    Don't know why this shit website says dollars in the title, but yeah saw that post on reddit the other day, funny shit. The guy sounded like a real fucking idiot after too, pretending he didn't bot and the seller "hacked him" and shit.

    Hopefully the improvements they've made to DLSS means more devs will turn it on. That said if you have a 3080 or whatever, DLSS seems somewhat redundant, since you can usually just put everything on ultra and play the game already. I guess if you're into 300FPS or 4k 120fps then it might be nice.

    You don't NEED it mind you, it's just nice to have cause it gives you a pretty big power boost inside Eureka. That said if you're broke you probably won't be able to afford the shit for the shiny armor either. On the flipside, Eureka is a good place to make money especially once you get to...

    Don't know how much you can queue but with quick ventures, it's like 5 ventures per lvl or something like that iirc, so it's pretty easily doable to get to 80 before EW launch if you can start a venture when you go to work, get one going when you come back, then a couple more after that before...

    I still have HQ fishes for leve turn ins, because their explanation is somewhat vague on fishing, as per usual. In the LL they said fishes are probably still having a special status equivalent to HQ(but something else, they said Big Fish in the LL but hopefully they remember that's also...

    For Eureka you kinda want to look up guides for each step, since not too many people bothered going back and making one huge guide for everything. Sometimes you'll see a reddit post that sums up everything at once written the expansion after so with that in mind("you can unsync this, you only...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Pyros is crystal and light again, but a lot less light iirc. You need the market board stuff for the armor, not the weapon(need the 50 actions or whatever it was to buy the armor). Hydatos is just crystals but with a shit droprate. BA is not necessary for anything besides BA stuff...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Only need 1 weapon yeah, and it only needs to be at Pyros level(so complete Anemos and Pagos only). In Hydatos the vendor that upgrade the elemental armor is available even without progressing the relic weapon to that step as far as I remember, but in Pyros the vendor only pops after you start...

    I don't think it's that bad, there's a ton of guides, and you can go at it over time using the challenge log. A lot of it is just doing FATEs too. There's a few new systems added on top of the usual stuff, but they're introduced over time, like early on, you just have to understand the Magia...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You need 31 frosted crystals from full bars of light, assuming it hasn't changed, I don't really remember. You also need 500 pagos crystals from FATEs and 5 louhi ice(from the boss FATE that spawns in there). It's definitely wasteful to not have unlocked it earlier, but if you still need the...

    I'd think you could get reimbursed even if it's past "release date" on Steam if you contact them and explain(iirc refund had something for special refund reasons). If they technically haven't released the OSX version yet then Steam should be able to reimburse you, especially if you haven't been...

    People are buying into the "connection" and such, it's not just about the titties, it's about the titties of someone you watch everyday and feel close to(even though you're obviously absolutely not).

    Yeah that's what I read about sorc RU. As for the EU/NA one, apparently it's over in the website files and what not, they already have the icons and names and shit in the source code of the website, even though they have no other class in there. There was a "slip up" last week too where an...

    Stoneshard (Roguelike RPG)

    Yeah I like them too, the "true" rogue-likes are a fairly specific genre, I find them pretty fun since they usually have a ton of mechanics and a lot of replayability but they're definitely not casual friendly usually speaking, and most don't have meta progress since it's not really a feature of...

    Stoneshard (Roguelike RPG)

    Well it's a rogue-like, but usually with proper preparation and safe play you can get around most of the difficulty, just tends to be a genre that punishes mistakes super heavily. And I mean actual rogue-likes, like the turn based tiled based like Rogue, not every single game that has random...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Maybe, but it'd be money lost and ultimately unlike some other games where the expansion lock out new systems and such, you're mostly just buying the race to play the race, everything else is available, so I don't think they'd do it. They might and probably will sell like TW1+2+3 in one pack...

    Yeah the server crashed in a bunch of the NA DCs, so you have queues to log back in as everyone rushes back in. The random crashes aren't so good looking for EW's launch though, happened like every other weekend to a few different servers each time.

    DH starting quests iirc, I did that when I played a bit during BFA, start on some weird ass planet. That said it could still have been an exploded planet with floating continents and shit, since it worked ok for Outlands.

    Yeah most recent classes always suffer from that. The first 2 relic steps are alright looking though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Truly a fitting end for such a grand story that pulled together the threads woven so many years ago. A random NPC they just added that a decent amount of the playerbase don't even know will become the new super important role they just added, so they can safely forget about it all and never...

    Dancer step before the last one looks nice enough imo, that's what I'm using, didn't bother finishing it. Same on SCH, I finished it for the stats but I'm using the step before(green aura book, instead of stupid floating polygons book). MNK I'm using the actual final step, although the first...

