It was fine and the "gender" thing was more or less a joke. Spoilers for the season for people who want to know how it ends / goes Wrapped up the show nicely from what I thought

Additional PTR datamining is revealing some interesting bits 1) Watermark bump chance from chests and elites is being heavily nerfed - like half for chests and much more for elites 2) The water mark bump is you get is being halved at higher GS levels - like for instance, instead of getting a...

Perks of a lower population server - queue of 63 lol

So mixed thoughts on their additions The good 1) Adding targeted ways to increase the expertise is good 2) Increasing viable elite POI (Mal and Imperial) 3) Adding additional ways to target specific crafting attributes 4) Making dungeons more valuable 5) Admitting they overtuned some of the...

Ya the SAM positionals surprised me, kind of an odd add

The naval PVP in this game used to be the highlight for me - cannon duels, boarding parties, using different ship types to accomplish different goals. If there is one thing other MMOs should copy from Archeage, it should be the naval stuff

Glad to see that the screenshots forum is doing its part to keep the board members healthy

Well you can bucket it into two silos which can interplay off each other 1) Live Service Game stability/ support 2) RMT in your games (DLC, cosmetics, etc) #2 is bolstered by confidence in point #1. People will not be willing to invest additional money into "shinies" or "boosts" unless they...

You get lots of cosmetics, emotes, and even store credit for having prime. Check your Twitch Dumping and moving on is a bad idea - you set the tone for future games. If people see you dump shit early, they won’t support future releases

So I finished the book. Spoilers including ending

Turbo has no real titles of note and it released at an odd time. Pre-snes but post genesis. Once snes launched its fate was sealed

I'd rather they focus on an actual expansion vs some half-baked "DLC" that add nothing lol

Book 9 came out today

I never really watched him either, but he was a major streamer on the platform. Youtube is getting pretty aggressive with these talent acquisitions as of late

Electronics Boutique used to be the same for a while. I used to call the bullshit on people that tried to return MMOs, though. I had a phone list handy that would let me terminate the account associated with the codes in the box. Surprise surprise, virtually every return turned into a...

Therapods were likely hot/warm blooded, like birds (birds are from the theropod line)

I mostly want the expansion

They already datamined 620 GS stuff. I do agree that the best solution to dupe issues is once you solve the duping bugs, then you introduce stuff that devalues anything that was duped.

Failures like 3DO and even Sega Saturn highlighted the need for the "magic console pricepoint". For the longest time, no one really wanted their console to pass the $300 barrier and games rarely went past $50 after PS1 saw a lot of success vs the N64 and its pricey cartridges. Of course, all...

It isn't always a bad thing - sometimes spitballing ideas can lead to some great concepts or story beats. Problem with Blizzard (especially as of late) is it feels like they are trying to shove something into an already packed suitcase and then just start randomly tossing shit out in order to...

SNES was definitely the king of the early 90s consoles One birthday I got the super scope - that bazooka looking lightgun setup for the game. Some of those games were hard, though. You actually had to lead your shots on some of the games, like that alien invasion one.

It came out like a year after the Sega Genesis in the US. The big draw was it provided basically identical ports to the SNK arcade games at the time, so the graphics and sound at the time were super nice

I just remember in years past they always nerfed the XP gains or the XP scaling made the prior expansion handins not really viable. Kind of like the leves - if you try to do a prior expansion crafting/gathering leve at max level for that expansion, it gives crap xp.

I thought the XP was always nerfed on those at xpac start

I remember when a kid in our school got the NeoGeo for his birthday, along with a game. That system was like $800 and the games were $200 a piece. I remember all the kids at the birthday being all WTF, we couldnt believe his parents were rich enough to splurge on that lol

That is part of it. A lot of the AoC mechanics are also fairly Shadowbane-like, which also contributed to the death of that game 1) Extremely punitive death penalty in PVP - people can steal your shit 2) Extremely punitive town siege penalty - players who invested in the town lose their...

The biggest thing they need to do is shut down the chorus that screams for the game to be anti-WoW, but in doing so, screams down ANY change that even sniffs of WoW. Yes, it's fine to not be WoW. But people forget that many core MMO improvements were popularized in WoW and are good things...

Supposedly the void damage has some wonky scaling in PVP

Only reason they are doing that is there is some very specific spec you can run with muskets that have a void gem slotted that lets you do bonkers damage in PVP. Outside of that very specific build, they aren't doing great damage

Looks like it will be down all day on the 2nd, so we can probably expect patch notes that day as well https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/66c7bfdd3769a795c105e7068671862c1558f95d

I logged in and didn't get squat. I did, however, notice that one of the last major 200 furniture person moved off server. So maybe in a month when you can trade furniture again, I'll be rich COPIUM

Interesting. There is a level 47 gathering bot on our server. One thing I noticed is that it takes long breaks between harvest runs. They're probably looking for stuff like "only harvests 24/7" as a red flag.

Side note, apparently they have reduced housing taxes by 90% until the December patch. Like I'm paying 40g tax on a large. The companies that control the town still get normal gold income they would normally, as if the reduction doesnt exist

Main things they need to do 1) Ditch tuning orbs completely, or make them fairly low effort to get (like they cost 5k faction tokens or whatever) 2) Ditch Arena orbs - if they want to limit shit, let you only get the reward chest once a day or w/e 3) If they are going to do mob difficulty...

Ed in this demonstrates why you can't do literal anime-to-live action translations for a lot of properties. It's always a Monkey's Paw type of deal. People don't realize the curse they are asking to be unleashed lol

This line stood out to me in their latest attempt at damage control Translation: People aren't running dungeons and we are too arrogant to admit our dumb fucking orb system as it exists is an abject failure, so we are still trying to think of a change that will allow us to save face

My server is such a shitshow right now So for a long time, server was fairly balanced. Yellow was a semi-underdog, but they owned Everfall and Brightwood. Everfall was the only territory that had not fallen since the first wars So about few weeks ago, a bunch of yellows transfer to our...
