    You just get Essence of Aetherweaver for 96% additional dmg and you're good, it's pretty cheap if you don't have any from the stuff you looted yourself, like 1k each or whatever on my server so you can buy a nice stack of 50 or so, it's RNG what you get but you'll usually get ~10aetherweaver...

    Fisher still has HQ, they're just called Large Catch or whatever they said in the LL. They won't technically count as HQ for the purpose of crafting I assume(CUL stuff mostly but also ALC and GSM every now and then) but otherwise should behave the same, including maybe for leve turn ins but...

    Well these fucks decided to try to hotfix the pvp scaling bug and now the 2nd dungeon doesn't work anymore(maybe other stuff don't know), so guess I have to try another class. Edit: Reading reddit they apparently broke several dungeons, as well as Bard and Paladin channel spells. I wonder how...

    To be fair you can probably watch someone else. Or just click a stream and leave it in a random muted tab until you get the shit. I played a little bit yesterday, with Endwalker getting delayed I guess I should put some time into this to figure out what I'm going to be playing. Started Bard...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I haven't bothered looking at achievements on this, there's just too many annoying ones and ultimately I don't want to have to play with every lord, or worse, multiple times with the same lord because I didn't get one shit or another. There's also multiplayer achievements which are definitely...

    It is like 10bucks normally yeah. They give the game away every now and then too, I got mine for free from Twitch prime or some shit like that. Since there's no sub or anything, there's really no point to the gamepass stuff unless you're using gamepass already.

    Yeah I think that's the worst part, people who setup vacation days, since 2weeks isn't much notice to move them depending on where you work and how much of a dick your boss is. The upside is savage doesn't land right in the middle of xmas. I guess Blizzard's move also got messed up in the delay...

    Well I don't know how it'll turn out, but spearfishing in its current state is definitely some weird shit they put together in a hurry when they made underwater areas it feels like. New minigame looks interesting but might not be that fun when you're farming if it takes too long or whatever. I...

    Oh spearfishing update, it's not just underwater gathering anymore.

    Well I don't think they could fix something like instance load in 2 weeks, either the servers will be enough or not. I guess if they're deploying new servers and they're not ready that'd work. Ultimately considering how little they usually need to hotfix/patch, their QA does excelent work so if...

    2weeks delay is kinda weird, seems too short to get a lot done, they must have some small things to polish maybe?

    Live Letter in a bit over an hour, feel like it's worth mentionning but they'll probably be showing the Launch Trailer. Unlike the previous trailer, which is the ingame intro movie, this one will be a more traditional trailer with ingame cinematics/gameplay, which means it will contain probably...

    Prices look similar to BDO. Which I find definitely on the high side, but I also didn't feel like spending that much money anyway. Like I got some costume for my Guardian to get the full underboob style going, and I think I wanted to get the fishing costume for diving but didn't end up buying it...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Wow this looks impressive. I do hope you can't cheese a bunch of stuff with the horse riding, although it seems at least it's limited to the open world parts and I assume you can't mount when in dungeons(including that castle at the end of the video). The part where he was spamming spells at the...

    Na it's 6 + preorder ogres. Ogres are technically day1 DLC, just free if you preorder(or buy on release week), same as WoC and Norsca.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah every expansion now they have a preorder earring that adds the last 10 levels compared to the previous one(also originally they didn't scale but now they do to your level). It's worth preordering generally just for that, plus you're preordering a mmo expansion so it's not like there's stuff...

    Never bought a CE. I'd say if you're into making alts, the HW one is good though since it comes with a Fantasia, so every new char you make gets a fantasia from ARR and one from the HW CE, which is nice to have I guess. But I don't really make alts. Iirc on sale the HW CE was also cheaper than a...

