    Personal housing is pretty garbage and a really quick rushed job, but I didn't care much about it so doesn't matter too much to me. I assume with the backlash, 2.4 housing might be a lot better too. Lots of cool changes other than that, besides the stupid gamepad bug that seems to be really bad...

    Yeah Coerthas is probably the biggest zone in FFXIV and it's fucking ridiculously large. Don't know about EQ, but it takes about 10mins on mount to run from one point around the map and back, and all of it is heavily populated, has points of interests, cool looking stuff, caves that add a decent...

    Healing with a pad is kinda rough in 8man. It's doable for sure but like, it's not easy. Selecting players and shit is kinda slow since you can't really just click the player you want, you need to rotate through the roster with the up/down D pad. In many fights though all you do is target the...

    "At the following time, in order to accompany patch 2.38, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable." So yeah, not really a secret. Though they've been more than silent about what will actually be in the patch...

    I'd say it has more to do with fast travel. You only travel to new zones once on foot, after that you always TP there. You don't memorize zone positions compared to each other or how they connect because you don't need to walk for 30minutes to get somewhere. There's also as I pointed out the...

    Hmm, all shroud zones are forests, all thanalan zones are deserts, all la noscea zones are islands/seaside stuff, they all connect to each other at the zone line by showing where you're going. There's a fair distance between them on the world map though, which implies you travel when you cross...

    Well 2.38 should be next week and 2.4 with coil 3+Shiva(I think that's the content) should be about a month after that so like 5-6weeks yeah. Though I see a lot of people also complaining how the reward isn't worth it or how they have nothing to do cause they cleared coil 2 months ago so eh...

    Chrono doesn't affect Rubick if you steal it. Doesn't affect Void either though, but he doesn't get the movespeed bonus nor the additional bash damage procs. Also of note, Chrono automatically reveals anything frozen in it. Good for ganking stealthers. It has a few weird interactions with...

    Well it's the day of the weekly reset so there's more people doing stuff than the other days, but yeah I don't know, I assume they have a bunch of ghost servers but the ones I've been on were decently populated(moogle) to greatly populated(ultros). Like lots of people in town and people in...

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    20bucks only? Wasn't BG:EE like 50 at first? Sounds great, even though I'm not sure when I'll find the time to play this, will be a good filler. No release date though so who knows.

    Iirc there's a couple more than that that do nothing. There's just more than you need in the world cause some are optional and you need a certain amount to progress the story. Can use them as full heals I guess.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well yeah obviously that's the problem, that's what makes high end raiding such a niche thing, the time commitment and finding the right people. I don't wanna bother with that shit anymore either, so I don't. I'm fine with not being able to do 2nd turn until they add 3rd coil and add Echo to 2nd...

    Maybe he means bosses. A bunch have like high dmg/instant kill mechanics, it's more annoying when it's the tank that gets hit. Though, most of them a tank will live through just fine, so it's not really a big deal. Other than that it's just generaly awareness tanking stuff. Stuff on the ground...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well it's kinda like every game since wow, tanks pull so you kinda need to know where you're going. Worst case you get someone else to show you where to go, not that many instances have multiple ways and shit. On the raiding comments, well Coil is designed for a static group pretty much...

    Overheal generates threat, same amount as normal healing. This is why Medica is such a shitty spell if you use it poorly, it generates a fuckton of threat. Also why you spam medica even with everyone at full health to get gold reward on hunts(assuming you're in a group and do need to tag the mob...

    Overrides, any weapon with Tenebrium damage is considered Tenebrium(so if you add tenebrium, it now uses the tenebrium skill regardless).

    DOTA 2

    Interesting that they changed item usage restrictions. I totally see why, I guess it means now trolls will only be able to get the courier killed with the items or brick the courier with branches(since you can't remove them, courier becomes useless). Seems like a change for the better though.

    Oh I love RPGs, but I don't think there's 8-9 of them, or I missed some. Bravely Default, the 2 etrian, Fire Emblem and then what? Pokemon I guess but no interest in pokemon, and zelda but not like jrpg really, more like zelda. With Bravely Second and EOU2(and potentially EOU3 if they do that...

