    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Next expansion is around summer 2021, so over a year, although the final content patch should be around april. We're basically about in the middle of the current expansion. Sales could be around the corner though, so might be worth waiting if you have something else to play. Could also try...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well they do that shit on PC too so I don't know how true it is but we'll see. Still don't think the xbox being capped at 2tb internal is such a great idea and then the issue that the special xbox 1tb SSD they sell you is some overpriced shit like the PS Vita proprietary memory cards.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    Lineage 2 is still running too iirc though and is actually relatively popular, they even ported it to mobile somewhat recently. A lot of the sequels are just bad games that are worse than the originals though so that's kinda the problem. Isn't just a korean problem though, Asheron's Call 2 was...

    I doubt it'll be that big of a deal, loadings feel like they have diminishing returns, once you're down to like 5secs loading, making them 3seconds instead is nice but also kinda whatever. As long as you're not waiting 20-40secs like HDD loadings, I don't think it's too important. Xbox looks...

    If you're not on steam you can check for physical versions and stuff. Looking at Amazon.fr it's 18euros atm for the PC disc version. But yeah the digital never goes down, just sales every now and then. And the steam version is the same but with less sales.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I edited it but it's not a generic slot per se, they'll be testing commercial drives and release a compatibility list, because they have various requirements like speed(need to be PCIe 4.0 at least) and obviously size(I assume they'll have one of the smaller slots instead of the full length ones).

    Hmm if the PS5 has a NVMe generic slot that's pretty big compared to the proprietary 1TB only slot on the xbox. Obviously you can just plug some shit via USB but being able to add a 2tb(or more) NVMe directly inside and not have a disk floating around, plus the obvious bandwith limitations of...

    Demo is up today btw on PS4 and I assume switch and should come in a couple of hours on Steam too(I think when Steam does their daily update at 10AM PST). I'm definitely fairly excited about this, looks great.

    Doom: Eternal

    I don't like him as a streamer, but his success I think is understandable, he's been streaming for a long time, he streams quite a lot and regularily and he plays a lot of the newer games and many genres that aren't otherwise played nearly as much, he's kind of like the "niche" game streamer...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah augmenting armor only increases the upgrade cap so you get more defense, it's pretty good once you get to tempered elder dragons hunting though since those hurt a lot and with normal defenses you can get one shot by some stuff. To augment armor you need generic tier 3(elder dragons and...

    Not 100% sure that's what you mean but at the bottom of the tree there's a dropdown list that says Default and if you click it you get Manage Trees. This lets you add new trees. You can use that for example to compare 2 different pathing and see the differences which is useful for endgame...

    I see there's a new instant dodge mechanic tied to the yokai you're using, does that mean they removed the R1 dodge at the end of combos to regenerate stamina and dispel yokai fields there was in the first game? These doubled as dodges for certain weapons once you unlocked the passives for them...

    Monster Hunter: World

    If you check the transmuting lady, any materials in the list means you already have killed it. Note that killing tempered monsters also unlock the normal material, so you only need to kill that if you want to limit how much stuff you're killing. After that you kinda need to make a list. There...

    Every god has several movement skills, although they differ in how they move, some are not targeted but have lower range/higher cooldowns. Also iirc they can be dropped in your shared stash so you just need a char in each faction to get them all. You also get the better higher level versions...

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah I mentionned that quickly but it's very expensive to do, so you need to spend some time farming. That said I haven't played since FG's release and they added a new dungeon in there so maybe it drops some of the rare materials you needed to do the recipe which would definitely help. It's...

    The one I used, I forgot the name but it's the one that also lets you cheat if you want to, like full resets including base class and add items and what not, I used the cheats sparringly to fix shit I didn't care about like having to farm every rep and remember where every single stupid enchant...

    Grim Dawn

    The DLCs are definitely very good, although you could just play through the base game first and see what's up, but the game improves a fair bit with expansion content, both for additional classes and just because the DLC content is harder and more fun as a result. Item droprate stuff is popular...

