    Yeah seems it was a different person, don't know who though, kinda looked the same.

    Yeah I usually wait the next expansion to farm mounts cause they increase the drop rate further and it's easier unsynced(although not sure how much easier it's gonna be this time). I have a couple of the dragons from normal play but don't really want to bother farming them now although the mount...

    She's that SAM streamer right? I didn't recognize her at first cause she dyed her hair blonde but I saw a picture of her stream in that video from before and she looks like that one streamer that played a bunch of SAM in the last couple of tiers of savage, she was doing the whole streamer "raid...

    Always the case, relics are basically just for replacing tome weapons in certain patches/if you're catching up, and for glamour. And largely for glamour, that's why I don't bother making them on all classes and only just check which class has good looking ones. While it's a bit sad, ultimately...

    The crafting gear, Aesthete stuff, for crafters. Crafters don't scale the same and melding makes it better than it is, so crafters can usually go all the way to the next cap without having to switch gear if you have melded gear. Combat classes(using exarchic) will replace all their shit by the...

    The crafting gear at least stays relevant a bit longer than the combat gear. A solid crafting set will last you all the way to 90 and until you craft the new 90 there, and if it's BiS pentamelded, some slots can probably last until 6.1 new crafting gear depending on how hard they make it. That...

    Cluster farm in Bozja give memories for one of the first steps(the HW FATEs one iirc). Cluster farm in Zadnor doesn't give anything.

    They already said they "can't do it", for whatever reason. So yeah have to cheat to get back progress, and cheats probably won't be available right away, although it depends on how it's coded I guess. But yeah a couple weeks after release I expect it'll be pretty simple to just generate saves...

    RDM is in the comments also, pretty much same class, a new defensive cd like ranged phys(which also increases healing done), embolden works for everyone and one cool qol thing is you can now "hold" Verholy/flare after the melee combo, the combo gives you Mana Stacks and holy/flare consume 3...

    Some of these are pretty poorly made, with wrong categories as a whole or just some spells in the wrong categories or wrong info, but nice to see some tooltips. NIN changes seem weird, basically everytime you raiton, you then get 2 weapon skills to follow up? That sounds like it'll be clunky as...

    They have a tooltip overlay, I don't really know what it does cause all that shit's blocked and I'm too lazy to figure out what I need to unblock, but basically lets you see tooltips of abilities/items/talents, so you can just read the stuff if you don't know what it does(especially nice if you...

    As I said, off hours, instances aren't full, middle of the night and stuff. Sometimes they spawn faster but depends a bit on who's inside and what they're doing. It's also gonna be annoying to get into Dalriada for the same reason, I need to adjust my sleeping schedule a bit to match more...

    Well the fates are fine, I'm short on the first area one and missing a few on 2nd, but 3rd is done even, it's just the CE stuff that's slow as fuck and I want to do raids for. CEs only pop like every 15mins or whatever, so yeah taking a while. I'm not in a super hurry just annoying. Also NDA...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This "one time only" last step on current relic is pretty brutal. I got a fair bit of the easy memories off Zadnor FATEs, but the CE ones are obviously super low, and now I have to farm like 60-70 old raids and that sounds pretty terrible. Doesn't help I've been playing offhours, so I can't get...

    Don't know about that, seems just as likely Chris played D2R and got that nostalgia going and decided to add some stupid shit to the game too. And the upvoted posts since the announcements(both of the heterogeneous armor choice and then the orb) have been neutral to negative on reddit, so not...

    Crafted gear has materia slots, and can be overmelded(so they technically have 5 slots worth of materias on every piece). You can get much better stats out of the crafted gear, and especially CP which usually isn't available on most white scrip gear while you can get 3+ on every piece of...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    It is pretty standard to be either fully customizable chars, or to have set characters with storylines with low customization plus generic fully customizable characters yeah, at least with the modern stuff.

    Path of Exile

    Pretty much all the dot stuff was nerfed indirectly. The buffs don't compensate for the losses of EE and EO. Basic math with current knowledge seems to be about a 20% loss, the better item mods and potentially skill points you can assign to other stuff should even that out a bit, but it's...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    What I read recently is they're working on a DLSS-like solution, and that's why they have the 4K dev kits, to make the games in 4K then be able to use their new tech to train AIs to render that shit better on standard Switches. Which does kinda make sense, seems better to just have games...

    I mean other than the super delay on first day, and the stupid fake crowd sounds spam early in the 2nd day(they reduced/turned it off midway), it's dota. I don't really watch all the other shit anyway, just the games, and the games are good so far, lots of picks and lots of strats. Production...

