    Fish were a pain in the ass to get for Cooking, is all I'm going to say. I went through that Ward food the most (anti-Lost), and always had a need for it. As long as Fishing provides a source for Cooking, I'm peachy with it. They used to have a signup option on newworld.com but I'm not seeing...

    I kind of wish they had kept the destruction in for (white colored) crafted/leveling gear, then adjust recipes like Facet to green quality. Having to sell off or desynth my levelling gear became a pita.

    I have high hopes for the 5.3 main scenario, given how 5.2 ended. I'm really hoping they lead off with a lore bomb because the cutscenes after finishing Anamnesis Anyder were a complete tease.

    I figured Zenos has been slurping up souls all this time (since he received his artificial Echo) and that's why he was able to overpower even Elidibus in Zenos's body. It's why I think he's going to try and take down Hydaelyn and Zodiark and install himself as this nihilistic deity who is the...

    Cursed

    I'm with @Mahes after watching four episodes. I don't feel as invested into the story as I did with Warrior Nun, which was partly helped by Warrior Nun having constant cliffhanger like endings that made me want to know what happened in the next episode (the season finale notwithstanding). I'll...

    They aren't kidding about Spring 2021. Real question is what does this mean for Alpha, even factoring in the August 25th "appreciation period"? Still, I'm not entirely surprised but I am glad they had the balls to push it back to have more substance rather than a shallow launch.

    This about covers my reaction as well. Serious blue balling on the end of the season. That said, it had some pretty memorable parts.

    I miss playing Mystic sometimes. I have hopes that Life Staff gameplay won't be an utter snoozefest as far as the healing is concerned, but the bits from the IGN and MeinMMO videos are hard to analyze in that regard. You get told about one ability that destroys your mana pool (Siphon) but the...

    Probably. I'm not expecting a second coming of an MMO king. I've played TERA and BDO both, and some aspects to their designs just aren't my thing, so I'm curious to see how much NW will compare if at all. I'm mostly looking for something during my FF14 downtime when I haven't got the urge to...

    I think I need a change of pace, with FF14 having its content delay, so I might sell my soul to Amazon to try out beta. I've been very curious after researching NW and watching all the videos and reading the articles laying around. It looks and sounds very nice, but yeah the features don't win...

    They're extremely loathe to do major changes (e.g. machinist's rework) during the content patch cycle. We wouldn't see major healer changes until 6.0 at the earliest, I would estimate. Ninja's changes were a bit of an exception to that, so maybe they'll nudge things at 5.4 but I really doubt...

    Daily roulettes refers to the Duty Roulette option in the Duty Finder. Every day you can queue for any and all of them (that are unlocked*). For sub-50 characters, that's likely only Duty Roulette: Leveling, Guildhests, and Frontline (PVP). Leveling gives a lot of xp so it should carry you to...

    Yeah, the early game is a point of rebalancing for sure. After chewing through the prologue, it was very jarring just how high the difficulty spiked as a new character. Early game mobs hit too hard in melee. A part of me thinks Bears shouldn't even spawn in the early forest, but at the same...

    I don't know about anyone else, but I thought Eden was a real treat this time. None of the fights really struck me as boring, and holy hell was e8n aesthetic.

    There is the possibility that the "MSQ ??? + Chronicles ???" is something that pops after completion of Eden normal. I'm thinking of the Lv 80 job quests, and especially the "after you finish the instance" Ivalice ones (with the CUL food turnins).

    Is this where we place bets on what e8s's boss will actually be, and the additional phase(s) for Savage? Putting my money down on it being Ryne transformed into Shiva*, and then she progresses to full out Oracle of Light / Demi-Hydaelyn for Savage. Then again, they might save Demi-Hydaelyn /...

    Having spent a few hours on it now, my biggest issue is that it's not very friendly. Not knowing which tile on the map you're in, the considerable distance between save spots, the inventory game where you have to carry pain, hunger, thirst, and healing items which compete with drops... It...

    AST got a mini-buff (potencies) and some cast time improvements, but they didn't get a huge amount of change. The biggest change AST was given was the QoL upgrade to Sleeve Draw and Minor Arcana, to reduce your OGCD usage and streamline it more. Celestial Opposition got a healthy buff, whereas...

    The major issues with BLU doing any of the higher-end content are twofold: 1. Mechanics that "always target" a Tank/Healer will not "always target" a Tank/Healer mimicry, from what I've seen for myself. IE - Everyone has to be ready to handle things that only a Tank/Healer handled previously...

    Blue Mage to level 60 went live, and I have to say, the sync bonus to learn rate is pretty damn high. I've yet to not learn a single spell on the first try if I was in a sync'd run. Also, move over 1000 Needles, because Launcher is here to make you obsolete for trash cheese. (But it does have...

    Not sure if it takes the crown as a_skeleton_02 suggests, but I can say it's arguably the most dramatic. When Ultima Weapon (Ultimate) came out, everyone got suckered into realizing the Woken mechanic was required and not a buff on the boss to be avoided. As Mister Happy - I think it was him -...

    If by slowly you mean since Ahn'Qiraj back in 2007(?), then sure. As far as corpses go, Y'Shaarj was arguably the only one, and even then he kind of remained lurking in a fashion via the seven Sha in Pandaria. Yogg-Saron and C'Thun technically had larger forms but we only really saw their...

    MTG: Arena

    It's a little bit counterintuitive because we want to think of it as sequential with respect to the lands (especially in paper because you're getting them out of your library/hand one at a time), but that's not what the card is saying for its condition.

    They definitely listened to feedback about the Philosophy version. Even the base dungeon runs are x3 instead of x1, and Crystal Tower is x3 from x2. People on reddit are thinking that PVP will be the way to go for farming this event.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    And this is why I had no desire to play Classic again. Tagging mobs as a warlock was absolute cancer to my patience and ability to quest my way to 60, because (iirc) dots had to do damage to tag it and that got old fast.
