    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The previous tier was definitely a lot longer than usual, but this one's the usual. 4.4 to ShB release was 10months. It's just how it goes at the end of the expansion, x.5 lasts like 6+months everytime. Not having a ultimate does impact the content for some people, but a lot of people never even...

    They're definitely beta testing that for PoE2, but they really should be doing live tests on everyone for shit they're not sure is at least stable. I was thinking about it before and there's no reason they don't make these tests opt-ins only. People who want to check out the new tech that...

    Thought "neat Alien Isolation I wanted to give that a try some day", load up the launcher and... I apparently already own it? Guess it's been free before, and I didn't remember I got it before. Fucking Epic, I have like 15 free games there I should go through some of them at some point(and I...

    Oh I'll do that on my way back from Valencia thx, I have it but didn't get it started, wasn't sure what it rewarded, only knew it was needed for enhancing something(blackstar I guess) but since I'm not enhancing shit for now I didn't bother.

    Yeah I was getting Asula cause I figured I'd need to grind my Mystic to 56 anyway so that was xp. Also had to do story quests in helms for a while so just cleared the 500 there one shotting them with my Witch. I got one of the red sand rings already and will get the other soon-ish, pretty far...

    This Black Abyssal thing is weird. I was on the quest(just didn't know what the quest was for, black spirit has dozen of fucking quests), just hadn't started since I just got to Mediah on this char. Anyway started the quest, kept doing the main story for a few hours too, came back to town after...

    Black Desert

    Ah now that's useful to know, there's so much stuff in this game, unless you know specifically what to google for it's hard to find info, thanks I'll go read that and do the questline. Doesn't help that there's apparently no guide for it from grumpy or evildousharm so that's the first time I...

    Black Desert

    Yeah I was just wondering if anyone had like a "technique" for fast rerolling but I guess a lot of people already have every class they like or a lot of gear to throw around so it doesn't matter(if you have PEN accessories you get so much AP you can wave a stick and kill shit regardless for...

    I literally mentionned Kaia in the post you quoted, but you can only rent at 45, so you still need a weapon to get to 45. And Oasis we've been talking about them all of last page yeah. But I found it in the youtube guide, I must have skipped past it before and forgot, you can buy Ornelia...

    FFXV took a while too(4months after the year exclusivity), and the exclusivity might be longer, especially if Sony thought it'd make a good flagship series for the PS5 early library. They might have bought exclusive rights until the 2nd ep is released or whatever, don't really know.

    Black Desert

    Well talking about the grind to 56 then run stuff, rather than do the story as you go. It's faster that way it seems, although you do have to do the story after that anyway so not sure how much faster. I know when leveling directly it's straight forward, you get tons of upgrade stones for Naru...

    Black Desert

    There's one in Velia so you can buy everything right away on a new char, just not sure if that shit's staying on getting deleted though. It's not even supposed to be in the game I think? But anyway can't use them till 56 that's why I was asking about weapons options for lvling, just random shit...

    Black Desert

    Na I mean weapon for 1-56, yeah at 56 oasis is fine. Can't do tuvala anymore but yeah Naru is the same, but again that's just armor(well can do weapon but only useful when you roll the mirror gender class).

    The life stuff is pretty fun, been spending way too much time setting up random stuff, worker shit, cooking stuff, fishing overnight and what not, still haven't really gotten into the thick of it yet but I like a bunch of the aspects of it. Haven't made too much progress on the leveling side...
  15. Pyros

    Black Desert

    Oh yeah my goal is just to lvl random shit to 56-61 and see what I like, I've seen tier lists and stuff already but at this point they don't really matter when I haven't even hit 56 yet, which changes a ton of stuff anyway. My Mystic is like 52 something atm, doing Cliff's quests and hopefully...

    Black Desert

    MSQ is nice enough to have something to do, I know grinding is faster then going back for xp but actually reading text and stuff for now trying to follow the story. Pretty much every guide recommends doing it the first time anyway, it directs you to various places and stuff so you know where to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Should definitely clear it now since you'll have to clear it before the next, although as long as you get it done before the reset after the patch it's not big loss. Want to do the 3rd one every week for the tome gear upgrade materials though. Relic upgrade isn't for like 1.5/2months anyway, so...

    So been playing this for the past few days non stop, pretty cool game. Should have given it a chance earlier probably, although I don't see myself playing it longterm(but then again last time I picked up DFO to "check out the new classes" after playing it a little bit before, I ended up playing...

    Not sure where to post this and figured I'd ask here, anyone with prime that also doesn't care about Black Desert? They have a Twitch prime reward for it atm but I used it on a new account, turned out I had a bunch of tech issues so I made a steam account instead which didn't have the issues...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Limit Breaks are rare when you just get it, but they're pretty common later on. Especially with the accessories that give mp used > lb and atb used > lb. Later one on Tifa means you get 2-3 limit breaks per boss fight. Refocus is actually pretty good as a result, can pop it pretty early on and...

