    Path of Exile

    Arc might still get nerfed. Interesting that they're going to be trying to rescale all spells at once. With the new supports some old shit will probably become OP again. Chaos Occultist should be pretty strong, since it's already pretty good but the new spell looks like it'll make it a lot less...

    The basic Magitek armor from FF6 is a reward for the final quest of ARR(the base game), it was basically the 2nd mount everyone got(well 3rd if people got the unicorn from the conjurer quest). There's then a golden ugly ass version as a reward for... something, forgot what and a white version...

    Well the advantage is pretty good but for a fairly short period of time until you've done the zone's MSQ part and unlock it normally, which doesn't take that long. I wouldn't say it's worth whatever the price they're asking for that bike, which iirc is expensive as fuck. For the forced...

    Eh, I wasn't really stressed since unless you play on a dead instance, getting a rez generally is a matter of 30seconds, maybe a few minutes if there's a FATE up at the same time(so ppl are busy). The only kinda stressful parts is unlocking the last quest in the area, which have you go in really...

    The losing xp part is kinda whatever, unless you're solo farming in a dead instance or something. If you die, all it means is you shout for a rez and wait for someone to come rez you so you don't take the penalty. The new systems are contained with Eureka and won't affect the next expansion...

    A few hours a day, you'll basically take a week per step or so. Anemos is shorter but Pagos is longer so should even out, so about a month total since there's 4 parts. Maybe less, maybe more, depends on how fast you're grinding and how much you're playing. It's fairly similar to doing another...

    I wouldn't say crappy gil rewards, you can make a fuckton of money spamming Eureka. Hell just doing it casually for the weapon I made like 10m(mind you I spent like 3.5m or whatever buying logograms so it wasn't all profit). If you specifically farm it for money, it's very lucrative. Also the...

    The only 3rd party stuff people use is ACT to parse and get damage meters working(also callouts and shit, there's a pseudo DBM kind of thing in there), but everything else is done via the ingame UI configuration, which is actually pretty well done, you can resize/alpha/move pretty much every UI...

    This is basically wow, maybe even easier to get back into it. They constantly add new catch-up methods and since they gear reset every expansion AND soft gear reset every major patch(moving the old top tier gear to easily farmable), even once you reach the current endgame, it only takes a couple...

    You get quests every few levels, but they're very basic. You only unlock mounts in a given area after doing the last quest in that area, which is at level cap(20 anemos, 35pagos, 50pyros, 60 hydatos). Basically mounts are only for farming more relic shit or doing your challenge log, never to...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Some people leave their lights on, makes it look like someone's in so would-be robbers would go to another house. Also can have the light be turned on when you get close by phone. And a lot of people still walk in their house with shoes on. Like not in most of asia, but europe/US, definitely.

    There's rats around Limsa. The tutorial is like 2mins, it's just eh this is how you move, eh this is a quest, go run to that other guy and turn it in. Then you turn it in, cutscene, and when you come out of the cutscene you're in the "real" world(before that you're in an instanced version of...

    All the story stuff is casual. The least casual part would be the original Coil of Bahamut raids, but since they're old you can just stomp them at 70 and while a couple have mechanics that will cause wipe, it's really just like "do the one thing at least semi competently to clear" now. The...

    Well it's always been pretty protective anyway and the new guidelines just give GMs the power to ban for saying stuff that is kinda bad but not technically racial slurs or whatever. That said I don't really speak much with people to begin with in the game, and rarely in a confrontational way, so...

    It has the feature, it's just turned off past the first couple months or so of the expansion. I guess they don't mind people afking. The block is on making new chars. You can always transfer unless the server is locked specifically for that, and that's only because of the actual pop, not...

    Haven't really tried this but you can generally do the same thing by just launching the game via Steam and using Steam controller config to create macros or different layouts or whatever. I'm not sure how you're removing stuff though, you still have to press buttons for them, and since they're...

    RDM. You can't really "solo" that much though, it's super inefficient past Anemos, and maybe solo grinding light in Pagos(but only at like 27-28+ so you can kill wolves quickly). Thing is Eureka is very much like old school ARR FATE leveling or hunts if you're in a hunt linkshell. You just sit...

