    They haven't confirmed Jinx yet right? In the ZiggyD thing, they said they went with an american location for faster shipping, but when asked about Jinx, Chris didn't say yes(or no). You get the Axiom portrait in the Bloodletter one too, and the Vaal weapon effect is pretty cool looking, so I...

    Oh yeah that's pretty old, overall the UI isn't terrible but a bunch of stuff could be made better, like cooldown tracking, debuff tracking, TP tracking for teammates and such. All of this can more or less be made with ACT if you bother installing the plugins and configuring them appropriately...

    DFO: Dungeon Fighter Online coming back. Global this time.

    There's group content in endgame but shit's not ingame, and yeah rest of the time you pretty much solo. Can group all the way but doesn't really add much of anything. I'm still playing, looking forward to F slayers and 2nd awakenings. Thieves just got theirs on the kdnf test server, so it will...

    There's nothing else that actually matters really, it's just cosmetics and shit. I'm tempted to dump money on this and get the 260$ pack, but I'll probably talk myself out of it and settle for the 100ish one, I don't really care about the beta nor the points but I might as well support the...

    There's a parser for PC, in fact it's an old EQ2 parser with a plugin for XIV. Search for ACT(advanced combat tracker), and download the XIV plugin for it too. There's another XIV specific parser but it was fairly shitty from what I've seen and not as customizable, though the interface might be...

    Yeah there's a lot of really cool shit, including upgrades for people who don't have enough slots(BoT and the silver whatever that gives attack speed and you can consume it). Love the support space stuff, both ward types stacking and Arcane+Mek into a better item, frees up a ton of space for...

    They're removing Plink, so that's a plus. Probably replace by Necrovigil or some shit. Obelisk sprinklers if you're really evil. Supporter packs info was supposed to be today but apparently not.

    They have free weekends(even a free week a while ago), but yeah I said that before too, sub based games should have an automated system that lets you try the game again if you've been inactive for x amount of time after buying the game or what not. And yeah, I don't think this is going free...

    Oh he's talking about the new supporter packs, they sound pretty cool, I was thinking of dumping some money on these this time around and it seems I will since they have some nice stuff in them it seems. Full info on supporter packs is apparently coming tomorrow or something.

    Yeah WHM is awful for leveling, especially since it never changes. Good thing is you get fast queues so you can just run dungeons when you get bored of Stone II. Ran the benchmark, 11k score with DX11, says Extremely High, so I guess I'm good. I haven't updated my Nvidia drivers in forever...

    The starting at 30 bit is great cause I really hated the first 30 levels. It means you only do a couple of hours of Costa fates, and then straight to Coerthas FATE train, which tend to be way more efficient than everything before it. Though in the end, it doesn't save you much time since 1-30...

    Yeah build defining uniques are still an issue, crafting a bit less so. You won't craft the perfect items for cheap, but you can craft decent items or make otherwise shitty items into decent items(similar to D3 enchanting they added in RoS which lets you take this garbage legendary weapon and...

    I don't think they'll let you convert 50 tomes into 60 tomes, but maybe. The conversion rate is shit though, and it'd convert into the lower tier tomes, not the high tier, aka tomes that aren't capped and you can get running shitty 60 dungeons. Like in current game terms, you'd get soldiery, not...

    Pft, these are nothing compared to alchemy which can only desynth like titan weapons, zodiac turn in alchemy item and the last 4 star books for progress. It's all like 80k+ per item or farming titan(which stops giving good skillups at like 85). Good fucking times. I'm at like 93 or something in...

    The new stuff looks crazy good, besides the SCH skill which I can't even tell what it was supposed to be(I guess a heal or some shit). That paladin shield thing is awesome looking and DRG LB3 looks so much better than current LB3. Also fuck that whale primal Bismark looks huge as fuck. I...

    Eh, a lot of people were overhyped about act4 being "soon", but instead it's the beta so they really want in, plus the current game is dead since the 1month is over(and has been for a while for most people). And yeah it's getting wiped, more than once most likely, they said they'll probably wipe...

    Valve adds paid modding

    This doesn't sound like an absolutely terrible idea, the execution however seems to be way way fucked. They probably should have worked with Nexus and other mod sites to port an "official" list of the best mods, have a curator/greenlight system, have a lot of failsafes, and obviously, not take...

