    Gotta love it.

    Defiance

    Oh I believe it, and I'm sure it's got its gaping flaws down the road and yes there is a reason it is $5.00. It is one drop away from a F2P which I'm sure it will be soon enough, but I will probably only play it an hour or 2 a week, it will probably last me a year lol. I've spent more on...

    Defiance

    It's on Origin today for $5. I finally went ahead and bit. It's actually not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It is suprisingly polished from what I've seen the first hour I've played. Apparently there is pvp and vehicles and 4 wheelers and raids against big monsters. I love...

    Post Your Pet

    I had to put down my cat of 13 years today, had him since my bachelor days. It was super hard. He was really old, and even though he was still spry, he couldn't keep any weight on, and puked every time he ate no matter which food, and started not using his litter box about a year ago and it's...

    So what do I do with this RAAU key? I clicked the alternative link and typed it in there, and it is bringing up this Am I supposed to add this to my beta or what?

    Lol Springbok, careful now. I see some EQ style forever alone breakup in your future!

    No, it won't rival or dethrone WoW, I said it won't be a WoW sized hit, but it will exceed its own expectations like WoW did at launch. WoW planned for what a few hundred thousand, and got multi-millions? It will outsell SWToR though I predict. I know you don't care for the game, but there...

    Also, saw this on reddit. It is pretty cool, I really do hope this game does well because more players = more content usually (hopefully) I do think that word of mouth really is going to blow this game up like WoW did. Give it a few weeks when they have everything stabilized and this...

    Well I got passed this screen By using a different username. I think what happened is there are 2 Square Enix accounts. The FFXIV square one, and a regular SE one. I had one on SE using the username that was the same as my FFXIV SE account, so it was making me reregister a new username...

    Just to chime in a few things that I read on the last page. You can change your Grand Company choice and probably will multiple times at high levels when new GC specific gear gets added. Like switching because this item over in this GC is better, etc. Also, PVP is going to have its own...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    So what is a good Usenet server to buy from? I have used Astraweb for years, but paying $10 for 25gb just seems like a ripoff especially when a BR movie or game can take 10gb alone. I don't want to subscribe monthly as one month I may download 500mb of music, and the next I may DL 10gb, so I...

    Breaking Bad

    So what was the point of showing the crappy meth guys get shot up and taken over by Todd and uncles? They are taking over obviously, but they wouldn't have shown that scene unless it is some tool in the story. It's just not valuable enough on it's own to justify taking up show time. So either...

    Lol the subligar. People bitched about that in FFXI too. I think it's funny they brought it back, and you only have to wear it for an hour or so before upgrading it this time around (as opposed to weeks in FFXI) The pink armor, you can dye. You get a dye skill around 18 from Uldah area...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    No, you'll come across more quest hubs. Your story quests will lead you to them. You may end up in Uldah's area though doing quest hubs there, as thats where the story leads you to after the dungeon quests.

    Yeah just finally got in Gilga. If you get an error about cannot create any more characters error 3035, dont do like I did and sit there retrying, exit client and remake char and you can get right in.

    Duck Dynasty - Season 4

    That was probably one of the best episodes since season 2. Season 3 started good but started to drag a bit for me. It was entertaining but I didn't laugh out loud hardly at all during season 3, whereas season 2 I did multiple times an episode. Last night's episode though had me laughing out...

    Tablets

    Good to know. I guess I am just used to playing tablet games that are optimized for touchscreen controls. At that point you probably just need to attach a mouse, and if you end up needing a BT keyboard too, may as well get a laptop. Doesn't mean I don't want one still lol.
  22. Stave

    Tablets

    I'm pretty sure the touch screen just emulates a mouse. So games like D3, etc you could tap the ground to move/fight. Then there is that Overwolf software that pretty much turns your tablet into a full keyboard + mouse/joystick. I'm sure there are other programs that you could configure up...

    This is true, and these quest battles aren't like WoW style faceroll easy either. This buff probably won't even bring these battles to WoW levels of easy. I died multiple times on my Pugalist quest on one of the class quest battles. Now I didn't need nor really want a buff to make it easier...

    Tablets

    Definitely. They range from $700-$1200ish. The Razer Edge is the top of the line but are pricey, like 1200 bucks or so, but they are the ultimate shitter device! Just think of all the numb asses. At this price range though, it might just be better off spending that money for a beastly...

    Tablets

    So I want to pick up a Windows 8 (Not RT) Tablet. But I don't want to spend an assload on one. I'm sure they are going to come down in price in time, but right now the only one I can really find in the $300 range is the Acer Iconia W3. Everything else seems to be $700+. I'd mainly like one...

    Torchlight 2

    I tried to like this game. I'm weird. I liked D3 and played the shit out of it and made some cash off it too, but I bought 2 copies of TL2 for me and the wife, and just cannot get into it. I probably ruined it though, because I added some mod classes, and they were kinda OP. That and it's...

    Maybe this is not the graph you are talking about, but to me it looks like Gilgamesh only has like 5-10% more players than the other servers. Not 2x the population. They are all actually pretty even.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well thats good news at least. Definitely did not want to roll on a server with them there.

    Excalibur is a legacy server. According to Utnayan though

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I am leaning towards Leviathan or Behemoth servers myself. Whichever one doesn't doesn't have Brazilians. I avoid them like the plague. Anyone heard where they are going yet? I can't translate their FFXIV BR facebook page, as I don't have a facebook account to log in to translate. I would...

    I'm not gonna lie, it does do a lot of things that standard MMO's do, but it does them as well or better it seems. Itemization may be boring, but there are plenty of non-boring things, like the epic story lines, etc. My best comparison was calling it WoW 1.5. It isn't trying to fundamentally...
  33. Stave

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah there will be 2 tiers to start with, along with multiple primal fights. WoW had what, Molten Core, and Onyxia at launch? This will be like having MC, BWL, and 3+ Onyxia type fights at launch (Primals).
  34. Stave

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe I missed something, but I don't understand where the fear of no endgame at launch is. Yeah there are some naysayers on the thread here who are speculating that because P4 is level 20 cap, that that must somehow mean there is no endgame (even though legacy players will get to be level 50...

    EQ Never

    Well I was actually not hyped at all for EQN but now I am. I do think this will be the MMO that dethrones WoW, and tbh, it was probably what Titan was going for, and they found out what EQN was doing. Considering Titan was said to be a user created content game. But, fact of the matter is...
  36. Stave

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah that's a bit odd, considering I am running an AMD Phenom 1045t 3.5ghz 6 core, and an MSI 650ti boost 2gb stock OC, and at 1440x900 I am getting 9700. Your i7 and 760 should be a good 20% ahead of me really, unless your rocking some super high resolution.

    My score went up quite a bit with the new benchmark. Now rocking about 10k. They have really optimized this engine. It is especially noticeable during the ifrit fight and when all the people are walking by the aether crystal. 60fps with like 40-50 players on the screen looking amazing. Even...
