The Instagram raid drops got nerfed. After Plane of Tumblr had all the epic porn removed, Citadel of Instagram shadow banned the “suggestive” drops that weren’t overpowered at all, claiming that they didn’t want to risk hurting casual noobs.

Japanese post offices also have ATMs that accept foreign debit cards. I think them and 7/11 are the only reliable ATMs for non-JP cards.

Because you vastly overestimate the market for a 20 year old grind design. I mean fuck, even the grind happy Korean market is getting sick of it. Eureka in FFXIV is basically EQ1/FFXI style and tons of people hate that shit.

Oh ya, for some of the old temples and old Imperial palace, expect to take your shoes off. The old Imperial palace also has intentionally creaky boards, as they were designed as a low-tech motion sensor (makes it nearly impossible to sneak around lol). IDK what you're talking about desert...

When I went, I visited Kyoto and Tokyo. Tokyo has been talked a bunch about already, so for Kyoto. 1) Kyoto isn't really known for it's food, so just keep that in mind. It did have some decent French bakeries when we were there, though. 2) Can visit the old Imperial Palace and some awesome...

If you see a quest icon that has a + in it, that means it unlocks something (dungeon, raid, etc).

The whole crafting / boost quality was pay2win and that was day 1. “Your shit has a high chance to blow up unless you buy our cash shop items, in which case it still has a chance to blow up but slightly lower!”

FFXIV hit a good note with crafting, IMO. Some of the BiS stuff can be made with crafting, but you need really good crafting gear and strategy to craft it at high quality. Otherwise, you can get rare materials and make cool glamours/transmog items. It's also fun. They're not the first MMO to...

I've watched some streamers play this. Looks kinda fun, like an updated Left4Dead.

Archeage didn't fail because they tried to cater to a wider audience, they failed because of lack of meaningful content, stupid nerfs (hur hur, let's equalized vehicle speeds so we can sell faster vehicles later, then nerf them after people buy those! ), and blatant pay2win gameplay mechanics...

Well, logged in to find my FC had abandoned the server. Was kind of surprising, since nothing had been posted about it ingame anyways.

Ya, the difficulty in EQ1 was usually how many bodies you could throw at a boss and if you had enough tanks/healers to deal with the deathtouch bullshit the SOE devs used as a crutch.

It is, but I never had the patience. I have a bunch of soils rotting in my bank lol

Sarah Connor Chronicles went full multiverse. They realized whatever they did only impacted their timeline, but Skynet wanted to maximize the number of timelines where it wins. They had one episode where 2 characters who traveled from the future slightly apart both experienced a different...

SWTOR started the whole companion/mission running stuff, which WoW and FFXIV adopted

This. Farming seru bane or poison resist gear blows. It is an artificial way to extend content longevity by forcing people to grind situational items with little usage outside specific fights.

You have to be -really- careful with "I can fuck up shit you've been working on for a year" mechanics, though. Games like Shadowbane, or even as recently as Atlas, show that people can stomach bugs to a degree, but if they lose everything they've put lots of work into and feel like it was...

Ya, with the removal of loot lockouts in Omega and Osbornne, 0 reason to not get geared. I'm really curious how the server visit is going to fuck with the economy of other servers on Crystal. Balmung's economy is less inflated than other servers because gold sellers were locked from making...

Verys will kill Euron. Euron will be sitting on the deck of his ship and Varys will suddenly be behind him. Euron will be all surprised, asking how he got onto the ship. Varys reveals he is a merman and the entire time he was manipulating the land walkers to make Westeros ripe for the taking...

They tried that once before with mixed results. FFXIV does it a bit and seems to have some decent success, but people don't riot because you can get decent ingame glamours as well. The biggest plus to MMOs is if you get your playerbase invested, you can have a very loyal core that will play...

NCSoft are shitbags who give 0 fucks about Western IPs, so they probably were warming up the lawsuit cannons the second this was leaked. Secret shit is secret for a reason usually, especially when it can have major consequences.

It got really grindy I recall and if not specced right, it was pretty tedious. I had a technology blaster because I liked gadgets. My hero had a gas mask, fedora, and wife beater shirt on. My friends thought my hero looked dumb, but I didn’t want to admit it. This was pre “mlady” meme. I...

Pretty sure that was strategic. Maisie needs a career post-GoT, so she needs to shatter the "i'm a kid" stigma that can impact what roles she can get. You see other actors do the same where they started young, then got older. Daniel Radcliffe tried pretty hard to get away from Harry Potter by...

Cersei: I wanted elephants *Night King army arrives with zombie mammoths* Cersei: wtf

They will lol. Like others have pointed out, this is going to be the farewell episode for a lot of these people. One last happy memory before they are brutally murdered by undead.

Yes. It's also supposed to be like 90% battle and they kill off a fuckton of characters. Ghost finally appeared after being MIA for 3 years, probably means he's dead too lol

The giant story had me fucking lol, especially with the shit he was drinking and how he was drinking it.

Considering how fucking lit the next episode is going to be, this episode was like a giant cocktease lol

They haven't uncapped weekly rewards yet, but Osbornne Monestary gives 380 gear. If you collect tomes (now capped at 900/week), you can also buy 390 gear upgradable to 400. Not counting the time investment, that stuff is all free. You're better off saving your money or speculating on what...

Whenever they do episode budgets, they usually are just averaging out total production costs and dividing it by # of episodes. However, when you look at the actors they have for this and the fact it will probably have movie quality special effects + sets/costumes, I could easily see 10m per...

Will it be the COH where they censored all the Nazi faction stuff after they released the game in Europe?

Ya, I wouldn't overreact yet. Don't forget they also plan to consolidate certain skills and revamp others, so even if a skill is removed, there is a good chance the benefits from it will live on through something else.

For those that still play, looks like game will be RIP end of June

The show hasn't dealt with time travel except the one episode where that woman from the future is trying to sell the Orville to collectors in the future. Thus far they've painted a...confusing picture. 1) So in that episode, the woman from the future saves the Orville from being destroyed...

Ya, there was a def shift in the POV, where it moved from him as a central character to much more ensemble, although even in season 3 he was still the central core of the quest. Season 4 was the first where he didn't really feel like the central character, but then they kind of touched on it...

Leaked finale to GoT

I don't play Hammond, but I want to buy this Play of the Game highlight intro for him

The Fillory Time thing could maybe be due to the overabundance of magic? Technically from season 2 to season 4, there had been issues with the magic supply in Fillory, so they could maybe use that to explain why the time dilatation effect was muted during that time.
