    Monster Hunter: World

    Early weapons are kinda whatever. Bone usually has more raw attack but less crit and less sharpness, but for low rank stuff it kinda doesn't matter. Sharpness becomes useful once you can hit white sharpness though because it'll ignore a bunch of the "tough armor" bounce stuff, but for Longsword...

    Ravendawn

    Guess I'll check some streams, judging from the youtube comments this looks like it'll be a big south american population. Looks like UO/Ragnarok Online kind of thing, which is not bad but Indie+MMO kinda sounds like a recipe for disaster, game is F2P so I doubt it'll be playable for most of the...

    Ashes of Creation

    Reminds me of Crowfall so far, lots of cool "ideas" but the videos are kinda like slightly better stuff than last time but all the cool stuff is still to be done and what they show is not that impressive. That game also promised a lot of stuff, had a lot of alphas and betas and video, and...

    The "problem" of removing all the shitty voice acting jobs that are not very well paid where they just do 1, maybe 2 takes and done with unknown voice actors is that it removes the jobs the newbie voice actors need to pay their bills until they train well enough to be good. Sure if they remove...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Well that FFXIV set was like bis with 4pc for the set for a long while but then they powercrept that. But yeah it's like a puzzle game where you just put the best pieces possible with the most sockets for the decorations you have to reach the skills you need(which depends on the weapon, like for...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Kinda up to you, the guardian stuff will trivializes most of the vanilla game up until you get to late High Rank hunts(which you don't really have to do if you have Iceborne either). It's good for ppl who want to catch up and get to Iceborne asap. Iceborne will have you fight the exact same...

    Last Epoch

    It doesn't split the trading playerbase though, one faction simply cannot trade at all but instead gets better droprate, which is basically SSF from PoE but with actual benefits for it. Anyone who wants to trade has to be in the trading faction, so there's effectively only one group of ppl for...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah but unless they massively reduced the amount of skills, what they've shown so far should be a small part of the overall kit of classes. Every class in DD1 had like 8-10skills per weapons and 2-3 weapons per class plus there was 2-3 ranks of most skills which got better as you upgraded them...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    New Trickster video from IGN Very interesting concept, I don't know how good it'll be, as it looks very gimmicky, especially for the tougher boss fights stuff, but there's likely a bunch of higher tier skills not shown in that demo they played so there's room for more stuff. The whole setting...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Lots of this discussion is just speculations, if you mean spoilers for the existing story stuff it is over 2years old for most of what was spoilers(Endwalker stuff and what not) can't really expect spoilers to last forever.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I didn't mean specifically the quests but more like, everything. Sure they're different games and I think Dragon's Dogma is a lot better, but they're the same brand of somewhat generic action RPG, with a main story, some side quests, gear upgrade, get more skills as you level, class centric, 3rd...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I'd say it's more "generic" than a souls. If you've played Kingdom of Amalur for example, this kind of stuff. Has standard quests with side quests and all that, less punishing than souls, combat is more action focused. The big selling points is the classes being fun and nice to play with a good...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    One thing I didn't like this video is they let you use items with apparently no "cast time" which sounds cheesy as fuck. In both Souls and Monster Hunter, using a potion/flask will force you to drink it, meaning you can't just heal whenever you want, but in that little video the guy at some...

    Black Desert

    So been spending some time at Jade lately since I had agris to burn and I need a flame anyway so figured I'd do both, actually not a bad spot with agris, getting a consistent 1b+ there at 290ap. Anyway finally ran out of agris so decided to go back to giants, only did the one hour a couple weeks...

    Black Desert

    Na, it's just ok. In fact they're buffing her today, not massive buffs but some, and also fixing some things with her flows defaulting to T1 addons cause they had no cooldowns(even though they were tied to skills with cooldowns). I'm not a big fan of her, the mobility feels clunky, like it's...

    Black Desert

    Main hand, BS main hand gives a ton of monster dmg and kzarka is pretty much super outdated. Buy a tet bs awakening after(probably one of your first purchases), it's a lot of monster dmg over dandelion too and they dropped in value with the change so they're even more affordable. Kutum you will...

    Man Black Shrine can be a real pain in the dick. Today I tried C7 sangoon some more, and as usual could barely kill him before he'd enrage(like 1-3% kind of thing). Tried for like 3hours and just constantly low hp enrages or many bullshit deaths due to desync/bugs and what not and a few fair...

    Black Desert

    Right I know what I meant is they should boost the drops in Elvia Calpheon zones, in general these zones mostly underperform besides Giants, especially Hexe/Troll for their gear req. Hopefully when they get on that monster zone rebalance they talked about they'll look into that, making Distos...

    Did my first hour at primal giant to see if my new stats were fine, seems at least my DP is now good enough for this place with 363. Didn't really take much damage even playing pretty boldly(facetanking gigagord and shit), it was on awa guardian though so lots of hp regen even if I'm getting hit...

