    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    These look nice, I'll look into it later this year I guess when supply isn't complete dogshit, wonder how much noise they make in practice since they're still using fans and not purely water cooled(which is kinda weird, if you're gonna put water cooling in there shouldn't it just be entirely...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    There's no AIO GFX afaik, there's like pre installed cooling blocks GFX but you'd still need to mount the pump and do all the tubing. Still way less annoying since removing the fans on a GFX is both a pain in the ass and stressful as fuck when the card's worth 1k+ but quite annoying. I just...

    Haven't had a cd drive(or well dvd drive) for the past, I don't know, 15 or 20years? If anything having one is 90s knowledge. Rest I could see being a problem but it depends on the use, 8gb ram if you're not playing modern games will do the job, and 250gb if you're not torrenting shit or playing...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Reddit has a decent post that explains what is "likely" to go on. One new teaser trailer every week for the 8 winds of magic, which then somewhat coincide with the teaser they did in the last website update with the Chaos emblem and the 321 filename(march 21st), being 2 days prior. Was also...

    They're supposedly down like 70b now or some shit. The whole thing shows how fucked the whole stock trading system is though, these fucks via various "legal" loopholes managed to short 140% of the entire gamestop stocks. As in, more than even exist. They were also trying to influence people...

    Yeah now I'd probably drop them more on the edge or get ready to surecast(but if he towers twice on the purple poop that's gonna be a death again so eh). Sucks cause it was a dead instance, was the only one who had access, when usually it's like 1/15 chance to get it. Almost had to lose 15k...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Last level is 280k btw, not ~150k like I expected, that's an even bigger jump. FATEs give like 4-5k average, so that's about 70 of them give or take a few for the CEs you clear(but any death is -1500), which is still a substantial amount of time if you count 2-3mins per FATE. I fucking failed...

    It's just boring as fuck I think, it's not longer than Eureka, not anywhere close, but doing the same shit the whole way feels terrible. The 12+ definitely slows down, needed 90k I think for 13, then 110k for 14 and I assume around 130-140k for 15, and you get like ~2-3k per fate(well it scales...

    Yeah don't know exactly why it's like this, they might have more stuff in 5.5 hard to say. Bozjan grind fucking sucks though, I'm catching up slowly but the 12+ mettle reqs are fucking stupid, takes way too long to rank up, which I guess is more in line with what they did with Eureka but it's...

    The new BA is next week, there should be a step after but it's unclear what it'll be and it'll be announced in the live letter(the one after the expansion announcement). I guess having the new BA stuff earlier is better so people can do it for a longer period of time and stuff, and they might...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Na even when they have fanfests, they also have live letters after that talking about the expansion more in details. Which usually is in may. It is unclear if that may will be similar or if it's just gonna emulate a "second" fanfest instead in terms of content. Basically, the feb5th event would...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Windows updates take fucking forever to install nowadays for whatever reason? I guess cause they're trying to do background installs and shit, but like I ran into some PC issues so first thing I figured I'd upgrade Nvidia and Windows shit since I always delay it by several months until such an...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Interestingly, they're running a Live Letter a few hours after the expansion reveal to talk about 5.5(and maybe a bit about 5.45). Expansion stream is at 5:30PM PST, Liveletter is at 10PM PST.

    Well everyone uses potions, and they've had chemist stuff for a while with Black Rose experiments and so on. It's also not very different than Alchemist, just a more combat medic oriented style. But they have a lot of this, for example Pirates/Merlwyb have been using 1h guns for a while and...

    Geomancer could also be healer mind you. In XI they were healers, and they'd mirror AST as the "support healer" since they had ground buffs shit like WoW's shaman totems. Or it could be something entirely different, there's a lot of things they could go with if they wanted to, doesn't have to be...

    Well to be fair they could just upgrade to existing classes too. Like Alisae could become a summoner, she has a certain affinity with some of the summons after all. Alphinaud could be promoted to White Mage or something. And it might just be filler stuff/translated stuff. That said the...

    Since they're stacking all the fanfests into this, I'd expect both class reveals, assuming they go 2 classes like usual. Should have a lot of info, expect it to last ~2hours with a break or something. They'll probably announce 5.45 date too while at it, can't wait for BLU update.

