Thread: Revelations from Patch 4.2

MSQ

CAN SOMEONE THAT ISN'T HAURCHEFANT STAY DEAD. PLEASE. Failing that bring back Haurchefant; everyone else on Hydealyn has to die at least twice for it to stick. I mean it isn't surprising that Zenos is alive/cloned/zombified/possessed but I'm not really sure how much I care at this point. I hope if they are going to bring him back they actually do more than just kill him again in a few patches but given the shelf life of garlean legatus that isn't likely.

Okay so I'm exaggerating but honestly is has gotten to the point that anytime there is a dramatic death scene/injury in the story it actually throws me out of the narrative, because I know that there is a least 50% chance that character will live. Characters rarely feel more than vaguely threatened (which decreases depending on how important they are). The game doesn't kill near enough characters to earn all of the dramatic survivals it does, so I wish they would stop setting them up so frequently in the first place. /endsoapbox.

Otherwise I liked the return to Doma, although I started laughing at my screen when Asahi was threatening the WoL. He was saying all the right words throughout the MSQ but I still wanted to punch him as soon as he started talking so kudos for the VA for that. Subtle this kid ain't, unless it is some sort of double bluff. I think whatever he is involved in is probably a trap for the Popularus as much as it is one for the Scions/Doma/Resistance.

The follow up to the Doman Rev's Toll arc was neat as well. Maybe next patch we can go back to the Steppe?

Omega: Sigmascape

So Midgardsomr has been some sort of Hydaelyn exclusive primal this whole time? That's . . . interesting. Huh. Aaaand once again we have to save Nero in the last chapter of a raid series. That man needs to realize that he is never going to figure out the secrets of the universe if he is dead. Then again maybe he will, see above re: everyone who isn't Haurchefant.

There was an individual who had recreated Allagan cloning tech in the ALC 50-60 quests. I think he was from the near east but it obviously can be duplicated at current tech levels so it isn't impossible that the Garleans can do it.
