Seriously. The perfect server would be a combination of Selo and Mischief, where things move along quick. Not quite Selo quick though. 1 month isn't enough for a lot of expansions. But 3-4 months is ridiculous. I think I'd just do a blanket 2 months per expansion for all of them and starting...

I'd be happy to 3 box once OOW is out, or whenever truebox is lifted, if I'm still around. In the meantime it's one-boxing for me because I can't be arsed to have multiple computers up like I did in the past.

You suggesting I can't beat Vordt, motherfucka?

If you threadban me, I won't be able to post anything about playing Souls 3 when I get to it. Kind of counterproductive! Yeah, we are speedrunning EQ. After that first week there'll still be raids and whatnot to do. The main impediment is actually Elden Ring's DLC in a month and needing to...

Is it fair to say that Dark Souls 3 is 2nd-best behind Elden Ring in the Soulsborne roster? I've even heard rumblings that it's better than ER, just in a different way. It's much much smaller which allowed them to make every area as refined as possible since their attention wasn't spread out...

There is a massive well of money ready to fund the "fixing" of society and eventually usher in the One World Government of Commiefornia. Good luck getting funded if you have nothing to do with all of that stuff. It's kinda like how Chris Pratt got bashed as a "Trumper" just because he wouldn't...

The gayest thing Final Fantasy ever did was probably everything in Final Fantasy X-2. That game is a sweet dress-up simulator though. Still remember how pissed-off I got when Wakka said "happy festival fireworks" (or maybe that was FFX). There was also this scene where a city was burning in...

In my experience Faceless usually has stuff going on at all kinds of hours. Also this time around with like a zillion people playing that'll probably be even more the case. Sounds to me like the events are probably expansion-gated but the currency/cashing in for rewards might be...

Funny thing is, if someone did make me do that I'd be completely happy with it even though I just played them. Can't say that about any other series. It has no weak points. Even the lulls in design of DS1 and 2 are still part of a greater whole.

Not sure if Wurmslayer can be bought, cause I haven't seen any for sale. Might be a situation where you just need to be in Frontier Mountains (EOK) at the right time when someone's doing the event. I haven't managed to get one and at this point I probably won't bother. Conflagrant 2HS with the...

This is why I didn't list it. It's something you basically get automatically while doing the others. It's also purely cosmetic.

If there's no minimum requirement (like "sign up for six months") then there's nothing stopping people from just subscribing for one month, playing the game, and cancelling. Get the whole super duper ultimate edition for $18. Not like this is an MMO you'll keep playing.

I'm trying to figure out how this is going to remotely be an Assassin's Creed game. The guy is a huge brawler. Valhalla also had this issue to an extent. Sneaking was heavily de-emphasized because it was much easier to just equip two giant swords and bash everything Souls-style.

Rewrite history to have him be a huge respected superstar... ...or have the game be about his struggles with battling prejudice and institutional racism in a land that isn't inclined to accept him? ::guy sweating over which button to press meme::

Yeah, they sure did. FF16 started really good. After that first disaster with the evil queen walking past her own handmaidens as they got their throats cut, I was completely hooked. It was like a Game of Thrones FF game. Cid was also a tremendous character, and reminded me of Methos from the...

After replaying them, right now Dark Souls 1 is my least-favorite out of all of them. Demon Souls looks incredibly pretty on PS5 and has a unique atmosphere and world. The PS3 version isn't pretty, but it has an oppressive gloomy darkness that makes it also worth playing. Yeah, I consider the...

Yeah the framerate is awful, but I managed to get used to it and stop noticing it after a little while on that latest playthrough (not switching to any other games during the playthrough also made it easier to not notice). The fact that they've just abandoned Bloodborne with 30 FPS and no...

We also need Zweihander. Square over here sitting on a gold mine

High priority: -Yelinak kill at 50: Western Wastes port. Gonna be hugely useful for batphoning or just getting to raids in general. If people only do one thing, do this, unless you're not planning on doing Velious in-era or something. Mid priority: -Cazic kill at 40 and Lethar kill at 65...

Ya know, after seeing "try jumping" messages at death-cliffs and "hidden door" messages in front of solid walls for THE ENTIRE GAME... ...near the end of Dark Souls 2, in one of the DLCs, I finally stumbled upon an actual breakable wall / hidden door for the first time in ages. And it didn't...

Charayan would probably banish both of us. Not sure what the refresh timer is on the banish spell. I could have one character take the banish while my main runs by and FDs past him, which would put me right at Yelinak, but non-FD classes would have to stand and bang it out with Charayan and I'm...

