They're certainly making enough money somehow to keep paying better artists, better content designers, and better story writers than WoW has had since... well, ever. And they put all that stuff out at a clip that absolutely embarrasses WoW. I balk at the multi-million player notes, but it...

DDOS attack = 1m+ people trying to load into their instance server constantly for dozens of hours. I mean, pretty sure tons of people were AHKing the Cold Steel quest, and those access requests probably smashed the server. I remember a similar claim made by Blizzard during WoD's release, but...

Nope. Just a sidequest leveling thing.

Eromanga Sensei really looked like it had hit its final episode and was doing a sendoff. Next episode will probably be some silly fan-service. It has had its moments, but it really is just a low-key rom-com light novel with occasional "shock" moments, like the previous screencap of the class...

Crafting is effectively its own sort of thing, combined with gathering. For the most part, normal play and endgame tome collection will get you plenty geared out and crafting won't really matter. Your very first character through might benefit from picking up some crafted gear from the AH or...

Apparently, Balmung and Gilg went down (not sure, that's the rumor) and that had an open window for everyone else on the data center to finish the two AIDs quests. Huge rush of people, myself included, were able to complete it relatively easily. The fix appears to be putting those two on their...

This reminds me of Warlords of Draenor release, when literally millions of people were in the instance to erect the Garrison on the last step and Blizz thought it was a great idea to make that single instanced entryway the only way to move the story forward and actually start the WoD shit...

Well, fates and MSQ instances are also down on Sargatanas, but it isn't terrible yet hah.

NA servers are apparently up, and I'm currently in queue for a non-Gilg/Balmung server. Wtf.

Standard nerfs to leves/collectibles 60 and below engaged; glad I spent 0 time trying to pre-game in light of how it changed with HW. The nerf to moogle quests was also expected! Full notes are a lot, with a lot of good stuff in there. Can't wait to get in game~

A few of those hours are tedious, to be sure. Especially in the lull during the MSQ after 50 but before HW in places. But the rest is decent-good with the last bit of the 50 MSQ being amazing and all of HW/Post 60 MSQ is great-amazing. I don't think I could get into a game 1-2 expansions in...

I've 100% given up on getting 260+ gear; the zones are going to be designed around 230~ and progression will follow that path. It just means I don't have extra shit in the bank when I hit 64, really. The gear I get will be the gear I equip. I came back a couple of weeks ago but I have focused...

I'm just hoping that they took note of HW release and the slow decline of quests till you run out before hitting cap. This is mitigated by doing the roulettes over the course of multiple days, but there really should be enough "raw" xp between required dungeons and quests+sidequests to hit 70...

Warriors attacked the rim all night; Cavs went 3 happy. Not what I would have envisioned at the start of the season!

Yeah, in retrospect I was ascribing a bit more douchiness than was intended to the critique, and I had a couple of rum and cokes in me at the time. If it's an accurate description, then hey, it's accurate. It's just the type of phrasing that rustles my jimmies, very much akin to my referenced...

Hey you may not have gone to art school, but that doesn't make the statement any less art-school faggy. It would be identical to my going "this culinary creation is amazing, if you have culinary training and understand the nuances of it. People who eat food may not like it, though." Comes off...

This reads like "Art school faggots will love this. People who actually enjoy watching movies will not." I mean I could be wrong, but that is exactly how that is interpreted by non-art school kids. Don't get me wrong, it might be a really enjoyable movie. But those are major warning signs to...

I suppose, but giving people access to all abilities such as Enochian and Fire IV seem to defeat that purpose anyway hah. If it's just to keep WHMs and scholars from soloing dungeons, then hey fine. Just weird to put in one mechanic and then effectively "trump" it with another in all ways...

Oh no, I get that, but they definitely mentioned spells auto-scaling so that Stone 4 would be Stone 1 when used in a low level dungeon, etc. If you can use any ability, then that doesn't make any sense for them to auto-scale the spell back, unless it was a bunch of mistranslation from the first...

That carbonized matter one is a no-brainer, as the carbonized matter has never been the holdup on melding. The VIs being one per is nice as well. The being able to use any ability at any sync'd level is really nice, but kind of defeats the purpose of auto-syncing some of the spells, like...

Incoming TeckNoe posts.

This man is correct. And yes I assumed his gender. At original re-release, getting into the game was basically a crapshoot (at least on Gilg) because it would queue you and then randomly drop you back several hundred places in the queue, if not outright kicking you from it. It was determined...

Legit, I'm casual enough where I don't need a hardcore static or anything, so the actual size of the server isn't a major issue for me. But those auto-hotkey login shenanigans or the 2hour queue times are for the birds hah

I was on Gilgamesh but the last expansion login shenanigans and friends scared me off to Sargatanas. That and there was like... 4 people? In the LS/FC at like absolute most back during HW release it seemed. It was like, Krip, Alkorin, J Mandar and I forget the other guy who was on regularly...

I have a tank/healer/dps at 60 and kitted out with 230+ gear, so I'm ready to f around in stormblood. My crafters/gatherers are in almost BIS (Melds the primary holdup) and the rest of my classes are at least mid 40s if not mid 50s. I just don't feel like grinding more than I -need- to at the...

Palace of the Dead grinding, by far, especially as DPS. You'll still have to do the MSQ if you haven't already, but it's a very quick grind overall comparatively unless you queue as a healer/tank for all the roulettes that give good xp and clear the dungeons fast. Or if you don't mind waiting...

Literally anything if you aren't planning on doing bleeding edge raids etc. For shortest queue times on dungeons/trials/etc, play a healer or tank. So warrior, paladin, dark knight, astrologian, white mage, or scholar. Bonus points on scholar for also leveling summoner so you can dps if you...

I mean, he has in no way been impressive in his last few fights, but they are so paper thin at heavyweight that is silly for them to let -any- talent go, unless they bring in new, exciting blood immediately.

Sylas, all of your "proof" relies on what we've seen and read. Except that we haven't seen or read about the dragons killing white walkers or the NK. So there is exactly as much evidence on both sides of the argument to say if the dragons are going to lolrape or the white walkers/NK are going...

My memory of when Coil 4 dropped is super hazy (positive there's a website that details that shit though!) but you have a bit of a slog through the MSQ at 50 ahead of you before HW opens up. The good news is that you are probably geared enough to just complete all that crap without having to...

My mindset on the content skips and story gates etc is that the content is all new to the player (since they haven't beaten it in the first place) and thus skipping it is skipping actually viable content for them and their character. It isn't like they are going to release *better* level 60...

If anything, the fact that we keep seeing new things from the NK means anything he "pulls out his ass" is most definitely not DEM. It has been thoroughly shown within the show that every time he's on screen, he's doing something new. Him -not- having other shit up his sleeve would be the real...

The hard drives realized the only way to win the game was not to play.

Similar mannerisms, different topics of interest. Wooly was all about Star Wars, Sylas is a draconic tactics expert.

Pretty sure it was the 64bit version of Firefox, but it lost support somewhere in development. Like it still works probably, but it hasn't been updated since it was shuttered.

I enjoyed 2, but the first was definitely better. Still, both games were pretty fun to play through and I liked the tonal shift towards the end of the first game hah. The entire fall from grace aspect was pretty cool, imo. But different strokes for different folks, and all that. The only...

Those Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games were pretty baller, in a modernized platformer/God of War kind of way. That would make a pretty good animated series all on its own.

Seemed like it when I saw them. Incredibly easy method of capping red crafter scrips each week and 600+ blue scrips attached only makes it better. I spend 15 minutes making a few things and I'm like 100 scrips away for the week if it isn't the "last" offering. Been selling the 1 V a week from...
