Dawntrail Early Access Liveblog

THERE WE GO

ONLY A 10 MINUTE DOWNLOAD LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

not gonna do msq until i get home from work BUT i can try to speedlevel pictomancer and do the shb role quests

pictomancer fun as fuck hell yeah

heading to work and after i get home i'll finish the shb rolequests, start the ew rolequests, and get pictomancer to 90 as fast as possible

back from fuckin work and finishing the shb role questssssss

doing these after finishing endwalker is kinda funny like...cyella i have news for you

oh sweetheart i've fought WAY WORSE than the shadowkeeper i stopped the final days

OOOOH THERES MORE

...ngl i forgot i had these

hey unukalhai how ya doin

good news! we've already started!

adding 2 more children to my custody list

bozja time

dynamis bozja is full of pictos and vipers its great

Pictomancer storyline thoughts(currently on the lvl 90 quest)

very cute questline but poor beruru...

janquetilaque i will draw your ass pregnant dont fuckin test me

oh shit she made kupopo

so she's just...gone??? how am i gonna visit her after dawntrail? D:


Dawntrail MSQ Liveblog

after several days of being trapped on dynamis i am finally home on faerie to do msq!!! Yippee!!

also the quest music is nice

if anything happens to wuk lamat im killing myself

if anything happens to krile im killing myself

if anything happens to erenville im killing myself

ohhh she's seasick,,,,,poor thing,,,

now why do they call her 'third promise'? is she the third child in the family?

her earsssssss i love her big ol earssss

YAYYYYYY GIRLS TRIP YAYYYYYY

so it is a sibling thing.. zoraal ja is the first promise, so is koana the second promise?

HELL YEAH JAZZ

ok so two headed ones are siblings who share the same first name and add a second ja to the last name

lamaty'i? is that a term of endearment?

ahh ok

OOOOOH ERENVILLE LORE

so wuk lamat must be the baby of the family

i fully expect at least one bit of sabotage, if not an assassination attempt

zoraal ja seems chill

all 3 of gulool ja ja's kids have their own form of autism

wuk lamat has the power of friendship on her side

YAYYYY NEW GOOFY MUSIC

oh if theres a success fanfare then there must be a failure one too...

NEVERMIND WE NEVER LOSE

she's learning!!! she's growing!!!

get his ass grandma!!!

oh this guy is also autistic as hell

i swear i've heard linuhanu's voice before

ok so koana is probably being assisted by thancred and urianger, which means if y'shtola is here she's just doing nerd shit and if g'raha is here he might also just be doing nerd shit

i was righttttt

erenville you are so gorgeous

yayyy picto battle date with krile

sick to death of this fucking FOG

oh that lalafell couple from the trailer are krile's parents aren't they

i see that hear feel think reference you're not fucking slick

played for 11 hours...oops

role quest start and more msq

these evil mfs seem like cringe ass power rangers rn just from the magic quests

wh-why don't you want me to tell wuk lamat

oh fuck i hav e tpo fight him oh shit i hope she doesnt walk in on us

dude please be careful if i fuck you up on accident im gonna get arrested

oh those aoes

I ALMOST FUCKING DIED

ohhhh......he loves her so much...

funny thing about that, we just had a convo about this subject

and i will do my best to help lamaty'i grow!!

if gulool ja ja dies i'm gonna shit blood

but i have a feeling either he, koana, or zoraal ja might just die. especially zoraal ja. hope im wrong tho

sareel ja is probably gonna betray zoraal ja or get too ambitious and die

can't wait to see bakool ja ja put in his place

DIDNT EVEN USE HIS FUCKIN BLADE GET FUCKED

each keystone has a symbol...i wonder if there's a specific order

oh this is a trap

i'm blowing this fucker up let ym babygirl go!!

YAYYYYYYYY HE LOVES HIS SISTER YAYYYYYY

ohhh koana....;x;

wuk lamat queen of empathy my beloved

ohhh a rhyming language that sounds similar to dragonspeak

oh shit cool bird

OOUGHHH WUK LAMAT MY BELOVED SHOUNEN PROTAGONIST

man the yok huy have such wet eyes

krile and alisae fucking murdered me by overlapping all 3 aoes on my ass

gurfurlur sounds like the precursors

i wanna eat the keystones

of course bakool ja ja would pull some fuckshit

zoraal ja got some fat titties

"a history of violence"...oh boy

WUK EVU MY BELOVED

so after the x'braal and the mamool ja come the shetona...meaning erenville lore soon

dawntrail has felt so refreshing so far with all the emphasis on culture and how colorful it is, i like it

its a cooking competition theres bound to be sabotage

KRILE CAN COOK TOO? FUCK YEAH DUAL PCT/CUL GANG

YAYYYY SHE REMEMBERED I CAN COOK TOO

AAAAHAAAAHAHAAHAA YOU FORGOT THE LEAVES

KRILE'S EARRING USE THE EARRING

i do not like this white woman

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE THE FUCKING IMPLANT WHAT IS THIS ROLE SHIT WHAT ARE THESE EXAMS

oh erenville's mom is in a fucking stasis pod or some shit

i dont like those implants, she sounds nice but it feels like shes keeping these people as like, pets

NAMIKKA???

