    Torrents

    What do people use nowadays to download torrents? I'm still using uTorrent on my old PC, it's an old ass version from before they plastered ads everywhere but since I'll be switching to another PC as my torrent PC I figure I should use something that was actually made in the past decade or so...

    Playstation 5

    There's no way consoles go past 60 next gen, there's no reason to, they don't even go to 60 consistently currently and if they increase the image quality further and keep doing 4k, there's just not going to be a way to display that at more than 60FPS anyway. Like even currently on PC to get 4K...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    The trick to claw machines is to no try to actually grab stuff and instead pull/push stuff around or get any sort of part stuck into the claw(like the labels or knots or whatever). But yeah I guess otherwise you're right, I didn't know they adjusted the strength of the claws based on payout...

    Playstation 5

    Unless it comes out with some wicked exclusives, I'll probably do what I did with the PS4 and buy one 1.5years later when the price drops(or well try to, last time I bought one 3months before the price drops because I wanted to play Bloodborne, which in retrospect wasn't worth not waiting).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah it's slow as shit which takes some time to get used to. Gets kinda better when you have more abilities especially oGCDs but not every class does. I like it though, less frantic button mashing than some of the shit in wow used to be(probably still is but haven't played in forever).

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Claw machines aren't gambling, you put money in then you play a game of skill to get a prize you selected. You can see what you get, and there's no randomness involved(well not more than anything else). That's quite a big difference from paying money to get a random reward with hidden odds...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    The new trailer is way way better than the older ones though. Like yeah the game is still a bunch of shit and an overpriced scam scheme, but graphically you can clearly see massive improvements over time. Even the last time they showed Squadron42 shit to now is a huge improvement. The main...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Reading an old guide, apparently that was a thing, although I don't remember doing it. You could tank swap to a warlock for shadow resist on the caster. Flipside is if you fucked up the swapping and you had the melee emp on your warlock, you were going to get ass raped. I think we just had...

    Path of Exile

    They don't? They just buy them. Tabula you can farm yourself in Acqeducts once you're near the end of the leveling, it's good xp, easy layout, you can farm it nicely before you finish Kitava and lose your resists, get all the cards for it in 1-4hours depending on RNG, less if you just buy the...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Meh, having Obsidian games on Windows Store only would mean I'm not buying them. Plus who knows what they'll be doing in 2years when they release the Xbox 8 Infinity and decide that instead of letting devs do whatever they want, they should stop and make new Xbox 8 Infinity exclusive games...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    At 15(or 20 I forgot) it was the super useful Aquatic Travel Form. The shit you used like twice for questing and never again. Good for fishing tournaments way later when they added that iirc though, although Shaman water walking was better I think.

    I remember we took a chinese farmer from Azshara to MC and gave him all the rogue drops for fun. He loved it and kept saying thanks stuff in broken english and when we were going again and shit. I think he got banned not long after, he was one of these guys that had several Krol Blades for sale...

    Thing is, let's say he wants to play at most 5 other games than HS per month(maybe more, maybe less but that's just a number). He has the choice between some 10k/h shitty mobiles and some 5k/h blockbuster AssCreed/Farcry/CoD/BF shit or some 1k/h indie game that he actually likes/want to play(say...

    Have to consider it from a long term(or well medium term) point of view. Playing garbage games for 10k might hurt your viewership, which will then snowball into losing a fuckton of money later on. Anyway this isn't too surprising although a bunch of people weren't aware of the kind of money...

    Monster Hunter: World

    IG is pretty simple but has some quirks. Do look up a basic guide because I've heard ppl using the IG and not finding out about buffs until 15+hours in, and that's basically like using Lance and not using your shield. Really it's just, ALWAYS have red buff on. You should never do anything but...

    Been looking at various parts and stuff since I'll be building a PC by the end of the year or so. It's pretty funny how little choice there is for a case that doesn't have all these fucking stupid ass lights or transparent facades so you can see all the stupid lights on all the fucking parts...

    Total War: Warhammer

    They are updating VC in the same patch, skill tree and mechanics. They're also adding a free DLC in that patch, although it'll be TW:W2 stuff, new lord for something not sure what, maybe Malus maybe Lizard. They should definitely patch more often but eh. I assume Greenskins and Empire will get...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Some news, not too surprisingly, the next race pack for TW:W2 is the Vampire Coast army. It seems they actually made a full army, at least with a bunch of unique units that I don't think existed in the tabletop version. Looks pretty damn cool. Also seems to add what the naval battle mod did, so...

