    Well the downtime isn't related to the amount of content in this case. They're doing a 1day maintenance cause they need to optimize the code/servers for the doubling of the housing areas. Shit's gonna take a while, probably cause they have to backup everything first in case shit goes wrong, then...

    In general I'd say most visible puzzles are solved in that place with no clue other than what's given in the same place(plaques to read and shit like that). There's a few things that require help from other places, but not that many and pretty much always very close(same zone or same "block" but...

    Yeah heaven's eye III or quickarm III is the most logical. heaven's eye is the same as bard but no other class, quickarm isn't used by anyone. Every other is used by 2 classes already, plus there's kind of a logic(the crit are for both casters, the det are for both str melees, the parry for both...

    Go to the subredditnewest submissions : ffxivclick on Useful Information, it has a bunch of stuff for returning players and shit, like summary of patch notes, what to do at 50 and so on. Desynth reset books I'm not sure would even sell well at first. I might look into making a few GSM and CUL...

    So much for not fucking up the economy before a patch, I woke up after the notes went up and everything is all fucked. Not sure why they felt it was necessary to post the actual materials needed for every recipe. On top of that the only crafting I decided to gear since I came back, alchemy, is...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Yeah in case you wanna buy it, GMG has this VIP thing, you log in, click on the VIP thing and you get pretty big price cuts on a few games. It's 35$(or 35euros) with this on there, which for a new game is cheap as shit anyway.

    Nowadays people kinda sleep through it, you can survive most of the shit even if you don't dodge it due to ilvl increase and echo(when you wipe you get more stats). I did the relic quest on every class since I came back and also farmed titan like 30times to get a weapon for my retainer(which...

    Nintendo 3DS News, Games, etc.

    You obviously need a cart to run stuff that's not a real game, otherwise whoever designed it would be fired. You also need a certain version of the firmware to run them(obviously an old one), so if you updated your 3DS recently you're probably out of luck. There's some homebrew work for a...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah don't think it's that bad either, I just launch it when I play a game on it, like uplay. It's basically like mmos launchers, people don't quit mmos because they have a launcher. As long as it's not riddled with spywares or installing random shit, who cares really. I guess it's an issue if...

    Weird, my rogue didn't have an issue in rogue gear. Had 41 evasion though, I took evasion on char creation, max dex obviously and had 3pt dodge. I mean on last boss he got one shot a few times but in general he was roughly as "tanky" as my mino barb mostly because he got hit a lot less, even...

    I don't think they post patch notes before the downtime, to avoid economy changes in response to stuff in them. I guess a rough preview could be made but they already made several previews(rogue class, shiva, new coil, hildebrand etc) so I think that's all. Patch notes will probably go up during...

    Yeah fish is good. Turtles should still spawn, though maybe they stop at some point not sure. Also get the necklace from hmm, some place, that lets you ignore food and overweight on one char. It was on the west side, I wanna say sewers but not sure. Great neck for minos.

    Oh yeah I'm sure those 3 hours of doing garbage content to be entirely geared and ready to raid is so terrible and it's not like you can buy the gear with tomes that drop in dungeons. Cmon, in what game do you get to raid without doing like stupid daillies for reputation for some shit enchant or...

    Legend of Grimrock 2

    As long as there's room to kite, yeah pretty much. The harder parts of the game throw a lot of shit at you at the same time though and you get surrounded and shit. Ranged mobs also force you to do some more maneuvering. The bog is probably one of the easier parts of the game. Catacombs or...

    You don't click stuff through doors, doesn't work, but there's pressure plates and stuff that are not obvious in the area. I was stuck for a pretty long time in the mines too, on the upside, I found a bunch of secrets I had missed when I was looking how to progress. Meteor forge is purely...

    Well there's a lot of stuff to do and 2.4 comes out next week. They release quite a lot of content, though depending on your tastes there might not be that much but great game to sub for like a month or two, do all the content, then take a break for 4-6months and so on. Since 2.0 well, 1 new...

    Firearms isn't too bad, but only for one weapon and it's only for like "oh shit I need to kill shit" moments. Damage is fairly low otherwise. Sadly, missile is also low, so mostly your options are to either throw bombs(don't need the throw skill for that either, just need to make bombs which you...

    It opens up about 2/3 into the game or something I forgot when but yeah it's slow as shit. The game was criticized a lot for that.

