    Eh on learning new classes part, I do just go to dummies when I unlock a new class. Or well, first I spend some time reading every skill carefully and putting them on my bars in the way I feel they're gonna be used, then do dummy to confirm how the skills function. Then I pre-plan all my skills...

    While transpose lets you not lose Enochian, it's also generally fucking terrible to end up using it as it fucks up your rotation, and is really a last resort kind of thing. That said yeah it's definitely easier to keep Enochian up, but once in a while you'll still drop it until you're really...

    You can check videos, especially rotation guides, to get an idea of how the class plays at max level, like if it's busy, if you have a lot of things to look at, if it's relaxed, proc based, strict rotation etc, should help it narrow down a bit. Style is probably a big part of why ppl play...

    Some things on that first post: "2. do your main story quest. it's really fucking long. Literally everything in the game is locked behind stages of MSQ. you cannot open expansion classes till you're at the expansions in the MSQ." That's wrong, only the HW classes requires you get to HW MSQ. SB...

    Other than the seasonal events and other collaboration type event things, yeah they don't really delete stuff. I guess technically the pvp season rewards too but so few people bother with this shit. Even these they will usually just add recolors of the stuff in other ways later on. Everything...

    Can't do Eureka sadly, I think they don't want everyone to play BLU in there and have ppl without BLU whine about stuff dying too fast and whatever. It sucks cause BLU would be nice to farm this old content with.

    50k really are they that cheap? Btw if you have gatherers, you can get like 25k a day from gathering a map which takes like 2mins. Prices might vary but maps usually keep good value throughout due to them adding new glamours and shit to them, I generally hold as many as possible(can only own...

    Crafted gear shouldn't be that expensive but guess it depends on server. Some things to note on that system that might not obvious from a quick peek, first you only need one HQ item for an upgrade item, HQ items give like 2.5x more certificates or whatever and just add up to exactly the amount...

    At this point you've probably been using but check with Teamcraft if you can indeed go straight to the BiS. It's likely if you didn't meld the dwarven gear(and you shouldn't) that you won't even be able to meet the requirements to attempt the BiS crafts at all. You'd have 2 ways to go about...

    Yeah the game culls pretty aggressively because of issues back in the days during expansion/patch releases. I wonder how he'll like Heavensward, he's probably been overhyped about everyone telling him how great it is and stuff so wonder if it just won't live up to the hype.

    Yeah positionnals while leveling are kinda whatever, better get used to it obviously, but positionnals only are relevant for bosses basically(trash you have aoe tools which have no positionals) and bosses shouldn't be swinging constantly unless the tank is being retarded and spinning it non...

    The leveling roulette option is relatively recent, but do note it only works if you're in a full party. It's basically meant for people who full party to get nice dungeons instead of just getting sastasha over and over again(which seemed to happen most of the time before). If you're solo...

    The last bit is definitely my experience too, LOTS of women in a lot of the FCs I've been in, some always talking about glamours, fantasia at least once a week(one in a FC I was last in was basically changing race every day, sometimes several times a day, gacha addiction to fantasia). A bunch...

    That's a pretty big selling point mind you. Whenever I come back after months of not playing, I can gear up all the chars I feel like playing for like a million each or whatever. Granted prices went down A LOT since they made leveling crafting so easy in ShB, so the difference isn't as big as it...

    Also in most cases, other than his super slow casts that you have plenty of time to figure out(or see that 7 other people are standing in one spot so you can just go there too), he's just facing the tank, so should be somewhat easy. He definitely is a bit of a step up in terms of story trial...

    It happens, rarely though, but yeah like every once in a while. I remember a post explaining why it happens, it's bad coding and using outdated sound functions or whatever, typical japanese dev thing, happens most of the time when you plugin headphones midgame but even randomly too. And don't...

    The french players(and germans, spanish and italians) usually pick a server as an unofficial server, so they can speak french there and shit. Same on every mmo I played. Like on XIV, that server is Moogle and people often hate on the Moogle players in savage and stuff, cause they tend to be...

    Path of Exile

    New flasks will suck on content that vomits constant elemental damage spikes though, especially combined with damage nerfs so you don't one shot stuff as it spawns as much. Shit like cold/lightning breaches as an example(but a lot of league content has similar ele themed stuff), before you could...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    I mean that shouldn't be too much of a problem, like it won't stop working if they stop production of it, the gamepad still works if you have one, obviously once it breaks it's over so that kinda sucks but ultimately I don't think it's as much of an issue as say, Google pulling the plug on the...