    Well experiences vary I guess, I got disconnected once early on then played like 8hours without a hiccup(well my ISP did the monthly reset shit since it was 4AM so I got disconnected for that too but unrelated to game servers). I had a couple of ocassions where I had to click on the zone 4-5...

    I'm not leveling as spectres, but it felt fairly noticeable yeah, they kept dying so I had to put them on minion life link with zombies.

    Your build kinda makes no sense, seems like you just picked random things together, I'd assume that was your first build? It has molten strike AND vaal double strike, but also traps for some reason, and it's full uniques which is generally 100% a newb trap since uniques are often situational and...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I mean personally I don't like full support, my "support" build also has basic damage(100% affinity and some attack from brute tigrex armor for free meal 3). So I have affinity+health, like on everything else. The scaling for health regen is terrible past the first point too(first is like 7.5%...

    I'd say it's worse if you just want to run one map over and over, but it's better in terms of how it integrates and makes more "sense" than having to remove maps out of your atlas and shit. You're looking at like 60-80% chance to get the map you favorited 3times depending on how many other maps...

    Yeah the Oro fire build is pretty common and most of the chains of command builds I've seen use it, but we don't have concrete numbers on +lvl past 20, I kinda expect the scaling will be a bit crazy with 28-29, and if they keep scaling the cap it'll also be just a bunch more weapons compared to...

    Oh no that doesn't matter, because the gem has a special bonus for lingering blades that makes them into the best daggers in the game(and probably the best 1H melee weapons in the game), with a base damage of 23-90 and speed of 1.5(Sai is 22-88 with a speed of 1.35 for comparison). And it...

    Biggest concern so far I have with AW is the mana cost. It's high(not retarded like live, but still), and you kinda want to reserve a lot cause so many good auras. I think for mapping it won't be so bad since you can "ramp up" but for bosses it's gonna be quite messy to summon...

    Path of Exile

    You vastly underestimate how Archmage works. First it checks the BASE cost of the spell. So in that case, it compares 6% of your unreserved mana to 5. Obviously 6% is going to be higher in most cases unless you reserve everything. Then once it picked 6%, that's the BASE cost of the spell, not...

    You can only support the base rune laying skill with totems, the 2nd active can't be tied to a totem you have to channel yourself. So it can't be done as a pure totem build.

    Grim Dawn

    From the top of my head, xp potion is max rep from the rep in Ashes of Malmouth last part(rebels or whatever). They're expensive at low lvl though. The stones that unlock difficulties are from the Forgotten Gods reputations(whichever you pick). Reps in general is something you want to max on...

    Veteran was added during early access/beta back when there were only 2 acts, and it made a lot more sense then, but unless you really just want the "challenge", it's not really worth it. Hell for rerolls it's not worth it either, if you go far enough in Forgotten Gods, you can get tokens that...

    Well it seems to hold on its own tbh, I don't know how easy/hard it is to craft wands nowadays but since this is kind of a mixed damage archetype(your attack damage is added to the spells supported by spellslinger and your caster mods on the wands obviously affect the spells that are triggered)...

    Path of Exile

    Depends on the build, but cyclone base cost is so low even with 5supports you generally only hit 6-8mana cost(obviously that's channel cost so it sucks that mana faster). At that rate, you need 2 to 3 jewelry reduction. Standard impale setup is impale, melee phys, intensity, fortify, brutality...

    It's pretty common to be stat starved early. I almost always end up using a jade amulet for leveling(well when I play witch) and I grab the 30dex big node and sometimes even the 20dex notables in witch start/templar start even though they take 2points. I just respec that crap out later. Also...

    Ranged attack? The big life boost should help as when I checked streams a big downside seemed to be people summoning ballistas and them dying literally 1secs later, so it was like a shitty self cast since you had to constantly resummon. No idea if it's worth it though, I hate totems generally...

    Because they didn't say it was removed, so not sure why you'd assume it was removed. They removed the part that buffs the gem it's supporting directly, but didn't touch the part that generates the buff. They didn't list the aggressive behaviour remaining on it either, so unless they removed...

    By tomorrow I expect a lot of the streamers will have their build videos up.
