    I have 9 retainers, so I don't have an issue with what combo to use. :) That said, I personally prefer adventuring ones to gatherers as I find it's easier to go gather something I need than it is to go out and kill a specific mob for a drop like skins for leather. That just a personal...

    I have all crafters and gatherers at 80 except Culinarin(hopefully this weekend) and I still go out and gather everything I need all the time for the same reason you...I enjoy it, and it's relaxing and a nice change of pace sometimes. I generally try to vary my activities in the game as much as...

    Well took me about 2 hours but I managed to buy all the Master 7 books. Crafting just got hard after having it easy so far, expensive too. Mats aren't cheap. Going to wait tomorrow to see what I'm going to do. :)

    Mei being played in OWL is probably my favorite thing about the new changes. She's my favorite character in the game. I think she is full to watch too, lots of skillshot with her right click, and seeing a good wall to stop halt/hook combo, or to split someone from their team is great play. I've...

    Originally you also weren’t just 1 class till 30 and then become something else. There were requirements you needed 1 job to 30 and 1 other to 15, so to become a Warrior you needed Marauder to 30 and Gladiator to 15, so there was more work to getting your final job.

    RIP Rutger Hauer

    One of my favorite monologue of all time. I saw Blade Runner when I was 13 or so in the theater and loved it. That line at the end just sparked my imagination, hinting at so much more. R.I.P.

    Overwatch

    I went on the PTR to try Sigma a little, didn't really do it. Queues are horrible as a tank, upwards to 10 minutes. I'm not that patient. I did play in No Limits but that was horrible way to test a barrier tank with barriers everywhere. So I settled on QP and queuing as a healer, first queues...

    I just realized, we're already seeing a benefit of 2-2-2. They would never have introduced a 3rd barrier tank without 2-2-2.

    Overwatch

    He looks pretty fun. They said he's going to be a main tank. 1500 barrier, and an absorb ability that boost his personal shield, so it looks like he will be pretty tanky. Jeff mentioned he is a high skill tank. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a real game, no limit is no indication of...

    I think how you view the MSQ gating is highly dependent on what your goals are. If your priority is to get to the end game and current content as fast as possible, the MSQ gating is pretty awful I'll admit. On the other hand, if you're just playing the game and getting to the end game isn't...

    This weekend, I made 79 as a Red Mage, and just made it to the last zone. Still enjoying the story a lot. I like most dungeons so far too. On the crafting side of things, I went from 71 to 80 on Leatherworker, and got all white scrip pieces. I also went from 72 to 78 on the Blacksmith. Since...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think they still can do him well, albeit a bit differently. Here's an outline of what they could do, not going into any sort of details cuz I'm not a writer. :) Do something similar to what Captain Marvel did with the Skrulls. Introduce him clearly as the villain which wouldn't be hard...

    Poor Brigitte, she got hit hard, survivability has been gutted hard but her healing made better, I guess she needed to fit into the support role. I love the Moira being able to Fade when stunned change.

    I agree that OWL shouldn't have big changes like this in mid-season, but with viewership dropping like it did, I don't think they had a choice. I think for OWL, long term it will be a good thing. Teams will know exactly how to build their roster, not running into situation like NYXl benching 2...

    So last night was gathering/crafting to level Goldsmith and Alchemist to 80, tonight was gathering/crafting to gear them up. I managed to get both of them in full white scrip gear. Since goldsmith is 80, I also crafted al accessories. So aside from belt and some offhand, my carpenter, weaver...

    You're in what is BY FAR the worst section of the game. There's some interesting stories being told though, and stuff that will pay off much later. It's just how it's structure that make it difficult to go through. Still if you're enjoying the game overall, it's worth playing through, as you...

    I knew I had gathered a lot, but I just got an achievement for mining 5000 items in Shadowbringers. :) I got the Goldsmith to 80, and the Alchemist went from 72 to 80 tonight too. I still have 47 leves too. Blacksmith and Leatherworker next, both are 71.

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    I saw this last night and enjoyed it. The lack of a satisfying ending kinda sucked, especially since it doesn't look like we'll get a sequel where it would be resolved. I thought the movie looked great, and the action was pretty spectacular. I think for an "origin" movie, it did pretty well...

    Treasure Maps are found when gathering on 40+ nodes I believe. You can get 1 a day, and can only hold 1 of each type.

    @wormie and @Utnayan, don't skip the +blue quest as they unlock stuff, dungeons, or other game features. So stick to MSQ and the +blue quest and you should be good.

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    Just came back from seeing this. Mid to low tier for me. The movie had horrible pacing. Especially in the first half, way too much school stuff that didn’t serve any purpose. I hated both teachers, not even fun as comic relief. Mysterio was great, I enjoyed his arc. Spider-Man vs drones dragged...

This was the second time I tried her, last time didn't go well. :) It was kind of interesting, we failed twice before the 2 tanks and 2 healers left saying DPS sucked and we wouldn't be able to do it. Then 2 more tanks and healers and we did it super easily. I don't...

    Well tonight, I got the Botanist to 80 and had enough white scrips to get the hat, tunic, pants and shoes...only missing gloves and the main hand. Should get that tomorrow or Saturday. Now to level fishing. :)
