    The article kinda touch on this, but people are more likely to main or one trick heroes that have mechanical uniqueness and/or are off meta so they can always pick them. McCree is neither of these, he's been more or less meta forever(less so at times like back when he got ranged nerfed with the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Don't have a sub so can't confirm exact wording/position, but iirc in those cog options, select Undersized party. This will remove all level syncs and required numbers of people so you can enter solo or whatever. Note that being 54 to do 50 content isn't THAT easy still. There's massive bumps...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    One thing that I found pretty confusing, on the website it says the new Tauren race is Horde and the new Draenei race is Alliance? Why would they add races that are already similar to the same faction? Thought the point was to mix races, like how the other 2 are Blood Elves for alliance and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The game is designed so that the MSQ pretty much unlocks everything and gets you to do most content. There are things not in the MSQ and everything pretty much has a story. Honestly I'd just do the MSQ for now, it has a fair share of trial fights mixed in, not just primals too, and forces...

    Final Fantasy XI

    If there's some events going it takes more like a few days to hit cap. Longer the first time due to having to do all the limit break quests. Even without events it's stupidly fast nowadays, it's not so much trusts(although they help a lot), it's just you get a fuckton more xp than you used to...

    Oh I see it now, missed it somehow. If there's not a secondary reward like the tank queue shit then yeah it's fucking dead, 200 poetics is nothing. Shit poetics is nothing overall, you only need a finite amount, they don't really convert into much money or anything worthwhile, and you get so...

    Where did you see that? Datamining? Afaik they haven't said what the rewards are yet and the patch notes reading stream hasn't started yet? If it is 200 then yeah it's fucked and I assume they'll have to hotfix it cause no one's going to be able to clear it without getting help in a PF for...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah that's what I'm wondering about, while I don't care much about my old chars as I'd probably roll a new one, I'd want to restart on my old account, no reason to make a new one. I have up to wotlk only, haven't played since, I wonder if just resubbing would give me all the expansions short of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Level synced maybe but unsynced you can't really wipe to Titan EX anymore unless literally everyone gets hit by the 1 landslide that only hits on half the arena, so it takes some special kind of retard to wipe to this. I solo farmed my Titan EX mount at the start of SB. Anyway I don't believe...

    Note that getting to 50 only unlocks RDM and SAM. To unlock the HW classes(DRK/MCH/AST), you also need to complete all the 2.0 to 2.5 MSQ, which takes a fucking long ass time. Granted these 3 classes don't really fit what you were asking so not much of an issue. Both RDM and SAM are very strong...

    Path of Exile

    Summmoner has always been strong, like ever since the start of the game in beta. It requires minimal investment and many builds also melt bosses at stupid speeds. It's just most people don't like playing summons, and at the higher end of gear it's slower to clear stuff quite often versus someone...

    Hearthstone

    That Patches nerf like a year too late lol. I guess this marks a change in how they're handling the game? They let shit be unbalanced for months/years before or just never fix it until it rotates out, but now they're nerfing the shit out of creeper even though it's pretty new(and it's not a...

    Realistically as pointed out unless you're doing savage, classes don't matter much. Even if you do savage, most groups aren't retarded enough to try to recruit speedrun setups for progression. A few are, but they'll most likely fail since good luck learning fights when you have probably subpar...

    These will probably drop in price a fair amount once they remove elemental materias from the loot table of combining materias. Can take 5skillspeed materias or whatever and have a fair shot at a crafting/gathering materia now, since the only outcomes are the other combat ones or the 6...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can technically only specialize in 3 of them in XIV. That said specializing is also kinda pointless(it makes stuff easier to make, but they don't really have spec exclusive recipes anymore so eh). The reason it doesn't fuck the economy mostly is because crafting takes a lot more...

    You also can't necessarily figure out weaknesses quickly. Early on, since you have like 2elements and guns, if the monster is meant to be hit by a weakness, it's easy to check which. Later when you have Fire/Ice/Lightning/Wind/Psy/Nuke/Gun/Curse/Bless to check for, it can take a while especially...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah it's a really terrible way to change it. I can already see the new player who was just before the quest before the patch, logs in, oh nice a dungeon, queues, first cutscene starts, nice that's cool, cutscene ends, 3/4 of the group left because they hadn't read the patch notes and don't want...

