Depends on how you classify that. I would agree that in a general sense, if you looked at the overall % of population where that was a strong influence, then that would be more the case in the past when the country was more religious as a whole. JFK had the whole issue where people thought...

FFXIV does all of the above Raids or Dungeons can drop housing items You can craft them - and some crafts require special items from raids to make You can get them as quest rewards You can get them from vendors (reputation, regular, or special currency) You can get them from PVP And most of it...

At this juncture, the game is really being held back by its engine in terms of what they can present. They had that major graphical update to player models like what, 10 years ago? Even with that, they seem to be limited in how complex they can make armor since a large majority of it is...

Gross oversimplification. It isn't so much Christianity, but the Evangelical sect of it that has been injecting itself into politics. Honestly I could care less what religion people practice. I only give a fuck when they try to force their millennia old doctrines on everyone through...

Cry more, shitter

I do wonder why they never developed housing - it sticks out like a sore thumb. There is either a limitation on the engine that prevents them from making anything more complex than a garrison, or they're just dumb.

Like others have posted, the Pratt hate brigade online seems to stem from the specific church he attends. AFAIK he has never said anything publicly that controversial, it is more of a "guilty by association" type of deal.

That is a long term weakness of the game. You need alternative means of "advancement" besides +gooderer gear.

Nice! I had tried for that one too and lost. Probably the best mansion plot in that zone, IMO.

That isn’t the reason why. FF14 lets you be everything on one character (although alt jobs are down leveled). Neither is omnicrafting - good fucking luck leveling up all your crafts anyways. If someone slogs through that mind numbing grind, they deserve to have the skill Alts just creates an...

This is the bigger issue - you need to add engaging content for people who don’t want to do mythic raids. Doing rep grinds for months isn’t engaging content If FF14 can fix its pvp and get people to love it, WoW can fix its casual content variety and complexity. In theory

True - the only thing you really need from the MSQ is the upgraded Azoth staffs

You're best bet is to hope to find a bored high level that will just power run you through the dungeon

They posted some tweets on their JP and NA accounts, acknowledging the issue and investigating it. They're usually pretty good about fixing these sorts of things, so I suspect we will hear more in the next couple days As for what you can own, per account you can own 1 apartment, 1 FC room, 1...

Reddit is full of posts with the housing lotto - apparently whoever coded it left in '0' as a possible result, so people who were literally the only entry were losing because the system rolled a 0 That seems like a pretty big oversight lol

There was a sign at a homeless camp that said "Sanctuary District" and when Rios is about to be deported, they mention they are bringing him to a Sanctuary District near the border. So at bare minimum, they are aware of the DS9 episodes about the Bell Riots.

Yes, I'm sure she cries herself to sleep every night on the pile of money she makes, sad that she is being judged by some randos

Kelly was the sniper, right? I remember in the Fall of Reach novel she was one of the few Spartans to survive, although she got massively fucked up and basically had to be put into stasis

I actually like how they handled the whole Picard mom plot this episode I also liked how they actually explained why Q hated Guinan - although I had to laugh that it was basically because her race could summon Q like they were a genie from a lamp lol. Also the end end was kind of dumb. "Law...

She could pull a Belle Delphine: Get popular, vanish, then come back and get more money, then peace out from her online persona

They completely retooled PvP, including abilities. A lot got trimmed, or they became context sensitive and will replace certain abilities on your hotbar. Ya the final boss theme is pretty damned good. The arenas themselves are also a little interesting (the 1st and 2nd)

If I had to guess, the B plot shit on Madrigal will lead to that Covenant woman finding the kid

Samurai feedback is likewise poop. People are saying the potency nerfs on our main burst DPS abilities results in lower damage even factoring in the crit. And our level 90 ability was mega nerfed and does shit damage vs before

Killer Rabbit event https://www.newworld.com/en-us/news/articles/rabbits-revenge-spring2022

maybe the scene at the start with terrorists gunning someone down? Lol I remember we used to call that style of van “terrorist vans” for years afterwards as kids

If he doesn’t change the “die and lose your shit” or “town blows up when mega guild owns it and you lose shit” mechanics, then long run it will be a lower population niche game. I agree that you’ll see a month or two of strong interest, then as people start to lose, they’ll just quit. In these...

Part of the problem with FF14 1.0 is the devs who did FF11 thought using EQ1 era game design was fine and applied that to 14 with barely any updates. Plus their development was incredibly siloed to the point the different silos almost started conflicting - like the classic example YoshiP gives...

Final patch notes https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/808eb196b065ebd1b6ec130fac1402d99f7f90a4 I like how Samurai’s PvP limit break is basically Odin’s ultimate attack lol

Supposedly they are just going to get merged into existing servers, but ya - they overshot on the free server counts

Pretty much - Woodrow Wilson's wife could in some regards be considered the first female president, since it has been strongly suspected she was running things in Woodrow's stead after he suffered a massive stroke.

I have had dev powers, I would: 1) Uncouple town upgrades/progression from PVP and make it PVE powered - Have players vote for upgrades, etc 2) Buff siege in wars - at the very least, make it so siege emplacements take at least 90% less damage from players. The fact one asshole with a bow can...

The game is still heavily dependent on the overall server population and player engagement on that server. The game really wasn't designed with lower populations in mind, given how towns and their upkeep scales

Prelim patch notes, lots of QoL stuff https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/2811826dd341d0bc5b0a0e804bc253b189f43f0e

Ya, they even have a quick shot where you see the wormy hunter leg in Cov armor on the ship before she gets into the pod

I liked how they introduced Cortana - gives them a chance to make that character grow as well and better explain the Master Chief/Cortana partnership. Plus the doctor is pretty fucked up - conscious, sentient flashclone of her earlier self and basically murdering it to create the framework to...

20/hr in that region with guaranteed OT and benefits maybe, but housing/rent prices are going to still have you living with 5 roommates unless you have other income streams helping out

Best part of the new episode was the Borg Queen, who I think should now be called Harvey

I'm sure there are plenty, but getting salty and risking criminal charges because some drone delivering a Harry Potter book to a house down the street flew over the corner of your lawn was a step too far is dumb
