    PS3 version is kinda like, meh. It runs, you can play fine, but it has a lot of shit that looks terrible because well, PS3. Heavensward zones especially are terrible on PS3. Loadings are also absolute garbage. There's a trial so you can check it out, unless you're bandwith capped or your HDD is...

    Well better cheap way, assuming you're not in a hurry, is to wait next tuesday for the maintenance(which they're doing, they're reducing the red scrips grind), and make a char as soon as servers come up. Set your alarm clock or whatever, make a char and go back to sleep. Can be more annoying...

    There aren't many bismark groups cause there isn't a point in doing it again, unlike ravanah. It's a pretty boring fight too, and you can definitely learn everything in less than 30mins provided you get past the snakes, after that it's just a matter of finding the right group, which you can see...

    Sadly Tornado Kick is poop shit. Wish it looked and sounded better. And also had no/lower cooldown. Nothing more annoying than not having it up when the boss is taking yet another break and you're about to drop GL3. The class is pretty fun to play though, and Ravanah EX is a great training...

    Dots work fine, if you pull multiple mobs, but WHM isn't really that great at multi mob killing nowadays so meh. But the key component to soloing in heavensward as a healer or tank is to use a chocobo. Or a DPS really anything. Now if you're still 50, it'll be kinda shit and all, but as soon as...

    Wasn't saying Adamantite was fine, it's completely fucking stupid to put a main material on an unspoiled node AND also have it be a red scrips turn in, shit's beyond retarded, and you need 5 per combine too because fuck you crafters. But quite often for red scrips turn in you don't need them...

    Gigantic - MOBA'ish

    Yeah not really a moba, more like a team shooter with absolutely terrible autoaim mechanics, like you can hit people by vaguely shooting/meleeing in their general direction. I guess because consoles/PC aren't split? Not sure. Also apparently will require windows 10 or some nonsense. Other...

    Anything that has 70 or 35durability has lower chance to get good procs, that's basically everything in the 2nd part of the crafting log, like 56+. I think point was to make specialization better by giving them Heart and Whistle while you work stuff, but it's pretty annoying to level up the...

    I'd consider watching the really long cutscenes at the end, and then the heavensward stuff, but eh up to you I guess. Can always watch them later if you change your mind.

    I actually haven't picked a single one. I thought I'd keep it for this patch to see what I'd get, I bought some weaver and alchemy delineations cause I had too many blue scrips but didn't spec any. Considering I'm not planning on crafting shit, I probably won't bother using them, the respec is...

    Got invited for some reason, download the game, try to login, servers are only up for specific windows of time, already annoyed. Check the next event times, only 2hours, in the middle of when I sleep. Yeah, I guess fuck that noise for now.

    Yeah get a keyboard for chatting, it's a must really. DPS being subpar isn't too much of an issue while leveling, plus once you get used to the buttons positions and how the pad gameplay works, it really flows nicely. The 2.5GCD helps a lot with that, if it was wow's 1.5 it'd be a lot harder for...

    Heroes of the Storm

    It's supposed to move you a short distance towards your target but if you change target during the animation, it'll accept any other target regardless of range. So you attack say a building or a creep, then immediately click on something else and you can move great distance, though it seems...

    There's some on Ultros, but a lot are still doing Nthan. The xp penalty for being lower lvl is pretty rough from what I've tested, at 51, a Coerthas fate gave me 32k xp, a hinterlands lvl 52 fate gave me 29k xp, a churning mist 54 fate gave me 27k xp and I didn't try hinterlands, but it was...

    The dungeons have some pretty good fights as you level up, though that also means in shit groups they're a pain. Vault last boss is probably the best dungeon boss fight in the expansion, mechanics wise, it does a lot of simple stuff that makes the fight kinda interesting. I guess technically the...

    Almost every new materials has shit droprates for whatever reason. On top of that, every fucking combine takes like 5 of them(a few "only" take 3). And then the actual final items take 2 or 3 of the combined materials, it fucking sucks. On the other hand, I don't really care since I had a...

    Endgame is, as far as I know, easier than the hardest wow setting stuff(heroic? I honestly don't fucking know what they call it nowadays), but it's still sufficiently hard that for most people outside the really hardcore players, it's a nice challenge. Wether or not it's better than wow I guess...

