Why should any of us root for Wuk Lamat?

[Mika_Zahard]

No, I mean he uses his accounts for RMT. So how do we stop people buying gil so he has no business.

SE allegedly bans gil-sellers, so just report him for RMT?

Oh, I know. It's because we are the Warmonger of Light. We make sure we don't do enough or act or help idiots. By doing so we make sure we have more people to murder. Levithan only got summoned because we silently stood there watching.

Dawntrail has.. hunt of random monsters with some random naive character that wants us to rope into political stuff on unrelated continent?

This is the forums and the reddit people ngl


As for why? We shouldnt. The reason probably wont be a good one during the msq. We’ll be forced to help whether or not we want to. She is very annoying so if I had the chance I would help any other person. We got monster dudes or a catboy we could root for.

It feels particularly silly now that they've spelled out that both Koana and Zoraal Ja have actual credentials that would make them potentially good leaders.

I'm not sure why they're even pursuing the "illusion of choice" angle with the 6.55 MSQ letting you say you'll wait and see before deciding whether or not you're getting involved because it'll just feel more aggravating when you are inevitably forced to play along.

What’s annoying about this whole succession crisis is it’s only going to go one of three ways with the fourth way that I want it to go being beyond square

1) we will rigidly stick to wuk lamat because the WOL gets no agency
2) Wuk will informally drop out early and we end up supporting the one Wuk throws in behind
3) something with solution 9/the city of gold makes the crisis irrelevant and they all end up allied

I’d rather us go to tural meet the other 2 non warmonger candidates and then actually get to throw our support behind the one we want

The hook for DT is so short and meaningless they have given us zero reason why we shouldn’t support koana and right now knowing what I know I’d much rather support koana over Wuk

Guessing #3 personally. The release trailer shows what could be assumed to be an invasion by a technologically advanced civilization. If that IS the case, it could be the crisis that makes the succession issue irrelevant.

I think that’s a big problem with what they have chosen to reveal so far

Wuk lamat credentials basically amount to “I don’t want the warmonger on the throne and I’m going to use the WOL to make sure that doesn’t happen”. So basically she doesn’t have to win the two headed mamulja just has to lose. However 6.55’s hook was weak and did nothing to show off wuk’s competency. If anything it painted her in a bad light

Now we suddenly have the credentials of the two other “good candidates”

Koana- pros- amazingly smart and archon of sharlayan who wants to use technology to improve the lives of the people of tural
Cons- could be argued to be a carpetbagger (I don’t know if this is common political terminology or unique to Australia so it basically means someone with no connection to the local area gets dropped into the area by the political party just assuming they will win on name alone) and also might not respect tradition

Single headed mamulja- pros- good war commander and had the respect of the common soldiers so is likely to have the power to maintain stability
Cons- may struggle with diplomacy

When I have the choice between those 2 and the intrigues both bring what is wuk lamat actually offering here

Perhaps I've missed something, do you know he's doing RMT or just speculating?

The curse of a filler arc taking too long and the setup arc not taking long enough. Hopefully SE realizes that for future expansions and doesn't do that again.

As for Wuk Lamot, my WoL is more intrigued by the prospect of visiting Tural moreso than anything else, but if we get a tournament arc I feel obligated to demolish the competition. As a player I am interested in seeing Wuk's character develop though.

Levithan only got summoned because we silently stood there watching.

We were also surrounded by sahagin and Serpent Reavers in sufficient numbers to hold the WoL, Thancred, Y'shtola, Yugiri, Merlwyb, and a small unit of Maelstrom troops at bay. And Merlwyb kept popping the high priest in the head the entire time, it just didn't work because he kept body surfing. But sure, we stood by and did nothing.
