    Pantheon and FoH

    Patheon is going to flop, but since I've been reading this site on and off for over a decade and half I shall contribute some funds that would have fed a twitch streamer some ramen for the month instead.

    State Of Decay 2 - May 22nd Release

    I never played the first one and I am typically not a fan of the survival base building genre, but since I got game pass decided to try it out. I'm about 3 hours in. Is there a main story to follow once you've got a leader or is it pretty much respond to radio/clear infestations and gain...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Thanks for the responses. Will give it a couple of weeks when the wiki is a bit more fleshed out and I can check out builds/synergies. The divinity series spoiled me with Lone Wolf and easy to control battlefields.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    How feasible to play this as a solo party or max duo on a difficulty that won't put me to sleep? Never played part 1, but I have beaten pretty much all the other popular RPGs in this genre in this manner with the difficulty ramped up.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have enjoyed it enough to sub for a month and will probably stop playing once it ends since it really is a single player MMO outside of dungeons especially on console. L41 currently on xbox. The only thing that annoys me is the mount training. Who thought it was a good idea to take ~3 months...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I've had my fill of Vermintide 2 and am getting an MMO itch. EOS is one of the handful I've not tried. Is it worth giving a run through the leveling experience once or twice? Anyone play on Xbox One X have complaints or does it work well if I don't feel like doing PC play?

    Are you on BSC? I can reinstall PoE tonight. I think I have like 50-100 left over in the t1-t10 range that my friend didn't want that you can have.

    Swap out one of my DPS flasks for a life flask on those map mods and rapid movement. Running bloodlines most of the time so it never took more than a few seconds to be next to mobs again unless I derped it up.

    I did Oni MS Jugg and had zero problem with map mods of all tiers other than no leech (more of inconvenience, but not impossible) or ele reflect (not possible).

    Vermintide 2

    Unchained feels so incredibly strong if I'm on my game. Just unlocked the L20 talents and managed to carry a Champ game last night practically solo on Festering Ground. All the temp health from killing and health regen from trait is A+.

    Vermintide 2

    Started this up yesterday and am maining Sienna again since she is all I played in V1. Kind of sad there are so few acts, but definitely enjoying it more than the first. Most players have been decent while using quick play aside from a handful of host trolls who disconnected right as we reached...

    I gave up this weekend. I've been playing 40 hours+ each week since league start and still didn't get all my memory fragments. Had more money than in all my previous leagues combined though and got to try out some new builds at least. Gave a newbie friend almost 60ex in gear/$ so he was happy...

    Ni No Kuni II

    I enjoyed the first one and as soon as this pops on Steam sale I will be nabbing it. Could use a change of pace from all the brutal roguelikes and Cupheads of the world I've been primarily playing.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    The combat is about the best thing in the game so if it's not something you enjoy I'd just shelve it now. There are some nuances once you upgrade some spots in the ascension skill tree or swap to other weapons, but it's pretty basic.

    Got some lucky af RNG last night. Did about 250 chaos spam to reroll that steel ring and make a shaper amulet / stygian belt. Ended up with all 70-100 life, 70+ elemental resists, 30%+ wed, high phys rolls and most still have an open craft available also some solid searching eye jewels. If...

    I've had decent map sustain, but my alchs/chisels have been shit. I think I've gotten maybe 100 and since I rarely pick up items types I don't need I've had to resort to trading for them. I think I'm resist capped already, but ya not being able to craft life was my hesitation. Contemplating...

    So I'm working on leveling and getting my Deadeye geared since I farmed a shit load on my other two characters and stripped them. Was chaos spamming some steel rings and ended up with 2 decent ones. Would you try to gamble a better roll on the +mana steel ring or call it a day?

    Monster Hunter: World

    So it looks like overall they buffed everything aside from LBG/HBG/Bow. Seems weird since all the weapons are solid already and nothing is getting a difficulty ramp up.

