    66k sounds kinda low. Pretty sure it was closer to 90-100k at 50 but I forgot. You get double xp for HQ and double xp for the stuff with a star next to it(and they stack, so you get 4x xp for star+HQ). Amber comes from any 50+ leves, but if you get them from a chest in a normal leve, you...

    You can even check the items you need via the timers window, so you don't have to go there. Then I used that for the 50 levesCrafting as a Service | Final Fantasy XIV ARR Crafting Informationbut it hasn't been updated for 50+ stuff sadly, otherwise it's great to add a bunch of items(use the...

    Hmm at your Grand Company. You can turn in one item for a lot of xp and some shitty old GC seals, and if you turn in HQ you get double the xp, then on top of that they have stars next to some of them that give double base xp, so you can get like 500-600k xp just for one item turn in, however...

    Leves are good and probably the better way to level crafting, along with GC daily(if you're not in a hurry). Once you're 56+ you can do shit for blue scrips or whatever but that's like terrible for leveling I believe I read, and it's mostly still about leves. You can use them to level an old...

    Path of Exile

    Tempest looks nice, mostly because it's avoidable if you get a shit one and it's not just "harder and harderer" shit on mobs, with one mod being super rare that gives better rewards. Warband looks like exiles/invasion, so not too interested.

    If you could get them there would be a decent amount on the market, but at least on my server there's like 3 of grade 5 materias, which mostly likely came from combining. I mean literally everyone was given several sets of white shit to spiritbind then convert, so even if they were rarer than...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The only way to get grade5 materias atm is to combine grade4 and be lucky. They're not currently in the game from conversion, it was in the patch notes, they'll add them once they add the rest of the crafting shit.

    Google ACT FFXIV, it's an old EQ2 parser, there's a FFXIV plugin for it. Currently broken due to this maintenance's patch but will probably be fixed in a couple of hours.

    Heroes of the Storm

    On the trailer thing they show it cast on a group of people and it only catches one, so it's fairly bad in that regard. It's really only to lock down an annoying evasive hero like Valla or Lili or whatever, so you can beat them into the ground, but in teamfights it's not gonna be that helpful a...

    Terraria

    I'll probably have to reinstall and replay this again at some point, will wait for the most likely hotfix patches plus I'm already playing stuff atm. Looks really good for an update this late, tons of stuff. Expert mode sounds excelent especially, since the game had the tendency to become a bit...

    DOTA 2

    Sheever? Partly, but she's not half as bad nowadays, especially since they never get her to cast stuff, she does analyst desk discussions and stuff and does a pretty good job at that. I'd say the most important person missing from the list is LD. He hasn't officially said why he wasn't...

    Once you're in Heavensward questline, you probably want to keep watching the cutscenes, the story is a lot more like the 2.4-2.5 stuff than the original, it's always pretty solid, lots of stuff happening. It's really well done overall and kinda feels like a real FF story from start to finish.

    DOTA 2

    Kuroky played Techies in a pro game like 7-8years ago during one of the last big dota1 tournament, it was the first time I actually saw the hero(I didn't play dota1, but I started watching games back when I started playing hon) and it was great. Tobi was casting too, was when he was still young...

    Hmm weird problem, I'd assume you could just make a different steam account and buy it then use that key. You could try gifting it to yourself too, not sure how that works tbh.
  15. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Hmm no, all the cutscenes are in the inn. However there's a bunch of sub categories which is not obvious when you first look at it, I remember back in 2.0 it took me like 5mins to figure out where the imperial arc dungeons stuff was, but it was indeed there.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The power creep though. Good thing is it makes all those "good but not a set piece" legendaries worthwhile again. I like the changes they're doing to this game, I wouldn't mind buying another expansion at this point. I actually wonder how they're making any money to fund these patches though...

    In 2.0 raids, there was basically 2 healing styles, you were either the Scholar, which was mostly DPSing and helping with damage prevention and emergency healing here and there, and White Mage which was basically solo healing the entire thing with the help of the Fairy from the SCH and the SCH's...

    Na the only mounts that fly are the mounts you're given in Heavensward(3 of them), the Griffon from the CE, Twintania from the recruit-a-friend thingie and your GC chocobo and fat chocobo from original CE. I don't think anything else flies. I know for sure beastmen stuff don't.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah you migth as well do that. You do need to hit 15ish to get the airship quest to go to Limsa and become a rogue if you don't start a class there anyway, pretty sure the boat is only unlocked after that. If you're up when the server comes back up, you have a good chance of being able to...

    Yeah the trial roulette helps a lot since it still rolls the old trials in it, and it gives a good amount of tomes, so that's not so bad. I did it earlier, got steps, was like 5people at 50+(bunch 60 myself included), so new players don't have much of an issue, and they have priority for queues...

