Thinking of investing some cash in MtG for the first time in over a decade but only on new releases. My thinking is WotC are concerned about Hex infringing on their player base and sales and are likely to react by putting out some powerful cards to attract players and get a reaction from...

I bought quite a number of boxes of Revised towards the end of its run. I don't know if it was the case across the run or if it were just the boxes in my area at the time but they contained a disproportionate quantity of dual lands. I've never seen it commented on so I've tended to think it was...

The vast majority of fish give useless junk or Clear Demimateria (which is vendor trash). Reports that the highest level fish can desynth into rare crafting materials, but as you're into Fishing you know what it takes to catch those, so it depends what you are looking to do. Decent thread on...

\o/ Obv the 20 HQ got me myForagers RodGoing from 112 Gathering on the Halcyon Rod to 143 on the Foragers and with all gear max overmelded it's just enough (literally) to be able to catch 3 star fish.

You also have to remember that going through the progression upgrading your relic weapon will never be redundant. It's useful at every tier as soon as you get it, plus they have said they are going to keep on adding upgrade paths for it. As an aside, woot : Took me two weeks off...

Have you actually done this recently or are you reading about it ? The vast majority of Hunt mobs are not tier one and only reward 5 seals and 10 Soldiery IF you are in a full party and IF you manage to get to the mob and take enough part in the fight to get a contribution. If you aren't in a...

Census Leveled three different classes through dungeons the last couple of weeks. Surprising how many new players there are. I would guess the population is growing steadily.

Saw it yesterday. 7/10 for me, nowhere close to Avengers or even Iron Man 1 and 2. Too close to an origins story to me and I'm sick of origins. I'll probably enjoy 2 more 'Marvel Major Event Chronology' torrent is about the single best anything on the internet.

MMO in a browser. Wonder who Brad has been talking to ?

You have to overmeld every piece of gear for gathering professions to reach the new tiers so gathering Materia has sky rocketed in price exponentially. That's probably driving the price of the jewellery that converts into it. Similar situation with crafting materia though not so extreme. Shards...

Wanted to play but spent the last couple of days trying to overcome download issues. Lots of folks having problems, their download app is not at all resilient. Tried everything I could find on their forums and using Google. Considering how much they are charging they are taking the piss having...

Trying to download this. Launch app says it should be 20Gb. I've downloaded 2.2 Gb and then trying to launch the 'Update' it's giving an error.

Progression server is inevitable now they've made anything over 3 years old redundant on the normal servers. Just a matter of when. Also don't think the population would die out the way they have in the past. I'd go as far as to say it would be the most successful thing they've done in a decade.

It sounds like Vanguard was canned because SoE went to the all subs = Station Pass route. A number of major changes happened all at once which makes me think there were some kind of strategic review on existing games. For me at least they couldn't have made poorer choices : i) can VG ii)...

Both exceeded all my expectations.

It has PvP now also and no balancing of classes because of it. Supposed to be good but not tried it yet. I'm told BLM and WHM are good and LNC/PLD are good for stuns. PvP (Player vs Player) | FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Info (FF14, Final Fantasy XIV) Thursday Weekly Side-thread 07/24/14 | PVP...

I'm on Ragnarok, the legacy EU server. It's got a number of raiding guilds including a couple of French ones, but as you say the EU servers can be quiet off peak.

This is worth a link as well - NM monsters are in FFXIV now. They use a 'Hunt' system : Hunts: a very long guide for new-ish people : ffxiv Elite Hunting

Yeah, my bad. Higher tier Pick is 60, hat is 30 rock, lumber or 10 fish.

Servers down for a couple hours for emergency maintenance so I'll post a few things I've been up to. Adventure classes now have daily quests with various factions, 11 end game party dungeons, tiered 8 man content and tiered raiding all on probably the best group finder I've seen in an MMO...

Thought FFXIV soon as I read Tucos (excellent) post. It's simply astonishing how much has been added to the game in the 12 months since it relaunched.

Recording the following to refer back to in future as much as anything else. System is so complicated you tend to forget it when you've been away for a while. How to 100% HQ 1-2 star gear Need full HQ gear/equipment and Bouillabaise for increased CP 80 CP gear (liberal use of tricks...

As a game player quantifying a titles success should be down to : i) does the experience of playing it live up to my expectations; ii) does it further the genre and encourage more and better games to be made. Defining a success by its profitability discrete from the above factors is...

Damning stuff.

You should come back now, I think you'd really enjoy it. They've added tiers to everything from crafting and gathering to hard mode dungeons and raids. The group finder is probably the best in any MMO and combined with the class system there is just masses to do. And if you're going to level a...

Some new items just from 2.3 :Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn (FFXIV ARR) Database

It's working. Managed to connect and play for an hour. Mixed feelings on it - not as much immediate fun as others in the genre(s) (gogusrl this is made worse on your server as you select 'Arena' for server type - no contact with any kind of civilization, which seems to mean no towns or buildings...

Whether the KS was a scam or not when it launched it was full of lies - I'm not quite sure how they went from saying the money was to pay for new team members and move forward to being back pay for a group of people doing next to nothing for six months without there being uproar over it. That's...

Can you explain why they made the first hour of the game so pathetically bad that many people in beta simply gave up on the game and didn't get past that first hour, so bad in fact they decided that people would have the option of skipping it ?

Bit kind calling 1.3 a content update - it was pretty much just a group finder, which anyone knows needed to be in at launch. What happened to them having a planet a month ready to release after launch ?

Finished this build and working towards the Tsume Doom build, but I think they're both for soloing ? Moving forward any recommendations on build(s) that make you useful in dungeons/groups ?

Overall folks are right about how gimp raiding in EQ1 was but for a while it was both tough and difficult. I'm talking about after FoH and other major guilds left for WoW of course. It didn't last but I'm thinking about circa Gates of Discord, when Enchanters had to keep 15-30 mobs mezzed for up...

Haven't pulled the trigger on this, waiting for release. My thinking is : i) are these ships going to be available in game ? ii) how hard will they be to get in game to justify the price they are selling for now ? I don't see any answer that makes for happy reading.

Just got my old CCG collection folders out for the first time in over 10 years. Pleasantly surprised to find I have over 40 of the original dual lands. Sat there on the loo poring over them like Gollum. Hundreds or thousands of cards (all rares) I need to sort through to see what's junk and...

I really wouldn't buy into this project to play in the alpha or beta. To echo what's been said above it's very much alpha - but I'd add that the games development is exactly on a long ago nailed down schedule and has met all landmarks and progress goals in that time. That schedule says it's...

The lore and story telling in this game is amazing and not in your face

Came across following thread yesterday :TSW Addons YOU need Curse hosts some :The Secret World Mods - Curse

Thanks again. Build is working out well. I've just picked up the first faction mission to New York and in beta was pretty gimp compared to this stage.

I loved it beta and didn't play at release, plus I'm a big Funcom fan. Can't remember what but I think a few games all released around the same time. Especially as it's F2P (and Funcom F2P is about the best) everyone should give this a go. edit : Diablo and Tera launched a few weeks...

The ratio of DPS done by builders to finishers is a major issue. Yes finishers should do more that's why they are called finishers. But a lot of time builder DPS is verging on insignificant. Take Engineer. They go through three stages lvl 1 - 25 - Cast two x 2 builders - 1.75sec and 1.9 sec...
