    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ya, I understand whats happening its just the feel of getting hit by something and not being hit by its animation.

    For me its the floatiness of combat. Everything happens a second and a bit after its been queued up by the game. You can have a second or so left on your cast bar but still be able to move or the targeting for an enemies aoe be over while you are in it but you are well out by the time it goes...

    I hadn't played since ARR and bought the expansion in the 60% off sale. It's not hard at all, the game basically holds your hand through the entire process with the only thing you can possibly fail being when you are forced into group content (dungeons/trials). It will take a lot of time though.

    Just skip them all and the game gives you a way to watch the cutscenes later if you are at all interested.

    For someone coming back to FFXIV after a long break, whats the best way to get back into it? I guess I need to buy old expansions. Will pre-ordering the new one in November fix that for me? When I look at their site, it seems like I won't get access to the current ones until the new one releases?

    Not a lot of good faith exists between the NHLPA and the league.

    The problem isn't the owners being cheap, its that players are responsible for 50% of the losses incurred the past 2 seasons and can't exactly pay out the billions to the owners as a group in a short time frame. The cap is frozen to freeze how much players earn and make up the money they owe.

    Oilers still have a lot of flexibility. They have a lot of money coming off the books this offseason in Nuge and Larsson, only 2 big contracts in McDavid and Draisaitl and only 1 terrible contract in Neal. Their top 6 has been shut down this series but in the bigger picture its fine. They need...

    The stats back it up. By the expected goals model, which takes things like shot location and measures it against years of the same kind of shots from the same locations, he's been the 3rd worst goalie so far in the playoffs and worse than average. Its not Binnington's fault but he wasn't a...

    Well thats it for the Blues, swept in 4. Basically everything failed for them. Weak defense, failed to score even 2 goals per game and Binnington was among the worst goalies in the playoffs so far.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Ultimatum didn't go core. Its a league that very little work went into so its not a big sunk cost to let it go. How'd the latest streaming shit fix go?

    That comes with its own legal troubles as Twitter found out. When you give the reasons for banning someone who relies on a public image to make money you can be sued for defamation. The best current example is the James O'keefe lawsuit against Twitter after they gave reason for banning him...

    Reinhart can force their hand this season. If he takes them to arbitration, he gets a 1 year deal and will be a UFA next year. So Buffalo can choose to trade him now and get a haul back, trade him at the deadline for a rental price or lose him for nothing to free agency.

    Rangers have some different cap issues. They have been massively over the bonus cushion the past 2 seasons which takes a big bite out of the next years cap. If they arn't playing young guys, I'd assume its to keep the performance bonus hits of all their young guys down.

    Got to imagine Gallant and Boudreau are at the top of all these teams shopping lists for coaches. It will be interesting to see who gets them.

    Would depend on the Atlas. If you can manipulate it to get a Primordial map to be exclusive to a tier, maybe, but even then its probably both easier and more worthwhile to just buy them.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Criticizing their scoring isn't fair. They've been putting in 3 goals a game or so throughout the streak and have had the better of the play by a good margin. They've had defensive lapses but every team does. Ultimately they've been fine though, having kept Calgary to 18 shots tonight. They are...

    The raiders won't invade a planet so even if they bombard your capital for a bit they still will eventually go away, I'd have to look up the exact time frame. They also arn't a regular AI faction, they are a special faction added to the game to give a kind of mid game enemy. Default games have 2...

    I completely forgot about the degen zones. The zones are important to manage to keep an open field to move in. They don't deal a lot of damage so its easy to place them all on top of each other. I usually use the middle of the arena.

    The reflect moves were taken away from the bosses in one of the early patches this league, they may have missed one but probably not. As for the beams, make sure you arn't using dash as a movement skill and use flame dash instead. Dash gets hit by everything you move over while flame dash is an...

    Actually thats the argument Ariakas was making about Diablo 3. Gear can roll in a billion different ways in Diablo 3 but only a few pieces are worth using and so he decided that the billions didn't matter. It was applicable to PoE because Harvest makes that BIS piece of gear deterministically...
