7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[Mortex]

You forgot Hardcore
Which is the version of WoW I play next to FFXIV.

I honestly just love the feeling of that suddenly I can die and it be the end, this gives me much more satisfaction whenever I play and makes everything I earn or do feels more impactful.

But yeah lets not forget BFA & SL which was the absolute low point but DF was in the good direction and they really nailed it with TWW now (even though I play more classic HC).

True I forgot HC because I don’t enjoy it but it’s an option. While ff14 has no content options for 4-6 months with the same money per month

Everything in the expansion so far is all about watching a movie (cutscenes) and reading a book (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah). I will be skipping the entire story for the first time in 7 years. There is very little content for us to do after the cutscenes.I don't want to watch a movie starring Wuk Lamat. I want to PLAY a game.

People keep acting like this is a new phenomenon. I've been running an alt character through old content (post-Heavensward right now). You know what it is? Cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, talk to three townspeople, cutscene, kill one mob, cutscene, cutscene, walk, walk, walk, talk, talk, talk, cutscene, talk to three townpeople, find a guy for cutscene, cutscene. This has ALWAYS been the story, for ten years now.

Only that the HW story was far more enjoyable to me at least. I agree, the whole quest design just boils down to those points you mentioned but at least the whole plot holing it all together was enjoyable in my eyes.

She doesn't sound half-asleep at the wheel, which is better for the situation.

Now it sounds as if Wuk hasn't had a drink of water in hours. Still not great.

[Embran]

She's yelling at someone beneath the crushing hand of a giant mech that she's lifting up. I think she sounds appropriately hoarse lol.

I think she did a good job.

That does actually sound better, to be fair.

Although I wish they hadn't had that sequence in the first place. I still hate that Queen Eternal clearly said that WE were "the single greatest threat" only for Wuk Lamat to gatecrash the fight to (apparently) demonstrate that Queen Eternal was wrong about who the greatest threat was.

I can't help but notice that the lines before the infamous SPHEEEEEN sound so terrible in comparison to the following ones, lmao

Uhm...I don't wanna open pandoras box by discussing the VA again, that has been done so much it's a dead horse by now. And I know they tried to do better but...while she doesn't sound half asleep now, which is a good thing, the voice still sounds...kinda off... :/

That being said, while I couldn't really do much of the MSQ yet, so far Wuk Lamat has appeared in each single scene. Even in the scenes for the 24man raid, while not being present, she is still mentioned. But yeah, since this was foreshadowed in all the interviews already, that isn't very surprising at least. Doesn't help much making me want to get into the story, though, but that's just me personally.
Edit: So far, she has still been in every. Single. Cutscene. We never get a break. Never ever.
