    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Doesn't it end in like an hour? Got some time to play today, leveled up a lancer. Some of the quests are pretty fun, but sometimes you just get caught in back-to-back quest cut-scenes/dialogues that drag out attempts to log off "after this quest." Also, enjoyed the ability to actually...

    Physical stores will offer you *maybe* 50% of the card's value in Store Credit, or 20-30% in actual cash.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Little 3-foot tall wench in the desert city in charge of the adventurer's guild wants to discuss manhoods with you. It's mildly creepy coming from what looks like a child.

    My god, I can actually play the game in my full monitor resolution without a black screen now. Way better than last beta phase.

    Except that's every other CCG on the market already. Tap, Rotate, Exhaust, Bow, Spend, Stun, Kneel, Use, etc. All Wizards has the rights to is the naming, essentially. As long as you find some other magical make-em-up name for the same mechanic, it goes unchallenged, as it has for the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I just wish there was an item build that allowed perma-Call of the Ancients. So that I could be way gimpier than any other barbarian build, but have amusing pets.

    The Tutors from Mirage can also be sold fairly quickly at local shops, since the EDH crowd gobbles them up.

    New Wildstar 40 man Group

    I'm going to need some hyphens in there, Agraza. I can't tell whether you are a hobo that rapes corpses, or a rapist with a preference for hobo corpses. I guess I could use context clues, but I JUST CAN'T RISK IT.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    When Magic first came out in the mid-90s, there was a LOT of overlap between the D&D and Magic Crowds. It's rather dropped-off now. Amusingly, MMORPGs had the same kind of cohort shifts.

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    Grand Island is also the "Round up all them thar DREAMERS and cart em to INS" city-ordinance passers a few years ago, so I'm pretty sure any political-correctness pussification occurring in town is counteracted by red-blooded (and necked) Real American virtues. I live in Nebraska; have my entire...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    The first couple raid decks they did were pretty all-over-the-board in regards to difficulty, but that was understandable since it was the first foray into such a product. After that, most of the raid decks were rather well-balanced for the cards that were legal when they were printed. If you...

    Well, if you went against a WoW TCG raid deck with a starter deck you got your skull crushed. I don't see why it should be any different just because it's a digital TCG.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    There was never actually an MMO under construction. Titan was just their code-word for "Rolling around in a swimming pool filled with money." One of the investors caught on, thus the purge.

    Rotating blocks keep the game fresh and allow new players to join without facing too monumental a stumbling block to actually competing. Anyone who is opposed to them, should be in the Everquest thread(s) leghumping AA's "New Player Repellent Spray" effect.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I am just befuddled that they went with Magic's land-system when their company has the rights to a vastly superior resource system. VS/WoW's resource system is pretty much the best standardized progression* resource system in the CCG-sphere. *=resources accumulate at a fixed rate (or have...

    There should have been Warders in AhnQiraj so that the first group per server to clear the raid also closed the raid off for the server forever. It would have been delicious.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Eh, the King slot is unlimited, and all you miss out on is the free draft each week. Which will likely eventually be worth it if you play for a full year (assuming expansions are released at a decent clip), but if you play for 3-months when the game comes out or whatever, or if you go infinite...

    Testing is still being done on Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker as an offhand for Brewmaster Monks on high-physical damage bosses. It was pointless last expansion, when all tanks applied the Attack Speed reduction debuff that Thunderfury applies (Which was a direct stacking change...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    If all equipment is PVE only that'll make me sad. The number of permutations Equipment looks to cause in card effect/deckbuilding seemed to promise a ridiculous amount of deck customization and unique approaches. A 350 card base set may sound like a lot, but it really isn't enough to make that...

    Dailies are fine when they're an accelerated way to do something (gold-farming, rep-farming, justice/valor-farming) for people without much time each day, and when other non-daily-gated options are present to perform the same activities. When there are 43+ of them (bye bye "not much time to...

    It's odd to see testing for Power for various classes spitting out different results. GWF testing was showing Power at the level cap as a Percentage increase in damage based on Power/Constant, rather than a flat damage increase for every X power. Armor Pen is probably going to cap out a pretty...

    Random amusing thing I noticed for guardian fighters. They have a +100% Attack Power feat, but their purple gear is almost devoid of attack power. I wonder what their "zomg deeeps" is like in attack power non-purples. Also, the Ogre Run foundry quests, the ogres have an aggro radius of...

    The 20 ogre runs are still producing better EXP than normal questing for me, dunno if that's just 1-ogre short of the cap or something. They're boring as hell, though.

    Neverwinter: PC

    The instigator tree for Great Weapon Fighter is going to be broke as a joke if they ever give Guardian Fighters some semblance of reliable AOE aggro. +50% Power? That's a pretty big % scalar increase to a core combat stat, especially when the class isn't balanced around having it up 100% of...