    Well I think I see what you could have meant, is that stoneskin itself isn't useless, to WHMs. For SCH it kinda is though, and for AST it's a mixed bag, but I'd generally say it doesn't really matter. The spell really isn't that good that you absolutely need it. I'd say something like Awareness...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah but like, if you're a WHM, you have stoneskin, because well, you're a WHM. The question is wether or not you lvl CNJ for the cross class if you play SCH or AST, as AST I could see it being kinda useful rarely if in Diurnal but on SCH it's pretty bad. In the case of T10, the only class that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Stoneskin is shit, and you definitely don't need it if you don't want to lvl CNJ. The amount it blocks on non tanks is completely trivial and won't help for shit so wasting time stoneskinning people prefight is worthless(unless you're a WHM, then you just cast a single spell so why not) and on...

    Oh base is 5, that sucks. Used to be like 10 for adventurer stuff.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You get more than the base amount if you're higher ilvl, but not sure you can gear stuff with high enough ilvl atm to get past the first tier. My combat retainer is sadly like 30, when Heavensward started, I thought "meh I'm not gonna play my monk so I'm gonna respec my retainer", then 3days...

    Stupid maintenance, guess a major exploit was found or something. Maybe something with the weekly resets, kinda sucks though.

    Can probably fix it by going through a VPN that will route you in a less shitty way to the servers, there's a bunch of services that do that but generally have to pay. It's not really square's fault, other than having their servers in canada.

    That's a FC buff. FCs can run 2 buffs every 24hours(well at max rank), it's like 30% reduced teleport costs, 15%battle or craft or gather xp, +control/gather/craftsmanship/perception, longer food buffs, better chocobo xp, faster spiritbinding, less duration on the rez weakness and some other...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I guess but it's like such a minor ilvl bump, I don't think it'd have a large impact at all, especially since it's like 2pieces or so. If they had weapons that'd be another story but otherwise I wouldn't bother, or if it was like a static goal, I would think the static would do the runs...

    It can be pretty awful, PF that farms is a good way to get drops, I got A1 and A4 like this, A2 and A3 I got on my first run through. I just roll on everything though, don't give a fuck about what I get, I have many different classes to gear and esoterics to fill in the other slots, so no reason...

    I got all of them, not sure what reqs you mean, but they're not like the original master books at all. Now you need scrips for them, you get scrips by crafting items as collectable(it's a toggle lvl 50 skill), Rowena only accepts specific items every day, only 56+ items give scrips and there's...

    Grats, I haven't touched fishing yet personally. Got 4/8 crafts at cap, the rest at 53(fucking armorer daillies)-56, got all the master books already and gathers are 57. I have a lot more combat stuff done though, I've gotten AST to 60, Monk to 60, PLD to 55 and SCH to 57 and then DRK/MCH to...

    Path of Exile

    The only spec I alt tabbed without TP on was summoner stuff, the zombies can generally clean up whatever aggros np, but yeah I've seen weird shit where you just stand in one place for 10mins, and then suddenly something aggros. I guess stuff wanders pretty far from their spawn point or whatever.

    Hmm there should be necrovigil, it was rolled in the base game, was nerfed to be smaller though.

    The problem of HW fates isn't the distance, it's the fact they're HW mobs so have a lot more base health, yet reward the same xp as N Than fates, or a bit more. Generally in terms of xp/hour it's not worth it versus old world fates, which kinda sucks. They aknowledged it though, so they might...

    Path of Exile

    The game's pretty easy at first but you'll probably hit a wall at some point, probably around act3. Casters are a lot easier to play at first I think, melees require a decent amount of optimization to be viable.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm not sure what you mean by target switching, it's the same as other classes? Positionning can be annoying but if you lock the target, you can like strafe very easily while still facing the mob, which actually makes it very easy to do on a pad versus having to mouse look adjust while strafing...

    People will run current content until new content is added, which won't be until september-ish, so you have time to get everything decked out in law gear. Statics get made all the time and Ravanah will still be needed for an easy i190 weapon(I assume esoterics weapon will be tied to savage drop...

    It takes a while getting used to, and tbh I wouldn't ever want to heal on a pad, but the rest works out pretty fine, especially if you play certain easier classes and what not. Note that buying the base game on PS4, assuming you don't have it, comes with a free month. So you wouldn't need to...

    Glamours and cosmetics are part of it though. You can just make them yourself at a fraction of the cost if you get your crafting up. Mind you, you don't have to participate to make money. There's monsters that drop materials that are relatively valuable(especially now, though it'll drop over...
