    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Truly a fitting end for such a grand story that pulled together the threads woven so many years ago. A random NPC they just added that a decent amount of the playerbase don't even know will become the new super important role they just added, so they can safely forget about it all and never...

    Dancer step before the last one looks nice enough imo, that's what I'm using, didn't bother finishing it. Same on SCH, I finished it for the stats but I'm using the step before(green aura book, instead of stupid floating polygons book). MNK I'm using the actual final step, although the first...

    I think the idea is the pad works on PC, doesn't it? So you're basically buying a pad and a chromecast for that price. Even just a pad for 22bucks is pretty good, assuming it works on PC and doesn't suck too much.

    Around 4mins in this video you can see the system, I saw some guy on twitch show the same thing a few days ago so I don't think prices changed. One big issue is you can't buy the upgrade until you have the right ilvl, for Rohendel you need 460, for Yorn 600, for whatever the 3rd is 960 and for...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Those Nurgle mechanics look really cool. Not a huge fan of Nurgle, I'd rate it last out of the 4, but these mechanics alone would make it more appealing than Khorne for my playthroughs. Looking forward to Slaanesh' fuckery.

    The KR prices looked really stupid for these though. Iirc it was like 800g to skip the 1-50 stuff, but like 1400-2000g for each step after that, which means you'd be spending a stupid amount of gold for an hour or two or questing every char. The 1-50 is well worth it since it takes longer and is...

    Well the leveling isn't super slow, but yeah it's boring as shit getting up there, there's 0 challenge and most of it is running from quest to quest, sometimes blowing up one pack of mobs, sometimes picking up some shit, and dungeons while having more combat are also pretty straight forward...

    Lost Ark Online

    Oh right I forgot about that. But yeah it's a thing you do once and you're done, just pick a char to run through all sidequests as you level, honestly I'd say it only adds like 1h30-2h total to the leveling process, they're really not shittily designed and most of the time you only have 1...

    The sidequests can be done on any char, the rewards are just one time only. You can't track them. Some of them are required for the Another Story parts of the Adventure tome(red ! quests), from what I understood. That's the only thing they matter for. There is also some chain quests that reward...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    From the looks of it ER won't spoil DS3 at least, the gameplay are very similar, and while you'd go back from an open world to a zone world, that really shouldn't matter much, DS3 will still be interesting with cool layouts and shit. I guess you might get annoyed at the fact you can't jump...

    Sidequests are basically only worth doing once for account unlocks, and you should really do them as you do the main quests. Other than the chain quests(have a special chain icon which means there's several in a row) that give skill points and stuff, they're mostly worthless and only good for...

    Nier Automata

    It is definitely not like Dark Souls though. It is a more traditional action RPG, I guess more like say Witcher. Very enjoyable game, story is a bit weird but interesting, setting is good, music is great, combat is fun. You might have to install some mod shit to make the game run properly...

    Verify files/uninstall/reinstall the translation stuff, apparently there was a patch and that breaks things when using these, that's what I saw on reddit.

    Oh you managed to buy crystals? I read it was a pain in the ass with their new system on RU, I checked it out and it didn't take Paypal or Paysafe cards so didn't really bother looking further into it. I actually made a couple of chars to check some classes out, I'm kinda liking Arcana, sucks...

    Yeah don't care much about them. They get a bit fleshed out during Stormblood(MNK questline also, some decent story there) but overall they're not very interesting people imo, kinda just help them cause Garleans are worse. Some of them are actually pretty good people but they're the typical...

    Well if you did the pages yeah that'd make sense since that's a lot of additional grind. I had the duel buff like once when I was farming but still wasn't close. Granted if I had been max level while doing it I probably would have gotten more since the higher rank you are, the more mettle you...

    How the fuck did you do 10/10/10 with just this step? I was still leveling when I did it but it wasn't even close, especially seeing how the mettle point shit goes up the more you have. I finished the relic stuff and did a few more dalriada and the weekly and I'm at like 4/2/0 or some shit, I...

    You get a lot of gear just leveling too, I don't think I ever had anything that was too low lvl other than one earring because I didn't notice until like 40 there were 2 earrings(I did notice the 2 rings just so used to XIV so thought it was neck/earring/bracer/2rings but it's...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The fextralife video says it's closer to 1/12th based on the full map but not sure how accurate. It also depends a lot on how dense the other areas are. Generally speaking it's not uncommon for devs to work more on the "first" area so it has a lot more things and so the press gets better first...

