    Well they changed Dragoons positionals to be like that too so yeah probably. Unless they make mudras client side though, Ninja is kinda dead for me. The Scholar "changes" were completely boring so I'm pretty sure I'm going astrologian now. It's like they checked the Scholar and were like "ok...

    Sharpcast I think. The rotation will change quite a bit with the Enokian buff or whatever, cool stuff.

    The music in the expansion sounds so fucking good. Can't wait to listen to all of it.

    I guess and that's why people were angry, cause it was important matches or whatever, I'm not really following so not sure how important these matches were. But yeah I don't really care all that much myself. Though better when he's solo casting and shit, it's not so funny when he has someone...

    He's getting quite a lot of hate on reddit it seems, gotta say his english is super bad and his analysis is kinda crappy pretty often though he has good knowledge, but he's hilarious imo. I guess if you don't laugh at his jokes he's a terrible caster, but fuck the shit he says sometimes. *Tiny...

    Yeah that's a terrible idea. And they post the RMT bans message every week, and every week they ban about as many people.

    Oh was there an option like that? I forgot. But yeah I've been capping every game at 70FPS or so, I don't really need higher FPS and it doesn't overheat my gfx or activate the loud as fuck fans so I'm fine.

    The i90 gear was stupidly low priced, so that the entire set was like 200seals which took like 10hunts or whatever it was. When they bumped the ilvl on everything, the sold gear got priced more appropriately(like it's 200seals per piece or something), and they nerfed seals droprates, then buffed...

    The thing is the shit you need to do isn't related to the expansion, it's related to doing the current content. You need to get like i90 to do steps of faith to finish the story. Note that the current raiding gear is i130, that's like 2 whole tiers higher than i90. So it's pretty far off. You...

    You can queue as 24man. No one does cause it's shit content anyway, but we did a 24man WoD when it was released. And Tecknoe, you don't need raiding gear for shit. You might as well gear yourself, but if you have the gear to do steps, you have the gear for the expansion. Getting raid gear...

    Well yeah it's not necessary, when has a guild ever been necessary in a mmo? Useful, convenient, sure, but necessary rarely if ever. It's the same thing. It is an additional chat since linkshells are limited and you can have a lot of people in a guild, the housing adds a TP destination as...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Yeah like 4years late or whatever. But eh it's F2P so I'll probably fuck around with it a bit, it supposedly has better combat than Tera even, and I never bothered playing the other versions.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's also 70 or whatever for the first step relic item, and like 50-100k for the materia+precursor weapon, so yeah it's not that great, though it gets you to run stuff that gives a bunch of soldiery too anyway, like chimera/hydra and the 3 primals. It's like whatever, they're both doing...

    Because you can buy the crafted gear 20seconds after hitting 50 and not have to farm anything. Granted, this depends on your class I guess, armor has varying prices depending on the armor. But for example a while ago I made a set of leather armor for a new monk who hit 50, it cost me 40k to make...

    Hmm do you have uncapped high FPS? This game kinda kills my fan and temp if I don't force V sync or force cap FPS with Nvidia Inspector. A lot of games do actually it's annoying as shit, but if I cap it, it's fine. If it's an old PC it might be a different issue I guess since you might not get...

    Path of Exile

    Not all gems are buyable, mostly it's quest rewards and some key build gems, but a lot of high end gems are still drop only so you'd need to trade for these. That said, it's a huge improvement over having to trade overpriced shit at the start of a league at level 20-25 or having to level another...

    Na the subs were around 600k iirc based on their revenues and shit, people throwing several million numbers are being retarded because of the 4million accounts announcement, a lot of which are probably bots they banned anyway.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'd say the game isn't lacking in much, but it's not very different from wow and wow already has a huge playerbase, so most new players would gravitate towards wow due to having heard of the game from someone first and stuff like that. I don't think it needs to change much, it has its own...

    Path of Exile

    Oh yeah if it was in that place, on level 3 the necros do lightning curse and there's a bunch of lightning mobs too so you can kinda explode quickly even if you're capped on lightning if you're not careful. But yeah gonna rip once in a while especially if you're not extra careful.

