    Total War: Warhammer

    That's probably why, I don't have all the DLC yet, only grabbed the free ones and 1 or 2 that were half off on sale.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Its Eltharion's faction. He's a pretty good sized faction now, around 10 bases. I have good standing with him and good overall standing, but he is in some defensive and military alliances with the Empire and Lizard groups; which from looking up on the wiki, seems to skew how the power balance...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Picked this up on a whim while i wait for the next FFVIX patch to drop. Previously, the only RTS's i have played were WC3 and Red Alert 2 and 3, so this is definitely a bit different style but fun. Started as Tyrion on Normal difficulty since it was recommended as a good starting point, and it...

    The EX trial gives Dyeable versions of the level 80 class gear, I believe.

    Path of Exile

    So, I'm thinking about playing this for a bit after being away for quite a while. Last time I played I had a Necro Witch with lots of minions, which was fun but I am wanting to try something different this time around. I think I would still like it to be ranged but not minion focused. I'd...

    Computer Issues

    So, I am having an issue with my relatively new computer (6 months old). I have a Dell Inspiron 5680; with an Intel Core i7-8700 CPU, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 video card, 250GB SSD Hard-drive (which has all my programs and games) and an extra 1TB Disk Hard-drive. I am getting a random...

    Yeah, a lot of folks just assume you can mass pull every dungeon in the game. I tend to pull 2 packs at most, depending on dungeon and the DPS and healers I have. If Ihave lower dps like ninja-bard and such, I'll just chain pull instead. Got tired of being on my SAM and having some derp grab...

    If you have a full set of level 50 Ironworks gear, then not really. Once you get to Idylshire in the Heavensward questline, there's a vendor there who sells level 60 "Shire" gear which you can then start buying in prep for hitting 60. Will last you until middle of Stormblood.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Late to the discussion here, but this is why I quit WoW and have so far had no desire to return. I've played Blizzard games for a long time and was at least invested in seeing where the story would go for many of the characters. Legion was pretty solid in that regard and had a good storyline...

    Overall, I would say no. I leveled from ARR all the way through Stormblood as WAR just fine, especially once i had my chocobo healing me, since nothing in the quests came close to killing me and kill speed wasn't that much slower than a DPS, since I could often pull 3-4 mobs and AoE them down...

    I enjoy both Samurai and Red Mage myself. Samurai has a nice simple rotation/combo system, so its nice once you have your rotation down so you can focus on the fights rather than your keybinds. As far as the MSQ, I think you should have the "Road to 70" buff, so you should be fine just...

    I believe Yoshi is on record stating that he hates the pre-30 jobs and would prefer all the jobs to start outright witheir crystals, hence why newer jobs do just that. But they would have to go back and rewrite-recode ALL the old content to change it. As far as the ShB role quests, i believe...

    Soken: "Yoshi, just how epic do you want the music in Shadowbringers?" Yoshi: "Yes." Soken: "Say no more fam." So much good music, been loving a lot of the boss music and even some of the zones themes themselves have been great.

    I enjoyed the ARR story line myself, although it did have its moments where it dragged slightly; going through some of the side content like the Hildebrand adventures helped cure that. But I realized that they wanted to at least tie into the original story plus had to lay all of the groundwork...

    Finished the MSQ last night and goddamn i haven't played a story like that in a long, long time, especially not in an MMO. I only hope they can keep it up through the subsequent patches, but I have faith. I'm big into stories, lore and characters so this hit all the right notes for me; i...

    So, I finally have time to sit down and play. I kept myself from looking up any spoilers so I'm going into Shadowbringer blind and it has so been worth it. I'm guessing I'm about 40-50% through since I just finished Il Mehg and spoiler

    City of Heroes has actually been online for years....

    So, I managed to figure out what my issue is and a work around solution for it. I play in Windowed mode, with it maximized and what seems to be happening is that when I zone the screen ends up getting desynced and doesn't load properly. If I Refresh my desktop, this fixes it and its promptly...

