Banana pads are the best shoulderpads.

Having the Fire Bat/Lava Slime/Demon/Imp banners while working/clearing for your hellbridge helps quite a bit as well, because they basically come nonstop (and demons come in groups of 2-3 at times, filling the screen with scythes) And completely useless anywhere else as they only spawn in hell...

Ah, just that I never used the heart lamp/campfire stuff in previous patches, or the timed heart statue gigs. Never really felt the bosses were that insane where I would need them, and most of the time I never used the food buff. Expert is a huge departure for me on that aspect, as now I pop...

Yeah, I swung at the Wall last night with a bridge about 1/5th the length of hell. Wasn't nearly enough haha, but I did pick up an autofire bow with 3x the damage of minishark, so I'm gonna give that a go (I doubt it pierces, though I haven't tried it on anything important yet) and probably...

I'm doing Expert now, made a lot of progress since I posted. Eye/Worm/Skeletron down, going to farm up the mats to summon the bee, and I've already got a pretty long bridge for Wall of Flesh. Using campfire cheese wasn't necessary in standard, but it pretty much definitely is for Expert if...

Haw, expert mode is pretty damn rough. Devourer of Worlds has the little projectiles that hit for 100 damage, and my screen looks like Ikaruga while fighting it. Eyeball wasn't bad, but Skeletron takes like... no damage from my attacks with meteor gun and meteor armor, so definitely need to...

Nah, there's some descriptions in a few of the books about it being post apocalyptic. In SoS, Shea gets poisoned by something that is described as roughly a cyborg monster, in the ruins of a modern city in the mountains. I don't remember it being a thing in Elfstones or Wishsong so much...

The third is probably the girl whose father steals the elfstones at one point. Can't remember her name, but she's with them for most of the book. Really wish they would have done Wishsong instead, because Garet Jax is a badass. Oh well, the footage looked pretty interesting. edit: What...

Aside from the obvious that it is a guy on a skateboard and the pool is clearly empty... maybe he's a rebel?

If you have rested, it should be 150%. The bonus for any class under 50 is 100% before anything else is added. Post 50 it is 50% base as long as the class is lower than your highest. This is of course only for monster kills (like Draynar said) and the Fate completion bonus is just the...

I don't think I've ever read a strat for FFXIV and I've done pretty well for the most part. If I've never done a fight, I just say "Hey this is my first time here, anything I should keep an eye on?" and if there's not important shit for me to take care of, they say so. Otherwise most people...

Yeah, when mindlessly gathering I use my 360 controller on the PC, or when doing fates and not chatting much. For most dungeons you can probably get away with a controller pretty easily while tanking/healing, just might get sketchy in the harder areas or in fights with lots of shit going on.

Given how often it seems to come up these days, Japan is really worried about VR stealing their otaku nerds. Episode was pretty good, though.

They had to have tip-toed about EQ's market share quite a bit, I would imagine. Not to mention that the "emotional attachment" is fairly limited to a group of, at most, 100k accounts, though I would hazard that is quite a bit smaller. A large portion of that userbase are the people who...

I mean... it's digital legos. That other people can see/play with/whatever while you are running around building stuff, and it's persistent for the most part. If I was 10, I would have blown my first load playing this game probably. As an adult I enjoy dicking around with it every now and...

Strike that, just checked ingame. Alkorin and Jaen were the only names from here that I noticed having invite powers to the linkshell. Then a bunch of people who I have never seen on.

Jaen Mandar, ingame name for poster Nehrak. I think AladainAF (Rexie Soulstar ingame) also has powers, but I could be wrong.

Yeah I liked that and Rokka quite a bit. Shimoneta was pretty funny as well. Watched Okusama and it ended on an interesting note. Definitely not the complete awkward anime guy in that.

Generally speaking, the forums have derided cash grab games, and anything pay to win or similar gets most of us writing it off instantly. The fact that stuff to do in the game apparently directly correlates with how much you spend on the game, aside from box fee and sub price/whatever, is just...

I've definitely noticed that a bunch of 60 i170 drks are not normally tank players from doing the player search info checks. They may not be popping cooldowns appropriately or what not. I haven't messed with either of the extreme trials, as I'm playing Bob the Builder with all my...

That's the thing. Paladins/Warriors will pull all 5 and the mobs all die and I might have to pop like... shroud to get mana back 2/3 into the fight. Some will pull two, but most have grabbed all 5. But then Drks will consistently grab all 5 and they consistently (in my experience) take 2-2.5x...

