    They took out the "thank you" VO line from the wanzer dealer. Unforgiveable.

    I deathmarched for Cressida the other day and I was surprised how fast it went. I needed about 30 points and it took me just under an hour to do it. The most efficient way to do it is to go into training with 4 spear Dragoons and 8 level one Galgistan units. Have your Dragoons shishkebab them...

    PQ3 has been announced: Announcing ProQuest Season 3 I'm gonna try to go to five. I don't expect to get an invite but hopefully I can get top 8 at one.

    Rogue is still in the game. You can recruit a familiar that has the class or you are able to (allegedly) obtain the classmark in a shop later in the game.

    Gaffgarion fight can be a big chokepoint as well because even though you have other units on the map, none of them can reach Ramza and Gaffgarion. I don't think there's a save right before that battle, though.

    Yeah I don't see Spirit staying at a high price, but I do think it's a very good card and a properly played Boltyn is a real deck in CC (albeit with several bad matchups).

    Snagged my Regicide promo from this weekend's armory. No Prisms showed up so the ice queen swept. 😎

    I'm only a handful of battles into Tactics Ogre Reborn and it is just mind-blowing how much better this game is than FFT in both story and gameplay. I don't know how much was changed from the original Ogre but I can hardly believe that FFT came after this game because FFT just does everything worse.

    I wouldn't say that, Prism has the tools to beat pretty much any deck in blitz. She can even race Fai with heralds, that's how crazy she is.

    Well shoot... this weekend is for the Regicide promos and Iyslander just got hit pretty hard. Feels really weird considering Prism didn't get hit at all.

    Yeah I find voice communication is pretty necessary for CC classes. That or you need to type really fast and hope people are paying attention.

    Brigs will definitely be able to solo better, but Marshals aren't bad at it.

    Warlords are good but I think players overvalue them for the stamina regen buff they bring. It's pretty minimal (+1 Stamina every 6 seconds). Warlord's better utility comes through their group HP regen (very useful when fighting enemies with AoE damage as no other class has an AoE heal until...

    Both are instrumental in groups because they stop you from getting wiped by a bad pull or adds. I think the game needs more Marshalls (because they can tank as well) but either class is a great choice.

    A word of warning: don't try to run ember vein dungeons with scrubs. You might be able to get your bag back but the brain cell losses are permanent.

    I should get on that. I'm 15 and XP sources in Northreach have really dried up. I've noticed that overall, grinding outside of dungeons seems to be faster XP than grinding inside of dungeons. Mob density is too spread out inside of dungeons and ^^^ don't give enough additional XP over ^^ mobs...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    I summoned every single poundmate I had access to for that fight and also kept a musician on full-time defense buffing duty and it still wasn't enough. I know I could beat them if I went and grinded the 10 level difference for higher stats, I just don't want to do that.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Yakuza Like a Dragon, the double boss fight with Goro Majima and Taiga Saejima. This feels like an endgame superboss that they throw as a major roadblock to completing the game's story. They are both ten levels higher than any other enemy in the dungeon in which they appear, and they also have...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I think they might have given away too much of the story in that trailer. I compare it to FFXV's marketing campaign which made a point not to give any spoilers past the first chapter of the game.

    The one advantage to the seller doing the repairs is that they can happen before escrow closes. Depending on what needs to be done, it can be a bit of a bummer to have to wait until after close and the seller moves out before you can do what needs to be done in order for you to move in. I think...

    Each specialization has skills that are more geared towards certain roles than others. Defenders Juggernaut: AoE/offense-oriented tank Knight: Defense-oriented tank Marshal: CC tank Strikers Berserker: DPS with AoE skills Brigand: DPS with CC abilities (this is closest to your EQ Enchanter)...

    Class diversity seems fine, it's not super impressive but the 9 specializations all feel distinct without being too niche. Yeah it's low range but that's fine because as a healer I need to be in range of my tank to heal him anyways. The thing packs some serious punch for its level.

    Camped the ancient bear for about two hours today. Finally killed it and got an insane crossbow for completing the quest! The ancient bear itself has no drops so there's no reason to kill it if you're not on the quest.

    The new Mechanologist gun looks fantastic. The Ranger bow could also be a gamechanger for Azalea, depending on what aim counters do. So far I'm not really excited about any of the Wizard cards (the weapon looks awful), but there's still many unrevealed cards for the set so there could be some...

    The 2e ruleset has been settled for about three years now. It's good. I've never wanted to go back to Pathfinder 1e since picking it up.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Correct. Pathfinder 1e is not balanced. When Wrath was announced, I was really hoping they would switch to the 2e ruleset, which is much better balanced and palatable for new players. 1e is so dense with nonsense that I haven't been able to resume my playthrough in Chapter 4 because I forgot my...

    Exactly this. My day-to-day work is full remote, but in my industry, you don't get hired off of resumes; you only get hired off of recommendations.

I've put quite a bit of work into it but it wasn't really being sold as a "fixer-upper;" it was liveable, if dated. This is about an hour...
