    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah turned off mount music 8years ago when I got annoyed I couldn't hear Coerthas music between farming FATEs back in ARR and never turned it back on(might have turned back on when I had to wipe settings once but yeah). There's some good ones, but I dislike how it just breaks the zone music...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Not sure it's possible to estimate accurately? I know on XIV there's some estimations but that's based on characters with certain achievements, but since most ppl only play one char you can use it as a somewhat reliable measure, while on wow a lot of people play several chars so that wouldn't...

    Can't you just return this shit for a refund? Not sure how it works in the US but unopened non perishable can be returned here within like 15days or something. I'd just return all the shit you don't need, or everything if you want to get somewhere else to build for you. Or well I'd have done...

    Name some good PC FpS

    The 2 big FPS franchises(CoD and Battlefield) sell more on consoles, if anything without consoles you'd probably see even less. Also since they weren't listed, if you want multiplayer FPS, Apex, Valorant, Rainbow Six: Siege and CS:GO are the big things. Overwatch too I guess although this is...

    Na a lot of people keep a bunch of games installed, especially with limited bandwith internet and what not. Personally I wouldn't give a shit I can just redownload everything in a few minutes but I can see it being an issue when you have data caps. Although imo that's what big slow ass external...

    Yeah this is kinda what people were saying when Microsoft announced the storage expansion being proprietary shit, Sony did the exact same thing with the Vita back in the days. It is actually a bit surprising they didn't do the same for the PS5 instead of letting people just install whatever the...

    DOTA 2

    I saw a post by a reddit detective that it was all bullshit already. Don't care much about it but it wouldn't be super surprising that his EX wife would make shit up right after he gets a bunch of money.

    Path of Exile

    I was pretty annoyed/surprised at it but the mastery makes it better, although you now have to pay a skill point for something you used to get for free. Hmm seems they nerfed the 2nd source though, the +3 sword mastery used to be generic but I guess it's now +3 with swords only. You used to be...

    Path of Exile

    Every reddit post I've seen said the drop rate was complete ass for it, and you need a lot. It's definitely not something you should do SSF, better play trade and not trade anything else, or pick another build if you want to do SSF specifically. That or you have to be committed to farm hard for...

    Path of Exile

    The idea of these orbs I'm pretty sure is to just roll random shit on gear that you triple scourged and got good mods. See if you can get something good out of them and what not. I expect scourged exalts to be worth kinda shit, because realistically they're way worse than normal exalts since...

    Lost Ark Online

    Isn't that just because they were still finishing the game as much as possible? Because they changed so much stuff over time that they had to make all the dungeons and all that shit that they hadn't originally planned at all so they were behind on everything, so anything that wasn't top priority...

    Lost Ark Online

    Switching them probably would have been better but I'm sure investors and money guys and shit were tired of the constant delays. Would have been smarter to release the already complete game where they can just adjust what new content opens up whenever they want and shit, and get another...

    Salt and Sacrifice

    Hollow Knight is definitely top tier and is the one I'd recommend the most in the genre. The rest I don't know, some are fine but nothing really crazy good I think.

    There was a bunch of fuckery. I did a comparison node by node but it was pointless cause I was using the recent version. GGG went and updated the JSON, and this was V3 numbers. Trying to see what the old numbers were. The masteries are pretty shit though other than phys overwhelm, like offering...

    Boosts release with early access, so that's also when the prices will be lowered. Obviously, that'll still mean you have to do 70-80 with them unless you buy a 80 boost(but that'd be the same price as the current boost).

    DOTA 2

    Some will probably, you can see a bunch of previous TI winners still playing cause they probably don't have much else to do anyway, and to some extent it's "free". Like if you have enough money you don't need to work anymore and you still like playing dota, makes sense to keep playing...

    These new uniques are actually good like they said they would be, which is a bit of a surprise. The new masteries also look pretty strong across the board, although some of them are pretty disappointing. I can "kinda" see why they removed range on strike skills, seeing as how they added +3 range...

    They showed they clearly knew what to do against Mag in game 3, and in game 5 they picked Sky to counter it with instant seal, but a bunch of times he was either BKBed, or he horn tosses the skywrath himself cause bad positionning/better vision. I think they just starved them for kills. The...