    Black Desert

    Looked somewhat similar to Awakening Drakania who has a fairly unique awakening with the 2 stances that chain off each other and stuff, not exactly the same obviously but there were some similarities, only that instead of 2 stances in the same spec it's just absolute+awakening so the kit is a...

    Global is up with new class. Added to this global patch is free T9 horse or 5 censers(personally I'm gonna pick the censers, I don't need another T9 and making T9 is easier than ever with the buffs to blush leaves from farming and grand prix and stuff), free tet blackstar weapon of your choice...

    Black Desert

    Well I don't think it changes too much unless you decide to switch which char does what since you don't have to buy a ticket anymore(still have to rebuy costumes though if relevant), it does mean every char will have afk horse sprint unlocked from the start though which is pretty fucking...

    Black Desert

    Official one with some story stuff mixed in, live next week globally Overall ball had a lot of existing systems fixes rather than a lot of new stuff. Buffs to existing grind zones to match the gear req, buff to boss rush+new boss rush that uses your own gear(only for 300AP+), buff the guild...

    Can't you just use a tuvala/narchillian? Obviously that's a big drop of DP but you can probably do some elvia spot with that anyway.

    Black Desert

    Yeah it's still there, they nerfed it but still there, HOWEVER they're removing it in 2 weeks(they added it to today's global labs update) for position 1-5, which is basically all the races since they kinda start as soon as you have 5 people so you rarely get more(sometimes 6). Currently it...

    Black Desert

    It's not like, THAT fast either, but queue usually takes a minute, loading+waiting to start ironically might take the longest at like 3mins, and then the race is about 2:30, so overall 6-7mins per race. You need between 2 and 7 races, depending on if you win first place then 1st/2nd place or...

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    You'd have a point if they hadn't spent the next 5 years releasing free updates to the game adding more and more content. But if you don't want to trust the hype and not preorder the game? Then good, you shouldn't, ever. Just wait until the game releases and see what's in it via streamers/other...

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    Unlike NMS they have years of making and working NMS as experience now so I doubt they'd make stuff up for promotion(well besides the usual like having the game run on a 5k machine to max out all the effects and still get good framerates and shit like that that everyone does), especially after...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    You can lock on in MHW(and Rise), although lock on is pretty bad in this series(and also in Dark Souls on a lot of fights, it's a lot easier to dodge properly when not locked). And there's not really any killing a "family of wolves" past like the first 10mins of the game so maybe that's where...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    Looks like it won't be like either, unless you mean the flow of combat and stuff. Since they didn't really display anything out of the ordinary yet hard to say but unlikely to be like Rise since the whole fast paced combat/movement was specifically the Rise gimmick. This looks open world, so...

    Black Desert

    Yeah I spent on these a while back for the budget set and easily made the money back out of biraghi, it's obviously not very noticeable during weapon phases, but inbetween weapons it's very obvious how much faster you kill with them on than without and that adds up to a fair bit of money every...

    Black Desert

    Well depends on how much, have to remember that species AP only counts for .85(or something like that), so 10 human dmg is effectively 8 normal ap, but yeah if you replace 3 ap under cap with 10human ap then it's still a gain. And yeah it can be high cost, it has some other uses though(pvp, pit...

    Path of Exile

    There is a new curse thing that spawns mobs when you attack the target in the new ascendency things which could help arakaali a lot, granted that means you have to pick that one and it kinda looked pretty meh compared to the other 2 when I gave it a quick look. A lot of the "new" gems seem...

    Black Desert

    Usually that'd be macalods and rebellious since they're mostly just AP. Decimation have 1% back, corrupted have crit dmg, ahkrad speed, you need fang for crit. Macalods are basically only 5.5ap and 1 accuracy and some stamina which is kinda whatever, and rebelious are good AP but nothing...

    Black Desert

    You sure you didn't forget some stuff? It is pretty easy to hit the ap caps in my experience. Like assuming you have done all your setup on garmoth with crystals/food/potions/passives(this one's less obvious need to tick all the passives), if you go to the AP cap page you can also select your...

    Black Desert

    Yeah giants and orcs and all these elvia spots are only good if you have species damage to go over the cap(or well they're much better if you do). Doesn't matter too much during weapon phases but outside you notice it a lot. Giants ap cap is the same as orc even though it's a higher end spot...

    The game publishers can "recall" keys that they identified to have been obtained in illegal ways and Steam is forced to remove access to the games in these cases. Hasn't happened very often though and it's almost always G2A keys or similar sources.

    I played a lot of DFO and they use XIGNcode and honestly couldn't really tell the issues.

    Itemizing corpses for spectres sounds pretty nice. Seems it's only for the new type of monsters but might be a step towards making it so you can stock corpses to redo your spectres when you want and stuff like that. The new spectre types also look pretty dumb, that Hydra spectre looked...