Well I didn't get to try because in a solo run the Crusaders banish me before I can even get to him. Man, that's annoying. Charayan almost can't be avoided at all, though after 3 tries I nearly pulled it off. Got past him and lucked out, dropped FD right outside Yelinak's room, got hit by a...

I bet Yelinak is soloable by a correctly twinked-out level 50 SK (and probably other tank classes too). I'm willing to try. Feel like this has been answered already, but do people have to be in raid and DZ to get the achievement, or just the raid, or just the DZ?

Wow, it has been a long time since I heard the name Hard Gay. His "anal bomb" match with Mr. Gannosuke is the stuff of wrestling legend. Wait, that was Hayabusa. Damn I'm old.

OGC vs AOS, this ain't

The funniest part was the guy was calling our raid "chaos" before it even formed up, and kept calling it that throughout the evening, while the actual raid happened in way more of an orderly fashion than I think anybody predicted. Hundreds of cheevos and it was impressive how efficiently it all...

Aren't you a leftie? If they're being too obnoxious with the messaging for you, then I imagine they're really alienating viewers who aren't left-leaning. Liberal-leaning riend of mine has been watching this entire series with his very conservative dad for many years now and they're up to...

Agreed that Torrent mitigates a lot of ER's potentially tedious travel, especially Caelid. I think of ER's overworld (everything on the map, plus the underworld) and legacy dungeons (the main big zone in each overworld area, plus unique areas like Caria Manor and Castle Sol) as being the areas...

The comments are hilarious. "So this is for people who main rogues but want to be allowed on raids?"

There was certainly some banging-out of AAs over the years. AAs are fun though. Learning abilities is fun. Farming mounts you're not gonna use and cosmetic stuff, IDK. I went for exactly one mount in WoW, and it was the phoenix mount dropped by Kael'Thas. Once he was soloable (maybe MoP? IDK) I...

He's right, the second half of Dark Souls 1 feels very unfinished. I think they had to rush development towards the end. Think of how cohesive the world is up through Anor Londo and O&S, then compare that to how sloppy and haphazard places like Crystal Caverns and Tomb of the Giants are. Lost...

Dark Souls 2 done. Okay, I was totally doing the Lud and Zallen fight wrong. If you fight them solo, the fight is WAY WAY easier. The second cat joins when the first is at like 30% HP, as opposed to 90% or so if you bring NPC allies. Also they have way less HP. Having NPCs distracting them isn't...

There's a pretty big difference between what I did in EQ and the stuff people are describing doing in WoW. I can't imagine grinding out dailies for rep every day for years and stuff like that. EQ wasn't really about grinding, I'd log on for raids and kill bosses / finish all of an expansion's...

All I have left is Frigid Outskirts and the two cats from hell, then I'm done with everything outside Elden Ring. Maybe I will Souls 3, there's like six weeks before SOTE. Depends on if time permits with the EQ stuff later this month. I've pretty much dropped Stellar Blade (for now) so that...

To be faaaaair, maybe since you were #1 DPS and he was last-place, she figured he needed stat improvements a lot more than you did and was trying to create another useful DPSer. I can't believe people spend their time this way. Played most of the WoW expansions for like one month each and did...

Oh that makes sense. Sounds like something necro and shaman could do more effectively than druid, in any case. Kinda want to try it now. Might do an SK bind rush of a certain epic mob that resides in a certain town and see how that goes with Boil Blood.

Agreed on VP. They did the same thing with Nu NTOV several expansions later. It's full of rare nameds (a lot of dragons that didn't get raid versions, like Vyemm and Dagarn) that are designed for very strong groups and drop really good stuff. Hardly anyone actually EXPed in there on Phinny...

All this talk about Veeshan's Peak reminded me that the Ring of Scale expansion (level 106-110) has VP as its final zone. It functions as both OW group content and a raid instance (most endgame zones are like that after a certain point). This VP revival is interesting because they re-did the...

Wait a minute, I remember this, or at least I remember Leycow and I remember hearing something about this happening, didn't know it was him. I was on the TT server at the time too. Leycow is the guide that showed up and gave me my JBoots after Hasten Bootstrutter ate my quest items (still, to...

By the time I was really playing for real (late 2004) the raid game was totally different and debatably a lot better. As a kid when I played in 99/00 before giving up for a few years, I didn't really get to raid much. I did a couple Velious raids that were kind of a flop as an un-epiced Rogue...
