    So it was just a driver issue then, which is pretty common for new launches like this. Interesting that the Linux driver somehow didn't have issues though, you'd think they'd fuck up that one especially.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Heirlooms are somewhat nice to have gear in all of these slots always up to date since quests aren't the greatest if you don't do sidequests or do older shit(cata items are fucking trash in the standard leveling iirc), but yeah they're not worth investing any money to upgrade them unless you're...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    While it looks pretty it also looks really hard to read(the branches aren't clear enough) and the tree aspect seems kinda random since the skills don't look like different versions but just different spells altogether, just put in a tree fashion. Could just be because it's still placeholders but...

    Demon’s Souls Remake (PS5)

    Eh, looks like a pretty nice remake(like not just shitty upscaling and higher res textures) of a fairly old game(so I barely remember anything about it making it a somewhat "new" experience) so I wouldn't mind paying full price on PC, but not getting a PS5 anytime soon so I'll grab it on...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's faster than current 1-120, with xp boosts(current temp one and heirloom). At least on beta it was that much faster for me, and I did the BFA leveling without flying. It's just a shit ton faster and it does feel better since you get new things almost every levels, although sometimes the...

    Genshin Impact

    There's a post on reddit saying it does turn off but could just be china shills. Anyway this looked somewhat fun but it looked way too loaded with F2P/gatcha bullshit for me to enjoy.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't think they've said yet but haven't been following news too much. It's likely they'll have a conversion option like they did before, and the PS5 version will run higher graphics but it'll still be the same thing(basically like when you play on PC). Having a SSD for loading will make a big...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's just kinda the direction they went with during legion(maybe before too but legion especially with legendaries), and the whole "borrowed power" stuff, where basically a lot of classes barely function on their own and only become good once you have whatever is this expansion's flavor of...

    Oh yeah it's definitely a potential issue I think I mentionned it when I made the list of possible reasons not to go digital. Granted in most cases, you'd be the one initiating the chargeback so you know what you're getting into, but in some cases the bank might do some bullshit and you get...

    I mean Sony said it's up to the developpers to choose if they want free upgrades and a bunch of games are already announced with free upgrades. It's just Sony also decided to not apply this shit to their OWN game. Bunch of retards. Granted if/when I get a PS5, since I didn't buy Spiderman on PS4...

    With that FPS it doesn't actually do 8k gaming though. Granted you might be able to tweak settings and remove a bunch of stuff to make it run better, but then what's the point? There's just no reason to try to play at 8k right now, even next GPU gen might not be enough to do it decently. They...

    There are some lab enchants that don't display but are there a GGG dev said on reddit, so it's possible it's the same thing for these, probably worth keeping until they launch the league next week.

    Also the corona shit probably fucked up a lot of things, terrible year for new releases of anything.

    Final Fantasy 16

    It's not really a theme in XIV, it's somewhat of an exception on how the primals work. They are basically summoned out of strong feelings, generally by several people but in some rare cases by a single person and they are given form based on collective subconscious. Shiva isn't tied to a single...

    If you ever want to buy a limited edition or whatever then you'd be fucked, if you like selling your games, if Sony decides to ban your account and such, the usual. It's not really a big deal in most cases just something to remember. Biggest point I think would be buying games during physical...

    I saw a video about that stuff and it was before the pandemic like last year or something, they've been on life support in most of their shops for a while now but somehow are still not closed yet.

    The patch is possibly not necessary though so I'm just gonna keep going like that see how it goes and if there's weird shit I can download it after, doesn't really make a difference. Granted I'm at 19k anyway so doesn't really matter what I do. Hell I don't even know if I'll play more than a...

    Path of Exile

    You could macro the second cast but it sounds like a good way to die randomly because your stopped to cast twice in a row when you should have moved inbetween, like spell echo but without the faster cast speed. Ultimately it's probably better to just cast twice. In a lot of cases you're not even...

    Path of Exile

    Skill says the cooldown doesn't recover during its use and since it increases consumption every second, I guess at some point it'll run out. Chainbreaker also only converts the regen to rage regen, but your baseline rage regen is only 3(assuming no other sources I don't really know), so you'll...

    23% like usual, assuming you corrupt it right. If it's an active skill like Berserk, you can also enhance for a bunch more. Not too sure what's max lvl enhance but a corrupted lvl 4 enhance would be another 24%. It's 1% per quality though, it's 20% more for 20% quality. So you'd be basically...

