Are we allowed to have humor? Seems like people around here hate that.

Well, as dumb as it was, that whole line of conversation was a good time.
Im still laughing about it XD
Guess even if the thread lost its meaning, it was at least entertaining. Something this Forum need is some good humor.

Oh for sure, it was part of why I even kept up with that thread in the first place. Let alone occasionally replied to posts inside of it.

Anywho I'm excited for everything and wished so many things weren't till 6.25. I'm surprised they seem to have moved up Island Sanctuary from 6.25 as part one had said we'd be getting it in 6.25 instead. I would have to take another look at the trailer, but I swear the reaper lady didn't have anything unique about her except for her hair and facial features as she looked like any other reaper. I also must have missed a non child Varshaun. Course I also didn't notice a washed up Urianger during the post 5.0 credits cutscene until someone pointed it out in a comment section of a video of someone else going through that part of the MSQ. I do wonder if Haurchefant is keyed as tank and dps for duty support. Though if he's only a dps then that would um explain why he ah had trouble dealing with that post Vault attack.

Nobody likes humor here.
Unless its to insult somebody/something.

No humor allowed. Only dark and gritty. No happy ending, only meaningful sacrifice.

I don't think anyone posting here has an issue with humour so much as the very one sided, samey humour as well as more and more side content being dictated by it.

Agreed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with humor or lightheartedness, but it has a time and place, and when it is used outside of that time and place it loses its effectiveness. It's really almost ironic, if you try to be funny all of the time, even in the wrong time and place for it, you're typically one of the least funny people around as people will get sick of your humor very fast.

The conclusion comes from reading the text. The Scions officially disbanded and only a few of them seems to be involved in the current story (Estinien and Y'shtola). Whether that'll be permanent remains to be seen, but this is not in any way an objectively incorrect read of the current events.

But Vel is correct that there's been nothing official saying we would never see X or Y Scion used in the story again. None of them have officially retired in the storyline. They're off on their own pursuits and our paths could cross again as they did with Y'shtola and Estinien and G'raha. I also remember the interview with Krile and Thancred's VAs on it where they did say that those two would have more involved roles in the future. That hasn't come to fruition yet. So just because we haven't seen Thancred now doesn't mean they don't have something percolating, for instance. All Vel was pointing out was the definitive format of the statement was wrong. It wasn't "They appear to be retiring" but that they had and treating it like an absolute fact. Which there is nothing in the storyline or from any official sources to support that idea. I also wouldn't find something like that likely. They can keep someone off on their own pursuits indefinitely and have freedom to bring them back in if they find a place for them in the story. That seems a lot more the type of thing they would want to do, because it keeps their options and flexibility open.

heck we've seen this happen multiple times in previous msq with some of the Scions being out of action. What the story is doing right now is literally nothing new in terms of not having every Scion present for the current story.

Such as nearly the entirety of Heavenward. We were traveling with our set little party.

Until Shadowbringers, the only time we really had the entire group of Scions around were in patches. And even then, we usually focused on two to three at a time.
