    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I'm really liking all these POR quests that give high-HEM loot. Still have a bunch of them to get to myself, but it's great to have gear options outside of raids. An issue I've run into is that most of the good DoN augs still have rec level 70 on them, which lowers the stats of any item you...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    It doesn't involve real money, but I did a similar thing when I went back to the game in 2004. Had about 8000 plat in the bank from 2001, wanted to start a monk. Could have blown the plat on a couple decent weapons and been done with it, but instead I did some bazaar-observing and figured out...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Bringing multiple guilds in and making a real run at downing CBQ would have been a blast. Maybe with like a hundred people it wouldn't have been a situation of insurmountable boss regen. Unfortunately the fight has to be in a DZ for the achievement. Can't remember if it's 54 or 72 limit for the...

    Looking forward to a Cragbeast Queen corpse screenshot with all level 55's in raid from you!

    Dark Souls

    DS2 is really cool, great atmosphere, best hub area in the series. A lot of the zones in that game feel legit kind of mystical if that makes sense. Also the lore of the game is really interesting with the queen screwing the kingdom over, the war with the giants, etc. Right now after replaying...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    How's Thailand? I've been wondering what it's like to live in a place where brothels are rampant and legal. Not so much Thai Ladyboys though, thinking more Scandinavia where the average woman is an 11.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I did that with Ashes of Alar, or whatever the phoenix mount dropped by Kil'Jaeden is called. Got really good at clearing Tempest Keep solo at level 100. Or maybe it was 90 or 110, I don't remember. Whatever it was, I did it once a week for like 30 weeks and finally got it. I don't think I was...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I had someone do a chargeback on an Ebay sale I made a few months ago, basically stole $60 out of my pocket for a game I'd shipped them weeks earlier, no explanation, no nothing, and Ebay didn't help because I didn't see the chargeback until after the 7 day period you have to contest it or...

    JRPGs

    I'd like a remastered Xenosaga Trilogy, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Final Fantasy 13 Trilogy, and Dark Souls Trilogy. Like 3 in 1 sets. At the very least it looks like we're getting Metroid Prime remasters one at a time, which hopefully means much higher-effort than a 3 in 1 set. I'd love to see...

    Playstation 5

    Yeah, didn't seem to be any way to load my existing saves n' stuff on the PS5 versions of THPS and Yakuza. Oh well. Not a big deal, don't know if I'll play 'em more anyway. Only have a little bit left to do in Yakuza and I don't know if I'll ever actually beat the THPSes. Like halfway through...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    It's non-doable before 60. At 55 we had a raid DPS of...I'm kinda guessing a ballpark here, but I think it was around 2.5k. At 60 so far we have 5k ish on a regular fight, could probably spike it higher on a burn call. Well CBQ regens like 12-15k HP a tick, which is roughly 2-2.5k a second...

    Playstation 5

    If I download the PS5 versions of Yakuza and THPS, can I bring over my saves and trophies from the PS4 versions? I'm assuming I can upload the saves from the PS4 versions, then get the PS5 versions and download the saves. And trophies will probably auto-pop like they did with FF7R PS5.

    JRPGs

    This was a discussion earlier in the thread I think... Chrono Cross is definitely a bit divisive. For me, the soundtrack basically carried the game. I still think it has the best soundtrack in videogame history. There was some really cool lategame stuff that was tied to CT (Chronopolis, the...

    That's what I remembered it being, was hoping it was different now or something. Still a pretty cool collector's item though.

    Buddy sent me this Japanese copy of Chrono Cross...pretty sick. Not gonna actually play it, but outta curiosity, anyone know if a Japanese PS1 game will work on a US PS1? What about running it on a PS2 or PS3? Mine are mothballed in storage somewhere. I haven't gotten the CC remaster yet...

    So, what are people's hopes and dreams for Level 60? Mine are... for all of the achievement/challenge raids to actually be beatable!

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    And we don't even know what it is yet... Oh My Gooooooood (It's probably Armored Core, and likely due out in January or February) I'm still holding out hope for an ER DLC announcement or a Bloodborne Remaster announcement. From has me waiting for announcements about games for the first time...

