Why? It’s the perfect time to do it 1) Mostly ignored feature that only stays alive because of onions for chocobos and a few other older crafts 2) Removed a point of contention about housing and potentially let’s them expand apartment sizes in future (only outside only things are gardening and...

The whole thing had that canned corporate feel. A bunch of devs talking to each other like they don’t already know the information. They’re just so afraid of live interaction now that they have to resort to this canned show. Even if you go pre-recorded, it’s better to be conversational with...

I kind of feel bad for that dev - the entire segment they just completely came across as they didn’t want to be in that video.

Island Sanctuary supposedly will have gardening. I wouldn’t be shocked if they completely remove gardening from houses and just push it over to Islands. They haven’t added any new gardening shit since Stormblood.

Eh it’s a double edged sword. Early WoW had a lot of pop culture references or meme stuff. A lot of that does age poorly - not that it is too “vulgar”, but you get some stuff that is less funny/clever or anachronistic. A beeper or VCR joke can be funny to older people, but younger people...

Ya, Ion said something like "flying in a sense", so it will definitely be some manner of incremental grind to fully unlock normal flight. If I had to guess, they'll probably do something where as you progress through each of the 4 zones, you unlock some dragon training thingy that lets you...

Didn't they slip some bullshit into their EULA in Starcaft2 or something where they basically had full ownership of any custom maps. Great way to encourage creativity - just say you'll get no profit from it in the future lol

The side systems were more interesting than the core xpac reveal, although that is in part due to how vague it was in terms of story. We go to dragon isle and stuff will happen. Granted you can’t blow your story load right away, but you want a decent hook if you’re trying to get players to get...

We Au Ra now

Communication in EQ1 was a side effect of its slow combat system - you spent more time waiting than fighting, and when you did fight, it typically required very little in the way of user inputs. Especially if you were a melee - auto attack and then maybe press some special attack button once...

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
