Quote:He married for love. When does that ever work out?Originally Posted by RosaQuartz
Wow, harsh. I'm not sure what Robb did that should have cost him his life. -
Quote:That's actually a good point. Thanks for bringing it up.Originally Posted by RosaQuartz
I think Melissandre will give him the "Breath Of Fire" a la Beric Dondarrion. And yes, it seems like Jon is being set up to fulfil the Prince Who Was Promised prophecy. What cemented it for me was Jon's dream of defending the Wall with a burning sword.

Quote:Sansa was the one she was questing for, wasn't she?Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
That would work, too... I forget, did Brienne run into Sansa on her questing? She went all over the place to the point where she became one of my least favorite storylines even though I love her as a character.

Quote:That's possible. But going "Sansa!" didn't seem to help much up to that point. Would have liked to see the scene before she appeared elsewhere.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
That's easy... she said "Arya!", and she was cut down. That's all Lady Stoneheart cares about anymore... that and vengeance.
Anyway. No, Jon isn't dead 'till the book states so specifically. Though getting stabbed repeatedly by his own men isn't a really good start to a long and healthy life. I'm curious how he can possibly get out of that one.
But for the final-chapter cliff-hangers, my absolute favourite was the murder of Kevan Lannister. I loved how Varys reveals they want Cersei back in power because she's so terrible at her job.
In your face Cersei!

No one dies in a cliff-hanger
Heck, even Brienne just spontaneously shows up. Would have liked just a little insight into how she got out of that situation. -

I'd like to respectfully request that you guys please stop posting spoilers in this thread, even ones disguised with abbreviations.

Quote:I googled it. [Keanu]Woha[/Keanu], I had no idea it was that big of a 'thing'. I just like the idea because Rhaegar is a very interesting and mysterious character that would be a shame to only have as a background character. He needs to be more important than "Had destiny. Got in the way of Robert's Hammer. The End." Though, I suppose, GRRM has any number of characters like that.Originally Posted by MentalMaden
I could write several pages about why R+L=J. If anyone would like to hear some of the arguments just PM me. I'd rather keep those kind of long term (spoilerish) type things out of the thread for others sake.

Quote:The first time someone in one of the books made a definite statement about who Jon's mother was, I was all "ah well, so much for that". The second time it happened, I thought "hm, so maybe nobody knows, after all. Interesting!"Originally Posted by Quasadu
I don't think it's unlikely at all. It's what I've been thinking for a while now. It's the only answer that makes sense to me.
I guess it could be possible. I vaguely recall that there was something off about the timing of the whole thing, that made me conclude that it was highly unlikely. But I can't remember what it was. Been a while since I had the whole timeline memorized.

Quote:It's been definitively answered in the books, several times. Unfortunately, none of those answers are compatible, so we still don't know the truth of it. My pet theory is that Jon is really the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, but that's highly unlikely.Originally Posted by Mental_Giant
We still don't know the big answer to that, but there are some compelling theories out there...

Quote:If your writers are bonkers, you're not safe anywhere.Originally Posted by Ogi
I don't really care for Ms. Liberty and her not-a-villain mercenary group Longbow so I'd like to see her join the FP.
I'll admit I don't know much about Mirror Spirit but why would you want to curse anyone you might possibly like with being in that utterly dysfunctional and basically fail group? -
With the current changes to the Freedom Phalanx, I think my dream scenario would go something like this:
Penny takes Malaise's spot in the Vindicators (and takes a hero name)
Mirror Spirit joins the Freedom Phalanx, replacing Sister Psyche.
Ms. Liberty could join the Freedom Phalanx, but I think I'd rather keep her as leader of the Vindicators.
Have a story revolving around Hero 1's cleansing and redemption and have him take over Statesman's spot on the Freedom Phalanx.
Have Positron stay the heck away from leadership of the FP. He's the guy who builds stuff in the basement, he is not the inspiring leader type. -
Quote:I'm the only one in Praetoria on Virtue, more likely than not. At least during my prime time. It probably get better at night. That said, Praetoria isn't terrible team friendly anyway, with those solo-only missions, so it doesn't hurt that much.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
On some servers there are literally ZERO to 1-2 other people in Praetoria at most times of the day now.
Just too bad all those public quests go unused. -
Heeeey! Welcome back!
I'm sure someone else will be along shortly to fill you in on everything new.
Also, check out Nethergoat's Returning Player Diary, which might have a lot of the info you are looking for, as well as some thoughts on the free-player experience. -

I'm not a programmer either, but I imagine some of our programmers are gnashing their teeth at this statement

Quote:I think it probably helps a lot when the author is a professional screenwriter.Originally Posted by Lothic
True enough. The obvious assumption from my last post was that a given TV show based on a book still needs to be good in and of itself to be worth watching. A bad adaptation from even the most perfect series of books in existence would still be a bad adaptation.

Mine is very traditional.
Only exception to this, is that I also usually monitor: last hit chance, ranged/melee defence and damage bonus.
And yes, my inspiration tray has to be nice and tidy

Quote:I just took a new praetorian all the way through the loyalist responsibility story arc over the weekend. I still think the stories in Praetoria are superior to the 1-20 experience anywhere else. And I guess they nerfed the difficult mobs, but kept the increased xp, because I was having a breeze. Now I'm cruising through First Ward, still a loyalist. Hurray!Originally Posted by SpyralPegacyon
Eh, I still want to solo through a full Prae storyline, then First Ward, and then eventually Night Ward to get the full experience. I'm just hung up a concept / powerset combo that'll be less painful than pulling teeth.
I just wish there was a way you could unlock your second costume slot. -
Quote:I remember enjoying fighting CoT red-side MUCH more than blueside, because those spectral demons and their ridiculous -ToHit were almost unheard of, redside. We got those easy-peasy Nerva Spectral Demons instead.Originally Posted by Shubbie
Yes well I have to set the levels at that because Its pretty easy to solo something like freaks,warrior,council,family or outcasts at x4 and have to go x1 for arachnos, cot and Longbow.
Blueside is mostly freaks, council, family between 20-35
Redside is mostly Arachnos, Cor and longbow between 20-35
Hm..... imagine that..
But lately, it seems that every red-side CoT mission is 75% spectral demons... so now it sucks as much as blue-side ever did. Can we get the migraine-inducing blue caves too? Might as well go all in!

Quote:I have heard rumours of both water blast and psychic melee. A nature-y buff set would be neat too.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Some kind of water based power would also be fun

Quote:While that's good to hear, it saddens me that this is the kind of praise we've been reduced to.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I can say without any reservation that SSA7 is easily the least terrible SSA I have played so far.

Two Coles down, an infinite number of Coles to go!

Quote:Oh really? Then what was the CO rage all about, then?Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I've enjoyed CoH so far, so I'd totally check out another MMO made by the same studio.
