    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Alright, I want to leave the main city and nuke a rat or something. How do I do that? Will it kick me out once I do all these tutorial quests that I don't want to do?

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    According to their FAQ Selo will get Planes of Power on the first of May so it's like six weeks of Luclin. After that new expansions unlock on Wed every four weeks.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Selo has merit. Its got some sparkle. I can see people having a good time on it and I can see it dragging in some people that weren't otherwise going to ever come back to EQ again. Mangler has nothing going for it. I hope they scrap the whole fucking thing and start over. Buckle to the forum...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    So you play on Selo a bit, it starts to get to GoD and you aren't interested but you still want to play a bit more EQ. "You know, Kunark isn't bad and Velious is right after it" you think to yourself. You switch over to Mangler and you make a new character. You enter the game and you punch a...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Thinking about it more Selo seems a little misguided with its super fast unlock speeds but I could see it being a hilarious clown car wreck as people race to kill Aten in the shittiest fucking gear possible. Its got some merit as a short-duration challenge server and could be really memorable...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Slower than Phinny/Coirnav? Go fuck yourselves. "Faster than EverQuest at launch" is a line they've used a few times over the years and it's just nonsense. Coirnav and Phinny are already slower than launch EQ with the dumpstered quest exp rates.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Six month unlock timers plus voting (the ruleset that was voted for on the official forums) was just ass. When LJ finally got Kunark it took all of two weeks for everyone to figure out that they weren't going to kill Trak and they weren't going to see VP until they were allowed to by the top...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    So far the only TLP of the recent era to really fall on its face was Lockjaw. Six month unlock timers plus full boxing and it was reduced to private server status less than one month in to Kunark. Coirnav and Agnarr both had fifteen or sixteen different guilds clear Vex Thal. That's a huge...

    I once wished on a monkey's paw to bring this abomination into being - and it still angers up my blood almost ten years later. It was like someone was engaged in a Count de Monte Crisco tier revenge plot against me personally for some unknown slight and chose a straight to DVD movie as their...

    I don't hate having a teaser announcement that is light on info but you need to follow it up. It's two weeks later (and two weeks closer to release) and we aren't any more informed.

    Not having launch dates is for sure a mistake. There's nothing to be gained from dragging that out.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I'm not too worried about the excitement levels. We're still around five weeks away depending on when the launch happens. People were not going to stay hype. Not having rules yet is its own dilema. I know a bunch of people that are maybe interested but need details before making any kind of...

    Hearthstone

    I dislike very much seeing basic/classic cards get nerfed. It's been almost five years since release and they're still doing it. They aren't willing to revamp basic and classic card pools each rotation (which is what they should do, bringing cards back and kicking others into Wild) but they...

    I wonder if Method kept data on the impact of all of their prep work. Just how many times did their boss order on splits allow them to allocate a piece of gear better, how many times did they get to move a trinket/ring/hat because of the tradeskill stuff, etc.

    I hope someone edits together the reasons Ion gave for forced personal loot together with Josh's explanation of Method's strategy. You want people to do less split runs you say? WELL HOW ABOUT MORE SPLIT RUNS

    I only started watching any of this because there was talk that a NA guild was going to world first G'huun and Josh completely won me over. I was actively cheering for them this content cycle. He's just got the right mix of energy, wit and vulgarity and I was glad Method pulled it out. Going...

    Watching Josh win and then go through the fight step by step while taking time out to shit post, talk mad amounts of shit, troll his old guild/server, and hit on the mothers of guildmates it looked to me as though he was satisfied/excited versus "relieved." He looked, sounded, and acted like a...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    So far the only information is that they are progression servers with one "ultra-casual" and one "hardcore." I'd be thrilled to get a server with a quirky, unique ruleset but I honestly don't expect much with either of them. No AoC + open world PvP (simple, easy to implement, fits the theme...

    I guess they hotfixed Jaina's tide elemental to not be vulnerable to interrupts. From watching their streams this evening I think that is still how things are. They had a 9.9% run with it in place at the very end of the night.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    My pitch - Each guild is treated as its own faction with everyone not in a guild also being their own collective faction. Anyone on your team you are PvE towards and everyone else is FFA. You can purge the unwashed masses in a guild while also fighting other guilds for supremacy or you can be...

    It looks like they're doing more splits. I wonder if their conclusion was that 405ish wasn't a high enough average of if they are loot funneling to restoration druids.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I don't hate (in principle) the idea of the last boss at mythic difficulty being tuned such that they go unkilled for a long time. Method and Limit are both item level 405 or so, Jaina is tuned hard at 415 and that's just how it is. No one is making you throw your face in the blender for sixteen...

    I don't have any objection to some new progression servers allowing full boxing as a feature and think it would be a good idea for one of the new servers to have it but after Ragefire and Lockjaw I'm not interested in that ever being the default for these servers ever again. Unbridled boxing...
