    Monster Hunter Rise

    So I guess I "finished" the story, I assume that's why they added another ending in a patch later on, cause that shit just kinda ends randomly, credits and all and it really doesn't feel like the end but then nothing more unlocks in the village. Now doing the special mission stuff to unlock the...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Silkbinds is the name of the mechanic, it uses little insect shit with silk threads to use the moves, but they're standard moves, like L2+triangle will do one of the silkbind moves but otherwise it works the same way as before. They do somewhat behave like cooldown based skills, although they...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Uh? No it's still the same. The silkbind moves are just specific input, everything is L2 + key, similar to how World worked with slinger/claw.

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Graphics are bit worse but doesn't really matter, there's less monsters because no expansion yet and continuous content releases haven't been as good from my understand(#1 complaint from old MH fans I've seen, might change with the expansion/dual release though). Lots of "new" monsters though...

    Seems they're reopening sales on January 25th, along with Oceania server release and world transfers(including free transfers to Oceania servers). There's a big lodestone post about their various plans, DC visit is indeed only physical DC visit for now(so NA to NA but not NA to EU) and is coming...

    It will be somewhat harder as time goes by and the better players clear, but also people get more gear(tomes and drops and in a few months the catchup mechanics with augmented crafted/24man drops/24man currency and hunt nuts for upgrade mats) so it gets easier to clear with worse players too...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Might be unlocked later, there are a bunch of NPCs that don't seem to do shit early on, but haven't really looked into it too much so far. Interesting that you can pick which quests you do to progress the story, rather than have specific ones. You can pick gathering and small monster killing...

    Lost Ark Online

    It's cheaper but it's also kinda shitty before T3 I believe? But the class is just popular cause it looks cool too I think. Beta popularity isn't necessarily representative of live numbers though so wouldn't put too much weight into it regardless. Costs more money to do the animations for both...

    My internet got fixed after a couple of hours, french steam download server was being slow as fuck though, switched to germany and now getting 50mb/s so should be downloaded soon. Going switch axe for now, will probably switch to other stuff later on.

    MMORPG vs RPG?

    Rose tinted glasses to the max. EQ classes had "hundreds" of spells because a lot of them were just the same spell with higher rank/power. A lot were just boring as shit like "this is a dot, this is also a dot, but a different element, oh this is a dot too, but another element again, this dot...

    Oh good my internet just died 2hours before the game launches. Now might have to download the game with my shitty backup ADSL connection if it doesn't get fixed until then.

    Total War: Warhammer

    I'd assume they'll do that like 1week before release or so, maybe 2 weeks? Most content creators are probably just making the videos and shit and they'll release everything at once. It doesn't make too much sense to have people show off the game a full month before it releases, for the...

    Lost Ark Online

    Yeah I don't have stats but I'd say most people who play female chars are actually guys, not girls. 20-30% female player base, but 60-70% female characters in these type of games(again not actual figures, but I'd assume it's somewhat close). Hell female players don't even necessarily play female...

    Probably yeah, although the fight was released with 60 cap so it is doable with only 60 spells, just makes it easier to get 70 stuff.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    One is an acronym, and the other is a command that displays an image that represents the same thing. It's really not that different. Whole argument is boomer "I don't understand them youths anymore, in my day we played with a stick and rocks not with them electric games". I don't use them cause...

    Loom should be fine on controller with the new settings, at least for this fight. Since you know when the meteor is being cast, just move to the edge and start targetting Loom. Make sure you increase scroll speed for the target on pad(default is 50, can make it 75 or whatever), and make sure you...

    Got in a good party and killed it, had the stereotypical loud mouth "wow I can't even, someone doesn't know numbers" idiot after we got a single wipe on numbers, then he turned out he wiped us twice with his fucking knockback debuff, including once on the very first one when fucking nothing else...

    Can definitely PF, but harder than EX, especially the current EX which are pretty braindead. Granted the first 2 floors are also pretty easy as usual. 3rd floor usually is rough until ppl get more geared and 4th tends to be quite hard to PF unless you get in early and are good or people vastly...

    Fuck P2S is so stupidly easy just need to find a party that doesn't suck at doing dmg. Was in one that was doing mechanics properly but low DPS so couldn't get the kill in time. The others are like "enrage xp" then wipe to limit cut so it's interesting. Have been doing most runs on my shitty...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    As long as people are in their right spot yeah. The "difficult" part is going to your spot quickly, which is why PF uses timers to determine positions(like 3s is 1/A, 8s is 2/B, 13s 3/C and 18s 4/D, red out purple in obv) and if you do that, then you're good for the whole thing, although if you...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's still stupidly good. The only equivalent is like Phoenix which is 100 potency but every 2mins(and can't be held for specific aoes like arcane crest can) and DNC heals which require the party is stacked, with one being 300potency every minute(so a bunch less but instant) and Improv which is...