    The story is like A LOT better in the expansion. There's no real completely shitty stuff in the middle like you had in the original, you still sometimes do basic tasks but most of it is fairly epic and it feels a lot longer since it's so condensed instead. Really love what they did with that and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Both the previous answers are correct, you need to have done the lvl 19 quest to attach materias(it's the same questline that lets you convert your gear into materias when it's spiritbound, it's in Central Thanalan, a bit northeast of Black Brush, Mutamix the goblin gives the questline) and then...

    There is book stuff added, but as far as I could tell it either's AST/DRK/MCH weapons(like primal crafted stuff and allagan weapons and so on, which at this point is entirely glamour) or airship stuff, so not particularily important stuff. Also as a general tip for everyone, make sure to turn...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Not sure what type of gear you need. The new stuff's difficulty is around 3stars, but unlike the 3star stuff, it costs jackshit to make and a NQ still gives xp anyway, so there's that. There's no minimum stats either, and it's not book based, it's just a new category of 51-55 that goes after the...

    Fucking low level queues as healer/tank are longer than DPS, stupid ass machinist no one wants to play it.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's very few differences, mostly GC mats, since they didn't post all the new items. You can see the items on the Lodestone though, including primal drops and shit like that. AST weapons are GSM based sadly, hoped for ALC to give it a bit more value since GSM already does jewelry for every...

    Didn't have an issue, but I downloaded yesterday. Was capped at 3mb/s, which took like 30mins or whatever, and 3hours ish for the rest of the client(clean install).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    All the non digital retailers are supposed to send those today, on release day. It's a shitfest, I guess they didn't want people to cancel for EA or something. As for Patch Notes, probably when Lodestone goes back up, read that it was still down, extended one hour. Edit: Nvm it's up, looks...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Well in QM if the guy's under account 25 and hero 4, he doesn't have a choice, I know I did like a couple of games with Leap before I had WotB unlocked. It's not THAT bad as like counter initiation, people tend to clump up trying to kill whoever's the idiot in front and you just go WAAAHHHH and...

    0, not for the expansion. I mean, 10mins early or so maybe, but it won't be like 3hours early or whatever.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I really liked Sonya when I played her, her damage output is pretty ridiculous I found when you use Wrath of the Berzerker and start spamming those smashes and shit. Also pushes crazy fast if people decide to ignore you because "lelz sonya is pushing, who cares". Like you can keep WotB for a...

    Guild Wars 2

    Seems there's quite a shitstorm going on reddit and the official forums about the pricing and the base game being included. I'm not sure how they thought selling the base game at a discount right after they announced the expansion even though it wasn't necessary to play the expansion was a good...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I'd be fine with 10x xp, just so you can dump leves faster and it being less boring. Sure the 10x leves will be longer to complete I'm sure, but probably less so than doing 10leves, which involve a lot of running back and forth and you have to redo the same leves over and over. It lets you...

    DOTA 2

    Maybe they watched the game just before where they picked Bloodseeker jungle on kuro? Don't know the order of the picks but they might have counterpicked BS with BH for that, and then they ran it as core instead and the BH became kinda useless. Anyway pretty good games so far, that VG vs VP was...

    DOTA 2

    Well the Bloodseeker/Zeus thing is kind of a pub strat but a pretty solid one(if you remember that Nigma video where they could instantly kill the enemy team from their own fountain with Furion+Zeus+Bloodseeker and some refresher, hilarious shit). Interesting they went with Jakiro/Darkseer combo...

    Yeah I really don't know though, I've seen the videos from various people and they're fucking shit, so that doesn't help. I don't see it being worse than WHM regardless. From the looks of it, regen stance, put some regen on yourself, dot 2-3 mobs and then aoe to finish them, heal back and rinse...

    FATEs are worth it when there's a low amount of people(clear them quickly, get credit for most mobs so you get a nice amount of combat xp on top) or if there's a lot of people but you can manage to tag most mobs. Tagging mobs first gives you full xp, regardless. Not tagging them means you get no...

    Even if you had a static, since they're staggering raid content, there's pretty much no point. I think the only people that do need the preparations would be crafter/gatherers, as hitting 60 first would give you a decent edge, but even crafting shit is being kept for the raid opening, so really...

    You generally farm ponies through PF, not DF. There's farm groups, you join one and farm it a bunch of times hoping you get the drop and win the roll. Class doesn't matter that much for these groups in general as people can change, but you do need to get in early as a DPS most of the time...

    Heroes of the Storm

    They could just make it scale, or add a penalty to rezing that is reduced as you level up or whatever, plenty of ways to deal with it. The passive looks really strong though, since you basically keep vision of people and stuff as you're dead.