    Black Desert

    The game that might turn out good(or not) is Dungeon Fighter 2, or 3D or whatever they're calling it, but it's not coming out soon in Korea, so probably not for a very long time in the west. The combat looks more similar to Blade and Soul(less big skills, more emphasis on juggling/combos etc)...

    Path of Exile

    Yes "more" is always better. One way to think about it is more gives you the listed percentage to all your damage, but increased only gives you the % to the base damage, which is not your whole damage(unless you have absolutely no other base damage modifiers, or increased, then it's your whole...

    Path of Exile

    More is multiplicative, increased is additive. More is always going to yield 15% more dmg, while increased would be relative to your already existing amount of cold dmg(if you have +100%, adding 15% actually increases your overall dmg by 7.5%)

    Path of Exile

    Yeah nvm I misread some of the patch notes/gem description shit anyway, I read firestorm 100% more area of effect as 100% more damage for area of effect and thought the part about the change to hits and ailments was on that, so I thought it was 250% more damage and then another 100% more damage...

    Anyone who played Heist, how rare were alt quality gems? I'm thinking of a build but I'd need an alt quality main skill for it to function properly so not entirely sure how easy it'd be to get.

    Path of Exile

    They buffed Skeleton mages a lot though, so they might become the new shit. Skeletons are nice because they don't need fancy shit if they die like spectres, you just press the button again and make more. 50% more dmg and double proj speed are quite hefty buffs for them. That said I don't know...

    One of the necro nerf I don't get is them removing minion duration from mistress. Temporary minion builds aren't even that good? It just makes them more tedious. I feel at least it should have been moved somewhere(unless they're moving it on the tree, or on the gems, then it's fine I guess)...

    So much shit doesn't even show patch notes until the day of the patch. And PoE has been the same for patch note release for years, it's a few days before the league, which is really enough.

    Path of Exile

    Every league, most of the big streamers make new videos with the "best" starter guides, most of which have various links on how to build and stuff. These are generally good. If you mean to play right now, you'd look at the ones from Heist launch, if you mean for next league, there won't be...

    Yeah maybe I know I paid people to do even not too hard stuff just so I didn't have to bother, like killing that boss while imitating a monkey riding a bike and all these shits. There's also buying uniques or whatever the fuck they usually have, this kind of stuff, but usually you can get a lot...

    Path of Exile

    They do but generally you'll get a fair bit just playing, then a few you can farm for a few hours to finish, and everything else you can liquidate your currency to just buy them(if you're SSF you migrate first), and then you're done with the league. If you want to keep playing well I guess you...

    Different team working on this than the MHW one, which probably is already working on a new next gen+PC MH. This will potentially release on PC too eventually, as per the leaks.

    You get to save 10 crafts at your... horticulture station or whatever? I haven't played Harvest. They said it'll be available in your hideout too, so you can save some crafts for later, but you can't just stack everything you find.
  31. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    Reading the comments about Heist though, they didn't really do anything to "fix" it, and you're still going to have to level rogues every league, which sounds like ass when there's already unveiling shit and doing lab and so on every league. Seems they nerfed golemancer too, maybe a mistake in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The efficiency would go down but it's not like it couldn't be done with beastmaster hunters, or whatever else is the most convenient if that too gets nerfed. In Suramar when I played last year there were a bunch of hunters too camping some of the more static spots, while the druids were circling...

    2020 GOTY

    I think Risk of Rain 2 is the only game I played this year that also came out this year. Everything else has been backlog/older/continuous stuff(FFXIV mostly, not much PoE this year), so I guess it'd win by default for me, but I wouldn't really say it's a GOTY game even if it's good. Doesn't...

    Path of Exile

    That's Path of Exile builds for the most part, a very large part of your build is dedicated to survivability(which generally means life), and that's why making builds once you get the overall concept isn't really that complicated, you just get the keystones that are important for your build, see...

    Ashes of Creation

    Any ability like black hole is basically the core of any mass pvp engagement, grouping people together so they get smashed by aoes wins fights instantly. This is also unlikely to be a full ability list, I'd assume? Game is in like pre alpha or some shit they're just showing off fancy effects.
