    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    30hours? What the fuck is that, weather trouble preventing landing after an across the world flight? I flew to NZ from europe and it was pretty long but it was like on the other side of the earth so that kind made sense, iirc it was only 17hours though.

    The Wii U version probably ran at a much lower resolution, and with less details, so it running better isn't particularily surprising. What is surprising is the fact they'd focus on making the game on Switch look better instead of run better. Nintendo has always been pretty good about getting...

    Yeah it's like the 3DS it'll probably price drop by the end of the year or so. Not worth buying now especially with no good games other than Zelda and can just wait on that/buy on Wii U/play on emulator.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I can't even list a single component of THIS computer without opening dxdiag. I do research for like a week before buying a PC then forget all about it cause I really don't give a fuck until it's time to buy a new one. Vanguard still ran like shit and crashed, and passing the zones was like...

    Photo Synthesis | FINAL FANTASY XIV: Developers’ Blog Btw found that stuff pretty interesting, I don't know of many mmos which bothered with such features other than Black Desert, but they're adding what amounts to a "Photo mode" that lets you setup cool pictures and what not. It has quite a...

    Why are you redoing all the crafting? New account? Shit was a pain in the ass cause of all the gear, it's only kinda ok if you keep all your crafts at the same tier or have like 4retainers for a while. Luckily I had maxed all crafting before I quit playing heavensward, I don't have any of the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They do banwaves and a bunch of users got banned, but a bunch also never got banned, so it's unclear wether they're detecting it at all or if it's just turbohud users being also more prone to using bots and what not. They made the UI less shit a while ago though.

    Yeah NERD, stop playing childish video games and get on with your life. This forum is for serious discussion about Pantheon, not some silly electronics games and nintendos.

    I think you can buy subs with ingame gold, so kinda? But you still have to actually buy a sub, at least that's how I think it works atm, but I haven't played in forever.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Oh yeah I always hear people talking about Vanguard say how much the classes sucked and that's why they didn't play, not because the client was piece of shit that lagged and chugged and crashed all the fucking time or that the game had no endgame while still having relatively fast leveling, or...

    It's actually over Free Login Campaign Comes to Eorzea! | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone Was until the 4th. You can always do the new account trial but it's capped at 20 so it's kinda garbage other than getting a couple of days for free before you sub.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah all things considered, it isn't shitty Comcast, I live in europe so we don't have data caps and I can generally pick 2 to 4 different ISPs for my shit so they don't have stupid prices or offers. I mean I've been living here like 6years now, and haven't had an issue with internet other than...

    Honestly thinking it'll be too expensive. The 3DS was like that too iirc until they price dropped it a few months later and released the 2DS in the US and shit. So like 350 or something.

    So monday last week was playing games and shit when I hear some noise outside my appartment. 2mins later, internet goes down, no signal on the router. Go outside, it's some guys installing internet for someone else, so tell them they must have fucked some of my shit up cause it went down...

    So it's not officially confirmed yet, but on some websites Zelda's date was moved up to march and apparently there's bundles with the Switch being sold and that Twitter lady that had a bunch of the leaks that were confirmed correct about Switch also said it's being planned to be bundled. I guess...

    The 20th aniversary thing is like they all sat down for a meeting on what to do, then they said "ok, what is the bare minimum we could do for this?" and then they decided to do half of that.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They haven't talked about much really all things considered. The expansion is still 6months away so they're still on teasers and shit, especially since they probably didn't lock all features just yet and see what they can get for 4.0 and what has to be pushed back to 4.1. Yeah in theory PS3...

    Album with the slides which have most of the new stuff New 8man raid is Return to Ivalice. Also Yoshi was wearing a Spiderman T shirt. In every other Fanfests, his T shirt is a hint for the next job to be announced. Speculation so far is that Spiderman refers to Bluemage. Bit by a spider...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Well I assume it's a lightning demo or something, but the gif actually has 3 phases then a loop, and the links between all 3 phases(basically each room the character is in) look very disjointed and the background resets weirdly. I assume it's intended because the only point is to show dynamic...