THIS IS SOME KAIBA SHIT

THEY PUT HIS MOM IN A ROBOT???

oh these people don't have the implants!!!

oh shes controlling it thats good

OH SO THEY GIVE YOU SOULS BASED ON HOW GOOD YOU WORK???? BRO THIS IS ULTRACAPITALISM

ouuughhh we look so out of place ouuuughhhhhh

why is there a small mamool ja...thats not zoraal ja and sphene's fucking son is it???

also i dont thinm sphene eats anymore

something is wrong with that woman

the lalafell here seem to have palindrome names, ketek and tokot so far

ok so lalafell here are milalla, hyurs are hyune, and eldite must be elezen or miqote

this place looks like a roblox game

oh she caused the calamity of lightning didn't she

constantly torn between "this shit looks cool as hell" and "this shit is scary as hell"

everyone has such vibrantly colored hair

where do they get the souls?? is it an infinite loop of people dying of old age and getting shlorped into someone else??

EEYEP ITS FUCKING CAPITALISM

OHHH THATS WHY THAT LADY WAS A CAT LADY SHE HAD FERAL CAT SOULS OHHHHHH

oh hes holding her ass hostage

oh she might die if i think about it

why is there a small gang of milallas harrasing a cat motherfucker what is gonig on

also why the fuck dont we get to squat!!!!!

why is there anti two headed mamool ja grafitti-oh its because zoraal ja hates his dad

so did zoraal ja and sphene fuck or is this little one a clone of some sort

oh wait what if this is just straight up baby zoraal ja from the past

ah so we have rodina for rowena and genolt for gerolt

oh krile's parents must have been the defectors

they gave me fucking red bull i'm gonna have a heart attack

ABANDONED?????

YAYYYYYY THE JAZZ IS BACK YAYYYYYY

GUYS WE GOTTA GO STOP STANDING AROUND AND GET THE FUCK IN!!!!

why does this sound like a yoko shimomura song

the weather is fucking reminiscence oughhh

CAHCUIA IS SO PRETTY AAAAAA

they're all so happy, and some seem content even with the thought of dying

oh i know the graha girlies are gonna go gaga for this

there's no music. none at all. what the fuck.

the rest will have to wait its fucking 5am

this is probably it....middle of level 99 msq to hopefully level 100 msq

this game wants me fucking dead im actually doing the sidequests here and they hurt

OTIS HI HI HI HI I MISSED YOU HI

virazahn is a fucking cringelord and i lvoe how the battle music is the goofy ass clown music

GET FUCKED IDIOT

erenville go talk to your mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!before she dies for real!!!!!!!

oh so if the milalla invented the electrope methods thats why galuf said it looked similar to southern seas calculations because the milalla were islanders like them!

OUGHHHH FUCK KRILE'S PARENTS ARE HERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ERASE THEM FUCKKKKKKKK

robor and alayla....

ough throat feels like im either about to puke or cry

THATS NOT HOW YOU EAT ICE CREAM RAHA WHY DID YOU DO THAT LIKE THAT

why ice cream eating noise like that what the fuck

the masks here remind me of atlantis

i'm gonna fucking shit blood they love her so much

MAYA AUGGHHHHHH

KRILE MAYA BALDESION

...will living memory just...look like this forever?

this feels like ultima thule in reverse...instead of going from an eerie soudscape that made me feel sick to music its the other way around

hoping once we complete msq this place gets new music the sound is making my tummy bad

2 quests and 2 currents and i should be good

man im gonna miss cahcuia

need to sleep, will start the final quest then leave the rest for tomorrow

AUGH THE MUSIC CHANGE AUGGHGHUHGUHUHUGHHGG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

its time.

this song is badass i love it

they need to put this and troia in fucking explorer mode NOW

that bitch is GONE

OH HELL YES THIS SONG FUCKS

AZEM SOUL CRYSTAL FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

why is no one queueing for the final trial where are you fuckers

that was sick as fuck i need the orch roll for that shit now

also sphene looks like a magical girl and the thing on her hip could be her transformation tool

dare i say...doomed yuri

hey did krile and raha make it out hey. hey.

also ngl playing this section as lalafell hit different

love this disney ass song so much

love how they had the trailer events happen too

OMINOUS ASS CROWN SHOT UH OH

also def the prettiest expansion

oh i have heard bad things about the strayborough deadwalk....oh well lets go in

first boss did in fact beat my ass and the final boss was a bit tricky(the poor healer kept fucking up the spirit=>living mechanic i felt kinda bad) but that was fun!

just chilling in the solution nine jump spot...will gradually get aether currents, level my crafters, and also get whm/rpr/gnb through the ew/dt role quests and maybe level bard but for now...just gonna chill

THE ARCADION

do not like the whole using souls thing but if this mf is true to his word then they get released...IF he's true to his word

song fuckin slaps

oops need to do the other expert dungeon

ngl the tender valley quest and the azem symbol on the milalla artifact are making me think

babey need aether currents
