    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think some of the old dungeon bosses don't have omni directional hitboxes, like in ARR and shit, but yeah for the most part anything since like SB works that way where they have no positionals if they're on the side of the arena by design. Also everything in deep dungeons and I think a bunch...

    I mean SAM has positionals too. Viper has like one positional per 3GCD combo(that alternates between back and flank), and the 2H combo alternates 2 positionals in a row(you choose which one you start with but the 2nd one is always the other one) but it also has like 2.5s GCD even with the speed...

    Well I'm biased cause I'm not interested in it at all but yeah at least for me it doesn't look particularily fun to play, although it's flashy and fast so should appeal to a lot of people. And yeah it fits the same role as SAM, it has no party buff at all, you just kinda want to line up your...

    It's a bit of a mix of several classes. The main combo is somewhat like Dragoon maybe, with 2 branching paths, but you just kinda alternate so there's never really any choice. Technically it's 2 branching paths x2 so 4 outcomes but the outcomes combo into each other so there's no choice of what...

    I think they might add it later with an UI screenshot of how it looks ingame maybe, or they'll add something in the tooltip somewhere to signify you can decouple them. I think generally anything that replaces an oGCD with another oGCD that can be used instantly can be decoupled.

    You cannot see it from the description. The descriptions will only mention it if the skill cannot be placed on the hotbar at all, but for many of the new skills replacing a button, they can also be placed on a bar separately(if you don't want to cast them by mistake if you're spamming the oGCD...

    I didn't say desynth wasn't good, I said actually leveling desynth doesn't really do anything. I think you get HQ mats more often maybe and it mentions giving "rare" items more often but the rare stuff is usually just garbo anyway so it's whatever. I still desynth a lot, I just haven't bothered...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Fool, you lost 10% xp on a crafting class from the desynth challenge log. I didn't play much this expansion so I barely have anything to desynth. A few raid gear pieces which can't be desynthed until the expansion(like from current raid) and a couple of crafted pieces. Desynth leveling is one...

    That's the big FATE in Ultima Thule, it's already in the game, it's the fate that gives the level checker mount. They listed the 2 big FATEs from ShB(the big snake thing in Tempest and the giant robot in Kholusia) and the 2 in EW(the one on an island off the coast in Thavnair and the one on a...

    For me the no background doesn't work anyway but I block a ton of scripts so maybe it's that. You can mute the tab but not the player and I think that works too(with firefox, don't know about chrome). I always collect my shit in the background. If it doesn't work yeah just have your phone or...

    Twitch.tv

    Regardless he made a ton of money while streaming so unless he was being a complete fucking idiot with his money he should be set for the rest of his life anyway. Story sounds very much like he did something morally wrong but not technically illegal. Something like grooming isn't technically...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    When you play all of it at once it definitely is pretty tiring, I think it makes more sense when you think there's 4months between every patch so people who play continually have these little bits of story and have already "forgotten" about the boring bits before that. The post expansion MSQ is...

    Bit sad it's for launch only and not early access, could have used that massive 1% xp on Pictomancer but I guess I'll settle for the random other jobs after. Anyway free stuff is nice and it isn't some randomized shit or have to buy products shit so that's great. I'll just leave a stream open in...

    Black Desert

    Checked the website to see if there was free shit but the event is next week and there's no J hammer event listed yet so guess it'll be later, I'll probably login to claim all that stuff. Not a big fan of them forcing guilds to choose which facet they want to focus on exclusively, lots of...

    You can't, they specifically say you can't enter the code until they do the maintenance on the mogstation. Mogstation is usually fine anyway, you can register during downtime after it comes back up or just like during the weekend. Only thing that sucks during expansion launch is buying anything...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Looks like pretty big nerfs to big beam of death gameplay, then again that shit is pretty fucking dumb so not gonna miss it. Rest doesn't matter too much I'd think cause there's likely going to be more broken shit to exploit in the DLC itself.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah Metroid 4 being 2025 likely means it'll be cross gen. Also likely means it'll look like shit in Switch 1 in comparison since I assume they're gonna push it to be a Switch 2 selling title and make it look much better there as an incentive. The other games looked neat, the Zelda game...

    One factor to consider is it's the end of the expansion and ppl are farming logs a lot, and comps that farm are usually gonna be the highest DPS(like Black mage/Monk) so when a support buffs them(like BRD/DNC) they get relatively a bigger boost to their rDPS, which puts them ahead of where they...

