As a tank, if there are monks in group, I'm more likely to be pulling than them in low-era expansions. Have a charm pet tanking and if things are locked down / there's no real threat to the casters on a break, I'll be out chain-pulling so the monks can continuously DPS. Park something next to...

Agreed, but I also think an ability to mousewheel in and out to third-person is important. Allows you to look around without actually turning your character, so your character can keep attacking while you check to see if any pumas are approaching. Even a lowbie group in the Freeport area can...

Lots of exploring, huh?

^ He's right about people typecasting certain classes for pulling that don't actually make sense, not in these early eras.

Seems like Fableds are really messing with Vaniki raid spawns. Pulled 7 achievement-related DZs last night and four out of seven had Fabled versions in them which made everything a huge PITA. Won't be an issue to do with an actual raid, but running around soloing/duoing these right now is kind...

Well, I don't know, but I'm really hoping the computer is okay from here on out because it having something like this happen after a relatively short time is worrisome.

Yeah, me too. Was kind of blown away that a videogame could evoke such a feeling of grim inevitability. Then the final dungeon went on for like 5 hours and kinda took the momentum out of its sails a bit. Actually the #1 peeve I have about this game is how the dungeons go on so damn long. Some...

More questions: Why are some of the achievements in yellow text? Do those work in open world or something? Why is the reward for Riftseekers completely effing pointless? They give you the exact same illusion for getting to level 60. Why is it like impossible to get any of the regular bosses...

I assume a higher-level character can't just solo the Vaniki fights for lower-level characters, everyone in the raid has to be below the level threshold? What about, say, clearing out Plane of Fear with high-level characters and then leaving and coming back with 40 characters for the Cazic...

Tried it, didn't seem to do anything. When the new UI engine is checked, though, it lets me use the "UI Scale" slider which I thought might solve my issue entirely. But all that does is make the Window Selector and Target's Target windows really big while not actually changing anything else...

What an amazing server. I'm going to have to try something like that. Unfortunately my issue with windowed mode having completely microscopic everything is preventing me from doing any boxing. Playing one character fullscreen, no problem. Having 3 up and windowed...this is pretty goddamn unplayable

Didn't the achievements only work if the mobs were done in open world, not an instance? And if so, is the hardest part just finding them up to begin with? ...or was it the opposite, they only worked in instance? I vaguely remember that being the case because OW CBQ would have been much more...

Are they still really doing that? I haven't seen anything in a bit. Though I'm not looking either. All I've seen lately have been good review scores for it and was under the impression that the people trying to shit on the game had backed down. I...I noticed this. Having played every Pokemon...

Sounds like Vaniki quietly became the "playground server" while most of us moved on. This is awesome. I'm gonna twink out and see what I can pull off. I'm guessing the damage caps are still in place under level 20, so a low-level character with a Conflagrant weapon is still only going to hit...

This is all pretty fascinating. Trying to decide if I want to drop 2 krono to sub my old box accounts and 2 more krono to get all 3 accts flagged with cheevos (my main one has half of them, others have maybe 2 or 3). Or just twink my 60 char to the moon and go level up / solo shit which would be...

New (had it about 2 months) laptop did a weird set of things over about 30 minutes yesterday. -Opened computer up, started doing things. After a few minutes internet cut out, as it often does around here regardless of computer. Went to get reconnected to the router and it said "no wireless...

Yet you're a poster here and have been for a long time. FOH has some issues but I'd rather be here than in a commie lockdown like resetera. At least here you're actually allowed to speak freely. Over there one needs to walk on eggshells (unless all of their opinions are totally within the...

There's a pervasive "I'm correct and you're scum" attitude among far-left adherents the last 7 years or so. Lot of friends of mine became more and more like this until they became too insufferable to be around anymore. It's literally a "I'm going to post this thing that will REALLY piss off the...

This is like listening to someone read out an essay about a topic, then picking out one offhand part of the speech where the guy mentioned another thing that was just a quick opinion, and demanding that the guy present evidence of the opinion on the random side-note. Not sure if kidding...

