    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Nice screenshots Pyros. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up nerfing the Arcanist tank pet. It was possible to tank any of the P4 accessible dungeons (up to Halatali) with it, and from my P3 experience, I imagine it's possible to do everything up to 35 too. ACN damage might not be top for...

    Sounds like you have a phase 3 client or something Fenz. It's working fine for me - installed and updated.

    What about Leviathan as a server? Higher population than malboro but not as extreme as gilg - seems like a good balance.

    The Secret World

    On the subject of alts - bwuceli certainly seems to have the same tone of assuming arrogance as qwerty, as well as one post since he was banned...coincidence...? On a more TSW related note, the intention of a quarry raid is for AP farming, not signet farming. For solo play, melee builds...

    The Secret World

    I haven't played for a while but have been logging in for this anniversary. I'd be up for it (10.2-10.4 geared as either dps or healer) - on sike.

    You can heal dungeons as a THM all the way up to manor at least. Assuming you don't run out of MP, and especially if it has that stance system, I imagine it will be just as doable with an Arcanist.

    I can't access the beta forums whilst at work, but what you just posted there doesn't imply a weekend only test? Hopefully we're onto longer periods.

    I also hate having to have a surname attached with character. Maybe I'll go Ser Sike or something.

    I'm a little confused - if you select Black Mage as your job, I thought you could also use THM and PUG abilities. Is that not the case?

    Which is why I said it was luck based. The antidote has a 3 minute cd - the poison can get applied multiple times in that cooldown interval, so if you get unlucky you simply can't survive it as a THM.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Did anyone try the quest "Duty, Honor, Country" as a THM? Ridiculously difficult (found it was luck based on the timing of being poisoned) since you can't get cure from Gridania before you complete it..

    Defiance

    So, this thread made it to page 3 - game is officially dead; I was only reminded of its existence due to a steam offer! Wonder if they cancelled the show yet.

    That was it - beyond retarded. I couldn't even just unequip the second loadout, had to manually equip every slot to be the same as loadout 1. Only then could I sell the items.

    Anyone else finding there are certain items (random crap) you can't delete, sell or salvage from your inventory?

    Django Unchained

    Saw the film last night - absolutely fantastic. The entire cast put out a nothing short of stellar performance. I think you guys are missing a key element of Schultz's character that meant his death was in no way out of character. The man was an honourable, gentleman scholar to whom death was...

    The Secret World

    The few quests this could apply to are very much optional (no lasting character benefit etc), so it's not as if TSW revolves around this kind of gameplay. It is simply a little extra that builds upon the excellent 'investigation quests', moving away from the standard kill 10 bears style of MMO.

    The Secret World

    Fully encourage people to try this. The PVE is fantastic; a real thinking man's game. This remains the only game I have had to go back over university Physics notes in order to solve a quest!

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Lol it appears I am a retard. It took me another 20 minutes of attempting to click on the tree with my finger, but I can confirm the ring is still there! Looting things is definitely the most frustrating thing about playing the game on iPad.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Anyone else playing this on iPad? Kind of nice to play in bed, although the touchscreen interface can be a little annoying sometimes. Also, they appear to have removed the hidden Ring of Wizardry from the tree!
