    There is a tank summon. They're permanent, but Bahamut is a temporary replacement, you have 3 main summons otherwise, Ifrit which is melee DPS, Titan which is tank and Garuda which is ranged DPS, they come with their own skills and you have to micro them a bit at times. You can reskin them to...

    You might want to wait like a couple more MSQ and that'll unlock travel to other cities, it's like lvl 15. Bard is fine, pretty boring at low lvl though and very active at higher levels, you basically get a ton of procs and low cd stuff coming up at all times to weave in your basic rotations...

    Basically the original classes "morph" into jobs at 30 by equipping a a job crystal, and you still gain marauder xp even as a warrior. As for DPS it's kinda up to you, what appeals to you in terms of style and design. You could level another tank too if you prefer just to have more optons...

    You do need to do the quest that requires a crafter to open the vendor though as I was saying. I remembered the quest wrong though, the one you need for Emperor stuff is Absolutely Glamorous, the quest to learn how to make glamour prisms that follows the quest to learn how to glamour. You do...

    Well anything with self cast lightning is going to love this since so many builds run MoM nowadays too. And since Storm Brand seems pretty popular, that'd be definitely worth several exalts.

    Probably because there's not much money to make selling these. You need craft lvl... 15 I think it was?. It took me like 5mins with Road to 60 to get one high enough to unlock it though, just bought a bunch of materials from the guild vendor there and crafted a bunch of random shit for first...

    You can actually meld stuff with a NPC nowadays, in all major cities there's a materia melder NPC(look for a blue orb icon). You can also get someone else to meld stuff for you via a menu, but with the NPCs it's a waste of time, that's how the quest was done back in the day though. The only...

    Also avoid the trailer if you don't want a bunch of spoilers, as usual. The content of the MSQ seems VERY exciting, but yeah shit's like spoilers upon spoilers especially if you haven't finished the MSQ up to 4.4. The BLU stuff they've shown got me really excited for the class again. We'll see...

    I didn't bother with a single sidequest and still have more than enough xp on my other account. I think I hit 50 on both chars and I was still on like lvl 44MSQ or something like that. Only sidequests I did were the ones in Uldah where I started to get from lvl 1 to 5 to get going, after that...

    I hope they make these necessary in the MSQ at some point though, because so many people still skip them and suck. You get a nice ring for xping too, especially when leveling more chars. Mentor channel is a mixed bag, really depends on your server. On some it's good, on others it's just...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    The historical low is 22€, on Steam, a year ago. The devs decide the sales, they don't want to make it cheaper evidently. The fact many devs never reduce their base price lower than 60bucks and then don't do sales for much more than 50% means a lot of games don't get discounted even several...

    It's been that way for like, 5+years? The 3rd parties basically cut their share to less than the 30% steam requires, to do better prices. Steam is ok with that because they get traffic and people end up buying shit on Steam eventually. 3rd parties don't sell everything(especially indie games)...

    Tanks are great for solo leveling, since they take reduced damage so you rarely have to wait for health to come back, and they do very decent damage with their DPS stances(higher than healers, lower than DPS). On top of that as mentionned, they have the fastest dungeon queues, making all the...

    Was it maybe Extreme, like at lvl 50? Because the normal and hard mode Garuda are really not super complicated. Mind you at release people were a lot shittier at the game in general, lots of FFXI players, people who had never played mmos and such and no one was used to the XIV raid style just...

    Hmm technically it's possible to fail the story stuff sure, but multiple times? Really unlikely tbh. I've done all the ARR old content when I was playing and even the "hard" stuff is pretty easy nowadays since most of the players are higher levels getting roulettes and stuff. Also for all the...

    You can find houses on populated servers nowadays though, other than Balmung obviously, as long as you're not picky about where you buy the house. With the demolition shit there's a lot of spots being vacated constantly, mostly small houses though. That said you can also just buy an appartment...

    Oh also if you're buying new, some info about the what to buy etc: The starter edition is the base game, comes with a month free, capped at 50, can't make Au'Ras(dragon scales race) but otherwise not much difference until 50+ so you can just grab that to get started, there's A LOT of stuff to...

    I don't know about the forum's guild, there's a few people playing but it seems fairly fragmented, I'd give it a day or two for people to check the thread and answer that. For the population balance, it's pretty well balanced nowadays, there's not too many servers and they did another promotion...