    Well I'm definitely not buying one at launch. Maybe if Zelda was done by that point I'd consider it, but unless they have some crazy secret project, shit's gonna be terrible at launch. I'll pick one later on, if the 1st party games are good or if they end up porting a bunch of 3DS stuff...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Didn't mention any sort of value or saving from getting a switch, it'll be full price games for new games but the point is, they're new games. You're not buying a new console to play old games there(although Wii U games being re-released could be nice since I didn't buy a Wii U), even if the...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Well technically, it's quite an improvement compared to their previous console, so that kinda works out. It isn't compared to competition though. Anyway don't care either way, I'll buy if good game and I won't if not. It's not like I have to spend money for a console for a bunch more years...

    DOTA 2

    The amount of talent isn't relevant? If Icefrog wants to change 20things about a hero, he didn't need talents to do that. The amount of things that can be tweaked increased, but the amount of things that will be tweaked isn't necessarily going to be higher. This patch is probably not a good...

    DOTA 2

    Doesn't seem any more of a pain in the ass than "Hero strength growth reduced from 2.2 to 1.9" and "Mana cost rescaled from 10/15/20/25 to 15/20/25/30" and all the other shit. That's how Icefrog balances and every patch is just a long list of minor changes with a few big ones. I mean even that...

    You can get perma sprint from an AP unlock I think? Plus you never run out of stamina if you do the thing where you get a second wind. Basically you release the key when you have like 5% left, and it refills your entire bar instantly, so you can sprint forever as long as you don't mess it up.

    They say that in the regions they have these, only 30% of the people actually buy them. And people will still level their alts manually rather than pay money I think, at least a lot of them will. Meanwhile new players definitely won't buy the overpriced leveling shit to begin with cause they...

    From the post, which for now is only for korea and china, it's 2500yen per potion(about 20dollars). There's one potion to skip the story clears all the story up to Heavensward, unlock all aetherytes, all dungeons considered cleared and you can watch all the cutscenes at the inn as usual. This...

    There's a bunch of decent heroes, windrunner, batrider(can easily see him too since you fly), phoenix(tree clearing is fairly large so don't need that much precision), vacuum(although this one apparently is a bit weird cause it pulls before breaking trees so monkey king doesn't get stunned cause...

    DOTA 2

    I've seen him lose a lot, in fact he's very binary I think, people who understand his strengths do well, but people who don't seem to absolutely suck at him. He's squishy and has no escape, so if you're not dominating/manfighting, you're gonna get rolled over. Also if you spend all your early...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah the passive is dumb cause it's like a way better ursa swipes thing, but he gets a built in positional tool at the start of the fight AND has like twice the standard melee range, and once it's at 4 he's like a living god and his Q does like Lina ult damage. Probably need to tweak the...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah no, I mean he's pretty OP, but his Q isn't roar, it's a 2secs stun, it's basically a fissure but it does high damage since it counts as a normal attack and always crits. Sven's stun is also 2secs, for comparison. His ult is also different than Riki's, he's not invulnerable during it and has...

    Maybe you played with some but didn't know cause the good ones would probably either not speak or speak english.

    DOTA 2

    He tends to be a bit technical, but he's a good hero, picked in competitive pretty often too. Trick to glimpsing into stuff is to just glimpse first then cast the rest on the marker, unless you have a really good feel for the glimpse rewind time thing and can remember exactly where the hero was...

    Lol watching a random pro game from some chinese tournament, CDEC vs EHOME, 61mins game, 69-67 score, everyone lvl 25, most people 6slotted including the supports, Jakiro with like 1200 attack range and deso/deadalus sieging buildings like a sniper, shit's pretty hilarious.

    DOTA 2

    Nimbus definitely looks good but it reminds me of Furion's Agh where it feeds the enemy a ton of gold so you better end fast. The lvl 25 stuff didn't look that interesting cause it was very uncommon to get 25 before but from what I've seen people reach 25 a lot faster now. I guess the bounty...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    That's a bit hard to say honestly. The story and characters are anime standards. That doesn't mean it's like anime in its style, it's more made up to western tastes but the tropes are very anime(then again the anime tropes other than the little girl shit tends to be similar to western tropes...

    Yeah expect a bunch of updates, they weren't done testing at all, they just had to stick to the date they announced or whatever. They made 8 updates in a day on test and reports of various bugs, some gamebreaking from a competitive point of view were still coming in. I think they use test just...