    Man the summoner gems quality are all more or less trash, either just basic stats or just copy pasted(all the golems are the same and don't really change anything, they're just better for damage builds). Don't know if I want to bother with this league, might just wait a week or two for drops to...

    It doesn't in the trailer they uploaded on youtube that's in the thread, looked into it and apparently it said that on the trailer they've shown on the stream(I wasn't watching). They also declined commenting on it when asked by Gematsu Might still release on PC and they're keeping the...

    That sounds tedious as fuck tbh, skeletons are ok when they're the only thing you cast(besides offerings every now and then, if you do that manually) but having to both keep a "recently" buff up and summon skeletons is gonna be annoying. Also have to remember you're trading a minion wand for...

    Doesn't seem to say anything about it coming to PC, at least at release(I'm sure they'll port it after). Just that the rendering is done on a PC.

    Brutality, Viscious, Point Blank, Impale, Slower Proj, one of Fork/Chain/LMP/GMP/Volley/Pierce. Maim too if slower proj or point blank isn't good, and it's possible you'll want 2 of the projectile spread things for map clearing anyway like fork+lmp or whatever no idea how it plays out.

    Path of Exile

    My main issue with dom blow was that minions kill shit before you get a chance to hit if you're not zooming really fast, so it's somewhat "stressful" for a minion build cause if you stop hitting stuff you start losing minions and then sure you can hit them more easily, but you also have less...

    At the most basic level, it's for leveling alts, specifically the ones that you don't want to chain dungeons on(so DPS due to long queues and if you're bored of tanking/healing you can do that). You can however also farm it for glamour/money/titles/achievements etc. You can get for example...

    Oh the series S will definitely change some things around for parents and all that like you said but for current owners of systems that are planning to upgrade, they're most likely just buying the same system or changing because of reasons other than the price. Also I think Sony might eat a...

    You overestimate how much people care about the teraflops. People will still buy overpriced Apple products because it's Apple even if there's better and cheaper products, and for the most part consoles are the same. People are more likely to be swayed by a fancy exclusive game than by the...

    It's ok though they listened to all the feedback and you can now change your covenant every 2 weeks, so if you ever want to heal for some mythic after raiding as DPS, just wait 2 weeks.

    Looks like a small motherboard? Definitely smaller than mine as far as I can tell, and so the case is probably similar size which makes the card looks larger. In the video it doesn't look much bigger than the usual cards, maybe a little bit but not like gigantic.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    To be fair, it's not like the quests suddenly aren't fetch quests anymore. They most definitely still are the same shitty quest types, there's just less of them(with more cutscenes/text between), so it feels less grindy. Even Shadowbringers actual quests were some bullshit stuff, but it's a lot...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Well with new consoles there should be a decent jump in power required this time so getting a 3090 wouldn't be completely unnecessary(especially if you're looking at 4K). I'll probably wait until next year to upgrade, if I even do though, might just wait for the 40xx series instead.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I would assume the 2nd one is meant to be 449, but yeah doesn't sound too appealing unless the performance are crazy compared to a 3070, which seems somewhat unlikely. Nvidia has a ton of features that I'm not sure AMD has(granted I know fuckshit about AMD cards) so at equal performance there'd...

    Whole game not on sale is 60$ which is pretty standard for mmos I wanna say? Starter edition(ARR, the base game + Heavensward now so 1-60) is 20$ and Shadowbringers, which include past expansions too(now only Stormblood since HW was added to the core game) is 40$. When it's on sale, starter is...

    No reason to play them in order other than making sure you play them once each, I did mostly quickmatches/joining games in progress back when I played. If you don't get a map a bunch of times though you might as well look for it specifically to learn about it, since maps are very much a matter...

    In the Q&A there's a question about bosses and they're being obviously coy like "we'll let you find out by yourself wink wink" so yeah there will be. In a grand PoE twist the final boss is probably the cat with a monocle, turns out he was an agent of decay all along, driven mad by his insatiable...

    Sounds more like Syndicate, but without having to do the shit during your maps and opening menus and deciding shit while monsters can still attack you until you figure out how to optimize it. Honestly looks fine, but not sure how viable the stealth route is going to be with the nature of PoE...
