HIIII CHINO HOW U ARE?!! 💗💗🫂💗 I also want the interesting things for Leiftan or any thing/fact about Leiftan I’m dying I need content of him 😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫂 mabeibi ma beibi please I beg you sweetie, xoxooo love you sweetie!!
Heya ! I am fine thank you
I guess the easiest for me to tell about Leiftan is his all backstory who was actually and unfortunately never correctly exploited and explained in game.
Leiftan was a toddler during the time of the Blue Sacrifice.
The aengels didn’t want to sacrifice as planned, and for this reason they ended up being persecuted by the other faes.
Leiftan’s parents were killed, but before they died they put him in a stasis spell to hide and protect him.
An aengel survivor, Verom, ended up finding him. (Mowgli style XD )
Verom was weak after the persecution and he decided to establish himself at the Fountain of Youth in company of the Naiade nymphe who guarded the fountain. (She is linked to her fountain as hamadryades are with their tree.) She was a good soul and offered her help.
They cared for Leiftan, still in stasis at this point.
After some centuries, Leiftan’s soulmate was born and Leiftan not destined to be alone anymore, the freezing spell broke. Toddler Leiftan slowly awoke and started living again.
So he grew up with his adoptive parents. As soon as he could, Verom trained Leiftan into using aengel powers, and taught him about the Blue Sacrifice etc.
When he was still very young, a group of exploring humans found the fountain’s place by pure luck. They ended up trying to steal its water but in the fight they killed the Naiade. The fountain dried immediately and she turned to stone. There was just a little bit of water left, she could rejuvenate with a lot of time and patience, and hope.
And then we arrive when Leiftan was a young teen, some humans found the fountain again, but this time they knew what they were looking for. And these humans happened to be... leaded by Erika's father. He was looking for that youth fountain discovered years ago, Erika was sick and dying from some unknown disease (certainly related to her Fae genes), and that was the only way he knew that could save her. He wanted the remaining water.
They fought for it, of course. Charles kills Verom (he is an old man by now) and by taking the last drops of the fountain he also kills the Naiade.
With that bit of magical water with him, he and the soldiers left as he came. Thinking everyone dead.
But Leiftan was not, and he is left as a young daemon, partially trained and able to hide his nature. Full of anger and hate. Hate for both faeries and humans and this is his villain origin story.
(And so, Charles is the person who killed his parents, but also the one who saved his soulmate in doing so. How so tragic hehe.)
———————
Another thing is the potion they make Erika drink later in the story so they would forget about her on Earth.
It was Leiftan’s idea all along, he suggested it to Miiko. With this solution, he was sure Erika would have to stay by their side and he would do anything to keep her close to him. He then acted innocent around her.
And for those who might be mad at this revelation, sorry but don’t forget Leiftan has always been a villain and a good two faced one at this. (Especially in the earlier story)

A personagem mais odiada de toda Beemov é a Erika. Não é possível, o tanto que essa garota sofreu não tá no papel, e pra piorar a situação o fandom ainda hostiliza mais ela por conta do roteiro (merda)
- Ela não tem mais um lar, quando foi parar em Eldarya.
- Ela não tem mais família, depois da porção.
- Ela não tem mais o namorado, nas rotas do Valkyon e do Ezarel.
- Ela não é totalmente aengel.
- Ela teve que se sacrificar pelo cristal.
- Ela ressuscitou depois de 8 (fucking) anos, e foi obrigada a se deparar com outra realidade que seguiu sem ela.
- Ela descobriu que o pai dela era o vilão da história.
- Eldarya foi destruída, e ela novamente não tem mais um lar.
E você pensa que depois de tudo isso, ela ganharia um pedido de casamento? Uma lua de mel? 3 filhos e um doguinho com o paquera?
NÃO
Toma um 'morar juntos' muxoxo e bem mequetrefe nos últimos 2 minutos de jogo e se contente com isso.
A Beemov odeia a Erika, logo a Bemoov odeia a gente também.

Sexual Headcanons: Lance
So, I've decided to share some of my sexual headcanons for Eldarya boys in english. First I did in portuguese, because it is my mother language (so it's easier) but now I want to share it with more people. That's it. Have fun.
Lance
- He likes to have sex in public places where he knows that can be caught.
