    Transferred to Ravana. No idea if it's really going to work since it said it would take minutes or hours depending on load, and the world transfer service appears to have gone down again. I wonder if my character is lost in the void now.

    As a tank you can get away with a lot of fuckups and still have a clear. In the first few weeks when I was really concentrating I was pretty flawless on mechs (once I learned them). This week though my P1S and P2S clears this week were a comedy of errors, like spacing out and forgetting to stand...

    Yeah I've had a few tank swaps on zodiark where I would taunt, and the other tank (usually a WAR, thanks to their insane aggro) would pull aggro back 5 seconds later and die because they still have the debuff on.

    I only use macros for crafting. I tried them for combat, such as target 2, shirk, but it's too unreliable. I'd have to button mash the macro to make sure it went through. Found it easier to just F2 shirk. Even for stuff like announcing when you use superbolide, I had to put a delay in the macro...

    Are trains just for fun/diversity of logistics? When I played last year I never got one operational because when I started building my first one I realised that they take up too much space, and then I also realised that its easier and faster to just use stacked conveyors.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Maybe it's just not for you. FF7R is one of the best games of the last few years IMO, I am so happy and surprised how well it turned out and am looking forward to the next one.

    This is my first time doing savages but it does look that way already. First week there were usually dozens of practice groups for 1S and 2S but now there's not many, most people are running duty completed groups or on 3S 4S already. You can just craft 580 or buy 580 crafted if ilvl is holding...

    Ahh you haven't yet reached the phase where you realise building on the ground blows, and instead build everything on raised platforms. That's when you really start having inventory issues when building a new factory requires 2 whole inventories worth of concrete.

    For anyone who's cleared P3S, what strat did you use for darkened fire? The few practice groups I've joined use set positions ignoring the numbers. It's easier to do but it means you don't know which fire will be attackable first and everyone takes way more damage from being hit by 2 fireballs...

    This is the situation I'm in at the moment. Got P1S down on the 2nd night, still can't get a P2S clear. I've never actually seen enrage even though I've been in groups that could consistently get to the 2nd disassociation. Main problem in the best (mechanics wise anyway) groups I've been in was...

    Anyone played this in the last year or so. Last time I played was just before the liquids update that was supposed to add mk2 pipes. Wondering if there is much more content that has been added. See talk of drones which I assume are new since I don't remember them. All of my logistics was...

    Never played it, too ugly. I'd probably enjoy it and have thought of trying it out but I always decide to just play more ONI instead.

    This xpac is the first time I've done raid content when it was current since ARR too. Having a lot of fun.. farmed all the stuff i need from both ex trials.. Cleared P1S yesterday, will start trying on P2S tonight probably. Doing everything using PF, I don't have many regular groupmates. The...

    Yeah I found that once you are used to the mechanics the game gets too easy. DLC actually made the start of the game easier than before I think, but late game definitely gets harder. It's an improvement though as the old space/rocket/meteor pre DLC part of the game kind of sucked. Solving...

    Bit late to this party since I have never played lol and am not terribly fond of animations but due to the very positive word of mouth I checked this out yesterday. Then binged the whole season. Holy shit it is great! What wonderful TV.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    You'd think they would have tested it. Then again, I've lost count of the number of times I've said that. Reality never fails to disappoint. My life has become a single ongoing revelation that I haven't been cynical enough.

    I think they've said the show is based on the books so they may not use Letho but you never know. I assume the next season will have more people trying to get Ciri for their own ends, the Thanedd coup, potentially the next Nilfgaard invasion

    The source material purist problem certainly exacerbates it, but there's a lot of people out there who are miserable cunts who just can't enjoy anything in life. This board has a higher than normal concentration of them.

    Buddy of mine has been running trust dungeons each day, handing all the drops in for seals to buy these boxes for the last couple of weeks. He sends me all the dupe stuff he gets which has been at least a dozen minions so far. He's seeking mounts, I don't think he's had much luck there but he's...

    I enjoyed doing castrum and delubrum as they are fun raids and you don't have to do it all that many times. It's actually easier to do them with small groups as the less people there are the stronger each player is. With 10 or less people castrum is trivial as you take no damage from anything...

    Anime weapon is mostly just poetics so you can work on it on the side while doing other things. Resistance weapon has some large grinds required to unlock but once you do one weapon it's pretty fast to complete it for other jobs. I'm not really familiar with the zodiac or eureka weapon...

Even soloed the first trial boss for around 1.5 minutes just...

    D3 at launch was a clusterfuck of balance problems, RMAH, actively discouraged grouping, brutal scaling at highest difficulty. They fixed all of that and it turned into a decent game. Still could be better since the way it's itemized is dumb as fuck but the basic gameplay itself is extremely...

    If they allowed global cross server then it would work. Japan DC half the servers are empty, even at the peak of JP prime time there's 0 queue on most servers. I've been using the above feature every day since I'm on one of the few that has huge queues (Tonberry).

    I think when you choose 'visit another world server' it just picks one with a low pop automatically, you can't choose which one to guest on.

    Yeah I'm on the Japan DC, my main server is Tonberry. It has ridiculous queues like you all are talking about in the US DC (5-8k), but most of the other Japan servers have no queue.

    Most of the Japan DC servers have no queue so I just guest on one of those. I'll return to my main server once the queue on it dies down in a weeks time or whenever.

    I'm about 7 episodes in so far. I'm enjoying it, its like a not as charming version of firefly. So much so that I thought maybe firefly was directly inspired by the original cowboy bebop. Googled if that was the case, apparently Whedon has never commented on it but there are heaps of mad firefly...
