    So I'm working on leveling and getting my Deadeye geared since I farmed a shit load on my other two characters and stripped them. Was chaos spamming some steel rings and ended up with 2 decent ones. Would you try to gamble a better roll on the +mana steel ring or call it a day?

    Monster Hunter: World

    So it looks like overall they buffed everything aside from LBG/HBG/Bow. Seems weird since all the weapons are solid already and nothing is getting a difficulty ramp up.

    These companies have economists who prove that cost analysis to be wrong or they'd already be $1 or $5. And again look at it verse your time played. If the majority of people in this thread spent $300 they'd still be getting cosmetic/quality of life improvements for <$1/hour entertainment and...

    Yeah and I'd make sure to capture every monster so you can unlock the quests instead of back tracking later to figure out what you're missing if you get to the point where you want Rainbow pigment etc.

    If you can afford it and enjoy it then go for it. I've got way less hours, maybe 350 or so total, but I've spent $150-200ish between 3 different leagues. I probably average $100-400 per "free" game that I have enjoyed in the past. That shit is like one night out to dinner or bar though so it's...

    As this is my first trade league the only thing I have noticed with prices are all the afk/dnd dudes who never respond cluttering up the first 20+ entries with reasonable prices (ex: 20 chaos) but when you get to the ones who do respond they are all asking 1 exalt or something that isn't worth...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I got to Chap 8 of FFXV before quitting last time and just the thought of playing the game makes me want to do anything else rather than finish the story. First FF main title I've not completed aside from FFXIII which I just didn't play at all maybe if/when it's the last game I have left in my...

    It's complete preference. Every weapon is good enough to complete all content and if you aren't bad you can kill everything regardless of what you equip though some will trivialize encounters - lance with diablos for example. In the scheme of things though it goes Skill > Gear/Weapon/Decos so...

    The Division 2

    I played right at beta/launch and quit because I found spending 15 minutes shooting a trivial encounter boss boring especially with no reward. Didn't have an issue with DZ, but I never really get up tight about dying in a video game regardless of hacker or 4 man gank. The game is solid now...

    People have been talking about that one for multiple leagues. -- Aside from all the derp this league has produced I've been extremely lucky. Aside from my Oni, I got a 6L usable chest drop and probably 5 exalts worth of loot to sell so far which is way better than when I've been doing SSF...

    The Division 2

    What's with the DZ hate? In two months of farming DZ for div tech during the last Nov/Dec global event I might have run into a full PK groups a handful of times that decided it was worth killing me while I made chest runs. During that global event I got every single set of classified via Lex...

    If you weren't using the PS save scum tactic then you are beyond lucky to get the attack gem or any specific rarity 7/8 with how the deco system works. For a normal person working the system not using save method they will need to meld thousands of gems. It's pretty dumb.

    This is my first league I'm not doing HCSSF and since I don't really care about pokemon I figured I'd go softcore and trade league for once while trying out less safe builds and doing content I couldn't push without extreme luck prior. I do prefer the mindless grind of mapping more than story...

    It'd probably be way faster to farm the 50-60 chaos or whatever Oni is now than to farm for him if you are at the point of mapping. I got mine in 5 hours but a lot of people spent/are spending 10-20+. I still pop in with my other characters a couple dozen resets a day and haven't seen another...

    If I don't particularly care about killing uber anything until late in the league when I can afford my end game gear is the best way to complete the atlas from buying maps? I've never pushed higher than yellow maps previously and I was mostly winging it.

    Grim Dawn

    It's true. I still don't understand how to craft correctly in PoE which is why I skipped SSF this league, but Grim Dawn has Shaman primal strike/savagery which is like my favorite build in any ARPG. So satisfying.

    My friend started a couple days ago and last night asked me if exalts were worth anything. He's gotten 2 already and is only L48. I ended up selling them for him and buying the gear for his build that he wanted. Needless to say he's happy and loving the game.

    I'm playing Molten Strike Jugg w/ Oni on softcore currently to test how it'll play out on hardcore. I died twice while while getting to maps (granted my gear is pretty shit since I am ssf) so I don't know if I'm going to play it now or try a summoner build. It is fun though and my DPS is crazy...

    They don't have access to the internet? Cause that's what we use if we need to recruit and it doesn't take more than one person sending a few emails, getting some proofs and finalizing approvals. I guess if you're totally inefficient at your job that seems like a lot of work?

    Well I had 6 characters chain running them, but ya I'd say it was lucky. I was about to give up and take a break if nothing hit by hour six. Both dropped for each hc/sc about the same time at about 4 bubbles into L7. Got really lucky too with early move speed boots + shield on all chars so I...

    I work for a large multinational media company so I'd say yes in my experience it's pretty easy to nab artists. Getting non derpy developers on a temp basis is pretty much aids though.

    Regardless of the semantics of what defines a studio it's not like hiring a temp artist is difficult. They can clearly make enjoyable games, but they lack the desire or effort to produce something more visually appealing and that is a turn off with the amount of options available to spend your...

    Man impale DH is crazy strong. I ended up getting the shadows set while farming for the unhallowed set last night and pushed to GR80. Think that is a good quitting point with two characters at GR80 and PoE season starting today. Was a good waste of a week be back in S14 =O

    For sure. When I was big into fighting games and dealing with their online play it was always pretty bad. I just ignore him at this point and let it do it's thing. He usually provides a knockdown for me to do more DPS and if it isn't tempered doesn't do enough damage to me to worry.

    With the sheer amount of out of work/under worked talented graphical artists why are studios still pumping out these potato graphics when the specs to run these games are trivial?

    Yeah MH:W Xbox has some issue with people being unable to join your SoS. I tried changing pretty much every setting on the console and game, but no luck. As far as the older series it functioned better, but I wouldn't say it was great at least on console. For how big budget this game was and...

    Yeah I rarely group outside of playing duo friends who are still slogging through story mode. No one joins my SoS on Xbox regardless of all the settings I have messed with and the "fail to join" crap is obnoxious since it usually happens 10-15 times before I get a successful entry. I stopped...

    You can counter-thrust without guard and I'm pretty sure you can outright block it as well without guard, but I rarely straight block since it takes away from damage. Most of the non damage set perks (earplugs/tremors/windproof/guard etc) are negated by good play since you can block, roll or...

    Don't even need guard on Lancer tbh. The only things you can't block without it is Teostras explosion which I just flash pod. I run white sharpness, 100% affinity full damage on my lancer build 99% of the time most tempered are limping before my mantle / heal boosters wears off. Just get good at...

    If you have monsters leaving the area you're in expedition. Just follow assigned/optional story quests and you have until the quest time limit ends to beat the monsters. I'd highly recommend not using SOS until you're in the "end game" of farming tempered investigations or maybe if you need to...

    Yeah regular torment is not hard at all. If you want some difficulty turn it up, but it's better to be efficient. T6 is a sweet spot until you are geared enough to run T11+ imo.