    Well getting your old account matters if you want to get your old account, that kinda depends on what's on it, how much you played etc. Doesn't really matter much though. Getting your info back is easy if you don't have an authenticator linked to it and you have access to your email you...

    AT pubs sounds like a nightmare I haven't even bothered. I guess some might be easier but Vaal you'll basically always get one retard who doesn't have miasma so he has half hp the entire fight, no health boost either, maybe don't even use a max pot or whatever so they have like 30hp and just die...

    It's worth unlocking at least 2 dungeons(any of them will do) for the 50/60 queue to get poetics. Maybe also the first 2 crystal tower 24man dungeons, for the alliance roulette for more poetics. Other than that, you can skip all the dungeons until you feel like doing them to see them. You should...

    Is there even that much stuff to double weave on BLM? Isn't it just like Sharpcast lining up with Triplecast and Triplecast having to be used regardless of GCD(so it clips most of the time unless you happen to have thundercloud up) and then Leylines sometimes but you can probably slide it during...

    I've used a random VPN back when there were routing issues with Telia and I was getting a shitton of packetloss and it was great for that, but for ping the results tend to often be a lot smaller unless playing from australia or whatever. Might be worth trying but probably won't make miracles...

    Really depends on your tastes but you can play a bunch of game with a mouse only, without actually needing high precision or whatever, so as long as you have an ambidextrous mouse you could just use that. If not buy a crappy cheap one or a trackball/trackpad/what Dom said so you can use that...

    Subnautica

    I bought it last sale since it was on sale at a decent price. Luckily it was on sale at a good price on Steam so that's where I bought it, which mean I asked them for a refund and even though it was like 3 or 4 weeks ago they still refunded me fine.

    Scroll up like 2messages? It's free on Epic store, not on Steam. Epic store giving games for free to get people to switch, next one is Super Meat Boy which is kinda whatever since it's so old and bundled 150times with random shit but this one's a pretty good starter.

    Monster Hunter: World

    Oh I don't know much about Bow, but it might not be that easy on this fight because of the miasma shield shit that blocks shots besides the head when he's enraged, making it more annoying. Also I guess if you're in front of it constantly you might be baiting a lot of charges which isn't good as...

    Path of Exile

    Most of the standalone items are for whales, which there's a lot of in this game. Other people tend to buy packs, which at 30-60bucks are generally fairly good value, since you get armor/weapon effects/pets/portrait frames/portals/whatever, and then most of that money in currency to buy tabs or...

    Monster Hunter: World

    You need to make sure to have miasma resistance 3 and health augment on the weapon, then it's honestly pretty easy. I did wipe once on my first try, which is more than AT Kirin, I went with Lance but only guard1 cause I assumed most attacks were light enough but turns out it wasn't the case and...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Sessions you mean? It's kinda weird yeah. I guess also for KT you have to go to the boat room thing at the top because you can only enter KT from there for some reason. I don't mind the rooms so much on PC though, because SSD loadings make them fairly irrelevant, however watching videos on...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Oh yeah the game is fragmented for sure but they could change some of that shit. The main "city" thing is one big area and has most features. Your room being instanced is fairly typical for mmos(housing and shit), the top boat area I feel is specifically made to allow faster grouping and shit...

    Monster Hunter: World

    What do you mean rooms? If you mean the mini zones, that's like, the old MHs, World is a few large areas. Size isn't quite as large as a mmo zone, but probably could be if they designed them to be. If you mean the 4player shit, then yeah obviously the game was designed for 4man so it works for...

    I didn't say AT KT wasn't new content, I said the weapons weren't content. As for no new content at all, I didn't say that either, you said that I did which isn't really the same thing, I said after this wave of content, there's nothing until the expansion which is pretty far away, in autumn...

    Adding new weapons to Kulve isn't content though? Like I don't consider adding gear content. Kulve itself is the content, the gear is the reward for clearing the content. They're adding new rewards sure, but that's hardly new content. And KT loot system is terrible. And good loot came from...

    Yeah leveling alts is a bit grindy due to mostly spamming stuff, but it goes relatively fast. DRK storyline is great too, all 3 of them, definitely the best of the job stories overall although a couple others are also very good. There's quite a lot of fillers in the MSQ but the parts that...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I pointed that out before but I don't think it's any harder to understand than say Hearthstone. The only reason HS has a big viewership is because it has a big playerbase, so there's many people who know how it works. I use my own experience when I say that but everytime they release a new...