    World visit is coming though. I'd expect the best way to enjoy the expansion will be to just fuck off to another world with less people and solo that shit with your Trusts so you don't have to deal with absolute fucking retards. That said a lot of people might also world visit somewhere else and...

    PLD will always feel kinda slow though even when you have the oGCDs. It's the more relaxed simple tank. WAR isn't much better imo, you do the big damage phases and shit but these mostly involve pressing one button repeatedly and weaving a couple of oGCDs in them. DRK is the only tank that kinda...

    I do think it'd be better if they would just let people pay for it now(which you can do already, there's an option for it if you prefer paying now so you know your finances and what not) and have access to the expansions though. With a caveat that they can't get a refund anymore. If they...

    You just make a new account with the code from twitch, then on your main account mogstation, find the refer a friend thing, click on it for your RAF code, then enter that on your other account and that's it.

    I wonder if they'll change the whale to 4seater, since it looks like there'd be enough room for 4 people on that big ass mount.

    Eureka, although it's kinda late for that. If the reworked Diadem shit they're planning uses similar Eureka leveling system or whatever though it'd be useful. Otherwise it's mostly glamour and what not. There's some fringe cases where you're running people through aether currents and say they're...

    I don't know the Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito interview was pretty funny too. Anyway also forgot to mention in case people haven't watched or whatever or want to test the game out. They'll have the Starter edition(base ARR game) free with Twitch Prime at some point in the future, march I think...

    That's why the music is great in this game, it's not all your standard stuff, it goes kinda all over the place, from J-rock Shiva and J-Pop Suzaku to Techno Alexander, the epic chorus into opener song Bahamut and the Indian themed Lakshmi, the orchestral big FATE music and the jazzy Gubal...

    Also worth noting, if you preorder the expansion, on the 1st of march, you'll receive the preorder ingame bonus items(instead of having to wait until release), and these include the Aetheryte earrings, which gives +30% xp up to lvl 70(so all current content) and have stats that scale with your...

    Already see a bunch of whining because it's a tank and not a DPS though, as expected. Same would have happened if the situation was reversed too. I4ll probably give it a try, although I'm not super excited about it. Anyway fanfest was basically what was expected. I guess the extended trailer is...

    They said they're reworking DRK, sais that in 4.3 or whatever already, but who knows how it'll end up. I don't think it's THAT bad currently, it's just, if you want the super defensive tank and best offtank due to utility, then it's PLD, and if you want the monster of damage, threat and main...

    Fanfest keynote in less than 24hours now, 9AM GMT, which is I believe 4AM EST/1AM PST, so pretty late for the US. Excited about the reveals.

    Yeah crafted is definitely the best if you can afford one. Especially since it's upgradeable to 390 with 700mendacity. Other choices for endgame would be, run Sigmascape V4.0 4times(need to clear all of deltascape and sigmascape first, as well as have 325ilvl to enter), then get 1000 mendacity...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    That's a terrible fucking argument. That's the exact same argument as people defending shitty mmos because wow launched the same way forever and a half ago. "Well you can't expect to make a product that's as good as their direct current competition, but you have to remember that 15years ago...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    There would probably be less people angry about this new exclusivity if it didn't happen 2weeks before release, was marketed on Steam and then people got told that instead they're getting Epic store versions of the game(minus some, digital preorders I believe?), and apparently only after cdkeys...

    I'd do the roulettes for xp, just use 70 dungeons and expert(once unlocked) for tomes. The other roulettes do give tomes for completion but not for the actual run, so it's not that much. I mean you get like 40 just doing a 70 dungeon without a 1st time bonus(which happens relatively often even...

    Only O4N had a tank swap though, and with enough DPS you can ignore it due to the debuff wearing off during transition, even back in 4.0 you could not bother tank swapping for it with decent players, kinda like Susanoo EX. Kefka doesn't have anything that would force a swap on normal and O12N...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Extremes/savage(and the original coil), generally. They don't do tank swaps in more casual content because people are fucking retarded or something. There's some casual fights that require 2 tanks but they're pretty rare(O12N recently for example). Generally what happens is in normal mode, the...

    I mean gunblade is the weapon I don't think the class will be called gunblade, that sounds kinda dumb.