Level to 60 with whatever method you like (since you just hit the expac from playing a lot, you probably don't have multiple levels worth of rest xp) and hopefully you are tanking/healing to get super fast lower level dungeon queues. Do your roulettes, work through the main quest and get your...

Awesome. They took the 2.5d screenshot from the english website down, but a quick google of devilian shows the imitation diablo3 graphics nice and cleanly. Entire enterprise reeks of obvious cash grab with misleading advertisements. Remember that stupid game with the half naked fantasy...

Yeah, for top end raiders who play one class and don't do crafting/gathering and put in an above average amount of time since early access, it's more like a content patch with a lot of stuff they don't/won't use. Honestly really similar to the lapses between coil increases, since nothing else...

It's still good to pop it 3x (insta-cast the first for the quick stun, then DR kicks in hard on the second/3rd) because it is still a decentish AE, just not pure god-mode like before. I'm not sure what's up with Drks, but even chain healing them with mind'd/blessed cure 2s(with regen on...

I dug the story and read every word, including sidequests and job quests and what have you. The JRPG comment is exactly spot on, as there are probably hundreds of games in that genre that have long, voiceless cutscenes that are daisy chained together. Granted, I've been a lore whore in every...

Careful Synthesis I however takes the RNG out synthesis success formulas though, and is good right up until you get weaver 50 where you never use it again. That 10% fail on basic is annoying as shit, and 22 CP for steady could easily be spent on another touch/higher touch instead. Knowing 100%...

HAW. Classic 2.5d view asian grind rpg it looks like. Trion has become Aeria Games.

Easy: as long as he has more than one clone out watching the fight, he sees everything that's happening. So he can use the 64 Trigram attack or whatever when he's doing his clone thing. Kind of sad this is ending so quickly, as it showcases to a degree just how OP the original characters are.

I'm not talking about instanced dungeons at all, I specifically referred to them using instancing to control populations in zones. You'll see this in most new games or initial expansion pack zones in popular ones. They use instancing so that you don't have 400 people fighting over the same...

God, thousands of players in an area sounds absolutely horrific. Hundreds is bad enough. I think, for the content at hand, EQ had a pretty decent number of players -per server- with the rough 2-3kish numbers. 1k people in EC though, even if technology permitted? Absolutely nope hah. With...

That makes EQ noteworthy. Doesn't make it great. And EQ2 was a weaker seller and never hit similar numbers as the previous installation, nor was EQOA a major seller either. Though I will say, the PS2 offline games were pretty cool. Otherwise, that is one "Franchise" that had a bunch of...

Nope, not yet. Just from reading information on the game and reviews of it have I formulated my current opinion. It might be pretty fun, but it looks a lot like minecraft lite with a little deeper progression system. Haven't tried EQN yet either, but literally everything about Landmark...

They saw literally 10s of millions of people playing minecraft, and wanted part of that market share. EQN saw the same thing and wanted their own piece of the pie, but clearly lack the ability to take advantage of it. I think they both missed what made Minecraft what it was and focused instead...

Not even real lootbags, at release. They were secondary currency that only had an effect on one slot of your inventory. Good xp depending on the invasion, but really the least best thing to happen. Warhammer's Public quests were the best initially, but I think FFXIV's fate have beaten that...

Yeah, if there's no second series it ended pretty well. Food Wars was interesting, but it danced a little bit close to food porn imo. Enjoyable but it felt like an obvious two-parter almost the entire way through.

If it's your first character there's basically plenty of quest/sidequest stuff to get you to 50, as long as you are hitting your hunt logs you'll be fine without fates (especially after they added the daily roulettes). With secondary characters, you have sub 50 leveling at 100% bonus xp for...

Immersion mixers (don't know if yours is hand-held or not, mine is) are great for making sauces and dressings, especially if you are making them in the container you are storing them in. Simple rinse and done for cleanup. I use mine at least once a week at home, more if I've got something I'm...

It only takes a couple of hours to hit 10, where you can change classes and then play as a rogue. And since the xpac just released Gilg is at super high pop quite often for the moment. Your options are make a character on another server and then use the paid transfer service, or keep an eye...

Addendum: completely forgot they upped the beast tribe dailies to 12, so that makes the process progressively faster as you move up through ehcatl reputation ranks.