    Can also do ocean fishing, I saw ppl leveling there when I was looking for fishes for the achievement and they'd get like 3-4 levels just fishing and I think you get a bunch of xp at the end too. Can't chain it, it's only once every 2 hours but it seemed stupidly fast. But yeah fishing is the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Actually at launch, they do, kinda. Basically when a new expansion launch, the main raid isn't available right away. 2weeks after launch the normal version is available(LFR) and 2weeks after that, savage is available. The whole tier is available at once though, and they only do that for new...

    Trials will still be players only I assume, but no idea. It would be "harder" to do trials with trusts I'd say since your death is an instant wipe, while story trials are usually a graveyard with one poor rdm/healer spamming rez the entire fight to get through it eventually so even shitty...

    Honestly, I do hope it is releasing end of march like they said. I have too much stuff to play inbetween, and while it's a fun game, it wouldn't take priority for me. Endwalker in 3weeks, play that for at least a month probably 1.5-2months, into Elden Ring/Total Warhamer 3/Monster Hunter Rise...

    The upgrade system looked really easy in the western version though. I think I read we somewhat have T2 patches but without the T2 content which makes the T1 content trivial to gear for? You can still make alts to pool ressources but it didn't look like it was super necessary and people already...

    As far as I remember, collectables are also penalized right away. Basically as soon as the expansion launch, every 80 collectable should be worth 10k xp and like 1 or 5 scrip or whatever. I could remember wrong and they might take you to 81 though, so if you have some time to waste you could...

    Yeah after they added Ishgard Restoration, leves became obsolete for leveling, but they won't be updating ishgard until 6.1 or later I'd think, same for beast tribes but even later, it's like 6.3 content or whatever. Those are basically catch up mechanics, similar to Bozja being added for...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Na that's a separate change, they're specifically nerfing triple leves but increasing single leves, as a % based change, besides the whole "need less xp but get less xp" change. They're basically balancing leves better so triple leves aren't as much of an obvious choice anymore(and also nerfing...

    You use a mount most of the time, and the mounts are decently fast. Only time you're on foot usually is in buildings and dungeons, and in the latter you can use movement skills or consumables to speed up some. As for the stat yeah I maxed swiftness(english official name for it) on my char when...
  29. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah they might not be worth it that much, although I still expect them to be better by virtue of still being a single leve turn in. At the very least they'll suck for money, but for xp they should still be the superior choice provided you are limited on leves. That said back in ShB, with the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I watched the video so yeah maybe they'll restrict them on the mort important fights and stuff which would make sense. Just that they look super strong in the fights they are allowed, especially the multi summons since there's a decent chance one will not get hit by big aoes and extend the...

    It does look like some parts are too easy with the summons and weapon arts and what not, but could just be demo balancing. Looks neat otherwise.

    Yeah unless obviously you live in one of the country that supports that version(russia and cis basically). There's a bunch of guides on how to register and play, doesn't look too complicated, and you can rent a VPN for like 2bucks for a month or whatever. There's some free ones but shit isn't...

    Finished my goal for the beta which was to clear the story up to 50 and unlock the pass the check another class. Ironically the new char has better gear than the first one since I used it right away(also funny the powerpass basically complete more story quests than needed to unlock it, the whole...

    Yeah early on that's definitely an issue with spending too much kenki, but that's an issue with a lot of classes, using up ressources or using something and then figuring out you should have waited 1 or 2 GCDs instead, you can reduce that eventually once you're well used to the class and have...

    I wouldn't say you really have to work much harder, it's just weirdly balanced around the burst window where you have to shit out a lot of things quickly so until it's muscle memory it's annoying to play, while SAM is a lot more evened out so you never really have to go crazy. SAM does have its...

    They didn't really change how Mudras work that much though, the main change is making them GCD so you don't have to weave them which was horrible if you had bad ping, but you still have to do the same mudra order, in fact it's "worse" compared to say SB, because of the Kassatsu trait which...

    It takes ~10hours, which is not a huge amount or anything, but still pretty long. And none of that time is particularly enjoyable. It's purely grinding solo quests, over 50%(70%?) of which is running around and spamming G through dialogues as it doesn't seem there's much point in doing dungeons...

    To be fair, it isn't very different than having to run the story every fucking char in PoE, that shit sucks, and it sucks every league. It is much faster though(like 2-4hours if you're speeding through and know what you're doing). I wonder if they sell boosts in this? I think they'd make a...

    So far a lot of sidequests are just on the way to the mainquest anyway so I've been doing them, the xp felt pretty similar to main quests too. I assume later you get more stupid sidequests you want to skip? Haven't been pretty far since I rolled a bunch of chars to check their early game out...