    I got one last time from mmorpg.com and another one this time. No real hoop, just logging in, click get key, copy paste key in Steam. I have an old account for that site since they always do mmo giveaways, so old it has my UO guild tag in the name.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    It's nice they're announcing they're delaying games they hadn't even announced release dates for to begin with. Like D4 was MAYBE 2023 but it's "delayed"? How does that even work. Sounds like shitty free advertisement announcement. OW2 at least makes a bit of sense as I think people assumed a...

    Path of Exile

    It's like that while leveling. Just pop in, kill the pack, pop out. In maps there's a lot more density but until then it's not worth wasting too much time with it. The gear is also pretty meh unless you get very lucky.

    Quick explore is a bunch of xp on retainers and you don't really need gear for it. That said it takes a fucking long time to level them, iirc last time I reset it took me like 3weeks with 6+ ventures a day. So the boosts are definitely worth it especially if you want capped retainers before EW...

    Well like every classes in XIV, it's going to be good enough regardless. They don't really fuck balance up so much that classes are straight worthless, usually, although x.0 patches can be a bit wild until the first round of adjustments(NIN was pretty trash in 5.0 and MNK was pretty broken and...

    The trusts especially show you how most mechanics work, all you have to do is follow them. I guess he wasn't running around the boss during that one attack? But even someone with poor gaming skills should be able to just run around the boss(even if they're not attacking during that time) so yeah...

    Comes relatively soon after some hackers found how to run them without Facebook, so they might think it's not worth it anymore? It's also unclear what their intent was in the first place, advertisement placement/info gathering I guess but the target was such a small demographic I'm not sure it...

    It's a mmo, that plays like an ARPG, not the opposite. It is fully mmo, although due to combat, it's an action mmo(you can actively dodge out of stuff and what not). Has support classes but not the full trinity setup(but from what I've seen you're expected to run one support in every party for...

    Yeah it's the usual online experience, some ppl just are terrible and are unwilling to improve and some think they're much better than they are. Been trying to farm some accessoris in E9S farms and the last 4 parties I've been in yesterday/today haven't managed a single kill. That's "farm...

    Well I mean everything will run on it, just depends on if it will run well enough. Any game with good performance/lots of options to tweak performance will run fine though.

    DOTA 2

    From the couple of stream I've watched, the good combo is her punching people to death instantly with her ult, then jumping 2screens further, supplexing some fool into another fool, then killing both instantly too. She looked pretty broken, or well her ult mostly. It's like if Ursa could hit...

    Well one involves following the story which is a strong point of XIV, as well as learning your class as you progress(which isn't true imo but that's the logic at least), while the other involves grinding outdated content repeatedly for currency until you have enough to enter the content people...

    Ultimately it's not too much different than current, just better explained with detailed examples.

    Well PF ads have been a thing for like, 6+ years? So I wouldn't say it's very responsive. That said they also were a lot less intrusive than they are in wow, usually it's like 4-12 ads in the duty roulette section since it's the first one in the list, if you sort by high end duty or whatever you...

    Yeah it doesn't really kill any P2W complaint when you can clearly buy crystals and sell them for gold to do whatever it is you need to use gold for, which is otherwise much more limited. Can call it pay2convenience or pay2progressfaster but ultimately boils down to the same thing. Not that I'm...

    The discontentment has only started brewing on Reddit, it'll be soon probably. The more people reach red maps, the more people complain about the issues of a given league, unless it's jarring shit like "click on all these organs every fucking map it's fun".

    Temperature in the computer isn't relevant though? If your CPU goes down from 60 to 30, where do you think that heat goes? It doesn't magically disappear in the water. If anything the lower your computer is, the more heat is being transferred into your room. That's the whole point of cooling...

    Anything under 70° is more than fine though, even 70-80° is within acceptable ranges, might wear a bit easier but that's only for super long term. There's basically no difference between running at 30 and running at 60, unless you're planning to overclock.

    Yeah as mentionned you'd have until Nov 18th or so when the 24h maintenance will start for the expansion. Don't farm the maps, only thing you "need" is the vest, everything else is available in the game normally. You can farm it doing T2 with normal classes, I see parties doing that, it takes...