    Yeah Tinker does that though, if you can't kill him or lock him down, what are you gonna do with blind on and getting peppered constantly by nukes. The panel actually hit the nail on the head on that last Tinker pick, it was basically barely countered, while countering pretty much all the strat...

    Well to be fair, LGD also steamrolled everyone, and generally not with passive play. They only dropped 2 games total until the grand finals(one in group, one in main stage). TeamSpirit is the underdog and they had a much longer path there so obviously you want to root for them more and they're...

    Yeah I usually wait the next expansion to farm mounts cause they increase the drop rate further and it's easier unsynced(although not sure how much easier it's gonna be this time). I have a couple of the dragons from normal play but don't really want to bother farming them now although the mount...

    She's that SAM streamer right? I didn't recognize her at first cause she dyed her hair blonde but I saw a picture of her stream in that video from before and she looks like that one streamer that played a bunch of SAM in the last couple of tiers of savage, she was doing the whole streamer "raid...

    Always the case, relics are basically just for replacing tome weapons in certain patches/if you're catching up, and for glamour. And largely for glamour, that's why I don't bother making them on all classes and only just check which class has good looking ones. While it's a bit sad, ultimately...

    The crafting gear, Aesthete stuff, for crafters. Crafters don't scale the same and melding makes it better than it is, so crafters can usually go all the way to the next cap without having to switch gear if you have melded gear. Combat classes(using exarchic) will replace all their shit by the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The crafting gear at least stays relevant a bit longer than the combat gear. A solid crafting set will last you all the way to 90 and until you craft the new 90 there, and if it's BiS pentamelded, some slots can probably last until 6.1 new crafting gear depending on how hard they make it. That...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    They already said they "can't do it", for whatever reason. So yeah have to cheat to get back progress, and cheats probably won't be available right away, although it depends on how it's coded I guess. But yeah a couple weeks after release I expect it'll be pretty simple to just generate saves...

    RDM is in the comments also, pretty much same class, a new defensive cd like ranged phys(which also increases healing done), embolden works for everyone and one cool qol thing is you can now "hold" Verholy/flare after the melee combo, the combo gives you Mana Stacks and holy/flare consume 3...

    Some of these are pretty poorly made, with wrong categories as a whole or just some spells in the wrong categories or wrong info, but nice to see some tooltips. NIN changes seem weird, basically everytime you raiton, you then get 2 weapon skills to follow up? That sounds like it'll be clunky as...

    They have a tooltip overlay, I don't really know what it does cause all that shit's blocked and I'm too lazy to figure out what I need to unblock, but basically lets you see tooltips of abilities/items/talents, so you can just read the stuff if you don't know what it does(especially nice if you...

    As I said, off hours, instances aren't full, middle of the night and stuff. Sometimes they spawn faster but depends a bit on who's inside and what they're doing. It's also gonna be annoying to get into Dalriada for the same reason, I need to adjust my sleeping schedule a bit to match more...

    Well the fates are fine, I'm short on the first area one and missing a few on 2nd, but 3rd is done even, it's just the CE stuff that's slow as fuck and I want to do raids for. CEs only pop like every 15mins or whatever, so yeah taking a while. I'm not in a super hurry just annoying. Also NDA...

    This "one time only" last step on current relic is pretty brutal. I got a fair bit of the easy memories off Zadnor FATEs, but the CE ones are obviously super low, and now I have to farm like 60-70 old raids and that sounds pretty terrible. Doesn't help I've been playing offhours, so I can't get...

    Don't know about that, seems just as likely Chris played D2R and got that nostalgia going and decided to add some stupid shit to the game too.

    Crafted gear has materia slots, and can be overmelded(so they technically have 5 slots worth of materias on every piece). You can get much better stats out of the crafted gear, and especially CP which usually isn't available on most white scrip gear while you can get 3+ on every piece of...

    Pretty much all the dot stuff was nerfed indirectly. The buffs don't compensate for the losses of EE and EO. Basic math with current knowledge seems to be about a 20% loss, the better item mods and potentially skill points you can assign to other stuff should even that out a bit, but it's...
