You cannot buy it. It is free.

I know Russians are basically Mongols but what is this constant "Lunar New Year" shit everywhere. Fuck off with this cheap Chink pandering. I doubt they play or even comprehend western RPGs in the first place.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Seasons Pass content seems very underwhelming. The post game DLC#1 seems cool, but the others? Meh. I will still be waiting for the "it's actually done version" before I really dig into WotR. Abstaining has been killer.

 

[LannTheStupid]

I am very happy that good developers see the rise of China. I think the game quality will increase across the whole industry if the West is considered the second market.

 

[Anthedon]

But what is the new DLC about?

 

[Ghulgothas]

But what is the new DLC about?

I.E. this game's Act 6, somewhere you can actually put what the last mythic level gives you to use.

 

[LannTheStupid]

In short - tempered monsters. Or G-rank quests if ones prefers the old terminology.

 

[Anthedon]

Could be interesting if it's hard enough. I assume truly invincible opponents is not code for multiple Vavakia Vanguards.

[Yosharian]

I wonder if my 160 AB will be enough to hit them

 

[Delterius]

still struggling to make a satisfying build for a trickster (preferrably arcane) caster. i know you can get x4 crit on rays but that requires such a tunnel vision and it's so goddamn late. it's also fucking boring. and the only other idea i've got is a druid with some extra/impossible domains. not very mythic i should say.

pox on me for picking mythics for themes and rp i guess.

*accepting suggestions

 

[ga♥]

Since its supposedly fixed in the beta, could anyone check what's inside the chest that was previously unreachable in the higher city part in Alushinyrra

Wrath can only fail in China because a) it has no good porny waifus, b) it's too fucking hard for the average Chinkoid and c) spooky scary skeletons and demons make the CCP unhappy.

e: That said, maybe the CCP Version of the game will actually be good.

 

[Efe]

made it to chapter 5, scoured the map and came back to realize throne events broke

 

[LannTheStupid]

Delterius isn't a martial class better for a Trickster? Or do you want to play a Trickster caster as the part of the plan or RP?

 

[Daidre]

Since its supposedly fixed in the beta, could anyone check what's inside the chest that was previously unreachable in the higher city part in Alushinyrra

Extra Magical Hide for Storyteller's artefacts.

China changes Fight Club film ending so the authorities win

Brad Pitt played the anarchic Tyler Durden in Fight Club


The ending to cult 1999 US film Fight Club has been removed for viewers in China, and replaced by a screen with a message saying the authorities won.

The original ending saw Edward Norton's narrator killing his imaginary alter-ego Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt, before bombs destroyed buildings in the climax to a subversive plot to reorder society, dubbed Project Mayhem.

In China, before the explosions, a message now says the police foiled the plot, arrested the criminals and sent Durden to a "lunatic asylum".

The new finale tells viewers: "Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding.

"After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012."

Director David Fincher's film has recently been added to streaming platform Tencent Video, and Human Rights Watch described the changes as "dystopian".


Chuck Palahniuk, who wrote the 1996 novel that Fight Club was adapted from, wrote sarcastically on Twitter: "This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!"

The author added on Substack: "How amazing. I'd no idea! Justice always wins. Nothing ever exploded. Fini."

Dissident artist Ai Weiwei also posted a link to a story about the changes, with the question: "What Would Tyler Durden Say?"

US senator Ted Cruz, a Republican representing Texas, wrote: "The second rule of Fight Club is 'we will do and say whatever the Chinese communist censors tell us to do and say.'"

• China's media cracks down on 'effeminate' styles
• Hollywood censors films for China, report suggests
• Radiohead regret turning down Fight Club

The changes were flagged up on social media by outraged viewers who had previously seen pirated copies of the original.

It's not uncommon for Chinese censor to make cuts to Western films, but it's more rare for them to change an ending.


Some social media users made light of the new Fight Club ending.

Deskari would win in the China version

Delterius isn't a martial class better for a Trickster? Or do you want to play a Trickster caster as the part of the plan or RP?

It's the RP that constrains me. Trickster goes around doing magic tricks all the time. I also favor arcane casters personally. The roadblocks I face are:

Perception 2 is too good a pick at mythic rank 4 and nothing can really compare. Unless you're a melee character going Mobility or something. It's full benefit is only online by level 19.

UMD 2 is actually useless. Wands can't penetrate shit. If UMD 2 allowed you to use your own Spell Penetration and DCs with Wands, then it would be golden.

Religion 2 has recently been fixed but, frankly, Clerics can already get extra domains can't they? Two extra domains for the better part of the game is not very impressive.

Arcane Knowledge 2 and more offers no benefits for casters. Like wtf.

Greater Mythic Tricks come online to late it's not worth thinking about them. Especially the second one.

Trickster used to be much worse for casters. At least now you can get stronger rays. But it's boring IMO.

 

[Humbaba]

The industry has been falling for the China market meme for years at this point. With the rise of autism sports fat retard olympics e-sports, mobas especially devs and companies have got it into their heads that China is somehow a big potential customer, ignoring the fact that 1. Chingchongs pirate everything under the sun 2. only play Mobas and little else 3. will be one of the oldest populations on earth thanks to the CCP's dumbass autogenocide policies, whereupon their famed economic strength will collapse and China will become a third world shithole with a subpar GDP and ethnic unrest tearing the country apart. The same thing happened in Japan (minus the unrest and GDP, the only reason why Japan has not become a shithole itself) and it is absolutely inevitable.

 

[Humbaba]

Could be interesting if it's hard enough. I assume truly invincible opponents is not code for multiple Vavakia Vanguards.

They saved those for the 2nd story DLC once everyone has let their guard down.

Of course the Chinese would cheer for the locust demon.

That's fucking hilarious about the Fight Club thing

Do you really care enough to get butt hurt over this? It's a sale, just buy what you want. No one expects you to thank and praise the Chinese for every purchase you make while getting 20% off because of a Chinese festival