    JRPGs

    Since they take place in the same time period I'd assume you could play either series first, but chronologically, Trails in the Sky was first so if there's any link between the 2(I haven't played much of it yet), then you'd want to start there. There's also the fact that Trails in the Sky is...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    With Destiny 2 shitting the bed they have a fair shot at selling a lot of boxes to disgruntled players though. On the other hand, since EA is probably hovering their shoulders, I expect this to be one of the great fuckeries in terms of microtransactions and what not. And it doesn't look...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    It had mixed reception, I've seen a lot of people say they hated it but also a lot of people say they liked it. I liked it a lot, more so than XIII(all of them), or XII. The combat is definitely pretty far from the usual FF, even XII or XIII still kept a fair amount of similar element but XV...

    Seems expensive for what it is. It was leaked a long time ago like back when map stash tab was leaked too though, so not really surprising though. Might become more useful as they add more stuff to it.

    So far I've only played the first Trails in the Sky since I bought it a while ago and it had been sitting in my backlog forever, I'm waiting for another 50% sale on second chapter(I sadly started playing the first like days after the last sale ended) and pickup the last chapter in a few months...

    Total War: Warhammer

    There's a few new features(naval autoresolve fights, can explore ruins but you never do cause it's a waste of time and not worth the reward and you can grab treasures in the sea that give tons of gold to help early game economy) and a better UI, but yeah it's mostly just 4 new factions for 40$...

    Hmm they kinda do? I mean Tales at least has been pretty consistent over the years, they still do FFs but lately they've been doing like sequels and shit so it lenghten the time between 2 actual titles(and with the 7 remake coming, don't expect XVI before 2022 if that, probably a PS5 title at...

    DOTA 2

    It seems they're DMCAing streams that have ads on/are streaming the ESL stream directly instead of the ingame client. Per Valve policy, you can only stream the ingame client and you can't have ads as whoever has the rights for the tournaments have the sole streaming and commercial rights to it...

    Yes it matters a lot, and yeah it works that way nowadays I believe, it was changed to work this way since it was shit before. I know for sure desecrates works with your summoned spectres though since when I leveled a necro in this league I used a random unlinked spectre gem for additional...

    Not sure what banning the credit card would do for Overwatch, you can just buy a physical box from amazon or wherever else with any sort of payment option. Can also buy battle.net gift cards to buy shit in the shop if you want. None of it involves using your card.

    JRPGs

    From what I've read Falcom just didn't have good contracts for international uses in their older games but with Ys 8 and supposedly Cold Steel 3 they made sure to have contracts that have international rights in them right away so they don't have to renegotiate them, and so supposedly even Xseed...

    JRPGs

    They did show an example, and it could be handpicked but it looked a lot better. And they redid all the voices. The fact they released the game as a rushed job and basically started working on a better translation right away is kind of dumb though. For the Cold Steel thing, most people who are...

    JRPGs

    They've been pretty shitty at porting stuff to other platform(PC mostly) or for large scale translation projects. They're decent on smaller/non story centric projects as long as they are just localizing, although they sometimes take a lot of liberties on the scripts which come to bite them in...

    Also in other news, NISA shit the bed yet again for the PC port of Ys 8. Apparently, they noticed that porting the game to PC is actually not that easy, so they're delaying it '"indefinitely". For the story, they contracted another company to do the PC port originally, then 2days before release...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Yeah do have to own stuff. Some of the factions are free though, obviously the first 4 are if you own War1(Empire, Greenskins, Vampire Counts and Dwarfs) however they each have their own DLC that add new units and legendary lords(Grim and Grave for empire/vc, warlord and king for...

    I liked Xillia but Xillia 2 felt like a rip off, it was a decent game on its own but the fact it was like 80% recycled assets was pretty absurd, especially since it sold at full price. I liked the story/characters though and the combat was fairly nice. Haven't played Berseria yet, waiting for it...
