Heavyarms150 chapter 6 . 5/14
Ive been wondering. Is the armor drops supposed to imitate green blue rare exotic or ascended armor from gw2?
Amidamaru88 chapter 18 . 1/10
- Ruby raised a good point about spending time together while unwinding however the other two also raised a good point about needing some time apart to relax, everyone has their own ways to chill out
- a nice remeinder that Yang does have friends from Signal, that are usually forgotten about
- hmm how did team JNPR have more time to relax when compared to RWBY? are their own projects less intensive then RWBY's?
- ? why is Weiss refusing to girl talk with her? aren't they friends or does she still see them just as teammates, hmm this might actually be an interesting plot point, focuing more on their interactions while the stuff goes down in the background, hell it's probably a good way to handle stronger characters, focus on stuff they can't punch out
- how was the team sitting if Coco was somehow able to see everything they were doing? she saw what Blake was reading and what weiss was writing down so... were they sitting right next to each other or two side by side with another two in front of them?
- the part with Cinder botthers me a bit as towards the end you made her seem more cliche, the opening had me thinking that Emerald was the POV before it switched towards Cinder
- what really surprised me was that neither Cinder or the other two mentioned anything about the new weapons and aura regeneration potions, it seems odd that while taking credit for the sensors and knowing about them she doesn't comment on the other stuff, hell the new weapons should make the other academies nervous as well, Cinder could tie this into her overall speech about Beacon growing their own power base above the other academies, it could be mitigated if Beacon shares it with some of the other academies though in what capacity? selling it? allowing Atlas to study them?
Amidamaru88 chapter 17 . 1/10
- the first bit was nice, mixing some of Weiss's backstory with the diagloue, hey she now has something in common with Ruby and Yang, mind you I don't think Qrow was that bad
- Ruby;s dialogue does seem different from the rest so kudos for that
- a nice touch showing that people have noticed the weapons that the teams are carrying around, most fics have people who seem to ignore them, another point goes to the discussion about farming the stuff
- wow so Beacon is getting more fame because of the potions, they can be a real tide turner for a lot of people, especially huntsmen out on the field, it probably stings Atals and co that they weren't able to come up with it, not bad something Vale can pride itself with, especially the current councilmen about their backing of Ozpin, which might change things later on if the Mt Glen goes according to canon, this will also add more nightmare fuel to Ironwood about the potential of these new abilities and how they might be able to get more bank for their buck if Atlas used their advanced tech to study everything
- hmm, that part about the sensor grid raises some good questions, are their abilities attracting these grimm/ are they being created? is Watts dicking around with the sensors?
- a good point about wanting to secure the source for the new weapons, they might need to establish either a permanent base there or have movile one for extraction
- don't grimm corpses dissaper rather quickly? how were they able to eat them?
- I liked the bit with Qrow mentioning events that he took part in while away and the weapon he received
- a nice bit of the chapter was the conversation between Blake and Qrow and Qrow's reasons were good as well, I doubt Blake knew to much about how WF functioned at a higher level, most likely just stuff related to Vale
- good job there at the end you Merlot, mind you it wasn't a full reveal however I'm certain it's him, you did set it earlier and later it simmer for a time
- for Sun's questions I figured the excuse could be that Blake encoutered it before during her dark and misteryous past
Amidamaru88 chapter 16 . 1/10
- nothing much to say about this chapter, things flowed well, I liked the small bits with their expersions during dialogue, it helps to show that they are not robots that just stand still and talk
- I'm guessing that Ozpin is a bit miffed about not being told about this matter earlier
- I'm curious as to how a QrowvsRaven fight would pan out, Raven would probably expect to have the upper hand because of maiden abilities and them BAM! hmm if she sees an unintentional use of magic from Ruby and Yang could she think that Ozpin made them the new maidens? it would be hilarious if she went with that line of thought
- hmm would Ironwood ask one his agents to join the guild? say Winter, because that would certainly tip the balance in the Schnee's favor, at least when it is inevitably revealed, that would cause a shitstorm about favoring that family, mind you he might not want to get his agent involved as it might appear to be potentially dangerous however if it comes to a fight his side doesn't have anyone with similar abilites, on the other other hand if has people examine Winter's new abilites then it could cause a bigger shit storm if that's what causes the information to leak to the general public, which would be hilarious, him trying to keep it secret only for it being the cause of the release
Amidamaru88 chapter 15 . 1/10

