    "Ion acknowledges that they should have reacted to player feedback earlier about conduit energy, and knows that they can do better about communicating not only that we are being heard, but why things are not necessarily implemented or changed right away." Pretty sure I've read that a few times...

    Quick explore is a bunch of xp on retainers and you don't really need gear for it. That said it takes a fucking long time to level them, iirc last time I reset it took me like 3weeks with 6+ ventures a day. So the boosts are definitely worth it especially if you want capped retainers before EW...

    Well like every classes in XIV, it's going to be good enough regardless. They don't really fuck balance up so much that classes are straight worthless, usually, although x.0 patches can be a bit wild until the first round of adjustments(NIN was pretty trash in 5.0 and MNK was pretty broken and...

    The trusts especially show you how most mechanics work, all you have to do is follow them. I guess he wasn't running around the boss during that one attack? But even someone with poor gaming skills should be able to just run around the boss(even if they're not attacking during that time) so yeah...

    Comes relatively soon after some hackers found how to run them without Facebook, so they might think it's not worth it anymore? It's also unclear what their intent was in the first place, advertisement placement/info gathering I guess but the target was such a small demographic I'm not sure it...

    It's a mmo, that plays like an ARPG, not the opposite. It is fully mmo, although due to combat, it's an action mmo(you can actively dodge out of stuff and what not). Has support classes but not the full trinity setup(but from what I've seen you're expected to run one support in every party for...

    Yeah it's the usual online experience, some ppl just are terrible and are unwilling to improve and some think they're much better than they are. Been trying to farm some accessoris in E9S farms and the last 4 parties I've been in yesterday/today haven't managed a single kill. That's "farm...

    Well I mean everything will run on it, just depends on if it will run well enough. Any game with good performance/lots of options to tweak performance will run fine though.

    DOTA 2

    From the couple of stream I've watched, the good combo is her punching people to death instantly with her ult, then jumping 2screens further, supplexing some fool into another fool, then killing both instantly too. She looked pretty broken, or well her ult mostly. It's like if Ursa could hit...

    Well one involves following the story which is a strong point of XIV, as well as learning your class as you progress(which isn't true imo but that's the logic at least), while the other involves grinding outdated content repeatedly for currency until you have enough to enter the content people...

    Ultimately it's not too much different than current, just better explained with detailed examples. I don't bother correcting anyone playing like an amoeba personally cause it's generally just a waste of time anyway. Telling a shitter they should try not to be a shitter is rarely going to get you...

    Well PF ads have been a thing for like, 6+ years? So I wouldn't say it's very responsive. That said they also were a lot less intrusive than they are in wow, usually it's like 4-12 ads in the duty roulette section since it's the first one in the list, if you sort by high end duty or whatever you...

    Ah haven't really played much/looked into it, assumed pets were like purely cosmetics baseline, and the looting was part of the rental thing and they made that permanent instead. Yeah no difference then.

    Yeah it doesn't really kill any P2W complaint when you can clearly buy crystals and sell them for gold to do whatever it is you need to use gold for, which is otherwise much more limited. Can call it pay2convenience or pay2progressfaster but ultimately boils down to the same thing. Not that I'm...

    The discontentment has only started brewing on Reddit, it'll be soon probably. The more people reach red maps, the more people complain about the issues of a given league, unless it's jarring shit like "click on all these organs every fucking map it's fun".

    Temperature in the computer isn't relevant though? If your CPU goes down from 60 to 30, where do you think that heat goes? It doesn't magically disappear in the water. If anything the lower your computer is, the more heat is being transferred into your room. That's the whole point of cooling...

    Anything under 70° is more than fine though, even 70-80° is within acceptable ranges, might wear a bit easier but that's only for super long term. There's basically no difference between running at 30 and running at 60, unless you're planning to overclock.

    Yeah as mentionned you'd have until Nov 18th or so when the 24h maintenance will start for the expansion. Don't farm the maps, only thing you "need" is the vest, everything else is available in the game normally. You can farm it doing T2 with normal classes, I see parties doing that, it takes...

    Yeah turned off mount music 8years ago when I got annoyed I couldn't hear Coerthas music between farming FATEs back in ARR and never turned it back on(might have turned back on when I had to wipe settings once but yeah). There's some good ones, but I dislike how it just breaks the zone music...