- He likes to have control (Dom), but he likes to have his authority questioned just to punish Erika with an almost orgasm (orgasm denial).
- He likes to think of having dragon/babies with Guardy.
- He's not used to sharing his girlfriend with his brother, but once in life he would be willing to do a threesome.
- He loves Guardy's ass.
- He likes when Guardy gets on four while he pulls her hair and says dirty things in her ears.
- Calls her "peach", because of her silk skin, the shape of her ass and her taste.
- He prefers to receive more than to give oral sex, but when he does it's the best orgasm of her life.
- He can control the temperature of specific parts of his body, like tongue and fingers, he uses this skill to tease Erika during sex.
- He is the king of dirty talking, loves swearing dirty things to Erika while having sex.
- He stares Guardy intensionally while she gives him blowjobs.
- The most sensible spot in his body is his inner thigh.
- Sometimes slaps Guardy in the ass.
- He likes fast penetration rather than slow.
- Loves when Guardy tries to have some control, or at least when she tries to.
- He likes to cum inside, if he can't, in the external area of the pussy.
- He gently (not always) rubs his dick in Guardy's mouth and face in oral sex.
- He was used to masturbate at least three times a week before dating Guardy.
- He already dreamt about Guardienne on top of his dragon form masturbating while he was flying. Eventually that happened in real life.
- He doesn't care about nudity.
- He is kinda an exhibitionist, for example, if he is masturbating in the bathroom and Erika catches him, he wouldn't stop, he most likely would ask her if she wanted to join him.
- He can have sex all night long, but prefers to stop at the third time.
- He likes to kidnap Guardy in a corner and tease her with kisses and silly hands just to get her frustrated. She tries to do the same, but always gives in and has a quickie with him while he keeps her mouth shut with a hand.
- He likes to deprive Guardy of senses sometimes blocking her vision (with a blindfold), sometimes her hearing, or both. He does that to tease her with his frozen tip fingers (sensory deprivation)
- He loves to see her beg for him.
- He likes bondage.
- Hunter/Prey kink
- He likes the idea of corrupting Guardy, he teases her saying that she is too good, a truly good girl.
That's it, guys. Hope you have enjoyed it because it took some time to translate (so sorry for any mistakes), and let me know if you want with the other guys (I already made Leif and Valky, but still intend to do with Nev and Ez).

Alguns headcanons sexuais que você não pode me dizer que não são verdade sobre: Valkyon (+18)
- Ele era um mulherengo pior do que o Nevra, mas muito pior mesmo. Ele era um verdadeiro Don Juan.
- Ele low-key competia com o Lance pela atenção das mulheres, elas preferiam o Valkyon, até o Lance ter interesse nelas, e elas mudarem de idéia.
- Assim como o irmão ele pode controlar a temperatura partes específicas do corpo, no caso para mais quente.
- Sexo na forja, sim por favor.
- Ele já transou com umas raças bem esquisitas, de todos os quatro é o que mais transou com mais raças de faeries.
- Nos seus tempos mais novos sempre se propunha a fazer algo pelo menos uma vez para ver se gostava mesmo ou não (experimentalista).
- No passado ele não se importava em dividir a mesma mulher com os amigos ou o irmão, a situação muda quando se trata de alguém que ele gosta.
- Ele é grande em todos os sentidos e não só sabe disso como gosta.
- Ele ama o fato da guardiã ser pequena e frágil, ele sente tesão na diferença de tamanho dos dois (size kink)
- Ele ama transar de pé segurando a guardiã.
- Dos quatro, ele é o provavelmente o mais fez/faz sexo anal, e não se opuseria a perguntar num relacionamento se a guardiã iria querer.
- Ama transar em lugares quentes, o suor só deixa as coisas mais excitantes, além dele aguentar altas temperaturas (dragão de fogo…)
- Antes de namorar a guardiã se imaginava comendo ela contra a mesa onde forjam as espadas, o som da pélvis dele contra as nádegas dela…
- Já transou em sua forma dracônica, muito provavelmente com uma outra mulher que aguentasse transar um dragão.
