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

[Voidmage]

It makes me think of how weirdly infatuated the XIII director was with Lightning.

That’s… actually a really good comparison.
I still remember the moan of the masses when there was no end to her.

Now I wonder how much preproduced Wuk Lamat merchandise is being bunkered at square headquarters with them being afraid to release it.

I think the game forcing me to be Wuk’s best buddy after only knowing her for days is one of the most annoying things.

This particular part of the story I put directly at the feet of Hiroi, why? Because Wuk is Guydelot (from the HW on bard quests) cranked up to 11, from the "we're besties" to "I'm always right about EVERYTHING" and falling upward. I had been trying to remember what jack--s character Wuk reminded me of and then I saw the slideshow of the other stuff Hiroi did, saw the bard quest notation featuring Guydelot and went "AH there it is!"

The "Island Factory Sanctuary" of DT is we reconcider and accept the offer and are given to own a patch of land in the vicinity of Tuliyollal and now have to manage rebuilding the town located in it while also paying taxes. And no, it has no player housing despite literally being "ours". Enjoy

How close exactly to Tuliyollal? And will it allow me to build a very big catapult?

I just like how as divisive as DT is overall, this seems to be the moment everyone agreed was the final nail.

I'm not the biggest G'Raha fan but I find it gauling that out of everyone that could exploit the 'rift in reality' (Wuk should not be calling it that, she is not smart enough to refer to things this way.) it's Wuk and not G'Raha. lol You're telling me the Crystal Exarch couldn't take advantage of the weakning magicks around him and he just got thrown around but the warrior could? Insanity.

I was done the moment bun mom told us flipping the power switch on the endless was totally OK and we shrugged our shoulders, going along with it like some mammet.

It's definitely is because it comes out of absolutely nowhere and it's not really earned or needed.

Wuk is expelled before the fight even begins effortlessly...and then is just perfectly fine to jump right back in when the exact moment she can arises? Where were G'raha and Krile then? Conveniently sent "somewhere else?" Did she eat them off-screen so they wouldn't ruin her triumph over Sphene? Not only that, she suddenly comes into the fight with enough strength to both stun Queen Eternal and completely overpower her? Guess Wuk is a natural at harnessing Dynamis. Also additional fun fact: If you literally sit there for 5-10 minutes and do nothing except keep yourself alive with healing, Wuk CAN solo the rest of the fight because her giant LB always does 50% of Queen Eternals current HP and then she does small chip damage every few seconds.

And yes: I said HER triumph over Sphene. If you remember the dialogue: Wuk is telling Sphene to face HER, not US. On top of that: we can only stand back up after the second Absolute Authority because Wuk's determination is giving us the strength to do so. Once again, Wuk is a natural at utilizing Dynamis it seems. They literally put the "victory lap" trigger at the 30% HP Mark just to absolutely make sure Wuk got her moment of triumph against her big antagonist.

This entire sequence was not needed in the first place and was pretty much forced upon everyone because it is Wuk Lamat's expansion, and the writers have dictated that nothing can be accomplished without Wuk Lamat there in someway.

I WAS excited for Dawntrail and I am NOT excited for the upcoming patch. I was hoping they would go back to the patch every 3 months...Now I simply don't care. I liked Wuk Lamat from 90 to 93. I kept waiting for the story to pick up and it draaaaagggggeeeedddddd! Bring back what made FFXIV fun and exciting please!

I own a house and I don't want to lose it. I may unsubscribe for 28 days - resubscribe for 30 days - unsubscribe for 28 days - until there is something fun and exciting in the game again! Endwalker started great and then faded fast. Dawntrail faded fast...

And yet, the issue with Wuk Lamat is that she was not confident enough, right? /s

Not gonna lie, I cringe internally whenever I get into that fight. That awful killsteal by Wuk Lamat just overshadows the otherwise cool fight. Of course, having us defeat Queen Eternal by ourselves would have been a stain on Wuk Lamats perfect track record, and we can't have that now, can we?

That awful buff you get where she is inspiring you because she is such an awesome and strong character was the icing on that shitcake.

Oh silly you, of course our dearest Wuk Lamat learnt all there is about magic-quantum-programming while we were in Shaaloani with Erenvill, she's perfect after all, that's no problem for her!
She was only suprised by the 'rift of reality' because she missed a ';'.
She was in total control all the time!
How dare you speak ill of our perfect Dawnservant!

Oh believe me, if you press a msq-defender on this, I'm sure they will find a way how that makes totally sense and that YOU just dOn't UnDeRsTaNd!

Or they are smart enough to not even attempt to defend this but that's me giving them too much credit.
