Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

I mean, you must be really searching for reasons to be mad to NG+/alt the MSQ, go to a solo duty and test out if by not playing the game things happen. When you play the game normally, you also attack the thing and you don't really care.

I noticed that even without NG+. When my own Damage as a Viper was insignificant (1-2% of enemy HP), and attacks from Wuk Lamat and Alisae just deleted a quarter of enemy health bars I stopped doing things, watched a bit, and found that my contribution to this duty was simulated. Fake. This pretty much drained all the fun out of the game part for me, because I like it when my contribution matters. I don't play games to get carried through them.

I thought JP was full of the good players, them not being able to do solo MSQ duties is kind of odd to imagine.

That guy is lying because even disabled player in japan can do savage.

Im not even going to reply to the DEI defenders here. The people in companies who push for it and people who support them here are the reason why we get such awful media nowadays. I have nothing to say or prove to you silvermoon or remi. But I can imagine why both you dudes do.

Don't know why you felt the need to indirectly reference me when I haven't posted at all. I don't agree with your take that Wuk Lamat's English VA is a leading reason as to why Dawntrail sucks and I don't agree that the English version would be a better experience with a different VA.

There's so much structurally, narratively, tonally and executionally wrong with DT that it is divisive in all corners of the world in all languages. There's so much actual, tangible discussion to be had about CBU3's stale, predictable and unsustainable development pipeline, Square Enix's lack of talent nurturing for future project leads, and Hiroi being a hack, before we even think about broaching the more nebulous subject of DEI.

But hey, if people would rather blame a bogeyman than actually holding Hiroi and Yoshi-P's feet to the fire over this then be my guest. Making her EN VA non-trans won't magically make the character less of an irritating, suffocating, vapid, resentment-inducing Poochie written by a failed theatre owner trying to shove his teenage furry power fantasies into a beloved MMO.

Have a nice day.

umm..... so I went to certain solo duty lv98, decided to literally doing nothing and this happen

i didn't even dodge..... and this is on default difficulty btw...

so, why are we still here?

Kind of poetic that the story fight only works if you don't question it, just like the rest of the writing

nice projecting dude. i don't need any reason, i already has my alt to help friends raiding since SHB. and FYI i skipped all DT cutscenes because idw to be mad at it all over again, but solo duty i cannot skip can i?

also the reason i don't do anything is because i notice after a few second that THEY do more dps than me
like, my Namikiri hit 47k every 2 mins but Wutlmao do something 50-60k every few rotation, and Alis do RDM slash 20k each for 6 times consecutively somehow

that's where i dropped everything in duty

Because Wuk Lamat needs your help comforting 3 civilians for her. She might even reward you with a sight of her clenched fist sometime after it!

First playthrough, first time seeing it, 14th of July, 02:14PM AEST.

Healers notice, that's for sure. When you don't have to cast a single heal and you are watching the tanks rotation... intrepid heal, intrepid strike (I think it was) and so on...

Hang on, why isn't she mitigating?
Hang on, why isn't she getting vuln stacked despite standing in vulns?

It's at that point you try this:

I noticed it the first and only time I did it too. I just didn't dare not do anything because surely they wouldn't make the NPCs do enough damage to avoid an eventual wipe if you weren't at least helping a little. Silly me.

Mm, the other thing that irked me, no end, was the Valigarmander trial, I think, with the new snowball mechanic. I was in the wrong place, and I was healer with Urianger co-healing. I died in the first freeze and yeah, then got caught. Within acceptable for a first time try - fine I thought, we can restart.

Nope. Out of the blue when the instance should have reset - must reset to teach the healer - a magic "By the Power of Poochie you are magically given a second chance" or some such idiocy. Uri was running, I should NOT have been offered a Rez outside of him doing it properly. Pooches intrepid Rez is just mind boggling, during a mechanic when people are running from the snowball I got iced in. Magic healer intrepid-rezzes and Magic Tank Intrepdid-one shots to skip a DPS are not the way trials work. They are trials. They are "you need to be this tall to go on this ride"

Well they should be.

Once NPCs start playing the game this way, the level 100 savage queues will of day one players - who are 4 years old - will be hell.

So, she can heal any damage, out DPS an entire 8 man party, and return people from the brink of unconsciousness by just being so loved by everyone. Step aside, WoL, the world has a new hero.
Reading these things just cements my suspicion of Wuk Lamat being someones self-insert mary sue OC. Which is a shame cause Lamat is not exactly a bad character, she is just awfully written into everything.
