    Ngannou has such obvious flaws and half of them just aren't fixable. Anyone with a grappling background is going to try to do what Stipe did. Wear the guy out. Avoid his strikes. Win either by tap or points is guaranteed if you can go the distance. Dude is young and raw and dangerous AF...

    Square is super anal about not letting people be toxic. If you go just a page or two back you'll notice all the moaning about the new "community guidelines" that don't allow players to say anything that might be considered offensive. Besides the fact that Square plays big brother, the community...

    DC wanted Cain to rise back to the top and they could politely hand off the belt –– he was extending his career, in part, to help his friend get his title. After that loss, Cain ain't sniffing a title anytime soon.

    WoW groups are 5-man. The difference between 4 and 5 is minimal. The difference between WoW-clone MMO's and EQ-like MMO's is you simply remove the crowd control class. XIV removed a superfluous DPS class for reasons, but it doesn't affect how shit plays –– the difference would be pulling...

    Congratulations, you're now in level 50 purgatory for the next 100 quests! It's a lot like the 1-50 grind except there are no power gains, zero character progression, and fewer zones to see.

    That's what I wanted to hear. Theoretically. Maybe I won't make a horrible life decision and I'll stay out of this thread now…

    Didn't look like a KO to me, but maybe Cain is just that messed up. Nice to see Ngannou finally get a W and a wrench thrown into DC's plans though.

    Final Fantasy 11 (Nasomi)

    XI makes a lot more sense after you play it with a controller. It's not a KB&M MMO. Hell, even XIV is clunky compared to WoW despite being over a decade newer. After a few weeks though you stop playing the UI and the game flows!

    Faceless - Recruiting for Selo Server

    Yeah that's basically what I expected. Haven't ben part of the TLP game since Combine, but I've followed enough of it from afar. SK's start off strong but are 3rd string tanks by level 70 and don't recover until what, level 105 or 110? Given the speed of progression on this server, it'd be fun...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    That's the only website. Fact is most UI developers have quit this dumpster fire of a game. Usually fixes are easy and quick. You could probably develop enough skill in 5 minutes.

    Faceless - Recruiting for Selo Server

    So, theoretically, if I were considering making a major life mistake, what'd be the most desired tank? SK are gods in the early game with Harm Touch etc. and the epic 2.0 is amazing. The class fantasy is A++ but having to play ShadowKITE in later expansions is… less appealing. Paladins really...

    Didn't LoY give us maps, shared bank space, dyes and some other small QoL stuff? These days it'd be berated as a P2Win Cash Shop money grab list of features.

    There will be a grace period to transfer. Since they're fucking over NA and further segmenting servers into new data center clusters, they're giving everyone an opportunity to go where they so choose.

    Lots of us are on Gilgamesh. That said, it wouldn't be horrible if you started up on a random "preferred" server (that's still on the Aether datacenter). You'd get a double exp boost until level 60, some free sub time (15 or 30 days?), and even a stash of gil (500k?); with the datacenter...

    Think of it like a giant side quest. There are 4 different zones to Eureka. You get special Eureka levels and progress through the zones. Ultimately, you get some crappy gil rewards and the expansion's special artifact weapon, which has glowy shit and is technically best in slot by like 2% over...

    None of that is AD's problem or a result of his actions. The Pels drafted him and got his rights for a number of years when he came into the league. They wasted his talents. He's leaving in free agency. Davis is not destroying the franchise. Dude is being a professional.

    What? The Pelicans wanted to sit Davis for the rest of the season to improve their draft stock and decrease the chance of an injury limiting his trade value. They'd prefer to tank than to play AD. Only reason Davis is playing at all after the All Star break is because the dude wants to hoop...

    There's a good case to be made for everything except Data Centers. NA raiding should not be split between two, or soon three, server clusters. Cross-realm exists. Being able to only cross-realm with some 40% of North American players is silly in 2019. Especially since all the Data Centers are...

    Servers absolutely matter, which is sad in 2019. Right now NA servers exist on two Data Centers. In the next few months, North America will be further fractured in to three Data Centers. You can't interact with anyone on another Data Center. Across servers within your Data Center, you can do...

    That's the pessimistic view. I'm choosing to be optimistic – they found a way to fix Dark Knight as they made a whole new class from the ground up and they'll both share the build & spend resource bit that PLD and WAR lack. By pruning TP and re-doing the job gauges, they can implement a lot...
