That first sword upgrade being 3k while you only have 2k was the bane of my existence for a little while. Ended up getting the card boosters and Steal instead, then when I got 3k a couple hours later I went back and got the sword. They kinda dangle it in front of you at the beginning. The story...

Innoruuk Shaman can get it too? Nice. Even if it's the weakest snare it's still something. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1254 Looked it up finally. Damn, it's Clinging Darkness, not Snare. That's a significant downgrade for anything besides aggro. Six-second casting time...

Yeah, Eligor was an awesome fight (with, again, great music from the FF13-2 composer). I think Eligor and Hell House are my two favorite bosses. A lot of the boss fights really drag on, but those were very engaging/challenging. Agreed, graphic setting is the way to go with this thing. Need to...

I like the Train Graveyard chapter a lot, and probably the most out of all the "dungeon" sections of the game. This place looks how Midgar was supposed to look, dank and misty rather than bright and peppy. Also you can tell people from FF13-2 worked on this chapter. Has a very 13-2 sounding...

For me it's a hopeful upbeat theme that breaks down into kind of this cold icy sound right before it loops. Like you're hopeful and upbeat, but still in a cold rainy slum. I really like that part though. As a kid it was an upbeat theme I listened to in the morning before the first day (or one...

Yeah Tiche isn't what I'd use to hold aggro at all. Most of the time she prances around away from the enemy. I guess Poo Man is the big aggro tank? Never got him. Well now I have an objective for the next time through. Also how is there still major stuff I never got when I played it five times...

Yeah that's true. It had the same issue Terminator Salvation had. Should have been a thick cloud of smog over everything, instead it's bright and sunny. During the current replay I felt like the early parts of the game really felt nothing like original FF7, between the brightness of everything...

Sounds like a pretty good fusion of Mischief and Vaniki, I like this idea.

That's super weird. Wonder why they'd make a change like that. Unless the changed line is supposed to be some kind of ominous portent? I don't see how it might relate to the new game or why they had to go back and patch this one particular thing. Did Chapter 8 and 9 tonight, which took nearly...

Yeah, the theory they put forward was the main thing that made no sense to me.

Looks like absolutely nobody is doing midnight launches anymore. Gamestop (well, the few that are still open) is a no go for this and any other games in the forseeable future. Yowzers. So the only way to play this at midnight is to digital-buy it. If you're not doing that, and I'm not, then you...

This guy has a couple damn good theories here. Also points out that the south part of Mountaintop shares enemies with the north part of Caelid, indicating that there was previously a landmass connecting them. He posits that the six Divine Towers are basically holding up the veil/whatever that...

Yeah. On a different year that's more experimental, I'd like to see: -A TSS start free trade no boxing restriction server -An Agnarr clone that starts in classic and ends in OoW, call it the Mata Muram server Probably wouldn't be much overlap in who these draw in. Would also like to see a...

Hold on a second. They're making good decisions with the rulesets like Mischief 2.0? What's the catch? Watch them come out with six TLPs at once for the anniversary

Did the same, I'm at chapter 9 in about 6 hours. I think I'm about a third of the way* so I might be able to get it done by Thursday morning but we'll see. * - IMO the first act ends when you meet Aerith in the church, and the second act ends when they arrive at Shinra Tower. That place is...

Good to know, that's a huge detail. When I played other people's level 40+ clerics on 50-capped TLPs a couple times, I remember going full Ghetto Paladin route and could stand and bang with pretty much anything in Lower Guk if the fights were one-on-one. Two-on-one I'd need to back one off with...

Looks like another step on the road to erasing history. Next they have to figure out how to shut down the Wayback Machine.

I like the lion boss in the DLC trailer. Lot of people pointing out that it's clearly multiple warriors (like Hoarah Loux) in a lion costume, rather than an actual monster. This is a very cool idea for a boss fight and they could do a lot with it. Here's an example of this in the real world...

GG lad. I had to summon help for Lawrence and Orphan (somehow scraped by Ludwig myself). I want a rematch with Old Hunters to see if I can do it all myself, but I'm waiting for the remaster that we're definitely getting.... Soon (tm)

Damn, I don't seem to have Poo Man. Holding back on summon is an idea. However Radagon is also more of a problem for me than EB. Funny thing is, in the past I remember Radagon being easy and EB being the hassle. Now on NG+3 Radagon is the one draining all the heals.