    I bought one not long ago and I think it was worth it. Definitely more worth it than a PS4, at least for now. I'll pick up a PS4 next february/march or so for Bloodborne and Persona 5 and all that shit that's coming out but atm there's just not much worth it unless you want to play Destiny or...

    Through steam I think it is, maybe. Other than that, you can make a trial account and download with that. Can't download through the launcher without an active sub.

    Yeah I guessed it was pyramid, started bog Oh well guess there's something good waiting. Don't think I'll replace my current 2H, it's just insanely strong, there was even an achievement for it, it's like 45-90 or something dumb, crits stuff for 400-450 with it.

    Have you played after 2.1 or whatever patch they patched net code changes? I play from europe and never feel it's laggy or that the net code is shit. I've done every EX primals including Titan EX which I'd say is very ping sensitive(since everyone stacks on top of each other so when he does...

    Finished cemetary, not sure what's up but there were very very few secrets. I scoured every wall as usual and caught a few but overall in the 3 levels of the cemetary I found like 4secrets, so not sure if it's just a low secret area or if I missed a bunch. There aren't really any puzzle or...

    They confirmed Dark Knight for the expansion. Also are nerfing Atma step of the relic quest during 2.4. Animus might also be nerfed as a byproduct of tomes changes, so should be easier to get that done on Ninja. Novus still garbage though.

    Oh and in case of, if you missed the hint, I believe the statue is on a part of that zone that isn't directly accessible, you have to go through the sewers. Make sure to check it out. Good luck with the mines btw, there's A LOT of secrets and weird shit going on, and it takes fucking forever to...

    Well catching up is fast(plus there's a gear bump like in 1-2weeks so most of the current gear will become worthless), they fixed the moving out of fire shit pretty much though animations are still like behind the damage check so you still get hit by stuff you're out of by the time the animation...

    Eh, nothing really does big dmg to my wizard and more energy is pretty much always better, but you do get more health and the 10resist all thing which helps a bit. I'd go alchemist over rogue in backline though, with 5alchemy you can make +stat potions but the herbs are obviously limited for it...

    From the error message they said it was my HDD failling but not really having issues with it so don't know, anyway not a big issue as I didn't like my party that much and like my new one a lot more. It's basically perfect, at least with my current knowledge. Depending on what ends up being...

    During coil they show the new Allagan gear, during Shiva they show the new 2.4 gear(probably new tome gear, could be dungeon sets but unlikely). And yeah the story is ramping up for the expansion stuff it seems, pretty cool to see. As for Atma, I actually farmed atma since I came back and...

    Not sure what circle guards are, unless you mean those earth elems? Didn't have much problem with those, just sat my ass in the entrance so they funelled one by one and killed them super slow since most weapons do shit dmg. I was making potions as the fights went on hehe. There's a ton of...

    Well the scroll makes it super easy, I figured it based on the 3 coded places(there was one code in the forest early in the game and I had made a map note of it so I could compare), though a bunch of it was trial and error. Path of the Eagle was pretty obvious to me, I did spend like 10mins on...

    If you're stuck in a place, you could go in another. Not sure about the bog area I think I went there to check out the place but it had a statue saying the way was sealed and the answer was in the archives so I left to do other stuff. Did find the archives actually so now I "think" I have the...

    It wasn't BiS until this patch, and only barely(they added a new tier that raises the Relic to the same ilvl as the raid drops that had been accessible since 5months prior, and since you can customize the stats on it, you can eliminate stupid stuff and get only the best but if the raid weapon...

    Elder Scrolls VI - Argonia

    Well assuming they go that way, I guess they'll still find ways to make it varied and stuff. Kinda like how skyrim isn't just "WHITE EVERYWHERE LULZ". I mean it's a lot of snow but there's a bunch of other shit too. They haven't confirmed shit though, for all we know we could be going back to...

    Dota2 has had smartcast for like a year. Thought it can't be configured as well directly and you need to use macros if you want to smartcast on release only rather than on keypress. Could use smartcast since forever using macros too.

    There's plenty of encounters where you can't dodge though, by design, so if your frontline isn't tanky enough to not die in one hit, you're gonna have a bad time. Knights I don't know though, supposedly their evasion bonus is buggy, though they still get good health per level and protection +1...

    Few things for party creation: You need 1pt in light weapons/heavy weapons to use specific weapons of that type, and I assume more for the higher level weapons, so you probably want to pick one style and stick to it. Heavy weapons are str based, Lightweapons are either dex based(daggers)...