    I wonder if it'll be the full soundtrack though, considering they probably lost a bunch of licenses by now and iirc they had to remove songs from previous GTAs over time on digital marketplaces. But yeah I remember just driving around with the music back in the days, last GTA I actually played...

    Well the math is already kinda done, you don't get more auras per se, but you get aura tresholds easier. There's a nice table on reddit that shows how it works. In this example you can see you can for example run 2 50% auras and a 25% aura at 25% efficiency(albeit with 0mana left so you'd need a...

    Well reservation is a buff for most people, just a nerf for aura bots. Aura effect is a small-ish nerf for normal players and a huge one for aura bots. Same for curses I think. EE change looks like a huge nerf to non-dot EE builds, elemental hit/wild strike that switched and minions mostly...

    DRK definitely gets "shafted" on new stuff, although I'll probably play it some cause I like how braindead it is currently, so for doing EX roulettes and shit I like just turning my brain off and DRK provides exactly that, used to be PLD back in ARR/HW/SB and now it's DRK. They should have made...

    PLD got some nice changes. Spirits Within doesn't have the penalty for not being full hp anymore, and with a 80+ trait becomes an aoe. Intervention is nerfed down to 10% dmg reduction increase for Sentinel or Rampart active, but also gets a 80+ trait that gives it another 10%(so 10%base, 10%...

    Path of Exile

    That's a lot of buffs. A few nerfs here and there(or in some cases, a cancellation of the buffs, like some of the strongest unique flasks) but overall it seems much improved. The planned changes to auras/curses also sounds interesting, nerfing their powers for aurabots but buffing them for low...

    Yeah I've been using the Makai fists(from the Garo collab) and that's basically the same style of weapon, very simple weapon design and some effects over your hands, I much prefer that compared to the usual oversized claws and other cestus-like stuff. I liked the Tonfas too though, but figure...

    I think I stopped before that step cause I didn't like it too much, and I wasn't really playing MNK either so I did the DNC weap instead, but DNC last step looks like ass so I'll just finish with MNK, need to do a bit of farming inbetween but nothing too big, the relic this time around is pretty...

    Yeah out of the new relics the only one I find ok looking on a class I'm planning on playing is MNK. Maybe WHM/AST too but honestly don't think I'll play these too much with Sage coming out anyway. So I'm just gonna finish Monk and leave it at that. I already had started too cause the Monk first...

    They posted the schedule so I guess it's not skill changes and just "balance changes", which sounds like a lot of nerfs.

    Savage is like 48man complex stuff, similar to Eureka's last dungeon Baldesion's Arsenal. Normal DR is the thing you can queue for, has a weekly and is needed for a few relic steps. You won't see a PF for it since it's easy to just clear with normal queues, unless people are specifically doing...

    I'd expect summoner will be safe regardless. Although I could see them nerfing spectres yet again, or supports or whatever, the usual. Past that not sure about any of the older stuff. Iirc they were planning on fortify rework that didn't make it last league, something about making it more shit...
  34. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    That's A LOT of justification though. I expect they're going through some old skills and buffing a bunch of shit instead/too. Not big changes necessarily, but small buffs to lots of things and hope some new stuff comes out in a decent state. Like if you take every low performing melee skill and...

    Googling it quickly cause I didn't remember for sure, IV(the first 3DS game) started the automapping, but it's the "partial" automapping option, where it only colors the ground tiles you're walking on, you still have to draw the walls. Starting Untold 1(which is a remake of EO1 with additional...

    You can draw directly with the mouse, it emulates the touch screen perfectly like that. I set the automap option to full(it draws walls and ground tiles as you walk next to/on them) so I don't have to do it too much though, but whenever I want to draw stuff in the distance or add things, I just...

    Oh nice they actually have higher rez textures in that, not just the resolution increase, looks actually pretty decent. Looking forward to grabbing this, assuming I'm done with FFXIV by that time, otherwise I'll just grab it after. Wonder if updates are still gonna be delayed though or if...

    On Citra, you can just display the main screen and switch screens on a button(F9 by default but can rebind), or use different sized screens if the other screen is somewhat relevant. In my setup, the main screen is like 3200 x whatever and the other screen is much smaller fitting in the rest of...

    Seems the date of the 3.16 announcement stream leaked via twitch, Oct 14th, I'll let you calculate the time(says 2 to 8PM central on the screen), stream will probably just rerun constantly for drops which is why it's that long. Main points of interest of next league is they're reworking the...

    Did you look into emulation? If you need the portable aspect it's not necessarily great I guess, but for playing at home it's much better imo. I've been playing Etrian Odyssey Nexus the past couple of weeks on emulator, using Citra and it basically runs perfectly, the filters to smooth it out...
