    They also completely fucked up on what made XI nice, so that didn't help. I don't think it was "let's make FFXI again" as much as "let's make a better FFXI" and it failed at that, and apparently they hadn't paid attention to what the best game in the market was doing at the time(or for several...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    It's semiconductor chips. It's a widespread issue, affecting a variety of things other than just PC/console parts, such as car manufacturing. There's basically a bunch of factors, corona slowing down production at first, a drought in Taiwan where the main production of them is and a large demand...

    Ashes of Creation

    Griefing is griefing regardless of the goal of the game. It was griefing back in UO when we would loot people's houses because they were too dumb and carried their house keys on them, it was griefing in AC when we camped Shoji to kill new players as they logged in Darktide and stood no chance or...

    Well gil has a few purposes, mostly leveling crafting which lets you get more gil back, and buying gear that is crafted, for glamour or for stats(returning/new players, the crafted stuff is really good). It's a somewhat self contained purpose in that you can kinda ignore it entirely and not...

    Even for these it's of very limited use, people will link the place to go in chat and you can easily go there yourself, and if you needed to afk a 2 or 4 seater was enough to do that anyway, you're not gonna carry around 7 other people constantly, or even really at any point. Besides Eureka I...

    The explanation for the mount was that it was meant to be given away for people who bought tickets to the fanfest, and as such it was gonna be a very limited thing. They probably would have put another version later in the shop. There's no separation between cash shop and sub money, as far as I...

    They're likely going to nerf that step either next patch or one a bit after. It's a long ass step though, not nearly as bad as some of the previous relic grinds but by far the grindiest of the current relic. The 36 alliance raid is one time only(you can make additional relics without doing it)...

    New World

    Yeah I vaguely remember GW2 having boosts like this too, but they were basically a waste of money for anyone who had a fair amount of time. They were like 10 or 15% xp or some shit, and you could level just fine without them and it really didn't fucking do anything because you'd hit the cap soon...

    The key art btw: Looks really nice. Woman on top definitely related to the end of the story, multiple things it could be, she could be an important Sharlayan character that will get them to help us, could be Minfillia 2.0(as Hydaelin's voice), could be an Ascian(there is a mask which would...

    Kinda surprising, thought they'd add them eventually but with the corona stuff I thought they'd cut them and add them either later in the expansion or next expansion. Good for people who wanted them I guess, didn't care for female viera either.

    I was expecting late october/mid november, so about expected, they did this shit when they announced "Spring" then released like the last day of spring. Guess plenty of time to clear out stuff I wanted to do before the release.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I don't think you'll find anyone arguing that, FFXIV has easily some of the worst pvp in any mmo ever, it's just absolutely not made for pvp, and they've not really made much effort into making it good(they've made it less bad I guess, but it's still horrible). It's definitely not a game you'd...

    So it seems it's indeed the Scythe class, although it's some weird magitek scythe like the GNB weapon, I thought it'd be a smaller blade lighter scythe like Sice in Type0. Nvm the cosplay doesn't have the whole magitek, I guess only Zenos' does.

    There isn't really a point to it. I guess you could make an argument for relic area transportation, but unlike Eureka which unlocked mounts at the end of a given zone, the current one Bozja unlocks mounts right away so there's no real need to mount share like there used to. Plus you can easily...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They technically didn't say that, the original message was confusing and the translations were somewhat varied too which didn't help, but it wasn't necessarily about the new class, they were just noting the gearing situation(although some translations were seemingly about the GCD of DRG?). It...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Dawn of War did it like that, you could only play the one chapter that they even made up for the game, the Blood Ravens. I think it works fine, and you can add more Space Marines chapters as DLC after that. I'd say the bigger issue with 40k is the scale and concepts are way different. In Dawn...

    Ashes of Creation

    Yeah it was really shit, I picked up BDO a few weeks ago to try it again, and the way they do skills is absolutely fucking terrible. They frontload most of the skills, and not only that but the skills have input commands(like Shift+F or back+RMB or whatever) and you can't change these, nor...

    New World

    Looking at the dungeon run video, it looks more than fine. It's not the best looking game but for a mmo it's fine, and actually does some pretty nice looking effects and stuff. The animations are kinda bad but that's a different problem I'd say that the game looking good or bad, can have the...

    Yeah and the daily things are often optional, like Beast Tribes offering cosmetics rewards and xp, Squadron mission being just guild buffs and some scrips/money/whatever, Treasure map being just a bit of money, Cactpot being just MGP, Centurio/Nuts being mostly for xp and some cosmetics(item...

    The previous tier was definitely a lot longer than usual, but this one's the usual. 4.4 to ShB release was 10months. It's just how it goes at the end of the expansion, x.5 lasts like 6+months everytime. Not having a ultimate does impact the content for some people, but a lot of people never even...