- I curious if the group will ever put to use the info they gained from the various teams visiting, level ranges, buffs and so on
- so apparently Weiss spammed the chat :), it's nice to see these little details about how they use or missue their abilities
- so Blake and Weiss are getting along better however while Blake asks that Weiss keep an open mind she should do the same thing, Weiss is more of a target for being herself, more then one faunus might want to make a name for themselves by taking a shot at Weiss, unless Blake believes that all faunus are above being petty
- the chat between the team about the level of violance they should use when defeding oneself was intersting, a nice touche to the overall issues with the faunus
- a few problems with the names ; signal/Signal; white fang/White Fang
- a small nit pick however I can't imagine what a faunus friendly helmet would look like, considering the wide range of faunus traits it seems dificult to make one
- loved the conversation between the girls while getting on their rides...butt cape :)
- the temple description wasn't anything special however it did have a nice touch of word building by mentioning similaraties with the arhitecture used in Atlas
- vytal/Vytal
- regarding their meeting with Penny, I questioned why she stuck with them when visiting the sister...no one questioned why this girl was following them? likewise during the dialogue I almost forgot she was there only remebering when she spoke up and having to ask why one mentioned that Penny was still present, it was another nice moment when Ruby used the chat for help
- my complaint about the recent dialogue is that Weiss sounded a bit to much like Yang, maybe use different words for her, change up her vocabulary so it stands out when compared to her friends
- the world building with the temple donating items was good though giving up such an important statue probably had some internal disputes or people forgot about it's powers and belived that donating it would show their support for the endeavour
- and interesting bit about the charms actually being magic, the question is how someone was able to make them...
- Merlot industries...so Im guessing that you're trying to tie the game to the main storyline alongside the future mission to investigate the place for the statue, you could probably add JNPR as well, alongside either Tay or Qrow, given the importance and possible danger
- some nice moments during the dialogue about the WF, Weiss keeping her mouth shut and Blake being grateful, Yang manking the observation about his abbs, I figured the team would kick themselves for not noticing him earlier and not being more carefull about their secret
- glad people are calling them out on their bullshit regarding party chat
- them deciding to play cops is not a good choice

15
- a nice reference with the anti bandit potion, a bit sad when they think about it because it means that Qrow had to fight them at one point
- the dialogue in the room was ok, a nice mix of keeping thins secret, preparations and sharing info, not sure what the team will do if Sun sees them drinking the potions, energy drinks ? also a nice jab about people wearing the same thing
- I figured Tay would keep the trunk more organised then it was...
- that slip when Roman appears should really get them thinking, why not use party chat? it doesnt seem like they are trying to keep things a secret
- ...I loved Sun's line about taking shots
- was it wise to blow up the shit's engines? worst case the dust container blows up as well and that would have cause some more casualites, I figured that shoting of a wing could cause similar damage
- the fight scenes were good though in some cases less exciting I think you put in to much detail on what's happening, just a personal opinion though
- damn Weiss caused some damage there with the crashing bullheads, nice entrance by the way
- hmm I figured Yang would move it to assist Blake with Torchwick, mostly because they are partners and Weiss had things well in hand with the goons
- so I'm guessing that Glynda chose to let Blake pursue Torchwick because of the distance between them
- well crap baskets I'm really hoping that Cinder and co don't have magic as well, the question is who gifted her with magic, has she just some poor kid down on her luck who got gifted with magic and later ended up commiting crimes or was it unlocked to cause chaos
- Glynda could have asked if everyone was well or something similar, asking if they are ok makes her sound like Yang or Ruby which again just seems wrong, she should have a different voice
- overall I agree with the Glynda scene she stated exactly why the rules exist and why the fucked up, trying to play hero might well end with them getting hurt or killed, the scene with her was good and although I think you could change a few words I think it was one of the better parts of the chapter
Alank2 chapter 18 . 11/21/2019
New chapter of Noble Roses! I'm so happy. Again, a quality chapter, as usual. A little downtime from combat-packed chapters, and it's a great time to show how our characters interact with each other. CFVY is getting close to our heroes, and Ruby shows her skills to impress them. It's also good to see that world-changing things our heroes do are changing the world around them, that's very realistic and rare.
As usual, amazing chapter, can't wait for more.
Zyndium chapter 18 . 11/21/2019
Nice to see that cosmetics are still important! Anyways great chapter, no complaints here, keep up the good work!
Heavyarms150 chapter 1 . 7/15/2019
I always found the bees knees line humorous if taken literally ad if i remember correctly bees have no knees so it'd be like not existing to be the bees knees.
Daughter of Ether chapter 17 . 6/5/2019
Heh. Love to see Yang and Qrow in the Corsair heavy gear sometime. It can pass for clothing. Mostly. Also Nora needs the auxillary coat too.
Daughter of Ether chapter 16 . 2/7/2019
I get base mesmer for Em. I sort of get thief for Mer, though I would have guessed deadeye since the dual focus o in his personal best fight list and the way he tends to be a harassing/damaging unit with a supporter in any group battles in series. I get the 'but he isnt a sniper' angle, but on the other hand I play a P-P D-D deadeye (and a rifle scrapper and LB druid and and and etc). Rengade for cinder though? Yeah that is just plain good sauce.

