Did they fix the 2.0 and 2.5 effects stacking? And are there any other epics that cumulatively stack a 2.5 effect like that (I.e. any other classes where the 2.5 is a must)? Didn't even know that was a thing. Barely played DODH since live so the itemization of it is a blind spot. Lul, that...

IIRC it isn't that hard to get either. Sounds like it's even better than I thought as well. If one is running what I consider the holy trinity of 3-boxing (SK/SHM/BRD), that group really gets sick during OOW. All 3 epics are probably in the top five 2.0s.

Looking forward to a potential Dirge remake that fixes some of the problems with that game. Just changing the battle system to be like FF7R and CCR would fix a lot of the issues by itself. Always thought that game had a ton of potential to be good and failed in execution. It shows a lot of...

In Ogre Battle I would consolidate all of my strongest unit leader characters into one unit and then just steamroll everything with that one unit. Had an overflow/backup unit with a few more strong characters consolidated, and I'd leave that one guarding the base in case anyone slipped by...

For the weapon or the effect? Not familiar with BST 2.0 (or BST in general). IIRC the monk 2.0 and berserker 2.0 are both extremely good weapons for a while. Zerker 2.0 is BIS for the entire level 70 era and I didn't replace it until the Frostcrypt hammer four expansions later. Even then it...

Just had a crazy thought: A Kunark launch server where everyone starts with their epic 1.0 right out of the gate. Gotta be level 40+ for the quests, but it'd be easy enough to eliminate the required level (if they have one) and have a recommended level of 50 so they basically level up with you...

Yeah the Ranger 1.0 is wildly underrated. So useful in general compared to most of the others. Probably top 5 for 1.0s. I like the Bard 1.0 a lot because it takes the place of all of the instruments at once (and it's BIS for all of them in Kunark I believe, maybe also Vel/Luc, not sure). So it...

Bard is certainly one of the most skill-dependent classes though. Yeah you can do all of that if you're "on" all the time. There's no such thing as lazily soloing with a Bard though like you can with a Necro or Mage. That said, the craziest, most off the wall things I've ever pulled off in EQ...

Maybe we'll get Atabishi teaming up with Vicious to take on Faceless. Then Zaide and Sieger have to go out to the jungles of Cambodia to find their old foe AoS and try to broker an alliance. Echoes of Elysium pulls up and no one knows which side they're on, like the Cardassians in Deep Space Nine.

Probably the best Epic 2.0 out of all of them, too. Someone with Youtube talent should make videos ranking the epics and epic 2.0s, with their pros and cons weighed. Don't think anything like that exists on Youtube now. Off the top of my head I'd say the top four 1.0s are Cleric, Monk, Bard...

Meh, wasn't missing anything then. The Mario + Luigi spinoff on portables is probably where all the RPG went. Never bothered with those though. Too bad we never just got a straight Mario RPG 2.

Yeah, in Part 3 I fully expect Speaking of Part 3, when I was replaying the Yuffie DLC I realized that Nero was still around at the end of it and made off with Sonon. Didn't remember that at all, thought Sonon was gone. So we might see Sonon again in Part 3. The fact that Nero's still around...

I don't know anything about what Tyson is capable of now. Are people expecting this fight to be competitive? With what little I know I would expect Tyson to murder this dude, despite the age gap. From what I'm reading Jake Paul is somewhat legit and Tyson holds back a lot because there's a lot...

To be faaaair, all of those could easily be satellites in orbit. They seem to all be maintaining consistent speeds. If one slows down, stops, speeds up again, shoots off at high speed... that'd be pretty definite, but I haven't ever seen one like that on video, just described.

That would be an incredible superpower and I'd go for it myself at this point. I have family members telling me that prices are going down at the grocery store and "things are improving", based on absolutely nothing. They can't supply an example of anything going down, and everything is up. Gas...

ID EE does have assassin, monk, sorcerer. I think assassin is a rogue subclass and sorcerer might be a mage subclass. Monk is its own thing and had a couple weird subclasses I didn't fool with. You choose all of this on character creation. Unfortunately nope I never started any of these "for...

TLDR: The game is great and fumbles the last chapter, as I predicted weeks before it came out, based on the first one doing the same thing.