    Reduces support load when Billy the retard clicks delete then types YES I'M SURE PLS DELETE THIS CHAR on the wrong char and then ask to get it restored.

    Was explained but basically everytime you kill a nail, everyone gets a very short vuln. This means you can't just mindlessly kill all the nails at the same time, or everyone just dies. It also means for the last nail phase with the big nail, you have to make sure you clear the small nails, then...

    Maybe a gold farming bot that got lost, they farm 50dungeons for money usually, possible they got out of their parties and queued automatically. That said there's definitely a few bots that people can buy for leveling and what not, the usual shit, don't see many ppl using them but I'm sure it...

    SCH can be a bit weird if your tank is being a fuckhead, undergeared or you are. Adlo is good at sustaining heavy dmg but you won't see the bar go up much unlike other healers, and if you spam it you're also gonna be healing for "less" due to shields not stacking so you often have to alternate...

    Becnhmark trailer, potential spoilers if you're not too far in the story, shows some of the new class skills, bunch of new monster models, same usual garbage textures and shadow shimmering but looks nice. Also teaser of the music arrangements from the main theme, sounds great.

    The stigma is largely outdated but it's more of a meme nowadays, dragoons used to have really really long animation locks on jumps and it was very easy to just die to shit while you couldn't move, you still have locks on jumps and you can still absolutely die to it, but it's much shorter so it's...

    Dancer should be fine, it's a 2.5s GCD class, you do double weave a fair bit though so might be a problem even with the full GCD, but can probably get away with single weave if you tweak the opener and such. A lot of the time is spent using normal GCDs and you have a burst phase every now and...

    I use paypal to buy sub. I actually buy Crysta, their own currency shit, but unlike most mmos they don't force you to buy like 5 or 10bucks and it doesn't round properly and you have left overs, you can specify the exact amount if it's above 5, so I buy exactly what I need for a sub and 0-2...

    Also in case of make sure it's not running off your CPU instead of your GPU(assuming you have an intel cpu since amd don't do that shit). But yeah since it's exactly 15 and 30 FPS it is weird. There is also a potential bug where you're running at background speed cap? The game has an option to...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The only positive I see is MAYBE the normal switch will get a 50$ price drop, I was holding out for a more powerful Switch(not like a PS5 power obviously, just a bit better) so that's a big disappointment especially since I don't care about the handheld mode much at all. I still want to buy a...

    I mean 3jobs shouldn't be an issue at all? It's a lot of jobs that become an issue, but you have like 36 slots for every inventory piece or whatever it was, so should be plenty. Can drop excess stuff into glamour dresser(which is capped at like 400 or 450items, so it's not particularly small...

    Yeah they're not gonna go and ban everyone, but the most obvious trolls probably got spam reported by other people too, and all it takes is one community manager kind of guy who watched the stream to just issue suspensions. And it's not even surprising either, everyone knows SE is heavy handed...

    Well there's multiple reasons, some of these girls don't really play video games that much, they also do a lot of karaoke streams or drawing stream and just chatting streams.

    Black Desert

    It depends on the amount of dmg really. Maybe it just means you need a char that's at least 56 with like 200AP or whatever, as opposed to having a lvl 7 naked ranger. If they mean you need a char with proper gear then yeah it's fucking stupid, especially since some of them are still idiotic to...

    Console is like a year behind or some shit, you definitely should play this on PC given the choice. I don't know how much a controller would help. Pretty sure the PC version has controller support too, but I haven't checked or tested.

    You can just pick a preset, including presets done by other people. Literally takes a few clicks to find a decent base if you want to tweak a few things(hairstyle, hair/eye color, skin color etc) and then you're good to go. You don't have to actually design your own char if you don't want to...

    Lots of people are saying TPM isn't turned on by default on most BIOS, so you have to go and turn it on and then it works. It has some interesting features, but probably worth waiting 6-10months for the obvious shit to get ironed out anyway.

    I believe they're planning data center visits though, so transferring might not be super useful anymore depending on the restrictions. Generally speaking I think it's only useful to move out of Crystal if you want to raid or if you move to another country and would rather play EU or NA servers...