    The shockwave totems with the gloves look pretty cool, Havoc is playing that, makes Shockwave totem actually insanely good since mobs aren't push away from the totems but instead into it, meaning it's less risky for you and better for damage. They might nerf the pulling power though, looks kinda...

    Well it doesn't like, shotgun in the way spells did. Same way LA firing in a pack with fork/chain isn't shotgun, even though most targets will get hit like several times per LA. Heralds at 30% is still fine to run 2 of while leveling till 31 when you can get Hatred. But I guess it makes it a...

    Path of Exile

    Well I guess you could run double herald until then, assuming they didn't change heralds. And yeah I don't think they touched Tornado Shot at all, they did make other stuff better though, like Split Arrow doesn't look like total garbage until high level anymore. Problem is you still need a way...

    Path of Exile

    With herald of ice+hatred it's not that bad anymore, but it's still pretty shit unless you buy semi decent bows on the way. In general, attack based builds make for pretty poor self found chars, unless going like elemental builds which tend to scale better with shit gear. I think bow builds are...

    Oh right hadn't read it again and forgot that from earlier. Still good though as I said though even with 1, just having 2 or 3 blues would make that node super strong. Pretty easy to fit that amount of blues in newb gear if you use Goldrim and what not. Would be swapped out once you hit...

    Scion would be great for this I think, you get access to 3 jewel slots like literally within the first 20levels, and one of the area has resists nodes so you can grab 28% all resist for a few points investment. 3 of these, you don't even need that many blues to get crazy damage, like it's...

    Yeah, assuming translation wasn't fucked up, they mentionned you will need to finish the current story to have access to Ishgard. It makes sense from a continuity point of view, however it also means a lot of people are gonna be pretty fucking angry when they start playing the expansion and...

    I'd say, give crafting a try, you can get to 15-20 with mats bought from the NPC are the guild, you can see how it works in this game, it's using a minigame to craft rather than just "click ok to craft your items" and you rarely grind the same item over and over for leveling but instead craft...

    Yeah don't really need to filter until you get to map where even solo you can't get some pretty shitty situations going when a bunch of rare/magic packs are on top of each other and shit like that. Still would be useful for sound alerts on currency drops and stuff. Melee self found is pretty...

    New classes don't get a zodiac questline, so yeah it'll be either complete useless, or very slightly useful to skip maybe one step of the new relic, like go kill those 2 primals for drops and fuse into crafted weapon with materia, or bring me a zodiac kind of shit. Xhich would save you small...

    Never seen that happen since launch and ninja patch in newb zones. I've done Svara I don't know like 50times, both during offhours(1-2groups) and during main hours(20-40people) a few months ago and never had an issue with skills not firing or lag in general. I've tanked him a bunch too on these...

    Wasn't aware they had talked about it yet.

They also posted some fairly general beta changes(not like notes, just some changes), and...

    Some sort of NPC that is in your Hideout that sells shit for you while you're offline would be good yeah. I don't know how much they want to simplify trading though, nor do I care too much, I don't play enough to have to trade more than a little bit, which is mostly dumping uniques for chaos...

    To be honest, while 3rd party, the various parsing websites and automatic shop programs are such that it doesn't really matter that much.

    I wouldn't buy an account for the expansion, mostly because expansions are the best time to reset an account you sold and pretend it was hacked.

    Well now that it's a thing, they might add more of them over time, especially if they reuse existing models and what not. Kinda disapointed the skill reveal was basically all the skills they had talked about, and then a line about "5more skills to be revealed!". Like meh. Guess beta is soon...

    Oh it is a punch, all this time and I never noticed and the sword is so obvious on the shitty LB I assumed there was some sort of light sword during the LB3. Oh well that sucks since it's gonna stay on monk I assume and looks kinda meh.

    DFO: Dungeon Fighter Online coming back. Global this time.

    Well yeah while leveling it's not particularily useful especially if you have a dragon weapon. Still I explode bosses really quickly with it. It basically gives you a bonus dmg to the next skill you use after you Chain Rush to cancel a skill, and the bonus is fairly large when you stack up...

    Yeah I know they're staying, but I don't see Monk keeping the sword based LB. Tbh, the melee one doesn't fit any class particularily well since it's based off Omnislash and there's no sword class. Ninja maybe, kinda. I think they might replace all the melee ones and keep that one for Samurai or...

    You can only have one golem up, they mentionned that already. Might be uniques to have more than one though, but otherwise golems are meant to be a strong single unit rather than an army of stuff. Not sure how that's gonna turn out.