    I think the idea is the pad works on PC, doesn't it? So you're basically buying a pad and a chromecast for that price. Even just a pad for 22bucks is pretty good, assuming it works on PC and doesn't suck too much.

    Around 4mins in this video you can see the system, I saw some guy on twitch show the same thing a few days ago so I don't think prices changed. One big issue is you can't buy the upgrade until you have the right ilvl, for Rohendel you need 460, for Yorn 600, for whatever the 3rd is 960 and for...

    Those Nurgle mechanics look really cool. Not a huge fan of Nurgle, I'd rate it last out of the 4, but these mechanics alone would make it more appealing than Khorne for my playthroughs. Looking forward to Slaanesh' fuckery.

    Lost Ark Online

    The KR prices looked really stupid for these though. Iirc it was like 800g to skip the 1-50 stuff, but like 1400-2000g for each step after that, which means you'd be spending a stupid amount of gold for an hour or two or questing every char. The 1-50 is well worth it since it takes longer and is...

    Lost Ark Online

    Well the leveling isn't super slow, but yeah it's boring as shit getting up there, there's 0 challenge and most of it is running from quest to quest, sometimes blowing up one pack of mobs, sometimes picking up some shit, and dungeons while having more combat are also pretty straight forward...
  27. Pyros

    Lost Ark Online

    Oh right I forgot about that. But yeah it's a thing you do once and you're done, just pick a char to run through all sidequests as you level, honestly I'd say it only adds like 1h30-2h total to the leveling process, they're really not shittily designed and most of the time you only have 1...

    Lost Ark Online

    The sidequests can be done on any char, the rewards are just one time only. You can't track them. Some of them are required for the Another Story parts of the Adventure tome(red ! quests), from what I understood. That's the only thing they matter for. There is also some chain quests that reward...

    From the looks of it ER won't spoil DS3 at least, the gameplay are very similar, and while you'd go back from an open world to a zone world, that really shouldn't matter much, DS3 will still be interesting with cool layouts and shit. I guess you might get annoyed at the fact you can't jump...

    Lost Ark Online

    Sidequests are basically only worth doing once for account unlocks, and you should really do them as you do the main quests. Other than the chain quests(have a special chain icon which means there's several in a row) that give skill points and stuff, they're mostly worthless and only good for...

    Nier Automata

    It is definitely not like Dark Souls though. It is a more traditional action RPG, I guess more like say Witcher. Very enjoyable game, story is a bit weird but interesting, setting is good, music is great, combat is fun. You might have to install some mod shit to make the game run properly...

    Oh you managed to buy crystals? I read it was a pain in the ass with their new system on RU, I checked it out and it didn't take Paypal or Paysafe cards so didn't really bother looking further into it. I actually made a couple of chars to check some classes out, I'm kinda liking Arcana, sucks...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah don't care much about them. They get a bit fleshed out during Stormblood(MNK questline also, some decent story there) but overall they're not very interesting people imo, kinda just help them cause Garleans are worse. Some of them are actually pretty good people but they're the typical...

    Well if you did the pages yeah that'd make sense since that's a lot of additional grind. I had the duel buff like once when I was farming but still wasn't close. Granted if I had been max level while doing it I probably would have gotten more since the higher rank you are, the more mettle you...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    How the fuck did you do 10/10/10 with just this step? I was still leveling when I did it but it wasn't even close, especially seeing how the mettle point shit goes up the more you have. I finished the relic stuff and did a few more dalriada and the weekly and I'm at like 4/2/0 or some shit, I...

    You get a lot of gear just leveling too, I don't think I ever had anything that was too low lvl other than one earring because I didn't notice until like 40 there were 2 earrings(I did notice the 2 rings just so used to XIV so thought it was neck/earring/bracer/2rings but it's...

    The fextralife video says it's closer to 1/12th based on the full map but not sure how accurate. It also depends a lot on how dense the other areas are. Generally speaking it's not uncommon for devs to work more on the "first" area so it has a lot more things and so the press gets better first...

    Can also do ocean fishing, I saw ppl leveling there when I was looking for fishes for the achievement and they'd get like 3-4 levels just fishing and I think you get a bunch of xp at the end too. Can't chain it, it's only once every 2 hours but it seemed stupidly fast. But yeah fishing is the...

    Actually at launch, they do, kinda. Basically when a new expansion launch, the main raid isn't available right away. 2weeks after launch the normal version is available(LFR) and 2weeks after that, savage is available. The whole tier is available at once though, and they only do that for new...