They remastering Thousand Year Door? Did they ever remaster the first Paper Mario? Maybe I can finally play those. Huge Mario RPG fan but didn't play the "sequels" because they looked so different.

Yarp, always used the default one. That would probably be a good workaround. What's the default command for that, Ctrl B? I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Yeah the touch screen bullshit was definitely hurting more than it helped. I switched that computer out for an ASUS with identical specs (most importantly, it also has an OLED screen), no touch screen, and an RTX 3050. This one runs EQ with no issue whatsoever, good framerate, crowds of people...

Game works, but I gotta say the performance is pretty bad. Kinda choppy framerate, stalls for a second fairly regularly when loading crowds of people...

Thanks, the last post in that thread worked, it's starting without issue now.

Potentially dumb question. Never had any trouble getting EQ to work on a new computer before. Moved the directory over to a new computer (didn't do an install) and was missing d3dx9_43.dll. No problem, got that and put it in the EQ directory. Now getting this message: What am I doing wrong...

The fact that they never show you the Viceroy's face is interesting and tells me that he's gonna be someone we know. Otherwise why not show him? So I got to running down the list of recognizable characters who are unaccounted for in the FF7 mythos as of the end of this game, and the list pretty...

Jesus, all these people have the same expression and dead eyes (yet oddly sparkly). It's like the fucking Pod People in here.

I wouldn't worry about it too much because in NG+ / chapter select you can just straight-up choose who you want to go on the date with during that chapter. It isn't just that they didn't want to kill Genesis. They brought him back at the end of Dirge of Cerberus as this huge reveal, like he...

Looks to me like the Super Bowl was supposed to be 49ers vs Ravens when the logo was created months ago. Who replaced the Ravens at the end of the season? The Chiefs, who were swimming in fan speculation that games were being rigged to boost them to the SB. If anything, this makes the Chiefs...

Part 3 has the FF7 Disc 2 stuff to go through, plus this Shinra/Wutai war (weird how we never see The Viceroy's face in this one). That war will be a convenient way to explain not letting you fly to Wutai until it's time ("we can't violate their airspace!") Would be cool if Genesis shows up...

I'd say someone needs to get on the red phone and page @Dima at the Kremlin to really spice things up. Not happening though unless something wildly changed in the past year or so.

I already know what my ideal static group makeup is gonna be, just need to find the right players now.

Beat the game. Very good game, probably the new best game in the entire FF series. Not even joking.

I have a major peeve: Why does the game constantly slow things down during dramatic moments? So many dramatic moments get gutted because it switches control to the player and you have to walk Extremely Slowly towards a distant target. Happens at the beginning in Nibelheim, and a bunch of times...

That reminds me, I was telling someone the other day that I bet a ton of people call into work sick (or use vacation time) for the DLC launch day, which is a Friday. I bet it's enough to be noticeable, like a Dragon Quest in Japan.

This is probably the game of the decade so far, and worth playing. Not just playing, getting into and doing everything. However it's pretty hard at first. There are plenty of tools to help you as you get further along and most of it isn't bad at all outside of a few major hiccup bosses (most of...

Shhh I want less competition. Past a certain point Paladin is also crucial to have at least one of so you can get Brells on everyone who isn't a meleer and doesn't need Ranger buffs. That adds a ton of collective HP to a raid. Noticing more and more that hardly anybody wants to run Paladin...

I also get more female attention when I grow hair out, can add to that chorus. However I have a (small) bald spot in the back that fucks everything up and I end up just combing hair back to cover that. Also missing a tooth right now so I can't smile at anybody. Hooray! What got me the most...

Tore a muscle (or have a pinched nerve), had to hit the ER when it wasn't getting any better after a day or so of awful pain. Even with "10/10" pain and barely able to even raise one arm, they gave me some ibuprofen. Are hospitals that terrified of prescribing anything strong anymore because of...

Oh man, I forgot about Battle Leap. Such a fun ability in the lategame. I knew quite a few Warriors who could dish out tons of DPS and post surprising parse numbers.

Someone was saying earlier that Enc + Nec is better than adding a second Enc in this era. What about for a third of the same pair? Enc/Nec/Nec or Enc/Nec/Enc?