Vacuums - This was so dumb. Mansion - Yeah it did have a different vibe. Limping - Not sure who thought this was a good idea, felt like it was all designed to mask loading or something. People not shooting - Yeah that was weird Pauses - Again, felt like a lot of stealth loading was going on. I...

Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me at all. On one hand it's escaping the sun's gravitational pull, on the other hand a small object like that having the velocity to even get to that point where it can accelerate is baffling. I think it was some kind of craft. Too bad we couldn't send something...

Zero is tremendous but I also like 1 and 2. The series kinda has diminishing returns like a lot of TV shows over the years, and Yakuza 3 - 6 are kinda more and more for diehard fans only.

I tried Black Knight Tiche and it did a ton of damage to both bosses, but always croaked near the beginning of the second fight. Never used poop man so he's level 1. What's so good about him? I'm gonna try that Raduvia strat with Tiche in tow (or maybe Mimic Tear at that point?), and if that...

So hit them with Raduvia to proc that, then switch to Maliketh weap (what's it called?) And proc that? Having a couple DoTs running while the Elden Beast flops all over the battlefield would be great, cause I was rarely getting near it to do anything.

My only issue with travel back in the day was being one of the 8 or so classes without any runspeed enhancement. Had to creep across the Karanas or Commonlands with your head on a swivel, and if anything ever aggro'd you it'd just slowly beat you to death. To this day I have a soft spot for...

I hope the first DLC boss is super easy, like an Asylum Demon clone. People come away going "what the hell was that" and have low expectations, then... wham, all the other bosses are ridiculous murderfests. That makes sense, the art is very cheap and can be spammed. Reminds me of the ice axe...

I've never EXP'd in Highpass or Highkeep. Part of why I want to do a "scenic route static" in the next TLP. Get to 50 a day later than all the other power groups, but see some cool stuff along the way instead of just doing optimal routes.

Did Oumuamua actually (corroborated) speed up on its way out of the solar system or is that some urban legend?

Went and finished off my NG+++ run (or tried to). Only had Farum Azula left. Maybe I'm out of practice or maybe NG+++ is real hard, cause it took me all evening and well into the AM. Maliketh took a bunch of tries, finally saw what people are talking about. Then the Elden Beast basically did me...

So 3 per character? That's cool, probably more than I'd actually use. Good to know I have to get the expansion times however many accts.

Pretty much any time I see a YouTube channel with thumbnails that have giant yellow text and use words like "destroyed" I know it's probably garbage. Unless it's Jimmy Dore.

Nice, so it wasn't just a rumor. Too bad it didn't lead to anything with Venril in DoDH. PoK is the very definition of adding something that actually shrinks the world. At least it's convenient, because by then I was pretty tired of running everywhere. It doesn't have any of the mystique of...

@Zaide Listening to the Miragul Dramaquest (maybe DQ should have it's own thread?) I think it would have kicked ass if we got a necromancy-themed expansion with Miragul, Mayong, and Venril teaming up as some kind of unholy trio. This hypothetical expansion could expand on the Miragul's Highway...

Are Personas an across-the-board thing (i.e. available on TLPs regardless of era, and presumably will be in at the start on new TLPs) or are they tied to Laurion's Song / live servers only?

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I was just referencing the media's "he shot into a crowd" narrative to punish him and how that's exactly how The Running Man started.

So... the Kyle Rittenhouse story?

Have thin walls in the bedroom (apartment building). Neighbors below it yell at each other all the time like the white trash at the beginning of Idiocracy, and I hear all of it. Think they broke up yesterday for the 8th or so time, the guy left. This morning the woman starts the day by blasting...

Yeah medication laws are real retarded now. Didn't realize kidney stones were something they'd remove (surgically?), thought they pretty much always had to be passed the hard way. (Edit: And larger ones they'd break up with sound waves until they could pass normally)

....we're gonna be waiting a really, really long time for more Elden Ring after this aren't we? Well, enjoy the hell out of this DLC and make it last.