- As habilidades manuais dele são excelentes, resultado de anos trabalhando na forja. Fora as mãos calejadas ásperas (melhor DJ)
- Ele tenta ao máximo não machucar a guardiã, algumas vezes é impossível, então roxos, vermelhos e eventualmente sangue acontecem eventualmente e ele se sente mal, mas nunca na hora. De qualquer modo, não é como se a guardiã percebesse, ela quase sempre está ocupada demais gozando…
- Ama quando a guardiã fica mais agressiva, ele evita machucar ela, mas nada impede ela de machucar ele, muito pelo contrário, ele gosta. Entre as coisas que ele gosta: arranhões, mordidas e puxões de cabelo.
- Tem muitas histórias sexuais.
- Muito provavelmente a primeira vez dele foi completamente aleatória com uma pessoa aleatória feita por fazer.
- Sexo casual com ele é o que é. Ele é muito transparente sobre como se sente com outras pessoas.
- É o que mais tem pegada. Ama apertar a guardiã de todas as formas possíveis.
- Já transou com a guardiã depois de uma sessão de treinamento.
- Ele costumava fazer piadas sexuais pesadas.
- Não é sexual mas, a "morte" do irmão mudou muitas coisas para o Valkyon entre elas uma mudança drástica de personalidade, uma mudança em seus hábitos, e a forma como ele lida com seus relacionamentos. Desde então ele passou a dar mais valor a relações duradouras e aprendeu a não ter como garantido as pessoas ao seu redor. Do contrário, ele seria talvez pior que o Nevra, e a rota dele teria sido completamente diferente.
- Já participou de orgias, mais como voyer (observador) do que como membro da ação em si.
-Ele assim como o Nevra não tem nojo de sangue, se é que você me entende.
- Os gemidos graves dele transando (🛐)
- Quando ele pede para guardiã chupar ele com a voz rouca e grave (🛐)
- Assim como eu mencionei acima, se tem uma coisa que ele não se importa são fluídos corporais, isso eleva ele até o patamar de menos nojentinho.

Alguns headcanons sexuais que você não pode me dizer que não são verdade sobre: Lance/Ashkore (+18)
- Gosta de transar em lugares públicos onde ele sabe que pode ser pego.
- Dominador que gosta de ser desafiado só para depois punir a guardiã quase fazendo ela gozar mas parando logo em seguida (orgasm denial).
- Não é acostumado a dividir a namorada com o irmão, mas uma vez ou outra estaria disposto a fazer um treesome.
- Ama a bunda da guardiã
- Ele gosta que a guardiã fique de quatro enquanto ele puxa o cabelo dela e sussurra obscenidades para ela.
- Chama a guardiã de pêssego, por causa da pele macia, da bunda arredondada e do "gosto" dela.
- Ele gosta mais de receber oral do que fazer um oral, mas quando se propõe a fazer… melhor orgasmo da vida.
- Ele consegue controlar a temperatura do corpo dele, inclusive partes específicas, não é incomum em orais ele esfriar a ponta da língua de propósito só para excitar a guardiã ainda mais.
- Rei das obscenidades, ama falar putaria para a guardiã enquanto estão transando.
- A região mais sensível dele é o interior da coxa.
- Ocasionalmente dá tapas na bunda da guardiã.
- Ele prefere ser rápido em vez de lento.
- Adora quando a guardiã assume o controle, ou pelo menos quando tenta.
- Ele gosta de gozar dentro, se não na região externa da boceta.
- Ama passar o pau na boca da guardiã antes do sexo oral, ele gosta da cara de safada dela antes de colocar ele na boca.
- Costumava se masturbar umas 3 vezes na semana, até começar a namorar a guardiã.
- Já sonhou em ver a guardiã montada nas costas dele se masturbando na sua forma dracônica enquanto voava.
-Eventualmente realizou essa fantasia.
- Pode ser meio exibicionista às vezes, por exemplo, se ele tiver se masturbando no banheiro e a guardiã pegar ele no flagra (antes de eles sequer terem um relacionamento) a reação mais comum dele vai ser perguntar se ela não quer ajudar.
- Pode transar a noite inteira, mas geralmente o máximo são 3 vezes.
- Ocasionalmente acontece dele puxar a guardiã para um canto e provocar ela com beijos e chupões só para depois deixar ela frustrada. Ela até consegue pagar na mesma moeda, mas eventualmente os dois acabam transando em algum canto escondido com ele tampando a boca dela.
