    Lost Ark Online

    Those skill point potions, virtue points, etc that you get from those roster quests are roster wide. You can see them on your roster page (O by default). Aftert finishing the Vern quest (killing the necromancer dude) you are mailed a power pass. After using it, you'll get your second one.

    It's not that it happens all the time, it's about the one time you're doing EX2 as the tank and you get smeared because you're a boomer with 50 years of 'muscle memory' so you can't modify your playstyle to adapt to new input controls. Nobody gives a shit outside of savage/extreme/ultimates...

    Pretty sure runes only start dropping at max level content. I have leveled to 50 and haven't seen any. I am not through the story yet, just getting to Vern. Do I really have to just keep doing more story even though I hit 50 midway through the last continent? As for the story/pacing, once you...

    As a melee, I have muscle memory to strafe run out of things to maximize uptime on the boss, not to turn my camera and run 'forward' out of aoes. Just a 45 degree camera turn and strafe/run. Many times prior to legacy I'd be strafing out of an AE and hit an ability only to have my dude stop...

    I was just emphasizing your point that the real feature is not having to face a particular direction (in bold) and that it doesn't really change THAT much otherwise. Game must be in a mid-patch lull if we're arguing with someone who is pre-Heavensward with less than half of their kit about...

    If you are playing with legacy on, it basically just changes it so your backstep is full speed run. You ignore your character model and just do your rotation. You still spin the camera just as much to see what is going on, but now you can back up 1 foot out of an ae without touching the camera...

    Is Lost Ark P2W? Yes Is Lost Ark just a fotm game that board members will latch onto for a month, desperately trying to fill the void until they inevitably end up back on another EQ TLP after they promised that they were done? Also yes. Nobody gives a shit if it is or isn't P2W because it's a...

    vg was saying gunlancer is great in random content, but if you're in a static you prob just want another dps. Ultimately you're going to be doing this shit on at least 3 characters so why not have one be a gunlancer? Question about the power pass, is that a one time thing, or is it once per...

    I played around with using a ps4 controller and it worked fine once I turned it on in steam. Needed to remap the controls a bit to get off of their reliance on LT/LB for everything. The only annoying part is the mouse cursor is slow as shit.

    To put it in capeshit terms, it's like forcing someone to watch 20+ hours of Thor 2 so they can watch Winter Soldier, Ragnarok, Infinity War, etc. People who say "it's not that bad" are either retarded or looking back at it after having already liked the game. It's a time capsule of how bad...

    This is where people keep talking past one another. If you're concerned with making good games, Bobby Kotick is terrible at his job. If you're concerned with making good money, then he's great at it. There is a fundamental and philosophical disagreement about the 'point' of a game company. From...

    Such injustice. Now Regulus/Una are paypig only servers and all of my poor working class friends who were waiting for F2P are segregated to the ghettos!? I hope commie twitter is doing something about this clear classism.

    I don't think there are server transfers? At least not free. You have to reroll. I don't think they have any special logic in place. If you claimed those items, they will be re-sent to your claim window, specifically the ones they outlined. You can then claim them on whatever server.

    God damn they never learn. The worst thing you can do for an MMO is fully lock character creation during the early critical period. If you're too smooth brain to find a better solution, then at least have some kind of an invite system where people can give their friends a pass to create a...

    Speaking of 'forum noise', what is all the chatter about censorship that is going on? Are people upset that there aren't physics enabled labia hanging out of their shorts? Does ASG have control over the game that supercedes the Koreans? I know /vg/ was complaining about the % of 'diverse'...

    The problem is, all that matters to people are ordinal differences, not the actual spread. In THE GAME THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED, the logging community also attributes buffed dps you give to other classes to the buffer. So you look at the rDPS of the class, not the personal DPS. Even then, if the...

    Yeah. I was doing savage with a group and I felt one person was not 100% pulling their weight. Talked to someone else in the group and it turns out they are deaf and play on a console. All discord call outs were coming out text to speech on whatever system they had. So they were actually doing...

    The main thing is FF14 doesn't have any 'hard mode' for the dungeons. In WoW, the standard, queueable dungeons are definitely something you just yolo your way through (AE but per pack vs the entire wing). WoW dungeons become more interesting when you get into M+ only because the trash becomes...

    Yes, it's nice in the same way that your husband COULD have hit you 3 times but only hit you once. There is literally a quest where you're tasked to have some guy with a horn play music. You walk across the camp to find out he won't play because he has a sore throat, so you need to go get him...

    Is there any reason to level an alt manually vs just using the power pass at max level? Waiting on a buddy to log in and didn't know if I should waste my time with another character.

    A second job is just if you want to min max xp gain. 1-50 isn't terrible either way so don't feel like it is obligatory. At 50 you can unlock other jobs that are further along to soak xpac xp. In fact, you'll have the opposite problem of the one you are complaining about when you unlock...

    Have to say, this is some of the worst questing I've ever done, and I played New World. Lots of times where you are literally just riding your horse back and forth between two people in camp. The story is also hilariously bad in some places. I can see why they give you 2 level 50 boosts for free...

    There are lots of adds because you pull from the entrance to the boss in one big pull. They call it 'wall to wall' and you basically just run until you can't run any more then park and the group AEs down the pack. If you are so low level that you are with players who don't have their AEs yet...

    If you're tanking, you want to be using them when you can so you can pull bigger in dungeons. Low level is actually harder than higher level just because nobody has any buttons to press. The design of the pre-SB dungeons also has way more trash per wall, which can get hairy. In general, most...

    Nothing else to talk about with everyone just watching the very pretty queue screen. P2W discussion is dumb anyway. The only two categories that matter are 'cash shop' or 'no cash shop'. Everything else is masturbatory hair splitting.

    You know what is dumb is that you can buy an ARR story skip, but you can't buy a level 50 level boost. So the 'best advice' for getting someone bootstrapped to Heavensward is to boost some other class you want to play later, then unlock Samurai or Red Mage to take advantage of all the XP from...