    Black Desert

    Ah fuck it, can't get it to work at all on the normal version, no fucking idea what's wrong with it. Basically saves settings fine, but when I log in on a character, it doesn't recognize the file or whatever so it just resets to defaults. I tried locking the settings file to read only but then...

    Black Desert

    Man this fucking game is being a cunt. Won't save my settings at all, whatever I'm trying. Game's running in admin mode, files are not read only(in fact the settings files are updated fine while I change them ingame/logout so technically it's saving them, then for some reason resets when I log...

    They need the MSQ to unlock dungeons. They mostly used to farm Wanderer's Palace, don't know what they do nowadays, but they basically bot chars so they can farm dungeons constantly at max lvl(nowadays it'd be HW dungeons but they might stick to 50 shit so it's easier I don't know). Potd being...

    Yeah MHW is great for that imo, honestly it's about as mmo as a lot of these korean games if you party with people(4man parties which is generally normal group size anyway, long term progression with deco/charm farming, new content being added over time) but without most of the P2W hassles since...

    Path of Exile

    The card drop rates are ass(well not terrible, but not good enough for the value), and it's still RNG what you get and it's likely weighted towards the non might jewels too. Googling it I found a reddit post from a few months ago I had read back then with people posting various results, but it's...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The live translation said he specifically mentionned it'll probably break housing stuff and they'll work on getting it back working after. The changes are to counter one of the easier way to clip through objects and end up out of bounds, by fiddling with your FPS. Might be other reasons to do...

    Oh certainly doesn't seem too different, but I also didn't play EQ much. I did play XI a fair bit and yeah it was that, especially as the puller so I was actively playing the game, versus the rest of the group just sitting there and chatting while waiting on mana or pressing their 3 buttons when...

    To be fair, I'm a big fan of action combat, and I still didn't like BDO. But I think it wasn't the combat itself(which was alright although I didn't get very far into it) and more the mindless grinding aspect on thousands of trash mobs in camps repeating over and over, without any sort of actual...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Generally speaking MH doesn't sell content, just like cosmetics and shit, all the content is added for free, and they add a ton of it over time, so it's never a bad time to pick up the game and start playing cause new content and seasonal events ensures there's always people playing(in case you...

    It's kinda weird since these tend to be pretty simple quests usually but guess it's part of the corona cuts. I don't think I've cared for any of them though, beast tribe stories are nice enough usually but the allied one is kinda whatever(first couple had like some villain storyline shit but...

    The vehicles are definitely the high point in terms of building stuff, I loved them, they were somewhat unexpected past the first one and they felt really fun to use. Building them is when you'll maybe have to go "ok I need 48 of this thing so I need to go gather some more" and stuff but it's...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I didn't necessarily mean they're not gonna do the same thing, just that they don't need to adhere to the same rules as even in this one, where everytime something weird happens, the ghosts show up and what not. Like they might just add a new character, not kill Aerith(or kill her at a different...

    AC's combat wasn't anything like that though. AC's entire combat was basically sliding around casting spells that would near one shot people and landing 2 or 3 of them consecutively before they healed for victory, with the difficulty being the other person was also sliding and you couldn't lead...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah a lot of the squeeze through places is for loading purposes, same reason all the sectors are linked by long paths of nothing. This is largely because the game was designed for PS4, with the slow ass HDDs. I expect the next one, since iirc they said it's PS5 only, to not have nearly as many...

    My playthrough was 28hours, so ymmv I'd say. I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time gathering I thought, although you do quite a bit early game since there's so little to get started with. You still do some later, but you get better tools or better sources of materials(like early you get...

    That's why I said unlike. Shadow only "fake" dies, while Aerith was really dead (although it was a pretty common rumor back then before the advent of the internet that there was a secret way to resurect her and stuff, but in the end was just the usual "my uncle works at Nintendo" stuff).

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Alright finished this, bought it along with my PS5 and played through it, then 100%'d the rest(including all the play log stuff that doesn't have achievements). Pretty fun game. The visuals are amazing(other than shitty textures here and there), the music is amazing, nothing surprising here it's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    October/November probably, they already pushed it back so they'll probably take their time, still falls in the same year for profit results and that's a good period to sell games and no huge announcement for that period yet unlike last year(even if Cyberpunk ended up being a wet fart). Covid has...

    Doubt it, you can actually copy PS4 games' saves to USB on a PS5, but you can't do it with the PS5 saves, the same option is just not there for PS5 games. It is most likely to curb cheating, since you can't access PS5 saves in anyway right now afaik, you can't get access to the built in SSD...

    Playstation 5

    It installs everything on the SSD/HDD for faster loading, but checks disc so you don't install rented games then "own" them forever, is my guess. I just install stuff as I play it + 3-4 other games for after. It isn't a big SSD though that's for sure but for the way I play at least it's fine...
