    They generally don't do them right when they do a big new patch. More like 2months into a patch, and when events aren't on or so. There is a welcome back campaign stuff that still runs all the time I believe, but you need someone who has you on their friend list to invite you to that, so it's...

    Which is why they made them all available, because before some would never see use due to being super situational and only useful to pick if they could beat the "big 5" for your class, which most classes had. Like for pretty much every class it was 4 set in stone actions and then one swapping...

    I only quickly went through the story, don't want to spend too much time doing side shit I'll look back into it near 5.0, but current patch is apparently good from what I'm reading, the primal fight is fun and hard and the last raid wing is also fun and challenging without too much bullshit...

    Sure but it's getting worse the more shit they add, so they really should think about it. New player experience is pretty important for mmos and especially during new expansions, that's why wow always gives people free level boosts every expansion so they can just get a char up and running right...

    Oh yeah forgot about that too, it sucks dicks until you get the new ressource spenders, which comes way too fucking late for whatever reason. Same with MCH leveling, it's so fucking meh until you get heat management tools and suddenly it's pretty fun, then it ends because you're 70 right after...

    Someone posted a few posts above that they're lagging behind, but it's the usual XIV behind, as in they're slightly less optimal. I also remember the world first for ultimate ultima was with a DRK even though at that point everyone was saying they weren't as good, so yeah. That said they changed...

    Yeah some classes will feel bad to level due to lack of skills but other than that there aren't really bad classes. And then you have the usual mmo advice, tanks get instant queues, healers get fast queues, DPS get long queues. Long being 15-20mins generally speaking, but if you're leveling...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Yeah didn't expect much from the 2080. It's a large boost over the 1080, but it's also way the fuck more expensive so that's a bit of a shit comparison, and it's actually not any better than the 1080ti which is, the same price or cheaper. So seems all kinds of worthless. The 2080ti is really the...

    This looks a lot more interesting than "everything is T2 liquid mercury mirrors" in Battlefield's demo from earlier on. Mostly expect it to run like shit though, so we'll see.

    There's 8 characters total, you can only have 4 in combat, but you can swap in combat at any time(although they'll start with their turn spent, so they can't act until the turn after). They come with predetermined "classes", in the form of a skill tree you put points in to get specific skills...

    Finished DQ11, 140ish hours, pretty much all done other than stupid ingame achievements. Quite a lot of content in this one, even if you don't do as much side shit as I did. Post game especially was very meaty, it's like 25% of the entire game and felt more like 3rd part than postgame.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    I backed it but probably not playing for a while, I want to play the first 3 remakes before and those aren't done, only first one is done. So by the time I play it should be patched enough hopefully. But eh even if the game is hot garbage, the remake of the first 3 is probably worth the 10 or...

    JRPGs

    I'll say, and obviously this will depend on people and stuff, that it's not really great. It's a good game, but it's DQ, it doesn't do anything new really, like at all. Maybe for the series but that's cause so many of the systems were archaic shit, so you have fast travel in a decent way now...

    Path of Exile

    If the green was another red or blue it'd be a good summoner chest, but green supports are kinda meh in general. I guess faster attacks or something, say for summon skeleton+minion damage+melee phys+empower+multi/splash/added fire.

    JRPGs

    The items are super rare, I think I got 3 in 70hours, might be a way to farm them but it's not really something you find commonly. The way the system seems to work though, you'll generally get one pep per tough boss fight(if you're not stomping it too fast it'll do enough damage to you that...

    Harder enemies is pretty required if you want any sort of challenge, the base difficulty is basically easy. You can turn it off if you really dislike the difficulty but you can't turn it back on(unless playing on PC obviously, then you can edit shit). The others don't really matter and don't...

    Pretty standard shit for jrpgs nowadays I feel like. P5 was also fucking long. But yeah I'm like 64hours in and I feel I'm at least 10-15 off the end based on what I've explored, and then there's a bunch of postgame shit too it seems. I really like that they made it so you can switch...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah one thing is the spec do share some animations, so they reduce the amount of work needed for "classes", and they also don't have to make one set of gear every patch for every sub spec(at least I don't think they do? Or like just recolors of the same set depending on the spec it's for). So...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I guess at some point they'll run into issues, but having a lot of classes is "content" that probably doesn't take as long to make and last longer than most other stuff, with the downside of having to be maintained(balancing and such). Realistically though it's not that many, unlike wow which...

    The unconfirmed and probably fake leak said there'd be 3 classes, Blue Mage, Dancer and a Gunblade class, which would split well into tank/healer/DPS. That said it looked a lot like wishful thinking list, just the fact there's 3 classes seems unlikely, and the leak also said shit about adding...

    Story I guess is going to have a bunch of important stuff that you'll get spoiled if you don't play it before the fanfest and expansion announcement. Which is mostly why I'm going to play it sometimes next week or the one after, mostly do the story, clear the normal mode fights and gtfo until...

    You don't need to contact them, there's an option to remove games entirely from your account. It's in the support stuff, iirc it's similar to refunding the game but there's a specific option for it. You can google it, I know I found a guide to do it a few months ago when I wanted to clear some...

    Once you're far enough(like 10hours or so? I think it's when Veronica joins you) you get Zoom which lets you teleport basically everywhere you've been like fast travel, so you can Zoom to a campsite and hit a statue pretty quick. You can technically just leave after zooming anywhere too since it...

    French. And the dishwasher did end up fixing itself after letting it sit for a little while. Pretty sure it's an electrical issue like the oven, since it works fine the rest of the time. Just hope it can hold for another 2 months or so then it won't be my problem anymore.

    Path of Exile

    I mean like boss boss, not end of the map boss. Stuff like Elder guardians sound like they'd be a pain in the ass cause you start at 0 mobs, and building them just from hitting a unique is slow as fuck when it's only 10% to generate one. On Shaper guardians as long as you don't wipe you can...

    Path of Exile

    Soul Taker isn't really needed anymore, they reduced the mana cost by half so you can actually sustain it normally, plus since you're capped you don't need to dominate literally everything. Main issue of dom blow from what I've been reading is that it sucks dicks against bosses because 10%...

    Well don't know if anyone will but it's worth mentionning for people who want to max out everything perfectly, with seeds being rare drops and shit you don't want to spend too much time farming them, but for most people it doesn't matter. I just don't really like the aspect of getting super...

    It only killed one of my char but yeah the fight was pretty annoying. That's one thing I don't like about DQ, it takes way too long to get the stuff to deal with deaths. I think I have one yggdrasil leaf so far, the vendors don't have any, so anytime sometimes die they don't get xp and I have to...

    Monster Hunter: World

    The armor isn't so good I think, at least I haven't seen anyone use any piece in sets, but there's a lot of good weapons from him, they're kinda like a mix of Nergigante and Diablos weapon, high raw, high dragon element, low affinity. The HBG especially is absurd for cluster.

    Yeah I grinded a bit in the area but getting all 3 synced is stupid.
