasn't Amon pissed that the Xel'Naga never actually did anything with their godlike power? They just incarnated, then waited for two species to arise that had the purity of essence and purity of form to emerge and meet, and passed the mantle of Xel'naga unto them?

Yes bu what he wanted to do with those power kinda put him on the bastard evil god -list

Not quite. They forged life in various universes where it was lacking and kept things running smoothly for the whole 'make more of us' thing.

They were pretty lazy, all things considered, but I wouldn't call that nothing. Apparently to Amon it was teh ultimatez sufferings. Guy should've just gotten a damn hobby.
 
The Alien Ruler DLC is just crazy.

Now I'm trying to figure out how I should incorporate it. Problem is I'd be ripping up a good chunk of my plot. Or something.

Bah.

Oh by the way the next few verses have already been rolled for. Take your guesses. All your guesses.

I haven't played XCOM 2 with the new DLC yet. But I do feel the need to point out that you can just ignore it entirely if you so wish.

And on the other tentacle, I'd vote Avatar if this was a quest (thank god it isn't). Things be crazy on Pandora.
 
Please don't bump the thread when there is only three days left to the necro limit without at least posting an omake or something.
As the mods love to point out whenever it's brought up, this is SV, not SB, and SV doesn't have a rule against necroing threads. However, there is also no rule against getting annoyed over it, you just can't take it out on other posters.
Also, just asking when the next chapter comes out(which is what you're doing) is considered rude. It comes when the author is done with it.
This, on the other hand, is very true, even if there is no rule that covers it. It also often times makes an author less likely to post something.

I got bumped this morning after someone rated one of my posts on the 3rd page, back when we were still arguing about cannon size of ultralisks. That was rude too, but I had forgotten about this story because it went radio-silence for awhile. I am in fact not asking about release time, I had an entire conversation with the author on the subject a few pages back. I am checking in to see how he and his drive for writing this is doing.

Congratulations, this sentence caused me to push back any updates by another week.

First of all, RL has been really fucking irritating. I have to finish two papers and study for two tests this week. Yeah, college. So RL takes priority.

And second of all I said these few lines in the first fragging chapter.



Don't expect. Frequent. Updates.

So yes I am going to be taking the piss because quite frankly reading these few lines? Kinda pissed me off to an unreasonable amount. For god's sake it hasn't been a week yet have some patience please.

Edit: Yeah this does sound really petty and immature but I'm actually under a good bit of stress at the moment. I was going to toss an update up during the weekend or something when I actually had time but... Bleck.

Wut? :jackiechan:

I feel like my intent may have been misenterperated. o_O

I was kidding, i didnt actually expect a response at all. Not to mention one as leangthy as that. I apologise for the offense and i hope you feel better!

I kind of snapped.

To quote my post I left on your profile:

I'd like to apologize for snapping at you in my story thread.
It was honestly uncalled for. I'd blame the sheer amount of stress I'm under right now but that's no excuse. Not going to make excuses. I fucked up and I'm very sorry about it.

I'm sorry it's just been a really really bad week for me and that's not even an excuse. I lost my temper in a manner that's quite frankly unacceptable.

A thousand apologies.

We had talked extensively, resolved the issue. We also talked about misinterpretation of messages and not snapping at people. Y u no pay attention!
