The Warrior of Darkness [SPOILER]

[Mimiru_S]

Personally hoping that derplander was just a stand in and that the real WoD will be a darker version of our own characters. Thought since the game is fully out and it was derplander, in stead of us, that leads me to believe that it will actually be him.

It's worth noting that Derplander in the trailers is used as a symbolic representation of us as the players. In the same vein Elidibus referred to the WoD as 'you and yours' implying he was representative of a larger number. I think it's a fairly safe bet that the Warriors of Darkness (plural) will be reflections of our own characters. The single 'Derplander of Darkness' seen in the epilogue was merely representative much like Derplander is in the trailers.

Well I am curious on how they will handle the WoD. After all there are many question I have about them such as..


-Will the WoD have their own voice actors or remain the silent type like our characters?

-Will the WoD represent the possibility of 4.0 being a separate storyline if they plan to give players the possibility to make a choice when they start a new character in 2.0 or 4.0 era?

-How will the WoD be properly incorporated if we are given a Trial or Dungeon where we may face them as a Boss fight?

and etc.

Too many question but only time will answer all.

How would they explain this considering the DRK questline? Sure I may be only at level 45, but that quest alone has revealed all, that Fray is really

ourselves, our dark thoughts and feelings, the actual way you'd think we as players are complaining about why we have to do all this crap.

It would be pretty neat if the WoD mirrored the looks of everyone in the party currently fighting him.

It'd be nice, but as I pointed out in the lore forum, people would try to force everyone to be in a certain party formation so that the fight can be easier. Unless the Warrior of Darkness has his own unique abilities...

He's just a plot device of the DRK quests representative of our internal struggle. It doesn't really have anything to do with the Warriors of Darkness...

There's nothing stopping them giving the Warriors of Darkness our physical appearance in terms of race, gender and CC selections whilst giving them their own unique abilities. They could imitate our appearance without imitating our jobs.

There's something, it might be a separate fight for everybody and not a group trial. Because I'm sure he won't take the appearance of 8 guys.

They could be sneaky about it, so each player only see's their version of the warrior. They could otherwise have the same skills and spells, so gameplay wise no one would be any the wiser.

That, or the WoD just uses moves from every job.