That's super nice, good to know. Not sure why I thought they were across-account. Were they account-wide at some point in the past? Or maybe my brain garbled it with personas.

IIRC achievements are account-wide, so switching characters and doing the same Vaniki achievement again won't give you a second claim AFAIK. I mean, if that worked, that would be awesome. Would have been great if they gave you like 5 of the "cool toy" /claims from Vaniki. Having a one-time-ever...

New computer, in windowed mode everything is microscopic and barely-readable... fullscreen fixes it at least but I'd like the option of windowed. Changing the resolution seems to do nothing. Never had this issue before, anyone know a fix? Well hey that's pretty cool. Had the account since...

Both IIRC. I know I did both. Progression gives all the major EXP (like 20% for a partisan cheevo and 8% for a merc cheevo during 111-115). Collections I remember being more about getting a whole bunch of AAs, though that might have been because I was capped on levels whenever I'd do those. I...

....Whether Genshin and Honkai are more sexual or less sexual than Stellar Blade is actually completely inconsequential to any of my overall points that mattered at all and not something I'm going to spend any time googling. I mentioned them because Stellar Blade isn't the only...

For the most part, people didn't beat the Vaniki fights at the appointed levels. They beat them after the fact with higher level support. King/Queen might have been done legitimately though, I think those fights are possible at 60. Everything up to Cragbeast Queen was beaten by multiple guilds...

Everything Knight Titus did reeked of ineptitude and assholery. Taunting the guy who is standing there holding his heal pack, then continuing to taunt him while he stares you down. Was a bit much. Like I can't imagine a real person behaving like that while they're desperately in need of a heal...

Between the overlong dungeons, repetitive fights and visuals, and just general dullness of it, NWN fell off for me after that. It and NWN2 are both kind of "on the bubble" for me now, as in I might scratch them off the list entirely. They're sizable time commitments, and according to HLTB I...

There were definitely a large amount of people bitching about it early on (...and apparently still, in some corners). I think they realized it was a losing fight and let it go though. For the most part now I see way more people bitching about the bitching than people actually bitching. It's a...

Frontier Mountains Giant Fort was awesome, I've got fond memories of that too. Tried doing it again a few times on TLPs, and yeah, the EXP is so bad that it's bordering on time wasted, which is unfortunate. When I was a kid it was such a cool place, with lots of room to kite if solo, but also...

Wow, that is some incredibly nitpicky bullshit. The game's dialogue is fine, pretty funny most of the time actually. There was no "did you assume its gender", what happened was they fought a big super-powerful golem and the hero kept calling it "he" and the main girl was like "how do you know...

Got no issue with his blackness. I just really don't know WTF I'm supposed to glean from his performance. Lucy is happy-go-lucky good-hearted plucky face (something we need way more of in media). Goggins Ghoul is bad-ass unstoppable monster heel with unclear motivations who has seen some shit...

Don't forget the most important thing, for reasons

...........was her name Cassandra by any chance?

Yeah, ToV achievements give huge EXP boosts (and are pretty much the only way to level at 111+) but you can only get them once per character. IIRC doing all of the merc/partisan/missions on Phinny got me from 111 to half of 114 and I had to grind the rest of the way to 115. So it isn't like you...

Droga/Nurga/Dalnir/Kaesora all being hotzones would have been tremendous for giving people a bunch of leveling paths. As for Kurns, it'll be as good as usual but I expect a huge amount of people to be crowded in there.

Yeah he seemed fairly retarded to me, but I'm not sure if that's because the character was supposed to be, or the actor just didn't know what he was doing. He waffled all over the place with the performance. Was kind of charming and superhero-like in a few scenes (namely rescuing Lucy with the...

In 2-3 hours of Eiyuden I haven't seen any wokeness or The Message popping up at all. It's very much "alternate-universe Suikoden 3 in the artstyle of the PS1 games". It's slightly challenging as well, I have to actually engage with the battles and earn wins, and I hope that continues to ramp up...
