7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[Dirwen]

SE will keep pushing wuk Lamat until everyone loves her. People are dumb and will gladly accept the brainwashing like the good sheep they are. Social media already proved its an effective method with the shills and bots.

Plus, she only turns up for the victory lap where there are no more serious mechanics, so it's not exactly surprising that an NPC whose programming instruction is "output a respectable amount of damage until the boss is dead" is capable of defeating the boss at that point. It's just a matter of how long you want to have to wait, and not really any different to doing the same stunt with a human player soloing.

She gets pushed out from the bossfight at the beginning because she is not a real threat, then she swoops in, outdamages everyone and curses us with a stultifying buff as if she is the reason we can break our limits. Its eye rolling at best.

Objectively, you are right of course, but in this instance, it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth especially after the already Wuk Lamat glorifying storytelling of the MSQ.

Is it just me or was she not shown it the trailer, except for some wide battle shots? xD

It just feels like something people are only going to discover if they're actively looking for reasons to object to her.

Like it or not, she was the main character of the story, and our character likes her and is the sort of person to get a positive boost from fighting alongside their friends. I don't see anything offensive about it.

There's nothing inspiring about her though and this is the big issue with her as a character the story is written that we bestest friends when she's frankly so unlikeable

I hope...I _pray_ that in Sphene Ex we won't have to protect her, heal her, see a cutscene with her or have her in the fight in any way at all.
I don't know if my mind will last through this.
In the trailer during the short sequence where they showed the Sphene fight, it looked like the part of the fight before the transition starts(everyone is pushed back and kneeling).
Might have been taken from the normal mode...but still, it's a scary thought...

Endsinger EX started at the Scion bubble, so I could see Wuk breaking reality being placed near the beginning of Sphene EX(assuming it isn't the opening cutscene and the footage of the mandatory Down for the Count is from normal).

That was the problem is she was the main character who had an overbearing amount of screen time. We didn't get a chance to do a single thing in the expansion and from the looks of the new trailer Wuk Lamat is in every single scene and dungeon, it's not changing which is a big problem.

Least the preview video had the good sense to only feature a half-second of Wuk lol.