- Gosta de privar a guardiã dos sentidos, às vezes com a visão (usando vendas) , às vezes a visão e a audição ou então com a ponta dos dedos congeladas (sensory deprivation).
- Ama ver a guardiã implorar por ele.
- Faz bondage
- Predador/presa kink
- Gosta da idéia de corromper a guardiã, brinca com o fato dela ser muito boazinha/certinha.
E é isso, meu povo. Beijos no coração

Alguns headcanons sexuais que você não pode me dizer que não são verdade sobre: Leiftan (+18)
- Tem tara por breeding kink/impregnation.
- Ama os seios da guardiã, principalmente chupar eles.
- Antes da chegada da guardiã ele não se masturbava muito, talvez um ou duas vezes na semana, mas a após a sua chegada foi algo que se tornou algo diário, principalmente quando ele passava o dia com ela.
- Já roubou uma peça de roupa dela só para ficar cheirando enquanto se masturbava.
- Ele gosta de ir lentamente, e quando goza gosta de dar a última investida fundo.
- Após gozar ele gosta de passar um tempo dentro da guardiã.
- Ama dar orais para a guardiã, não se importa de receber, mas ama fazer orais nela.
- Ele prefere tirar um tempo do dia dele só para fazer sexo com a guardiã do que uma rapidinha.
- Ele prefere algo mais privado, com conforto a sexo rápido e em público.
- Tem uma tara em comer a guardiã na sua forma demoníaca (e quem não tem tara por ser comida por ele assim).
- Ama quando ela olha diretamente nos olhos dele, seja no sexo oral ou no vaginal.
- Ele é muito possessivo, e gosta de ouvir da própria guardiã que ela o pertence.
- Ele faz praising kink com a guardiã.
- Na forma demoníaca dele ele costuma ser mais dominante, menos gentil e mais possessivo. Geralmente acontece quando ele tá irritado.
- Às vezes ele aperta a mão ao redor do pescoço da guardiã, mas nunca chega a propriamente enforcar ela (a não ser que ela peça).
- A posição favorita dele é papai e mamãe, assim ele consegue ver o rosto da guardiã.
- Ele não teve muitas experiências sexuais na vida, a maior parte das vezes foi para descobrir como agradar uma mulher na cama, outras foi por pura necessidade sexual. Mesmo assim, ele tentava imaginar como se fosse com sua alma-gêmea (ainda desconhecida na época).
- Jamais dividiria a guardiã com ninguém, isso está fora de questão (só queria um treesome entre ele a guardy e o Lance 😢).
- Na primeira vez dos dois ela queria fazer sexo oral nele, mas ele estava muito perto de gozar (ele ansiava demais por aquele momento), então recusou gentilmente em prol da penetração.
- De todos os 4 meninos é o que melhor chupa (minha opinião sem nenhuma base científica mas muito sincera).
- Gosta de fazer tranças no cabelo da guardiã, facilita na hora de puxar o cabelo dela, e impede que fique no meio.
- Ele gosta de dar ordens.
- A faceta de bom menino cai completamente quando eles estão na cama, ele não chega a ser extremo mas definitivamente se torna uma pessoa mais séria, não deixando de ser cuidadoso.
- Ele gosta de tirar um tempo para focar só em beijos massagens e carícias, ele acha prazeroso e também gosta de ver as caras e bocas que a guardiã faz.
- Ele prefere gozar dentro.
E acho que por enquanto é isso. Também tenho headcanons para o Lance, bem… mais para o Ashkore do que para o Lance, mas enfim.

Remember when ANE’s writer wrote a sob post about hardiship of writing for a game with established fandom? I sure do.
I fondly recall something like “if you do not write, you should not complain” and “do not judge the story before it ends”. Well, he wrote it waaaay more poetic, because he knows the words.
You see, we are at the end of story. No matter how well written the last episode will be- the plot will suck. There is no other option, because there are too many unfinished sideplots left, unbaked characters, and (personal opinion here)- the idea of Eldarya and Earth consuming each other and changing into new world is not satisfying. Sure, it can be technically written well, with FINALLY no repetitions, or unnecessary scenes, but the story won’t be good.
