    This is the transmog I went with for my Sunwalker Paladin. I chose colors that represented both the sunlight and a tribal feel to them (brown, red, and the feathers give a tribal look I think). The shoulders/helm, visor and shield all have glowing yellow lights, and the axe itself glows yellow...

    Yeah I wasn't an alt person, in fact I played only one toon (warrior) from vanilla until cataclysm when they made everything account-wide, because my main problem with alts was having to redo everything on another toon.. Since then I've maxed out a rogue, warlock, monk, hunter, death knight and...

    I do Dragon Soul on 4 characters, and was doing Ulduar on 8 characters until I recently got Mimiron's Head after 272 attempts ;-) I'm only doing Elegon and Throne of Thunder on my main though because my other toons cannot do it yet, I'm not very well geared and cannot be bothered to actually...

    Finally fished up enough Lunarfall Carps and killed enough Lunarfall Cavedwellers to loot my Riding Turtle mount, so that's done. Took 90 attempts if anyone's interested, even though I expected tons more time spent on it because according to my addon 90 was only giving me a 35% chance of...

    I'm sure you'll forget that quickly but it wasn't Coruscant, it was Hosnian Prime. After the New Republic was founded, they decided it was not fair for the Senate to always be established on a capital world, so it moves around every few years, and it was there at that time.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    To be honest, if I was called upon to do a job at the last minute without any preparation, I'd still prefer that over getting called upon at the last minute AND having to do it with the work and tools of someone else...

    The Death Star 2 in ROTJ could fire shots every 5 minutes, so it would have taken about 20 minutes to destroy the Hosnian system.

    As terrible as those worms were, they are astoundingly NOT a movie thing only, they are briefly mentionned in passing in the book as "wereworms", but are never part of the Battle of the Five Armies (then again we hardly see the battle in the book). That whole third movie definitely looked like a...

    Correct, but Vader was Tarkin's underling at the time, not his equal. He became the Emperor's right-hand only in the sequels. General Hux is the military equivalent to Kylo Ren, Snoke uses both for what they bring him, and probably also plays them against one another. For giggles.

    That's what I got from it too. Right after he stabbed through his father, the look on his face looked like he was thinking "Why don't I feel better? I should be feeling better! I wanted to do this for so long!" but I think it didn't work out the way he thought, and it probably made him more...

    I'm not saying it's what I personnally want the character to be, I'm just saying it's what I expect may happen. Star Wars has been very cyclical so far, and considering this is basically ANH 2.0 (as much as I enjoyed it), I would not be surprised to see Kylo Ren evolve in that direction...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I doubt the big plan over the trilogy is to end up with Kylo Ren being seen as "the villain". Much like Vader did not end up as "the villain" in the classic trilogy, I expect Kylo Ren will go through several trials that I would not be surprised to see end in redemption or self-sacrifice...

    Joking aside, I agree with this paragraph about how showing Kylo Ren's face was a great move. Sure, everyone loves a menacing villain and Driver's face definitely does not make him intimidating, with his glorious Jon Snowesque curls. But the point isn't to make him scary in the movie...

    This opinion comes from the fact that Yoda and the Emperor are both considered the masters of their particular side of the Force, and as such their powers have grown beyond requiring weapons. Look at the poor opinion Palpatine has of lightsabers when he handles Luke's. In fact, I'm pretty sure...

    As far as my memory goes, we saw Yoda's saber fall to the bottom of the senate and he never gets it back before escaping, so I believe it was lost at that moment. Then again, Yoda even using a saber was always a bad decision to me, he should have been only badass powers.

    I did that achiev quickly in Frostfire Ridge around the ice crystal clusters that were swarmed with those blue insect type pets, but I believe they reduced the number of them now. Might still be a good spot though!

    Uh wrong again. He doesn't introduce BB-8 to Artoo, in fact you can clearly see BB-8 goes to Artoo to check on him, and C3PO goes "Aww BB-8, don't you remember our good friend Artoo is in sleep mode since years ago?" To be fair THAT sentence was exposition for the audience, but apparently it...

    You definitely should. You can get 2 pets and 2 mounts from that (technically the pets can be bought since they're not soulbound though). The waterwalker recolor is cool looking and pretty rare to see, and the turtle is super rare and normally goes for a pretty penny on eBay so it's worth...

    I assume you're talking about the sea turtle? I got that one back in Wrath fishing for the dailies in Sholazar Basin. I'm talking about the riding turtle, that is a very rare drop off the lunarfall cavedweller, an abyss murloc you spawn by fishing a lunarfall carp in your garrison (requires...

    I did it on 8 toons for the whole duration, ended up with 2 mounts, and many medaillions/elixirs. The oil was pretty nice too. Been using the medaillions on my main to get the Trading Post rep to exalted without farming it (I already farmed it on another toon for the pet/mount but I want most...

    Because BB-8 is Poe's astromech droid, Poe is a prominent member of the Resistance, and as such they've met quite a few times before, possibly for years? You should go see the movie I think.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I don't get the complaint about "half the infinity stones" being on Earth... In the MCU movies, we have seen the Tesseract was on Earth... The Aether was locked away in one of the Ygdrassil worlds that Natalie Portman got sent into accidently in Thor 2.. so not Earth. The stone from...

    I too prefered that Kylo Ren spoke with an empty helmet. It lets you believe what you want, whether he really saw visions or he is himself delusional. In fact, despite Force Ghosts being officially real in the story, I always thought it would be better if we were certain they aren't really...

    EQ Never

    To be honest, at this point their best bet isn't to take any new angle because the only reason people are even remotely interested in EQ anymore is fueled solely by nostalgia. Just remake the goddamn original game with modern graphics and gameplay and call it a day. Hell, even the MMO angle...

    I figured this cute scene was meant to show her interest in piloting ships and seeing the galaxy beyond Jakku, but she felt obligated to stay there because of her "parents" coming back for her. Same reason why she looks longingly at departing ships, and is seen having a lot of interest in...

    Luke and Rey share similarities based on simply being The Hero, or main protagonist. Obviously the character is going to have a lot of qualities and few flaws, but I wouldn't go as far as to say Rey is a complete Mary Sue. Yes she is very knowledgeable about mechanics and ships, and she can...

    Sure, the shields are taken down a little bit too easily. Just like Obi-Wan deactivating the Death Star tractor beam did not seem strange to any control room in the station, or even the fact that the beam can be turned off by deactivating only one of seven points. This is the same universe where...

    Technically not true. We see Rey having visions of being dropped on Jakku at a very young age, and we are told that her parents would come back for her. But this is a vision, we are not watching a flashback. It could be part of her mind wipe / brainwashing, so she would wait for imaginary...

    Nothing will stop you from being concerned or hyped, so I suggest you see the movie and make your own opinion. That said, I understand your concern based on similar comments after TPM came out, but I'd like to develop the argument a bit further. When TPM came out, I was 17 and after I saw...

    Having seen the movie, I must say I actually do not feel at all that this movie was nothing but a nostalgia grab and a soft-reboot attempt. THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS IN THIS POST. Obviously, we know that they're going in a direction that aims at replacing the old cast with new characters...

    I am still trying to digest everything I saw. I enjoyed it, but it feels weird to see a "new" Star Wars movie, because as awful as the prequels were, they were not really covering any new material, it was all fluff leading to an ending we already knew and expected. This is all new ground, and it...