    Depends on what act he was in, but yeah I probably wouldn't play a melee with 2k hp in merc past Ledge. Especially on a multimod rippy league.

    They have made almost no changes to cross class. Notable one is BLM Thunder isn't a cross class anymore, but instead you can cross class Blizzard II. I'm fairly sure that's the only change they've made to cross class since the release, other than a few skills being usable by ninja obviously(but...

    Sounds like you installed the FFXI trial instead of the XIV trial. Seriously though, there's only one unskippable cutscene, when you create a new char. The quest dialogue is average to good for the most part, has some references but isn't dankmemeonline like wow, the combat is wow's combat...

    They don't seem to have anything going besides the Witcher promotion atm, I'd wait a bit. Realistically you can wait until like a week before the early access to buy the game, I bought it already cause GMG had a bunch of voucher shit and what not and I think I bought the game for like 24$ or...

    A very important note about steam. The steam client is its own thing. You cannot play the game without steam if you have the steam version, and you cannot play the normal version via steam(other than adding it manually as an external game thingie). This goes for the expansion as well. If you...

    They don't open servers randomly, the servers are open based on population, it checks every 3-4hours or so. If there's high pop, the server stays locked, if it's low/medium pop, it's open, that's all there is to it really. That's why even on non crowded servers if you try to make a char during...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    Rezz this isn't really Devil's Advocate though. You're advocating a fairly decent line of thought. Testing games via torrented versions to know if the game is actually worth buying or not. That's fair. I mean, a lot of people will argue that you're literally stealing and raping the devs...

    Not really, because a 2nd healer is actually useful even if he's not healing all the time. There's a lot of healing spikes, where the boss does an unavoidable aoe or spike the tanks or whatever, and that's when the 2nd healer can help. As a scholar, that means Soil to reduce damage, precast...

    Well there is over a month to get it done, so F5 might not be too necessary ^^. I'll wait for the EU one anyway.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Uh, no? Depending on the content, that's literally all that happens, you DPS and your pet does all the healing. Content being most 5mans and any easy 8man. On harder 8mans, you have to heal, sometimes. Not all the time and that still depends on the WHM, if he's good, you don't have to heal at...

    They already explained everything. You need a copy for every version of the game, if you log in and your character is in an expansion zone, you can't log on that character. Can still play the new classes and stuff in the old zones if you've unlocked them though.

    Path of Exile

    Was indded a melee skill: From the datamined stuff, it convert 50% phys to ice, has 33% LESS attack speed and the 2nd hit does 33% less damage. Aoe seems shit but I assume it can be scaled with aoe mods to cover a pretty good area, looks decent enough. Also of note, it can be used with...

    Path of Exile

    Oh yeah I guess ice does need a melee attack, since the only one is like, Glacial Hammer and that's heavily skewed towards single target and freeze prolif. Fire and Lightning got their new melee skills so Ice one would make sense. Might be pretty interesting since Cold damage would tend to be...

    Well HC and spotty connection is always going to result in some nonsense deaths. During the previous 1month the servers were unstable as fuck like the first weekend, had to log off and go do nothing instead of playing cause I didn't want to rip to lag spikes. Also new teaser of some new...

    Echo of Soul - CB

    Played this to 10, not really seeing anything that would make it worth playing? Combat is slow paced, not pure action, feels a bit floaty at times, classes and abilities are the boring standard mmo fare, leveling is obviously awful and I tried pvp for a bit but unless I'm missing something...

    Well realistically, the best time to jump back in would be in a month or so, when they release act4 and a ton of nice changes+full rebalance and so on. You can jump back in now if you want though. Probably better to make a new char and build a new char from the ground up to get the basics...

    Yeah I think people didn't really see the implication of this change. Support alchemist farms like shit and the earliest you're gonna get an agh in a typical game is like 35-40mins. Even as carry alchemist, the earliest you'd have the money to spare without hurting your own build would be...