But we are at the end whether we wanted or not, so is it my time to say it with Beemoov’s blessing? Can I say it now?
It sucked.
The romance was awful- Lance and Erika “discussing” Valkyon’s death (and I use quotation because it wasn’t a proper discussion, it was Lance discouraging Erika from repeating his mistake. Good one, but on his route there was a dire need of real discussion about HIS deed and HIS feeling). Sex scenes instead of building intimacy and trust. Boys acting the same- the only difference between those love scenes are Lance’s obsession with choking Erika on illus and Nevra’s biting us.
Erika was even worse than Candy. Here, I said it. At least Candy has some feelings for her parents.
What about that djin? What about Tenjin? Kitsunes, who were loyal to their king (and why shouldn’t they, it’s not like he treated them badly)? What about faeries who are hostile to humans, how do you think they will react to Earth? What was Ophelia’s role? I still want to know Leiftan’s past! What about Erika’s mother- is our MC ok with her being somewhere… around… not remembering her child? What about Memoria? Why Valkyon is so forgotten in ANE, he was a core member of the battle and rebirth of Eldarya- rebirth, that was obviously not needed if things go shite now.
And many, many, MANY more. But, since it’s the end and now we know where “the writer wants to take us” so now it’s my time for “deciding on what parameters to judge it”- All of them. Everything was either mediocre or just bad. You murdered the story, game, fandom and you probably do not even realize why and how.

Not to be dramatic or anything but..I don’t care for Malbonte’s justification for all this shit. I know damn well if I was in his position and he in mine, I’d do everything I can to protect him and be it there is a solid explanation for all this, it doesn’t fucking matter because he still chose to treat us like this. Man fuck this guy

I didn't finished the episode 16. The reason is I'm in the FengHuang's Temple, why? I don't know, but I hope this would be fixed soon so I can finish the episode.
So far, all I can think of is "what the hell is going on?!". Honestly, if New Era hadn't been written, it would be for the best. Some scenes and dialogues are just stupid, plain or unnecessary, this season destroyed everything we known about the first season. They literally destroyed everything they had as good in the game
And why do I keep playing? Because I was captivated by the good characters in TO. It's sad, because I'm watching they die slowly and agonizing because of the awful plot. And I bet, that we won't receive a third of the things MCL are receiving (Alt. Life, Wedding, Honeymoon).
Sorry, I just needed let it go.

QUERO DEIXAR BEM CLARA AQUI MINHA CONSTERNAÇÃO EM A GUARDIÃ NÃO PODER SER A PORR@ DE UM DAEMON E ENFIAR A IDEOLOGIA DA TAL DA FIROULA NO ¢U DO PAI DELA.
Mano, se fosse comigo, e o Leiftan tivesse morrido, eu faria um pacto com todos os daemons possíveis para possuírem o corpo da Erika e ir acabar com a raça humana na base da porrada.
E essa seria a vibe.

Nothing of this would have happened if wasn't for the potion.
Her father would think that she was abducted or killed, and years later he would have accepted her absence.
Again I blame Miiko.
E NOVAMENTE NADA DISSO TERIA ACONTECIDO SE NÃO FOSSE POR CAUSA PORÇÃO. Culpa da infeliz da Miiko.

General rambling about Eldarya and questionable direction choices
Oh gods, that’s gonna be long. Actually, I don’t play Eldarya anymore, it just feels like a waste of time right now. But fortunately, a lot of my friends are still brave enough to continue, so I have a lot of insight in what’s actually happening in the game.
I’m writing this mostly because of this post, or rather, the article that was mentioned in it. It is mostly the Eldarya writer’s response to all the criticism from the players and oh boy… Not going into details because some people actually did this, but just quick summary of my personal opinion after reading this (just my thoughts regarding Eldarya, I’m not even going to mention the attitude that shows in the article): I somehow feel like the person writing Eldarya doesn’t like the game as a whole – the genre, target, setting. I heard from people that play MCL Alternate Life that it’s actually pretty good so maybe the fantasy part is the problem? Or it can also be lack of solid preparation to write something like this.
Anyway, as for my thoughts regarding Eldarya.