    BLM hasn't really changed much, but double triple cast is really neat. I leveled it doing dungeons and honestly it's really fucking easy to do movement stuff even when you're not planning properly now with all the changes as long as you're floating some stuff a bit. I'm not a huge fan of the new...

    Prices for crafted stuff kinda crashed pretty fast and might crash further but mats are high yeah. Looks like too many crafters similar to late ShB, not too surprising I guess. New gear is reskin of a pvp set which is nice since a lot of ppl didn't get that set anyway, looks alright. I'll craft...

    In EX WHM was a fair bit ahead, but for normals they're not as I've just noticed, which is interesting I guess. I'd say it's more likely the "good" players aren't parsing normal past getting their weekly loot though versus farming mounts in EX, so that'd skew the numbers maybe. We'll see once...

    It's 7 tokens for the weapon. Reduced to 4 in 6.1 then uncapped in 6.18 so you can eventually get as many weapons as you want(but for a short period of time until new raid tier). The 500 tomes stuff they mentionned a while back in live letters and it was in the patch notes 2 weeks ago too. RPR...

    I am, maybe. Will see how I like FFXIV savage, if I'm not doing too much of that I'll play a bunch of Rise, if I'm doing a bunch of savage I'll probably play only a little/wait a bit. I haven't really thought about my weapon though. I guess maybe Hunting Horn as it was changed a lot in Rise...

    I've done a bunch of group content with WAR and if I don't have my stance on I don't generate shit for threat that I could tell. It's only ever been a "problem" if I turn the tank stance on, then I'll creep up and pass other tanks, but I also generally outDPS them so it's hard to tell if there's...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah just checked and it does still generate threat fine. In fact checked Aurora too and it does so not sure how you tested. What I did for a quick tests was autoattack without tank stance a mob, have chocobo pull aggro from me, turn on stance and cast aurora on myself and that monster switched...

    Well heals generate threat, and tank stance has a massive multiplier. Shake it Off is a 400 party potency heal, and Equilibrium a 1200 self potency heal(with a HoT after) so that'll generate large amounts. Paladin can also do somewhat similar stuff by using Divine Veil and popping it during...

    Yeah they look like ass. The mega tiger mount you'll get at the end might look pretty cool though.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It doesn't matter a whole lot. The "downside" is mostly not having as much raw aoe healing as WHM/AST, not that the shields don't stack, it's pretty easy to just not shield when you don't need to, which is most of the time anyway, and when you do need to shield, Adlo spread is better than...

    There isn't really a meta, unless you mean speedruns. Most raids will bring either of them, they're both excelent. Speedruns might favor SGE cause it does a bit more dmg, although SCH will likely scale better as the expansion go anyway since crit raid buff, so once ppl have more crit it...

    95% of the uses is just targetting the offtank when they're taking a tankbuster, so you can just make a macro that's like /ac "whatever" <2> . Assuming you use the default party setup, the 2nd player is always the other tank. For example I use that for shirk since I will never shirk anyone but...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    For Heart, like TBN, I just have the button twice, one normal for self use, and one macro with <mo> for protecting other ppl/offtank. The other classes have 2 buttons anyway so it's basically the same.

    Login times are still shit, maybe less shit but still shit. Collector edition is mostly just mount/minions/glamour, just read what they give, but pretty much all of it is ignorable unless you want the specific stuff they give. HW notably has a Fantasia(potion to remake your char) bundled in there.

    I've been lvling healers and the amount of terrible tanks in 81+ dungeons feels definitely a bit worse than usual. It's not like all bad, there's your good tanks and average "I'll take it" tanks still, but I think it's exacerbated by the fact the 82 skills are so good, and yet so many of these...

    Well a problem that affects 40% of the users for example is a huge fucking issues and you'll see a lot about it, but ultimately you still have 60% of the ppl playing the game without an issue. Even as low as 10% of the userbase having issues will create a bunch of noise because that's still a...

    Dungeons were 50%, I checked every dungeon besides 83 and 89 and was always 50%. They do provide substantial xp now though, around 40-45% of a level per run, so 4runs with some side shit is enough to do 2 levels, or 5runs and you'll have leftover(so next 2levels only 4 runs). Bozja has 2...

    Yeah they're all more or less trash in comparison.