    Not sure it's possible to estimate accurately? I know on XIV there's some estimations but that's based on characters with certain achievements, but since most ppl only play one char you can use it as a somewhat reliable measure, while on wow a lot of people play several chars so that wouldn't...

    Can't you just return this shit for a refund? Not sure how it works in the US but unopened non perishable can be returned here within like 15days or something. I'd just return all the shit you don't need, or everything if you want to get somewhere else to build for you. Or well I'd have done...

    Name some good PC FpS

    The 2 big FPS franchises(CoD and Battlefield) sell more on consoles, if anything without consoles you'd probably see even less. Also since they weren't listed, if you want multiplayer FPS, Apex, Valorant, Rainbow Six: Siege and CS:GO are the big things. Overwatch too I guess although this is...

    Na a lot of people keep a bunch of games installed, especially with limited bandwith internet and what not. Personally I wouldn't give a shit I can just redownload everything in a few minutes but I can see it being an issue when you have data caps. Although imo that's what big slow ass external...

    Xbox Megathread

    Yeah this is kinda what people were saying when Microsoft announced the storage expansion being proprietary shit, Sony did the exact same thing with the Vita back in the days. It is actually a bit surprising they didn't do the same for the PS5 instead of letting people just install whatever the...

    I saw a post by a reddit detective that it was all bullshit already. Don't care much about it but it wouldn't be super surprising that his EX wife would make shit up right after he gets a bunch of money.

    Path of Exile

    I was pretty annoyed/surprised at it but the mastery makes it better, although you now have to pay a skill point for something you used to get for free. Hmm seems they nerfed the 2nd source though, the +3 sword mastery used to be generic but I guess it's now +3 with swords only. You used to be...

    Path of Exile

    Every reddit post I've seen said the drop rate was complete ass for it, and you need a lot. It's definitely not something you should do SSF, better play trade and not trade anything else, or pick another build if you want to do SSF specifically. That or you have to be committed to farm hard for...

    Path of Exile

    The idea of these orbs I'm pretty sure is to just roll random shit on gear that you triple scourged and got good mods. See if you can get something good out of them and what not. I expect scourged exalts to be worth kinda shit, because realistically they're way worse than normal exalts since...

    Lost Ark Online

    Isn't that just because they were still finishing the game as much as possible? Because they changed so much stuff over time that they had to make all the dungeons and all that shit that they hadn't originally planned at all so they were behind on everything, so anything that wasn't top priority...

    Switching them probably would have been better but I'm sure investors and money guys and shit were tired of the constant delays. Would have been smarter to release the already complete game where they can just adjust what new content opens up whenever they want and shit, and get another...

    Hollow Knight is definitely top tier and is the one I'd recommend the most in the genre. The rest I don't know, some are fine but nothing really crazy good I think.

    There was a bunch of fuckery. I did a comparison node by node but it was pointless cause I was using the recent version. GGG went and updated the JSON, and this was V3 numbers. Trying to see what the old numbers were. The masteries are pretty shit though other than phys overwhelm, like offering...

    Boosts release with early access, so that's also when the prices will be lowered. Obviously, that'll still mean you have to do 70-80 with them unless you buy a 80 boost(but that'd be the same price as the current boost).

    DOTA 2

    Some will probably, you can see a bunch of previous TI winners still playing cause they probably don't have much else to do anyway, and to some extent it's "free". Like if you have enough money you don't need to work anymore and you still like playing dota, makes sense to keep playing...

    Path of Exile

    These new uniques are actually good like they said they would be, which is a bit of a surprise. The new masteries also look pretty strong across the board, although some of them are pretty disappointing. I can "kinda" see why they removed range on strike skills, seeing as how they added +3 range...

    DOTA 2

    They showed they clearly knew what to do against Mag in game 3, and in game 5 they picked Sky to counter it with instant seal, but a bunch of times he was either BKBed, or he horn tosses the skywrath himself cause bad positionning/better vision. I think they just starved them for kills. The...

    Yeah Tinker does that though, if you can't kill him or lock him down, what are you gonna do with blind on and getting peppered constantly by nukes. The panel actually hit the nail on the head on that last Tinker pick, it was basically barely countered, while countering pretty much all the strat...

    DOTA 2

    Well to be fair, LGD also steamrolled everyone, and generally not with passive play. They only dropped 2 games total until the grand finals(one in group, one in main stage). TeamSpirit is the underdog and they had a much longer path there so obviously you want to root for them more and they're...