    Actually bought mine like 2weeks ago. Not that many games I was interested in and the price never fucking goes down here in europe. Been playing it a lot though during that time, I finished Bravely Default and almost done with Etrian Odyssey 4. Have EOU and I'll probably pick up the zelda, but...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah multi is probably like ME3, its own thing. I played like once I think and didn't care about it, and they said they used a different team to do the multi anyway so it's not taking from the single player experience, probably the same for DA:I. Looked pretty garbage to me, if I wanted to play...

    Hmm you don't have the what's his name aoe dot spread skill? Wanna say Bane but that might be the SMN nuke instead I haven't played the class in a while. Only thing you do in dungeons is stack dots on one mob then spread them, and if the mob you're targetting doesn't have dots anymore, then it's...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Do you mean a focus unit frame? Cause I don't see why you'd need Target of Target on a DPS class, unless you're casting through the tank, which I guess is nice if you don't want to manually click shit but is a good way to dot the wrong shit too if he mistarget before firing an ability or...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well there's a lot more to grind than a single class though. Even assuming you don't want to do crafting/gathering, you still need a bunch of sub classes for cross skills. And then it's fairly typical wow-esque where most of the game starts at cap, rather than the leveling experience. If you...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Rogue mechanics are definitely not very intuitive, the scaling AP cost of sneak in combat, the lack of clarity of the effects or wether or not they stack(backstab+guerilla), the fact you can resneak over and over and so on, it's just weird mechanics. I did some research when I started mine cause...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Guerilla is double damage. You pay 150% of the AP for 200% of the damage, it's always good. Granted with daggers the ap/damage ratio is a lot shittier, but still good, only Bully(conditional) and Glass Cannon offer more damage for a talent. Unless it's 50% and they didn't update the description...
  26. Pyros

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Well that's kinda the problem, if you don't sneak, rogues are garbage. You have to sneak and have to have guerilla. I don't see how a Death Lord matters either, since you're stealthed at the end of the turn, or should be. Unless they turn around to target something behind them(bad positionning)...

    Maybe a bit later than 15 but not too far, Hunter's Edge guy just outside is basically first thing you see in the zone and stocks a lot of legendaries, homestead eventually has a vendor that stocks a decent amount too. Just doing these 2 every level is fine to gear up almost entirely in...

    Oh yeah that's what I meant but like back then, you couldn't do that shit at all. You had to dismiss your companion to mount(any mount, including chocobo), and then you had to resummon it whenever you wanted. Now you can just mount it without the constant unsummon/resummon. Made it annoying as...

    Path of Exile

    AA is always good if you can run it without the downsides(mana issues, which EB should cover fine). It reduces a lot of the smaller hits, acts like a solid base of armor really, which is great combined with acro which generally lacks the mitigation for hordes of smaller shit, and it also...

    New ninja short gameplay video, looks pretty damn sexy: Also logged in for an hour yesterday, had no fucking idea what I was doing. All my UI shit is gone since it was on my older PC so I had to start redoing gear sets(which is painful, I have like a billion of crafting armor sets in my...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    All plate armor comes with some base resist. The higher the quality, the more resist, and level ranges increases the tier too so you get higher values on higher gear. At 16+, legendary chestpieces come with like 40% base or so. Then you use a Ruby on it(need 5 crafting iirc), and that adds like...

    Caliane the only thing you need for a warrior to move well is like 2pt blacksmith, use chestplate on anvil, it changes the movement penalty into a movement boost. As soon as I started doing that(didn't figure it right away mind you), my warrior started having more movement than my rogue did. Can...

    It kinda says so right on the trial page thingie, I remember reading it. Also I guess it depends on how much you play, 14days is more than enough to hit the cap on like a combat class and a gathering class, so no market would be quite annoying. Game's free for a week at the moment though. No...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That's a fair point. It'd probably be better if they had a system where you can spirit bind a second set of gear without unequipping your gear, but they'd need to tweak(read nerf) the rates a lot and that'd be worse for a lot of people. Maybe let people extract materias from their gear without...

    Archeage

    They should probably make it on by default and let people turn it off with a disclaimer that if they get hacked at any point with it off, they'll be on low priority support for restoration. I really don't like doing the auth shit myself so I run without them when possible(aka when there's no...

    Those Neo Geo games were fucking godlike though. Like they looked so fucking good and ran a lot better than SNES games and shit.

    Also because leveling alts seem to be mostly done in instances nowadays, since quests are a one time thing. So the only people you see questing in general are first timers, making every zone fairly empty besides like gatherers/fishers/bots.