    Desktop Computers

    It's cool, I figured as much. I'm gonna think on it for a bit, to build or just buy a pre-built. One thing I did want to find out more about is the idea of having the 2 hard drives. I get the benefit of having an SSD to do the main performance while having a large regular hard drive for...

    Desktop Computers

    Meh, I'm not gonna lie. I honestly haven't paid any attention to hardware development over the years at all, I just want my machine to run and thats just fine. I don't have the money to constantly upgrade every time a new thing comes out. Shit, i know 1TB is probably not much anymore since my...

    City of Heroes has actually been online for years....

    Eh, ended up still happening, but I think its more to do with my computer just showing its age. I'm able to move around in the zones themselves fine, it jsut seems it takes too long to load the larger ones. Might be time to look at upgrading the rig. Gonna post in the tech forum and see if...

    Desktop Computers

    So, I've been thinking its time I look at upgrading my computer. Its got a couple years on it now so was hoping to get some advise for just upgrading parts versus buying a whole new system. My current system is an Alienware Aurora with Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz processor 6GB RAM (one 4GB...

    I've re-validated the files twice now, doesn't seem to help. Getting late so I may just try tomorrow and see if its fixed itself, if not I'll try the GMs.

    Fired this up and I've run into a frustrating issue where my characters get stuck trying to zone into Port Oakes from Mercy Isle. Progress bar zips to 40% full then just sits there till it kicks me for inactivity. Not sure what I can do to fix it.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Honestly, I just look at the Time Travel details as they needed to explain just enough for the movie to work, while constantly beating it into the audiences heads that "Hey, Time Travel is dangerous" so that people aren't sitting in theaters in any other Marvel movie going "Yo, sum1 call dat...

    So, I'm working my way through the post Stormblood questlines. Whats the best way to get a good ilevel weapon at this point? I have the 290 one from my 70 class quest, but im starting to feel the dragc on my DPS and in ilevel by not having it upgraded.

    Far as Blue Mage is concerned, I have just dabbled in it. I assume the thought process was release it as a Limited job to see if/how badly the players can figure out how to abuse it. tweak it later on and buff it up to a full class once the dust settles and they see how it initially pans out...

    Got through the post-ARR questline and finally reached Heavensward. Almost makes me wish I had been playing back when it was new cause the end of the ARR questline was pretty crazy there. My warrior hit 60 just in the ARR content, so I'm leveling my Samurai with the HW MSQ. Figured it was...

    Yeah, I found the vendors in Mor Dhona, so I'm going to buy some armour from them to bump my ilevel up. Took a break form questing to unlock a bunch of the hard dungeons with the sidequests. Also got a quest to do the Ultima Weapon trial, not sure how hard it is now. Looks to be complicated...

    Finished the main ARR, just getting into the Post-ARR storylines now. I know it will take a bit before I hit Heavensward, so is there anything I should spend my tomestones on or should I just hoard them for now till more relevant content?

    Mid 40s now on my Warrior. Still got a good 25 days left on Free Trial before I'll need to sub. Got Summoner and Scholar unlocked so far. Might try and unlock Samurai at 50 if i can, MSQ is still down in the mid 20s. Will I level past 50 in the base game zones or do I stay at 50 till I move...

    Hrmm, I'll have to think about it a bit more then. I doubt ill get much into the raids, mainly just group stuff like dungeons and such. Do the summons tank for the summoner or are they temporary?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I was leaning towards a ranged class only because I'm already playing melee as a tank. Wasnt sure how Archer/Bards were versus the caster classes. Thought about a Dark Knight but it sounds like they are getting reworked and don't unlock till I hit one of the expansion content so that may wait...

    So, I have hit 20 on my Marauder so far. Once I hit 30 and finish the Marauder questline, that unlocks Warrior class I beleive? Does the Warrior then start at level 1 or at level 30? Someone mentioned earlier about cross levelling another class, so I was thinking about levelling a DPS class...
