    They should at least be limiting the level that you can communicate at. Worked well as a deterrent for some other MMOs.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    They made the $1,025,000 stretch goal, which was (as far as I'm concerned) one of the more important ones. The other important goal was multiplayer/co-op, but that was $4 million, so... yeah. Wasn't gonna happen. Also, they didn't make the voice acting goal, which might actually be a bonus...

    Um. Just no. Broaden your horizons a bit.

    Child of Light Ubisoft "jrpg" x-platform.

    Appears they did. So, the aforementioned "fuck that" is tentatively withdrawn.

    Child of Light Ubisoft "jrpg" x-platform.

    I want to be excited for this one, really, but... Ubisoft. If I need uPlay to play it, fuck that.

    It's a JRPG. Of course there's chibi art involved. What were you thinking?

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    Here's hoping someone steps up, but it's fairly certain they're just about done at this point. I still think it'll be a great game with the talent they have; I'll also always wonder what it could have been if it had been mega-funded like some other projects.

    Kickstarter - Project Phoenix - Indie JRPG

    37 hours to go, $854,000 is the Kickstarter total right now (and about $25,000 via Paypal direct). Doesn't look like they're making the next stretch goal, which is really a shame. They set out some pretty ridiculous stretch goals, though, so here's hoping they claw that back a bit and say...

    The King Henry Tapes (By Me!)

    Created a Ceinwyn Dale on the FFXIV server to pay homage. Near to an Aeromancer as I could get, anyway. Hey, it is the self-proclaimed RP server of the lot. I could have some fun with this.

    It's the open source closed server concept!

    Yes, 7 days is better than 0 days. Is 7 days enough to offset the login server bullshit that we've all had to put up with, given that it has existed since early access? What do you think?

    Don't know if this has been posted here yet. From their Facebook page: 7 free days. Whoop-di-fucking-do.

    Ahh, that explains things, my gladiator is at 17 I think. Concentrating on getting MRD to 50 first. I think I might get GLD to 22 before I finish the story at this point.

    Entirely likely as their login servers are the crux of the problem right now, but we'll see tomorrow, right? Edit: I wouldn't bitch if there was an inactivity timer, but I don't care one way or the other anyway. If I leave the game on for longer than a day or so, it becomes unstable when...

    First point... yes, absolutely. Most tanks suck. This is true in every MMO, but in this one, especially in the later dungeons, there is less forgiveness for a shitty tank, because most other classes can't absorb damage or park mobs for shit, and your healer has to really think on their toes to...

    AutoIt anyone? There are better ways of doing this, but this is good enough. Timings (and perhaps pixel location) may need adjusting depending on your rig. The key is to check for a black pixel before the 4th click (meaning 1017, as the screen goes black). If you just hit numpad 0 over and over...

    Pebble Watch

    I still wear mine. RunKeeper integration is great, and there are more and more useful watch faces and apps every day. I do wish they'd iron out some of the persistent issues with iOS but that's more an Apple thing than a Pebble thing, tbh. I'm told the watch is more useful with Android devices...

    Oh yeah, I'm a huge SE fanboy, but this is shaking even my resolve. Not as much as 1.0 did, mind you, because this is just a mostly unavailable good game. 1.0 was a mostly unavailable steaming pile of dog shit.

    No matter how anyone wants to white knight SqEnix, there has been almost nothing good about this launch. Those that could log in were plagued with incessant issues since Early Access began. Those who couldn't create a character to join their friends probably either didn't play or demanded a...

    It runs quite well on max settings on an ATI 5870M, which is 3-4 years old, so you're probably right. A far cry from the original release, which ran like shit on the same card if I remember right.

    My code is clearly registered, but I can't see any indication on my SE account that it is there. Might have something to do with my having registered 1.0 back in the original beta, because I have a 3 year old registration for FFXIV, so... who knows. I'll find out on Saturday, I guess. I tried...

    I did this: 1. Go tohttp://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com 2. I chose English-UK, because I'm Canadian and I say coloUr, eh. 3. Logged in, typed in my 18 character code. 4. Got an RAAU code back. 5. Profit! I'm not sure if choosing English-UK made the difference, but when I chose...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    You can't take fan base into consideration, at least, not as your primary metric. Remember, millions of people watch Honey Boo Boo, Jersey Shore, TMZ... shit TV is shit TV, no matter how many people tune in. That said, I agree that both the shows you mentioned are great shows, and I would...

    Reddit is working overtime being reddit. Doesn't take much for them to manufacture bullshit. I mean, did you see their group in /shout all over the place claiming that Gilg is "their" server, and trying to run people off? It was a bad joke.

    True, but they can generate shields for damage absorption as a skill, which is useful.

    Yeah, it seems that there will likely be several paths to getting most bosses dead. Wouldn't really make sense to pigeonhole every tank into becoming a Paladin as it would render the job system somewhat less relevant. I'm going the Warrior route myself. They just look more versatile to me at...

    I sincerely hope that there are situations that require both types of tanks. This mitigates the entire situation.

    The folks that got their BFL shipments "in time" will make some money. People like me, who ordered later, don't stand a chance of making anything, because of their abhorrent shipping schedule. I got a reply from BFL today reminding me that all sales are final and that I wouldn't receive a...

    And the idiocy continues. I posted a pic with an arrow pointing to the MQ2 window in that video. Kegz deleted or moved the thread and posted this shit: Amagads, these are seriously end game killer hacks!

    Re: Earlier worries about 3102s, etc: I don't find it a concern at all how they handled the issue(s). It was a beta. I'm willing to forget all about it. The real test starts on Saturday. If they fuck that up... then I'll worry.

    EQ - The Sleeper

    I think the point is that he (Kegz) is under the impression that this isn't MQ2, that it's something new and that it's somehow different than the shit people have been doing since MQ2 was made.

    Am I missing something or is that just some kinda elaborate MQ2 script/UI?