1. They don’t know its players
Actually, no, more than that. I feel like they don’t have any specific target in mind. Beemov games started when most of us was like 12-14. But the thing is, now we are mostly adults and younger people don’t seem to be so eager to join the fandom (not that the games have anything to offer to younger players, I mean, for example playing Eldarya before unlocking the market is absolutely devastating experience). And right now we have a game that is trying to be everything. For some parts, I feel like this is written for children. But then we go to the more heavy themes that would be either not suitable for their age, or simply boring for them. In the same time, this “heavy stuff” I’m talking about feels so unrealistic and grotesque that despite efforts, you just can’t take it seriously. And with this we go to the second part.
2. Because they don’t know their own players, they don’t know what genre should they even make. And how to approach it.
But, really – if you’d have to tell someone, what Eldarya is – what would you tell them? Their main page is saying “romance and adventure fantasy game”. In the google play, it’s tagged as otome. The writer’s words: fantasy adventure series - what, you could say, also shows that the romance is so low on his priority list that he doesn’t even mention it – could be just understatement but I feel like it’s worthy to point out. So, what we get if we sum this up – three keywords – romance, fantasy, adventure.
As for romance… We all know what it’s like right now. As someone that was aiming for the Lance’s route, all I can do is laugh. To be honest, I’ve never believed this will be good route. I like the trope, but this just couldn’t go well with everything we’ve seen before, especially with only 20 episodes. I’m not sure if it’s worse than what I thought it will be, but definitely is no good. Emotions are non-existent. Everything is just… dry. Narration tells me that characters feel certain way but I just don’t see it, I don’t know why, I don’t feel anything. Those rare romance scenes we get are so out of place that you can think someone in the team was like: “Wait, I forgot there was supposed to be romance in the game! Let’s just throw some random kiss here, yeah, that will be great!”. Absolutely meaningless.
Fantasy? Right… You know, if you read/played/watched a lot of fantasy genre, you know that making it good is not about “oh, let’s put magic and dragons here”. From my experience it can be either the easiest or the hardest genre possible, depending on the writer. You don’t have restrictions. You don’t have to do boring research on “how the law works in this country at the other side of the ocean in terms of what I need here” for this to be coherent. Creative freedom 100%, you can do anything, rules from our world don’t matter and yet, you can use some of them which will make your work easier. You don’t even have to be Tolkien or Sanderson, with their fantasy worlds that have been created from scratch in every little detail for over 10 years. You don’t need explanation for everything, you can make it simple – just make it work and stand by the rules you’ve already made. We have magic in Eldarya, but actually we don’t. How many times did you see characters actually using it? I’m not counting alchemy here, just pure magic. Kero used telekinesis ONCE. In TO tutorial if I remember correctly. Or one of the first episodes. I don’t feel like the magic is integral part of this world so how could it be convincing when they suddenly use some strange spell/ritual/thingy to solve a major problem important for the main plot (let’s not even start this whole discussion on how it’s not really a good idea to use pure magic powers to solve a problem, especially if you didn’t introduce those powers ).
And now, with the most recent episodes – fantasy… yeah. Someone on our discord server said something that sums it up pretty well – Eldarya is right now something like MCL but with explaining us in most stupid ways possible how our own world works.
And adventure… Well, I could make a whole post about “everything wrong with” for just that one part. Let’s start with – why on earth did they choose military conflict as a main plot for this game? Don’t get me wrong, I love fantasy with those type of conflict, I really do. But it’s also very difficult and requires research – and here it is non-existent. Some time ago, with a couple of friends, we’ve been discussing 30 episode of TO, or rather, the battle itself. I’m not going to do this again, it would be way to long. But – if you’ve watched GOT, especially the last season. If you’ve seen Battle of Winterfell. And if you’ve seen some analysis of everything that went wrong with it from the tactical point of view. Yeah, Eldarya repeated every single mistake and added some more. If you’re curious about those things, just go to youtube, a lot of experts explained it very well – I’m sure you’ll see similarities. If you’re not –
Look at the map. HQ is really solid place for defence. We have hill, high walls and the cliff on the other side, so there is only one side for the potential assault. Wall is the perfect place for archers, crossbowmans and mages. While defending the city, you take advantage of it – especially of its walls – to the maximum. What you DON’T do, is going outside of those walls with your forces, to fight a battle on the BEACH. I guess most of us have walked on a sand at least once. Yeah, imagine fighting on that kind of terrain. And Lance’s army? Attacking from the beach side, really? He’s a dragon, they could literally fly with him and chose best place possible, and they chose BEACH? Just imagine them, walking one by one, just like some ducklings, up those very narrow, rock stairs that lead to the HQ. And that’s just the top of the iceberg.