    Fallout 4

    Oh, THAT must be why my Nuka-World story playthrough ended up at a standstill. The objective markers had me going back to my own settlements, but after a year away from the game, I didn't know why, and ended up following the markers around in a circle until I shrugged and turned the game off. It...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This guy does great videos, especially the several on Elden Ring. He makes an important point here that the internet's obsession with pushing these games as "super-hard games for an exclusive club" is the kind of thing that scares people off from trying the series, and isn't even all that true...

    Mortal Shell - Soulslike RPG

    Well, somehow this one flew totally under my radar. I also keep getting it mixed up with Scarlet Nexus, thought SN was the Soulslike. Is this game really kind of short? HLTB has it at 10 hours which is low for a Soulslike. I might put this on my Soulslike pile cause nothing else does it for me...

    JRPGs

    Too late, I played Ys 9 at release. And yeah, it was basically a hassle to play, didn't like it. Ys 8 is the only one I've got left. XC3 sounds like Dragon Quest 6, where if you overleveled you'd stop getting class exp (unless you wait until late-game to overlevel, when high level enemies...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    At the very least clerics can be replaced with boxes/rerolls fairly quick. Losing warriors is the worst because they take all their gear with them, and if you lose half your tank line during Secrets of Faydwer, suddenly Tactical Prototype and Meldrath aren't beatable. Weeks to recover leading to...

    No Man's Sky

    Yeah I'm similarly annoyed by roguelikes. In theory it's a cool concept where you get stronger each time you go out to the dungeon. It's relatively obscure but I liked Ehrgeiz's "Quest Mode" which did this very thing. Hades and Returnal are both really good games, but most of their runtime is...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Turned spell effects on, and I gotta say I LOVE that Serpent's Bite has the old lifetap animation. Almost, almost tempted to de-level to 5, since the proc works at any level, just to see the low level and mid level versions of the spell and get some nostalgia going. The very first spell I ever...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    As far as any future Agnarrs go...one thing I can think of that might work is a Mata Muram server. Locks at OOW (plus DON). It's funny because the 70 era kills so many servers, yet it'd also be a pretty decent lock point with all those epic 2.0s to so (when they're permanent and not condemned to...

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Attrition hits harder with fewer people to begin with, yeah. The point I was making though (in response to the Trakanon drama) is that once 54-man raid DZs become the norm and OW targets fall off, which all happens fairly early, it doesn't matter if you have 200 people in a zerg. A solid crew of...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I also like DS2 the more I play it. I think it has the best story out of all of them, and the best DLCs. I love how one of the DLCs is basically the scrapped Demon Souls DLC. I found DS2 to be the most difficult out of the ones I've played. I can speedrun Demon, Dark 1, or Bloodborne...

    Anyone an expert on the Ys series? I've been playing Memories of Celceta lately which is a remake of Ys IV. However there are apparently two different YS IVs that were released on different systems (SNES and Turbografx 16 IIRC, or rather Super Famicom and PC Engine since we didn't get either...

    Niiiice. I might well move up Sekiro since I'm on a katana binge lately as is. Have a few things lined up for August, mostly June/July things that I didn't actually finish any of: -Ys Memories of Celceta (almost done) -Uncharted 4 (about halfway) -Live A Live -Dragon Quest 5 SFC (about halfway)...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I agree that Souls 1 is very worth playing. I'd just put it below the others. Playing 3-2-1 in that order could be interesting. Personally I did run throughs of Dark 1 and Demon Remake (both NG++) this year after Elden Ring. Both kinda felt like they paled in comparison to ER when it came to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Dark Souls 1 is rough to go back to now, even the remaster. Not just the visuals but also the design choices. Sekiro is a totally different type of game. Here are a few options, from most to least recommended: -Dark Souls 3. The most refined and closest to ER Souls game from what I've heard...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Watched Iron Sky (2012). Total chore to sit through, not even "so bad it's good". It's a farcical comedy about nazis but nothing is funny. Only good thing about it is that it has a couple of hot female characters (the protagonist is especially cute) and it continually finds ways to either rip...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    With deepfake technology getting as advanced as it is, I think we're rapidly approaching a time when anyone can be framed for anything just by using that tech with video footage. And if it's the government doing it, then they'll be able to do it with impunity.