    BLU you can kinda level without much gear/get powerleveled naked, but well it's also very fast if you're doing it manually(like 3-4hours to get to 80 from your current level or so)

    Total War: Warhammer

    So the leaks were either completely wrong or they didn't have info on the next stuff(or that stuff is somehow free but that sounds unlikely, probably gonna be like the previous DLC). I hope they get around to doing a Tomb Kings rework

    Lost Ark Online

    Interesting that seems pretty quick all things considered, both T4 being september and them patching some parts of it earlier. Too early for me though, July I'll probably still be playing Dawntrail so I'll maybe look into it after that.

    Path of Exile

    If they kill flask spamming and only keep flasks for like healing or removing status and shit I think it'd be ok. You can still use mouse movement at times instead of relying on wasd all the time, and you should definitely assign mouse 2/3/4/5 to skills so you don't need as many keyboard...

    Path of Exile

    It seems after they added wasd for that one crossbow class, they went back and added it to every class which supposedly is why there was a big delay on the beta. You can still use the mouse to move if you want, you can click to move then target the enemy to cast while walking where you clicked...

    Path of Exile

    As primarily a minion player, the amount of QoL in those new systems is amazing. Being able to direct minions, not having to resummon them constantly/keep track of the numbers to see if one randomly died for no specific reason and giving them a lot more customization+active skills for less...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    To be fair if you're gonna have romance I think making most chars romanceable by anyone is fine. It sucks when I have to romance shitty chars because of the gender I selected. The fact they're focusing on the sex scenes in the interview looks like they kinda skip the whole "romance" part and are...

    I mean it's been like that since ARR and this expansion is actually better than any previous in that regard since most classes didn't get any additional buttons at all(few exceptions though like SCH getting yet another button but that's the SCH thing). I can see not liking it but it's nothing...
  29. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They both have the normal amount of buttons though? Which is like about 2 hotbars+a few more with role actions/sprint/potion. That's like every class other than SMN and MCH(and PCT/VPR I guess), or well it's on the lower side with shit like PLD and SCH being closer to 3bars on the opposite side...

    The delayed floors as far as I could tell just go clockwise(maybe counterclockwise sometimes), so you don't really have to remember them, just the direction, then you stand on the edge of 2 zones and move between them. The relics are definitely boring but on the flipside they let you do any...

    Lost Ark Online

    I think once they get solo raids in I might give it a go at some point to just run through content. That's probably like 6months away though right? So won't be soon, but I'm thinking at some point in 2025 I'll probably give the game a whirl for a month or so.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I mean the game already has Cammy and while you could whine that her modern costume covers too much(even though it's skin tight spandex), her classic costume is also available with the original one piece high cut swimsuit. They're also adding Elena who likely will be even more naked than Mai.

    Gotta give it to them, that looks even worse than expected.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    And it is consistent, consistently not realistic. There's not a single scene in that trailer that has realistic firearms(or weapons in general, last I checked katanas don't shoot out waves of energy when you slash with them).

    Oh no the game that has beans killing each other doesn't have realistic weapons.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ninja is a fairly static rotation, it has braindead filler then a massive burst of dmg+buttons, it feels nice to get the burst done right but once you get the order memorized there's not much to it. I think SAM has some more optimization but not much, all the melees are kinda straightforward in...

    Problem of 24man is it takes a while to clear and only a few pieces drop(not guaranteed for your class), and then a lot of people roll cause they drop directly so they don't mind rolling to desynth/throw at the GC, while for normal raids you have to trade the pieces in and a lot of people just...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I will add, since you probably want to get the EW MSQ done though, it could be worth spending a bit. I wouldn't buy the whole set, make sure you check other servers, grab accessories for cheap(over here you can get them for 20-25k on some servers, same for boots/gloves/helm for some classes)...

    Monster Hunter: World

    New trailer, looks fucking awesome. Also confirms voiced hunter but still able to pick male/female(hunter is a female in this one, was male in previous trailer). Also I didn't watch the stream but supposedly they confirmed both crossplay and simultaneous releases.

    On drac I used void as my dmg spell, a block(I think the ice one is what I settled on in the end, can get good damage out of eating his projectile spam shit), pistols and scholar blood. Ult was spider, cause it's fire and forget(also condemn debuff for free). Pistol is nice because you get burst...