    These companies have economists who prove that cost analysis to be wrong or they'd already be $1 or $5. And again look at it verse your time played. If the majority of people in this thread spent $300 they'd still be getting cosmetic/quality of life improvements for <$1/hour entertainment and...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah and I'd make sure to capture every monster so you can unlock the quests instead of back tracking later to figure out what you're missing if you get to the point where you want Rainbow pigment etc.

    If you can afford it and enjoy it then go for it. I've got way less hours, maybe 350 or so total, but I've spent $150-200ish between 3 different leagues. I probably average $100-400 per "free" game that I have enjoyed in the past. That shit is like one night out to dinner or bar though so it's...

    As this is my first trade league the only thing I have noticed with prices are all the afk/dnd dudes who never respond cluttering up the first 20+ entries with reasonable prices (ex: 20 chaos) but when you get to the ones who do respond they are all asking 1 exalt or something that isn't worth...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I got to Chap 8 of FFXV before quitting last time and just the thought of playing the game makes me want to do anything else rather than finish the story. First FF main title I've not completed aside from FFXIII which I just didn't play at all maybe if/when it's the last game I have left in my...

    Monster Hunter: World

    It's complete preference. Every weapon is good enough to complete all content and if you aren't bad you can kill everything regardless of what you equip though some will trivialize encounters - lance with diablos for example. In the scheme of things though it goes Skill > Gear/Weapon/Decos so...

    The Division 2

    I played right at beta/launch and quit because I found spending 15 minutes shooting a trivial encounter boss boring especially with no reward. Didn't have an issue with DZ, but I never really get up tight about dying in a video game regardless of hacker or 4 man gank. The game is solid now...

    People have been talking about that one for multiple leagues. -- Aside from all the derp this league has produced I've been extremely lucky. Aside from my Oni, I got a 6L usable chest drop and probably 5 exalts worth of loot to sell so far which is way better than when I've been doing SSF...

    What's with the DZ hate? In two months of farming DZ for div tech during the last Nov/Dec global event I might have run into a full PK groups a handful of times that decided it was worth killing me while I made chest runs. During that global event I got every single set of classified via Lex...

    Monster Hunter: World

    If you weren't using the PS save scum tactic then you are beyond lucky to get the attack gem or any specific rarity 7/8 with how the deco system works. For a normal person working the system not using save method they will need to meld thousands of gems. It's pretty dumb.

    This is my first league I'm not doing HCSSF and since I don't really care about pokemon I figured I'd go softcore and trade league for once while trying out less safe builds and doing content I couldn't push without extreme luck prior. I do prefer the mindless grind of mapping more than story...

    It'd probably be way faster to farm the 50-60 chaos or whatever Oni is now than to farm for him if you are at the point of mapping. I got mine in 5 hours but a lot of people spent/are spending 10-20+. I still pop in with my other characters a couple dozen resets a day and haven't seen another...

    If I don't particularly care about killing uber anything until late in the league when I can afford my end game gear is the best way to complete the atlas from buying maps? I've never pushed higher than yellow maps previously and I was mostly winging it.

    Grim Dawn

    It's true. I still don't understand how to craft correctly in PoE which is why I skipped SSF this league, but Grim Dawn has Shaman primal strike/savagery which is like my favorite build in any ARPG. So satisfying.

    My friend started a couple days ago and last night asked me if exalts were worth anything. He's gotten 2 already and is only L48. I ended up selling them for him and buying the gear for his build that he wanted. Needless to say he's happy and loving the game.

    I'm playing Molten Strike Jugg w/ Oni on softcore currently to test how it'll play out on hardcore.

    They don't have access to the internet? Cause that's what we use if we need to recruit and it doesn't take more than one person sending a few emails, getting some proofs and finalizing approvals. I guess if you're totally inefficient at your job that seems like a lot of work?

    Into the Breach

    I work for a large multinational media company so I'd say yes in my experience it's pretty easy to nab artists. Getting non derpy developers on a temp basis is pretty much aids though.
