    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The game downscales you to the level of dungeons/raids when you queue up through the regular duty finder, so high level players can help fill groups for lower level content. Plus they plan to make some of the older stuff runnable with a NPC group, so worst case scenario no one was queuing up...

    Ms. Marvel

    The trailer made it seem like she is just wearing some cosplay Captain Marvel getup, so a bootleg costume makes sense in this context

    Ms. Marvel

    The trailer style looked like some odd mashup of iCarly and Scott Pilgrim. Looks more kid demographic, which makes sense because that is how they character had been marketed recently

    The engraving book GS limits never made sense anyways. You can easily use purple books while in T1, but they had gated behind T3 for done reason

    The Umbrella Academy

    The father is part of the Majestic 12 in the 2nd season and some members of the cabal make some type of threat, so he removes his human skin to reveal he is basically a lizardman and he murders everyone in the room. It was towards the end of the 2nd season.

    The engravings would be a big thing considering their cost on market - why they have blue and purple locked behind T2 and T3 respectively right now is fucking dumb. I'm starting to get fed up with this game and I'm not even in T2. Phantom Palace and Hildibrant are fucking HORRIBLE with pugs...

    Yup. Limited options plus most of us were young and had less responsibilities, so it was much easier to poopsock in school or whatever back then.

    Star Trek: Picard

    After watching these first 2 episodes, I think the masked Borg Queen we meet in episode 1 will end up being Agnes. In both episodes, they highlight how out of place/socially isolated Agnes is and how she doesnt feel like she belongs. The Borg Queen in the alternate timeline even mentions this...

    That would be ironic, since it derives from French lol

    Lost Ark Online

    That is a big problem with the game - I realize we are getting a well cooked game, but it throws so much fucking shit at you and does a pretty bad job of explaining a good chunk of it. There are some modest tutorials for a few things, but the journey to 50 feels like they toss stuff at you at...

    I dunno why some of you are so rabid in your defense of this game. You all admit the game makes money for smilegate by selling gold and materials mostly vs cosmet The game has mechanics that create psychological incentives to buy those things for real life money - spend X days grinding...

    No, the west has less tolerance for paid bullshit and boring grinds. Virtualy every single Korean MMO with these mechanics follows the same pattern: 1) Game is released. Players love the combat and great graphics. The honeymoon phase 2) game matures. More players are now hitting the...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Pretty much. Star Trek usually handles it two ways: 1) TOS version ofMirror Verse (Terran Empire) 2) Alternate timelines The first one they only dabbled with it in ToS, DS9, and Enterprise. But all the shows have done alt timeline stuff. Like Yesterday’s Enterprise (Q even name drops it).

    Twitch.tv

    I would agree. The only way a NDA is getting signed in that situation is: 1) He gets an adequate financial settlement 2) Twitch has some damning dirt on him that would be a career ender Given how long it has gone on, it has to be #1. Otherwise this would have ended long ago, unless it...

    Lost Ark Online

    That is one of my main concerns- as more people start hitting the RNG walls, the louder the dissenting voices are going to be. The whole system is clearly a “we designed a problem we will sell you a solution for system”, and once people realize the p2w nature of it all, there will be a larger...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    FFXIV did a good job of making you the main character in a story, so we’re always front and center. They’ve also conditioned the audience to accept a Gordon Freeman/Chrono from ChronoTrigger protagonist that is “silent” but is implied to still be talking to the characters. It let’s the player...

    I suppose it remains to be seen how much of a reset button post-EW ends up being. If they eventually get enough content, they could let you start post EW

    Yoshi P has talked about a possible alternative starting experience at some point, although didn’t give details. Trying to retroactively make the early expansions solo only friendly makes me think they could eventually squeeze in an expedited experience. Kind of like in Lost Ark where you do...

    New teaser posters show Butcher with glowing eyes, so that seems to suggest they will be following the comics and they’re going to Compound V themselves to better deal with supes.

    His statement is vague enough to make me still think both parties had to sign some non-disclosure agreements. Resolving the case suggests settlement, although I doubt we will ever know the details any time soon.

    Wasn’t that revealed to be one the first new classes being added to NA/EU? Also on the topic of gold, you do need some gold early game. They immediately throw shit at you which requires gold to do, like the stronghold quests which require items that cost gold to make or research. You don’t...

    The Live Letter explained that Castrum and Praetorium will both be runnable with NPCs. Castrum they insinuated some major changes for (they talked about not needing to wait for Cid, for instance), so I wouldnt be surprised if they streamline that dungeon and cut out a lot of the dumb fucking...

    Lost Ark Online

    You clearly haven't been paying attention to AGS and how they retreated on RMT on New World. It isn't out of the realm of possibility they wanted to soften or scale back a lot of the RMT/P2W shit in LA. Every Korean MMO that goes hard on p2w always dies in the West once the the shininess...

    Lost Ark Online

    Right. And this was changed. Why? Because they know the west as a general rule hates p2w bullshit in MMOs, so they're trying really hard to entice players to stay and hopefully swipe (if not for gold, then other shit). Check out the forums. People are already getting sick of honing RNG...

    Like when Jesse Cox was playing through it, he was theory crafting about Crystal Tower. Then he got all psyched when the payoff to that theory crafting came multiple expansions later

    Lost Ark Online

    But if you make gold hard to get, then it gives gold sellers even more power, because now you're introducing an obstacle that people are more willing to pay money to bypass. I recall people who played pre-western release that in the KR/RU versions, gold was hard to get and you had to run alts...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You’re misreading or misunderstanding. Post-ARR pacing feels bad because your essentially chain running content that was released in pieces over years. That is why post-ARR has a bad habit of recaps literally moments after you did a quest that just explained that, or a bunch of random fights...