Would have guessed holosmith for Penny if anyone, but maybe youre keeping that for Velvet? I'd like to see engineering styles differentiated by user too, like Penny should make much cleaner, neater designs than Nora does for example. That is probably because I main an Ausra Engineer and I am seriously down on how all her skills use the same models as Charr engineers, even though Inquest and Flame Legion both have unique models for all the same turrets.

Still feels weird to have the goddess that noone seems to mention in GW2 being the most active. but it is also weirding me out that all the rest of the six have voice lines that mention them in game casually and ive never heard some rando in DReach casually invoke Dwayna. So that goes both ways.

Speaking of being able to do lore stuff - Nora be able to maintain and pilot a bullhead now then? Theyve finally started putting that sort of acknowledgement in game now too which is great (finally a while ago now but shh) - Engineer "this is badly out of synch" 1 i should get a harmonizing crystal and retune it or 2 I've got a crystal right here. Other classes "Those lights are blinking" 1 maybe if i jam this thing in and see? 2 I should go find an Engineer who can tell me if i can even help here.

May all your theories be sound

Noooo! You need to loot the bandits too. Discover if Zommoros has favoured you!

You know, im still interested to know why Dwayna. Sure goddess most associated with healing and all that. But walking the world I never here people cry out to Dwayna.

I hear 'Grenth take' you-your soul and 'By Grenth's teeth' everywhere. 'May Lyssa aid you' and 'Kormir guide us' literally every day. And lots of my enemies spew Balthazar's name, so did human allies until the update. But noone seems to curse or swear of greet one another or offer blessings in the names of Dwayna or Melandru, which i kinda get, human goddess or not Melandru is pretty anti-human all told. But I wonder why noone casually invokes Dwayna in the street.

And yeah, your auto-correct disease is getting worse each chapter.

Huh, Kormir. Did not expect that actually. Tbh i was expecting you to go off the list of playable legends, but I expected someone like Summer Rose, rather than a GW legend. I also see Kormir and the rest of the six as kind of unworthy gods, having met some. Though I guess even they have a place in the eternal alchemy.

ooooohhh, talking with Glint? Kinda want to imagine jade wind vs grim who have no aura to recover from it with though, so maybe shiro?

wait i can just look at the next chapter.

Pro tip - someone who stays up late is a night owl. A night eye is one of the extra headlights long haul trucks use.

Making engineers basically tinkers huh? From lore I saw them more like quicksmiths - using a bastardised mend cantrip to rapidly assemble stuff from bags of standardised parts as needed.

And Ruby recommended everyone take weaponsmith? Really? Not a single huntsman with all those firearms? Six out of eight use them. Ren uses pistols with bayonets. Sure you'd want to rename it for avoiding confusion but seriously.
