Yeah, first time I pugged that boss the 2 dps could NOT understand get close and back away and kept screwing up. Next time I was there we had a dps drop right as we got to the boss so we did it with 3 competent (pug) players. Was fucking trivial, I think the lowest anyone got was like 85%.

So, if someone were to run AK 10 times and then chill and raid some, AK some, and not worry about beating turn 4/5 ASAP this wouldn't be as huge of a problem? Maybe I'll be regretting saying this in a few weeks but right now this seems like a problem that impacts the vocal minority who want...

Everyone should rip off Eve's plex system. It is a great way to keep people consuming subscription resources who are in game money rich but would not stay subbed if it took IRL cash. I have hardly played in the last year but I've kept multiple accounts subscribed because it is essentially free...

Heroic seems too gimmicky for me, but some other interesting things going on. WotC R&D seems determined to get black some love. Tough to evaluate before any decks are made, but that whip seems pretty insane.

Things that FFXIV has done well: 1) Crafting. You need gear for crafting. It it more involved than the WoW 1-click method with some various interactions and luck and just overall a hell of a step up. It is basically what EQ2 wanted to be but failed at miserably. 2) Built to be playable on...

I dunno, FC still running like 70 online even with the AFK kick and activity still seems really high. I can see the people who were wanting to dump 40+ hours a week into this game getting bored, but it looks to have 90 days worth of entertainment for me and outside of Eve, I think that'll be a...

The marketing is fucking top notch. Hopefully the game catches up to their marketing a bit. While I don't enjoy it in its current state at all, they still have a while to turn things around.

PS3? I know on PC the only problem I've had is a slight delay on enemies popping up with 100+ players on screen, but even that wasn't horrible.

What is the over/under on how many pages this thread will have before any actual info is released?

I am really enjoying FFXIV, but combat mechanics are not their strong suit. RvR seems like a questionable thing to look forward to in a game series that has historically been awful at combat and while better in TESO is certainly not stellar. It is also hard to imagine them making reward and...

overcrowded zones for fates blow, but not sure that this was an obvious mistake. With not much time to redo the game and a lot of fucking problems, not sure it makes sense to add a lot of complexity in order to solve a problem that will go away in a few weeks.

Many who have actually played it were very unimpressed, myself included. They are doing a great job of marketing, but actually playing the game isn't really fun at all. Combat is mildly entertaining for 5-30 minutes until the double tap to dodge is no longer new. The quests are your usual...

I think there is also a general case of those having fun w/o problems are quiet here because they are playing the game, while the ones having issues are more vocal. Other than a 10 minute period of 3102 yesterday, the game has been running great for me and there were over 100 online in the FC...

12 days in I'm still playing and having fun. Lots of great things about the game. Not sure how fun max lvl will be, but the path to getting there is a great ride.

Not exactly brief, it was open for new characters several hours after maintenance ended.

If you get 3102, just walk away for an hour. spamming login trying to get back isn't going to make it fix itself any faster

Lots of people playing with no issues. 60 online in FC on Gilgamesh at the moment on a weekday which seems pretty healthy.

I patched at 3MB/sec, which is the cap for my POS ISP. Game has been great since getting back in. Will see what happens throughout the day, but while there are still some issues this seems to have helped significantly.

okay, took longer than a few moments but the 3102 did resolve after 10 minutes or so.

Hrmm, logged off to try to make a Gilgamesh alt and now stuck with 3102. Bah humbug.

FFXIV, Solforge, Infinity Wars. Wish I'd played the last of us instead of watching movies on youtube, game was superb. Played Path of Exile a lot earlier in the year and was super impressed. Very fun game and FAR better than D3.

Yeah, I logged off over the weekend with Pax since I wasn't going to play FFXIV until tonight and assumed I could just log back on this morning. Oops. Other things to do so not a huge deal, but definitely a bit of a surprise :P edit> apparently maintenance starts around when I'd get home...

Went into Pax barely even knowing Dragon Age Inquisition existed. Came out of it with this being the #1 game I'm excited about for next year. It looks and sounds fucking incredible. Devs were fun, footage was awesome, in general just fucking pumped for this game. They were very open about the...

Hrmm, actually played it for a while (yay for beating the worst of the line when expo hall opened). Combat is a lot more fun than it looked like watching from the outside. You have cool abilities that you unlock for your race or wpn or some other categories. There was a scorpion style "come...

The Wildstar thread is full of people saying it isn't that great and instead of waiting until Wednesday to play FFXIV you want to wait until Wildstar releases? mmkay. Having played both, FFXIV doesn't bring a lot to the table but it is still a hell of a lot more fun than Wildstar which gets...

Not sure if I can explain why, but the PS4 controller felt fucking incredible. For whatever reason it felt perfect and exactly how a controller should feel. Well, the touchpad was gimmicky but that's out of the way a bit so it doesn't matter. The games playable at Pax, however, didn't seem...

Wildstar combat feels very gimmicky and meh at the moment whereas wow combat felt pretty darn smooth imo.

The line for this was insane at Pax. They were capping it at 2 hours and people had to come back at the right time to be able to join at the 2 hour mark. Will try it myself on Monday when the line is less insane, but watching people play for a while the game looked exactly like what you'd...

Be interesting to see how this does. Playing it at Pax, I wasn't very impressed with the game. It seems like they made a gigantic list of "cool things" they wanted to have and that sounded good. However, actually playing the game it just doesn't seem all that fun. Quests are pretty wretched but...

Huh? From 60? It is being reprinted at rare not mythic. Ebay has already plummeted from 60 to 30 ea and ~20 is likely 2-3 months after release. Multiple formats doesn't hold up when it will be a rare in a set that will be opened 923840932842 times.

Chatted with one of the main guys (PM I think?) at Pax. Main things of note is that they are super aware that they need: 1) Match making, so that people who are just starting are matched against others. This is the asap goal. 2) Ways to trade cards amongst players 3) Leaderboards 4)...

Thoughtseize is back. YayGlad I held out on getting my playset.

Not sure if anyone cared, but the FFXIV event at Pax was basically a large area with a ton of computers set up. An hour of developer comments that I missed, and then people could sign stuff and there were 8 computers for people to try out character creation and like 40 for people to do the boss...

Went through the video and then playable (multiplayer) demo of this at Pax. Game seemed pretty cool, they were going all in w/ the naval battles. Go swim underwater, naval battles and then pimping out your ship, and also harpooning stuff and leveling that up so you can harpoon bigger and bigger...

Got to see some a gameplay demo of this at Pax, as they were showing off the gene modified soldiers and mech assault guy. Seems pretty cool. Mech assault troop had to be next to something for the kinetic attack but if it was, did ridiculous damage. He could aslo expend ammo to blow away cover...

Yeah. Admittedly, I'm PST so different perspective but leveling up alt classes the n00b zones are WAY emptier than they were. It is the 20-35 stuff that is pretty packed now.

I did last year, not sure that I will this year. It ate up a lot of time to essentially do the same thing as playing at CK for a 4 hour event with better prizes and much higher entry cost.

Yeah, Nek/Uterra is what I'm ~60-2 with now. Not sure I believe the "best cards" win thing. There is a baseline you need to have, but there are a lot of really terrible deck builders/players.

I'm roughly 20 hours of playtime in and definitely see myself spending another 40-60+ over the next 3 months (time to play video games drops a lot now) with a decent chance I'll hit 6 months before getting bored and moving on. Not sure if I'll make it past the 90 day period, but that's better...