    Path of Exile

    They're definitely beta testing that for PoE2, but they really should be doing live tests on everyone for shit they're not sure is at least stable. I was thinking about it before and there's no reason they don't make these tests opt-ins only. People who want to check out the new tech that...

    Thought "neat Alien Isolation I wanted to give that a try some day", load up the launcher and... I apparently already own it? Guess it's been free before, and I didn't remember I got it before. Fucking Epic, I have like 15 free games there I should go through some of them at some point(and I...

    Oh I'll do that on my way back from Valencia thx, I have it but didn't get it started, wasn't sure what it rewarded, only knew it was needed for enhancing something(blackstar I guess) but since I'm not enhancing shit for now I didn't bother.

    Black Desert

    Yeah I was getting Asula cause I figured I'd need to grind my Mystic to 56 anyway so that was xp. Also had to do story quests in helms for a while so just cleared the 500 there one shotting them with my Witch. I got one of the red sand rings already and will get the other soon-ish, pretty far...

    Black Desert

    This Black Abyssal thing is weird. I was on the quest(just didn't know what the quest was for, black spirit has dozen of fucking quests), just hadn't started since I just got to Mediah on this char. Anyway started the quest, kept doing the main story for a few hours too, came back to town after...

    Black Desert

    Ah now that's useful to know, there's so much stuff in this game, unless you know specifically what to google for it's hard to find info, thanks I'll go read that and do the questline. Doesn't help that there's apparently no guide for it from grumpy or evildousharm so that's the first time I...

    Black Desert

    Yeah I was just wondering if anyone had like a "technique" for fast rerolling but I guess a lot of people already have every class they like or a lot of gear to throw around so it doesn't matter(if you have PEN accessories you get so much AP you can wave a stick and kill shit regardless for...

    I literally mentionned Kaia in the post you quoted, but you can only rent at 45, so you still need a weapon to get to 45. And Oasis we've been talking about them all of last page yeah. But I found it in the youtube guide, I must have skipped past it before and forgot, you can buy Ornelia...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    FFXV took a while too(4months after the year exclusivity), and the exclusivity might be longer, especially if Sony thought it'd make a good flagship series for the PS5 early library. They might have bought exclusive rights until the 2nd ep is released or whatever, don't really know.

    Black Desert

    Well talking about the grind to 56 then run stuff, rather than do the story as you go. It's faster that way it seems, although you do have to do the story after that anyway so not sure how much faster. I know when leveling directly it's straight forward, you get tons of upgrade stones for Naru...

    Black Desert

    There's one in Velia so you can buy everything right away on a new char, just not sure if that shit's staying on getting deleted though. It's not even supposed to be in the game I think? But anyway can't use them till 56 that's why I was asking about weapons options for lvling, just random shit...

    Black Desert

    Na I mean weapon for 1-56, yeah at 56 oasis is fine. Can't do tuvala anymore but yeah Naru is the same, but again that's just armor(well can do weapon but only useful when you roll the mirror gender class).

    Black Desert

    The life stuff is pretty fun, been spending way too much time setting up random stuff, worker shit, cooking stuff, fishing overnight and what not, still haven't really gotten into the thick of it yet but I like a bunch of the aspects of it. Haven't made too much progress on the leveling side...
  34. Pyros

    Black Desert

    Oh yeah my goal is just to lvl random shit to 56-61 and see what I like, I've seen tier lists and stuff already but at this point they don't really matter when I haven't even hit 56 yet, which changes a ton of stuff anyway. My Mystic is like 52 something atm, doing Cliff's quests and hopefully...

    Black Desert

    MSQ is nice enough to have something to do, I know grinding is faster then going back for xp but actually reading text and stuff for now trying to follow the story. Pretty much every guide recommends doing it the first time anyway, it directs you to various places and stuff so you know where to...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Should definitely clear it now since you'll have to clear it before the next, although as long as you get it done before the reset after the patch it's not big loss. Want to do the 3rd one every week for the tome gear upgrade materials though. Relic upgrade isn't for like 1.5/2months anyway, so...

    Black Desert

    So been playing this for the past few days non stop, pretty cool game. Should have given it a chance earlier probably, although I don't see myself playing it longterm(but then again last time I picked up DFO to "check out the new classes" after playing it a little bit before, I ended up playing...

    Not sure where to post this and figured I'd ask here, anyone with prime that also doesn't care about Black Desert? They have a Twitch prime reward for it atm but I used it on a new account, turned out I had a bunch of tech issues so I made a steam account instead which didn't have the issues...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Limit Breaks are rare when you just get it, but they're pretty common later on. Especially with the accessories that give mp used > lb and atb used > lb. Later one on Tifa means you get 2-3 limit breaks per boss fight. Refocus is actually pretty good as a result, can pop it pretty early on and...

    Ah fuck it, can't get it to work at all on the normal version, no fucking idea what's wrong with it. Basically saves settings fine, but when I log in on a character, it doesn't recognize the file or whatever so it just resets to defaults. I tried locking the settings file to read only but then...
