You're a moron but you make me laugh because when you do posts like these it reminds me of one of my favorite TV characters.

Don't really understand why you're so defensive over me thinking Eureka is trash. I've read enough thorough opinions on it to know that it's still shit as you go up. Yeah reflecting sounds kinda neato from a conceptual standpoint but the actual gameplay is "aggro these mobs and wait for them to...

In any case, there's more thinking and activity happening in A1S, and the amount of time I had to spend doing it is much less than the amount of time total that needs to be spent in all of Eureka. In fact, I probably spent as much time in Anemos when it was first released...

It doesn't matter how efficient it is to me. I find the core gameplay mechanic to be insufferable so I don't want anything to do with it. I play games to unwind, not to get irritated. I have about half of my ARR relic done (stopped at books pre-nerf because they too, were insufferable, and I...

Sorry, I didn't mean Pyros, I mean the one that comes after Anemos. The snow one. Pagos? I read what people had to say and they outlined exactly why they hated it. That's good enough for me.

Because I can read and talk to people who have done it?

Doesn't matter to me. It's still hours of my life being wasted on mind-numbing bullshit I'll never get back. And even after Anemos, it's not like Pyros is much better.

Did you play Eureka at launch?

I just... don't find spamming my rotation for hours against mobs with zero mechanical complexity to be any amount of fun.

How do you use the phrase "NM train" and not cringe immediately? Nothing is fun about autofollowing for hours and occasionally tagging a mob for EXP. It feels like the game is deliberately wasting my time.

I would do Baldesion Arsenal if I didn't have to do Eureka to unlock it. I'm like level 11 in Anemos. Eureka is the boring, asshatted content this game has released and I want no part of it.

In your capital's town square, if you open up the map you should be able to see there locations. Only Amiri hangs out in the tavern, I think. If they're not in your town square, they might be at Oleg's Trading Post. I think if you don't ask them to join you, they wind up there.

I'd be down if we weren't on different data centers...

I don't know if it's a spoiler. Considering the narrator, it could be a lie.

Enlarge Person is okay. Legendary Proportions, on the other hand, is probably the second largest DPS increase buff in the game (behind Haste).

Got my just desserts for talking smack about the dungeon difficulty. Made it to floor 30 and ran into one of the lost heroes.

Enemy variety seems pretty good but I wish that skills played a bigger role and that there were multiple paths and more dungeon features. Something more like Nethack or Brogue (which are the peak of roguelike design).

So far the roguelike dungeon is sort of underwhelming. I'm playing on Challenging difficulty so that might be too low, but I'm at Floor 12 (character level 8) and have been able to breeze through it all without many issues. My party so far is a Two-Weapon Fighter, a Crossbow Rogue, a Smilodon...

That 3rd DLC sounds awesome. Hopefully there's plenty of variety in the endless dungeon. Never heard of Swordlords, though. Apparently it's some sort of prestige class? Would've preferred them to add Witch and Oracle first.

Spreadable TBN was like the main thing I wanted for DRK, I hope that's real. NIN stuff seems cool, but what I really wanted to see was the removal of TCJ, or allowing you to move while using it, it just doesn't fit the class at all right now.

It's not that bad on NIN. If you clip a bit into your Ninjitsu, whatever. You're only doing Ninjitsu once every 20s. For the rest of the time, enjoy that skill speed. Also I forgot that the SCH SS buff exists, so it wouldn't be that interesting after all lol.

AoE SS buff might be kind of cool, that's something we haven't really seen outside of AST AoE Arrow.

I really don't like savescumming on a first playthrough because I feel like it cheapens the experience. Some stuff is unfair and can come out at you from left field (Chaotic players know exactly what I'm talking about) but otherwise the game is really cool when you accept the consequences of...

That doesn't prevent them from connecting it to Sword/Shield though.

I think the hardest thing for Pathfinder newbies is separating bad feats from good feats. For STR melee, always get Power Attack and Cornugon Smash. (If their CHA is low, get Intimidating Prowess too.) DEX melee, obviously you need Weapon Finesse, but if you're using a 1H weapon get Weapon Focus...

Harrim isn't bad, his domain spells are just mostly garbage. With a high enough WIS modifier, the ring that gives extra channel energy uses, and maybe taking the Extra Channel feat 1-2 times, he can become a great healer. (And his ability to fight in melee means you can give him Outflank.)

There is no penalty for attacking at a close range with a ranged weapon in Pathfinder. There is a -4 penalty for using a ranged weapon to attack an opponent engaged in melee, but Precise Shot removes that penalty, which is why it's so important (for both archers AND arcane casters, there are...

Precise Shot works from any range. PBS only gives you a +1 to hit if you are 30 feet away or closer, but it's never been an issue for me because I generally keep my formations pretty tight for casting buffs/heals during combat or addressing flankers.

The film is extremely faithful to the source material, even going as far as to expand on some concepts that were never fully-fleshed out in the game and maybe set things up for future games.

A composite bow isn't going to matter for a Rogue until way later in the game when you're swimming in Strength enhancement bonuses from magical gear, and even then, you'll only get a +1 or +2 to damage (assuming an ability score of 7 STR base and a +6 or +8 STR belt).

Get the Varnhold's Lot DLC right away and play it before the main campaign. It serves as a nice little preview of the game's events without any major spoilers and will allow you to try out a build around the middle levels before you commit to it for your main campaign. Depending on what you do...

The movie is solid. Of course, Ryan Reynold's performance is responsible for probably 75% of that, but Justice Smith plays off him really well too, it's sort of a classic straight man/goofy man pair which is never tiresome when done well (and I think it is in this movie). Great movie to take...

All of those things came way after when they swung too wide and missed everyone (aka update 1.0); ArcheAge was dead long before equalized vehicle speeds and P2W.

We need to take the "massive" out of MMORPG. We need to build games and worlds to a more modest scale. Instead of trying to catch everybody and their sister with catch-all gameplay elements, focus on elements that will appeal to the niche of gamers that like to play one game for long periods of...

The description for Gilgamesh is revolting. It hasn't been the raid server since 2.5, before the massive influx of server trannies. Yeah the clear rates here are still pretty good but the majority of the server are bads pretending they're good at the game.

I wouldn't be disappointed if those leaks turned out to be true, though.

Tell us the hookers and blow stories!

"OT" in XIV just means tanky DPS, and sometimes you eat a tank buster. It's very rare that the OT actually needs to tank something.

Oh right, I forgot about ultimate.
