    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I feel like one thing that they did that was really smart was making gear for crafting relevant. It lets you tap the gear treadmill 3 times instead of just once which I find myself liking a lot. Nothing majorly awesome, but a lot of things done right: 1) Nice graphics 2) Autoloot rocks...

    If it works like yesterday, they'll let people in in waves. So if someone who is online comes here and kindly mentions when a large wave of people were let in and you weren't one of them, you probably want to go do something else for an hour and then come back and spam later. Also, unless...

    I haven't seen any of this "servers melting in n00b zones" stuff at all. With the exception of the duty server which has created the queues, performance has been superb. 100 people stacked on each other for the same fate? No big deal. 500+ chilling in the city? Again, no big deal. Instance...

    Undead can play echowisp as well. Mono race decks are pretty terribly unless you have a ton of the good cards.

    That jives with what I've seen trying to get in today, and also makes some sense from a networking perspective.

    Infinity Wars

    This game is pretty fun. Not as smooth as hearthstone and such, but a more tactical feel to it. If you want into the closed beta, make an account on the infinity wars website here:http://us.infinitywarsgame.com/and then shoot me a PM with your infinity wars account name.

    I wonder what the % of people playing who were backers vs nonbackers looks like. I'm roughly 40 and 2 as a $25 backer. I feel like I see some playing mistakes but a ton of deckbuilding mistakes. Shardplate Delver for example is a pretty awesome card that I've seen almost no one rolling Uterra...

    Gilg isn't fucked, game experience has been great on the server. Unfortunately, those who slept through last weekend and didn't make a character probably aren't going to be able to get on for a bit. Make a character elsewhere and transfer in a few weeks if it matters.

    Yeah. I've been through enough MMO launches to have a set of backup plans. Servers down to fix the instance bug? Take the opportunity to make breakfast for the gf and build up some faction there. Down again now? Fetch lunch and will probably go on a walk in a bit. Also got daily wins done in...

    Those online seem to be doing their usual stuff just fine. If it works like this morning, there maintenance will follow in like 20 minutes. I think they bring down the login servers first.

    I tried making a Gilg alt and it said the server was already full, along with like 15 others. There is also currently a very small logon queue which took like 20 seconds to get through.

    People who got into Gilg last weekend should have no problem... going to be rough on those who are playing for the first time now though. Regarding dungeons: the early ones are pretty faceroll, but it gets better.

    Enjoying this a lot more than I expected. The strategy isn't really deep, but it is surprisingly fun. Glad I kickstarted it for $25, and at like 7 hours played it has already been well worth it.

    I guess being lazy about doing the preorder code thing worked out, since I got in without a hitch. The whole process from start to "You are registered, here is the download button" was like 20 seconds.

    Popped a character on Gilg while it was open. Fine with either server - Gilg having players a month from now is definitely an upside though.

    Heh, they are apparently taking the "20" in FTV 20 a bit literally with how many packs each store (or at least ours) is getting. 20 FTV 20's to distribute from my main gaming store. They are giving them out in various ways, 8 to buy at MSRP via raffle at FNM, 8 as prizes in a sealed tourney...

    Doesn't seem that bad, you don't really want your new players getting frustrated and quitting at lvl 15 because they suck too bad to do their class quest. Regular players can still feel a bit challenged and bads can make it through eventually... better than a brick wall for your new players.

    Game appears to have gone open beta today and you can actually start to play it as a TCG. Supporters got their packs, and you can buy more. Or, you will be able to open/buy packs once their servers catch up. The cloud, how does it work? Even their webpage seems to be having problems.

    Yes... Why exactly would they lie? "We ran out, but we contacted WotC and more are on their way. Should be here in a week or two" 2 weeks later "We've got more" What exactly is the motivation for lying about this?

    TCG Mid is a pretty good baseline for trading, but pretty terrible for buying. Between various forums and ebay, you can get almost all cards at TCG Low or lower.

    Still have my copy of Shadowrun 2nd Edition, even though I haven't played it in years. I'm a sucker for anything based in Seattle, so easy buy for me. It doesn't look like the game studio is having an open to the public launch party tho, which is a bummer

    Only banned in modern, and an FTV reprint doesn't affect standard. Jace is legal in legacy and vintage. Admittedly, Wizards is doing their best to kill of legacy so whatevah but there will be plenty of demand for an FTV jace.