    Monster Hunter: World

    From what I've seen in most situations, pulling doesn't save you that much time is all I was saying. It does save you time and ultimately in the long run you might want to do it if you're chain farming for efficiency, since it's still going to save you something like 10-20secs on a 2-3mins kill...
  22. Pyros

    Monster Hunter: World

    Shoot flash or sound things at the ground, monsters will come closer, reduces the amount of time it takes to farm. Honestly if you're not speedrunning it doesn't save that much time, and some places/monsters it's not that useful I think.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Dungeons actually get faster when you level up, vanilla dungeons I think are the slowest overall. They won't get crazy faster, but 15mins or so is more typical of a post vanilla dungeon(even in vanilla, once you start hitting the 50 stuff it starts going faster too). Obviously once in a while...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah those tend to be pretty good for AU/NZ play but also in general when playing mmos because you never know when some fuckers will decide to not repair lines or route everyone in the evening through the same shit and basically make it unplayable. I'd say in modern times, having a VPN available...

    RIP Telltale Games

    I guess in a world where your social justice score is the only relevant value, meritocracy would put this score over all other things, because you "earned" your rank/position by being the best most progressive most accepting most allied greatest person/perdaughter in the world. That'd be one way...

    RIP Telltale Games

    The sales would probably have been good enough if they had the right amount of people working on each of these games. Which would be less than 10 per project probably, with some overlap between concurent projects for some position. The games really didn't need 50people to work on them for what...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Na horde, I can't really remember threat ever being an issue when I was tanking, until AQ at least. But I think we always had a shaman in tank group though, the guild leader. We had one in every group iirc, and some groups had 2, lots of shamans in our guild.
  29. Pyros

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Thing about threat is it only mattered when people were threat capped which didn't happen all that much until fury actually became good, which as far as I remember was around AQ40 too or maybe some point during BWL once people started getting geared there but at that point everything was on farm...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I remember we respeced our tanks(myself included) in AQ40, but shit was really not that useful in MC or even BWL as far as I could remember. Prot had a lot of garbage talents in vanilla and a lot of shit that didn't work in raids like the stun shit(good for pvp though ironically), until it...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This wasn't just about the frost attacks though, it was also the poison cleansing totem, since he spammed poison aoes constantly and shamans could remove all poisons on their entire party with one totem, versus having to single dispel everything as alliance. The frost stuff was actually kinda...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Not sure what's the official official place, but I think the program will trigger most antiviruses all the time regardless because it's made to scan and edit memory, so it could very well do stuff Viruses do. Pretty sure cheat-engine/cheat-engine is your best bet since it's the open source...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Have to download the CheatEngine which will load that file after that and should be simple enough to use. I've only used it once a long time ago but it wasn't really complicated, even for figuring out how to modify stuff on your own(have to do it like the old action replays on consoles).

    Oh I had forgotten about that shit, I remember some retard in my guild grinding this in Hillsbrad and shit to get rogue weapons. I think I made it to 10 or something but past that it was just pure stupidity.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well the thing is, it's XIV, everything is gated behind the stories anyway. If you don't like HW, you're not gonna like SB either, but you'll have to do all the SB story to get access to most content. I guess you "only" have to finish the 4.0 story to get access to 8man raids but a bunch of the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I wouldn't skip HW, it's kind of a waste, and you can use the base story to level up at least. Problem if you skip it and then want to do it later, is you'd have to roll a fresh character and go through vanilla MSQ again, which is a pain in the ass especially since you've already done it. Also...

    Started playing this, so far loving it, really high quality stuff, good music, solid graphics and art style, fairly average story start but the setting is interesting at least and combat/controls feel nice.

    Valkyria Chronicles 4

    Yeah if you haven't played first one you might as well buy that since it's basically the same game minus a few improvements, one class and a different story(which isn't relevant if you haven't cleared either), for a lot less money.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I did similar stuff when I leveled all classes to 70, although sometimes you get "fucked" because of an early queue pop, I remember it happened every now and then on those stupid mount quests in Dravanian Highlands, queue pops halfway, then you come out of the dungeon without the quest...

    Valkyria Chronicles 4

    They're tactical RPGs. Turn based, you get a certain amount of action points, do the action on your turn for the units, stuff has various numbers like distance you can shoot, ammo, aoe of abilities etc. Plays more like FF Tactics or Disgaeia or some western ones like X-Com than a traditional...
