    As long as you are in the Chaos DC, you'll get matched up with the shitty french though, since DF is DC wide. That's why I was suggesting maybe switching to Light. I'm one of the few french of Lich and things are good over here. I almost never encounter a non english speaking french in there.

    I gather you chose the Chaos DC? It's the DC with Moogle, which is the main french shitty server. Light DC is better. More germans, but at least germans speak english. Most french can't speak english for shit. I'd probably look into switching while it's early if I were you.

    Caved in and ordered a 5800x to replace my old Ryzen 2600, as well as a 1TB NVME ssd to replace my current PCIE 2.0 256GB SSD. Will have to sit on my current 2080 for a while though until this GPU madness dies down.

    Except now you always have an Aetheryte nearby most of the time? Though if you're up to Shb and still not liking the story delivery, it's probably just not your thing.

    Yeah, that's my point. It was annoying, but it's nowhere near the huge issue people are making about it. What's the point of sperging over something most of us went through like 8 years ago?

    I fail to see how a regular 2 minute run extends time played that much. Even more so since they don't give a shit about time played metrics. Was it annoying that you couldn't TP there back then? Yes. The point is completely moot though since the HQ was moved in Mor Dhona afterward. You didn't...

    People who enjoy lore and world building in an heavily story focused JRPG. Surprising I know.

    They give you tickets teleporting you there during the msq nowadays anyway.

    Lore wise the reason is that back then the Scions were not in the best of term with the Syndicate (the real power behind Ul'dah's), the Syndicate decided not to fund the installation of an Aetheryte in Vesper Bay.

    Yeah, I don't get it. If you want to bang your head chain running Alex/Omega raids, be my guest I guess. Meanwhile, you can just do Zadnor and farm everything at the same time. It's like 30 skirmishes and 15 CEs in each Zadnor subzone and you are done.

    Were you not aware of the alternatives? I have not set foot in any alliance raid specifically for the relic. The step were you can get memories from CT? Get them from Castrum instead, 5 a run, just need to catch 3 Castrums. I just finished the 18 / 18 memories step. Didn't set foot in a HW/SB...

    Moved away from Gilgamesh ages ago, especially since they opened the EU DC. So I'm on Lich on the Light DC. DC travel coming soon anyway.

    Yeah I take a look at PF from time to time, no luck so far. Wished they also dropped in Zadnor even at a lower rate.

    Depends on which floors you do. Most "regular" floors used for leveling have shit drop rate : Floors 1-60, ~10-20% Floors 61-100 ~30% Floors 101-150, ~80% Floors 151-200, 100%

    Good to know. I'm at 14/15 loathsome memories. Helped my brother get through CT raids last night so that was 3. Did alliance roulette (Syrcus) and 2 Castrum today and i'm almost done. Will just need run alliance roulette tomorrow and be done with that. Then it's off to doing boring Fates I guess.

    Also, I remembered that Castrum now gives 5 of those memories you usually get from Crystal Tower. So it might me faster to try and catch Castrum when it's up.

    Old trials and raids are always interesting to do to see cool fights. Relic are purely optional grinds that you do for the look of the weapons. And calling them grinds can be an understatement.

    Went in as a tank, I was probably the only one and rather low mettle level and non optimized Lost Actions, a SAM ended up tanking the whole run.

    I'm catching up and I'm at the 15 Crystal Towers step. I already dread the 18 HW and 18 SB raids afterward. I think i'd rather do DR. Did DR for the first time yesterday and it was rather painless.

    Getting to that second boss in Holminster Switch hits hard too, especially if you're running it in a Trust with Alisae.

    I wish we kept Yda instead of getting boring Lyse who somehow got promoted leader just because her father was. Fuck yeah nepotism.

    From a recent interview, after talking about the fun the devs had playing into certain memes during FanFest (like the Twinnings theme choreography). I think that sums it up pretty well, and is in stark contrat with the current WoW devs philosophy.

    Yeah, most of the time what fixed it was just pulling out the cartridge and putting it back. Blowing on it was mostly placebo. And even with no spit, your breah still has some humidity in there, so it could definitely cause corrosion in the long run.

    Flashback from ShB release. I wanted to main GNB, so the first day, with a friend leveling DNC, we stayed like 11 hours doing HoH to 70. I shudder thinking about some pugs we got in there. Well at least it was mostly dancers, so shit got AOEd to hell.

    Yeah, as soon as he said that it was either hypocrisy or stockholm syndrome. He is one of the few people that could actually have a big impact if he ever switched games. As it stands, as long as he continues feeding WoW content to his audience, why would Blizzard even care?

    The translator for this part was Michael Koji Fox, member of the localization team and band member of the Primals with Soken, so you can guess they are pretty close.

    I didn't do much Bozja, but I found Eureka to be more social that Bozja. The zone chat was often hilarious and leading a NM train was fun. I felt like nobody talked in Bozja. Just show up for the Fate/Encounter, and disband.

    Last patch MSQ has always been divided between .5 and .55 though, that's not a new or unusual thing.

    It's kinda what they always do though. This time we're going to have a long stretch between last patch and the expansion though since it'll only release this Fall.