In ANE on the other hand – we have diplomatic mission, for example. Here there is no point of telling what was wrong with it – there wasn’t a single thing that was right. They came to the ruler and king of the country they’d like to cooperate with in a way. What are first things they do? 1. Show of power. 2. Disrespect for the monarch (I don’t care right now what he’s like, he’s still a monarch and a ruler). 3. Going there with the very person he’s in power conflict with, also being his past wife (and probably present wife by law), a refugee that they gave an asylum in the guard. Telling him no, we won’t hand her over to you. Well, if that is not provocation then I don’t know what is.
I’m not telling that they should create great and realistic plot with R. R. Martin’s level of politics and complicated military situation. I mean, I would be delighted, but I’d be in minority, most of players would be bored by it. But! There are already things that are doing really good job (in my opinion) with simplifications! A Ranger’s Apprentice for example, or The Powder Mage Trilogy. Both of them touch the topic, in completely different ways, but both of them work on the simplified concepts of complex conflict (also military conflict). What I think makes them work is the fact that the authors did really good job with their research. In Ranger’s Apprentice you can find a lot of concepts that are brought up in The Art of War by Sun Tzu. They are simple concepts by themselves – but they are real and logical. What Flanagan did was probably taking some of them and making them the main focus for the certain part of the plot. You read about some kind of the tactic characters use – it’s nothing complicated by itself but just feel like it could work – of course it does, because it did through the real history. It’s just simplified, and with the simple narration it makes the books fun even for the younger audience – and not grotesque for older one, as long as you understand and accept existence of those simplifications. This is what Eldarya lacks. It tries to bring up complicated topics in simplified way, but you just cannot do this from nothing. We are not strategists or tacticians – but we can read and take inspiration from other sources. With a little of logical thinking on top of that, it is possible.
They could do all of that. Or they could just stick to the things that worked perfectly fine. I mean the very beginning of the Eldarya: TO. It was simple – we had clear main goal – collecting Crystal shards. We had some problems that we had to overcome – food shortage, human organizations, Ashkore (rest in peace, my favourite character :< ) and the fact that the guard leader was young and inexperienced what made her more likely to make mistakes. We also had enough space for our love interests, enough time to get to know them, get attached to them (as a character, but also as a player), get some quality fluff we deserved. Personally, I think this simple problems would be much more fitting for the game like Eldarya that despite being fantasy and adventure, more than anything should focus on romance. Generally I think Eldarya right now lacks everything that would make the game good – there is no real direction, no real idea, no research, and most importantly, no passion from the creators (or if it’s there, sorry but I don’t feel it). It just feel like a project everyone in the team is tired of creating, would love nothing more than to throw it away and never ever look at it again, but just cannot stop right now because they have to finish is somehow. You know, the kind of feeling you get when you’re at the end of writing your thesis. And it’s sad. Because it had potential – not the kind of potential like masterpieces in the gaming world, but enough potential to become really fun game that you play as a form of relax after a hard day in job/school, also donating it once in a while as a form of appreciation for the creator’s work. I could write even more but it’s already almost 2000 words so I’ll stop here.
Summary: they don’t know what to do but also won’t listen to their own players because of reasons. Result – no one gets what they want.
Oh, also, one last but very important thing! I don't like the concept of aengel powers AT ALL. I think Gardienne should be simple human or have powers so limited that they could just support her but not solve the problems for her. Why? Because maybe that way we could see solid character development, MC that relies on abilities that was earned and not handed over to her. Working with her own creativity, problem-solving skills and the knowledge she gained during both her life on Earth and in Eldarya. Right now, everything that defines her and her abilities - are her powers (and what's funny is the fact that writers KNOW this and shamelessly throw this on us whenever possible - you know, all the "now with my powers I'm invincible" rambling). Yep, now I'm done for real. xD
