    In that case my 200k rat ear collection is probably obsolete now since they're buyable from a merchant again due to the passage of eras. So basically have to sub for a month to get the potion claim. No big deal. Goblet of Adventure II isn't the best though, 25% over 8 hours. Aren't 50% pots...

    Who was it in FF16 who offed herself? Was it the evil queen? I'm drawing a blank on FF16 in general but I vaguely remember this. And I agree that they messed up a bunch of magical parts in the FF7 remakes so far: -Not having Barret's theme play while walking around Sector 7 at the beginning of...

    That's a real image right there. I think it's pretty likely that "the meek will inherit the Earth" and not know what to do with it. I learned from James Cameron's terminator future war mythology that in the event of a nuclear war, the only areas that would really be left alone from nuking would...

    'Nother persona question: Is there anything stopping you from switching personas to a caster, going to a place and binding yourself there (like the Seb bubble), origining, switching back to your non-caster main, and gate potioning back to the new bind point? Or at least reappearing there upon...

    How do these anniversary EXP potions work? Just log in on any character and it'll give you a /claim for it? I assume you only need to log in once per account. I should probably get that done. Yeah I feel that. Haven't logged into a high level character on a live server since like 2015 and even...

    Words to live by, but social media gave everyone a voice, dictated that they take a side and have an opinion, etc. Now all of those tendencies have bled over into the real world and nobody knows how to shut the fuck up anymore.

    Yeah, wood elf covers that too. So how many of these persona do you have by default, 3? Only need to buy 2 slots, or 1 if your main is one of the five races Xevy mentioned. Obviously dru/wiz have to do less. If you do all of those I don't think bard is really all that useful after all for runs...

    At some point (Miragul server I think) I tried doing a heroic 85 necromancer to go do some soloing and whatnot. Was getting beaten down by DB mobs in New Feerott just trying to get the J5 merc tasks done, while I tried to figure out all the AAs and everything for 60-85 that I wasn't familiar...

    Alright, so -Level 5 Bard persona with a drum for running somewhere out-of-the-way, preferably with a centralized Origin like Freeport (though even this is sounding situationally useful at best since you can just do an Origin persona) -Level 5 Iksar persona (if not Iksar) for switching over...

    Persona 3 Reload

    P3 doesn't really go insane until like the last 10% IIRC. For the most part I found the main story to be on the slow side since I wasn't into the sim aspects as much as the dungeons/combat and spent most of my time doing Tartarus for that reason.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure the 200k rat ears I hoarded are on Mischief, because I did it right before they made merchants stop selling them. It was a great leveling route at the time. Mischief was well after Phinny and they still gave good exp when they were removed from merchants. You might be...

    So basically just...PoK and Nexus? Where do you persona-change in Classic-Velious? At least in DoN+ you can do this in the Guildhall and then port to where you're going. Sounds like they drained much the usefulness out of the concept and basically just made it a way to share flags and nodrop...

    TBH I'd be happy with people like that just being completely irrelevant, like they used to be. Nobody pays attention to them, nobody cares, let them do whatever it is that they do in their little corner of society. Though her attitude got so pervasive that it's no longer irrelevant, it should be.

    It was a while ago, I don't remember anything that happened in those games except that I think Superman went evil at some point and eye-beamed people. Fighting game stories aren't generally the most engaging, though the modern MK/Injustice types have elevated fighting game stories quite a bit.

    As in, any town zone? Too bad you can't switch anywhere, but any town zone is workable. Still say a level 5+ Bard with a drum is a very good idea to Persona. Pre-mounts it'll help a lot with getting from town to town. Be kind of funny to have to duck into Neriak on the way to Sol A/B just to...

    I'm guessing buffs (SoW) aren't shared, given the level reset and all. Might be smart to Persona a Bard and get them to level 5 (or higher) with a drum for travel purposes, then switch back once you reach the zone you're running to.

    Yeah I'm not sure if people know how BAD berserkers actually are early-era. Most get them to 65 quick once they're available, PL, twink up, whatever the case may be. Zerker starting at level 1 from scratch, until about level 60, is terrible. The flimsiness of a rogue and the low DPS of a...

    That's a pretty easy mistake to make since the cooldown refreshes before the ability fires, plus I think it's the only "delayed fire" ability. I imagine a lot of people do that without knowing it, thinking it's just a basic DD. But yeah, Bellow damage is really low until later expansions anyway...

    If we're talking about a group and not a box situation, 3 rogues could work (maybe). Ping pong the aggro around, 2 out of 3 backstabbing at any given time. Warrior DPS is so abysmally bad in classic/kunark that if we're looking at those eras I think that would be the worse of the two. Take ages...

    There's been some talk about what the best 3-box combinations are. What's the WORST 3-box combination? Like absolute worst? I'm gonna say 2 rogues and a wizard. Wizard ends up tanking everything while the rogues backstab, no heals. Then again even this group could probably win fights without...

    I mean, SKs need to be able to tank as backup regardless of era. Also anyone who is multiboxing better have their tank be their raid character unless they want to get stomped by group content. Knew a guy who mained a Bard and had a box Warrior he wanted to eventually be his main, but all his...

    I think you were onto something, I switched power mode from "balanced" to "performance" and I think the lag is gone.

    Not sure what you mean, but I did run the troubleshooter for power settings and it came back with no issues. Noticed that all the little lag bumps are more of a problem when it isn't plugged in, i.e. running off the battery.

    Nope, nobody has kicked out of it in AEW. Kota Ibushi kicked out of it a decade ago since they were tag partners and knew each other's moves, and that's it. Someone hit Kenny with the OWA a while back and he kicked out of it at 1 and went nuts. Other than that, the OWA is the most effective...

    Two questions: Anyone know what game this is from? I'm gonna guess one of the Injustices. Also, is that blonde the agent that was on Peacemaker and played by Gunn's GF or something like that? Looks like it could be the same character.

    I think there's something to that, I've noticed it too. Maybe blinking is some kind of defense mechanism? These people tend to be afraid of a lot of stuff. Also noticed a certain tone of voice is common that's like they're barely stifling a cry or anger or something.

    It always amuses me how people outside top guilds talk about top guild raiding, calling them "no lifers" and whatnot.

    Sounds like they just fixed it to the intended 10% increase, probably the best way to handle it. I think the focus decays quickly after level 100 but Necro epic is still good up until around then.
