You know who's not in this game?

Necron :smuggo:

But only because we haven't gotten to the end game so he can show up almost out of nowhere :smugjones:

Well, he's the hypostasis of death, so presumably he'd show up if Hydaelyn died or something.

If you think that's average I shudder at the thought of the non-euclidean horrors that must make up half the people you meet.

He is a completely normal looking white dude. The most objectionable thing about his appearance is that he's wearing those obnoxious computer screen glasses. Aren't you kind of reaching to find something to make fun of at this point? It was posted because it's brainless clickbait.

If they do add a Kekfa character to the game, I hope he's intro'd in a more subtle way than Dancing Mad.

The remix of the Atma Weapon music was pretty cool in the trailer, though.

Despite the bizarre dong-swallowing expression he has contorted his face into, and despite how dislikeable he is, I'm pretty sure Mrhappy is neither disfigured nor especially ugly. Do you suffer from some kind of third person body dysmorphic disorder or something?

What do think is a higher form of entertaiment:

1.) First Impressions of 3.2 Trailer and Discussion

or

2.) Guy reacts to 3.2 trailer!! (Wow!! Kissing Prank, React to Fine Bros)

Reaction videos are the lowest effort, highest return thing on youtube right now and it's very obvious awful name man trying to cash in on some clicks. If you even just look back at a similar video he did for 3.1 it's called "Patch 3.1 Trailer Analysis & Thoughts".

I actually agree with Belzac here, the issue is reaction videos are loving stupid and the guy looks pretty standard to me. Calling him ugly is reaching. Especially when there are so many other things to make fun of.

I wouldn't recommend mr.happy guides if there was someone else out there that didn't take a hundred years to clear a raid.

But really the best thing is to just not watch guides and do progression like a normal group.

Might be worth considering whether it's Belzac's actual points / arguments / conclusions that people take issue with, or whether it's more about how he communicates those points (tone, phrasing, etc.).

Kinda like when you're in DF, someone's derping because they're new, and another party member starts raging at them (but, technically, telling them the right thing to do in the process). You kinda root for the newbie to deliberately screw up just to piss off the rear end in a top hat, because their technical point ends up being less important or interesting than their behavior in making the point.

In this case, Belzac's less ragey and more tries too hard to get what could be valid points if better substantiated, down to one-liners (presumably with the intention of being witty). But it's still an issue of how the points are communicated. When he actually makes an effortpost I rarely find myself disagreeing with him.

TL;DR honey vs. vinegar proverb
