They added an autogrant system after a few years, so you get all the AAs for free up to the latest few expansions. Catching up still takes some work, but it isn't actually virtually impossible like it would be if you had to start from zero. In the lategame EOK and ROS are the two expansions with...

Yelinak limping through OOW-TBS is waaaay far off, and by then other TLPs will be out for the serial-hoppers to hop to. At least Vaniki is getting most of that section of the game all at once, which will make it waaaay more bearable (and quicker). Also another thing I haven't seen anyone bring...

I didn't spend much time trying to figure it out, but I found XC2's battle system overly confusing. Maybe I'm just special needs, IDK. XC1 played like an MMO, XCX doesn't seem very complicated at all. Then XC2 is all weird and throws tons of new things at you in the first few hours. I...

::shakes violently:: EVERQUESSST

Personally what I think is dumb is that AAs are all still the same level as before, so with every new expansion you get a bunch of new AA that you can't actually buy because your level is too low. And everything that you can buy is autogranted post-55, so you don't really gain anything from...

Back during all the bathroom brouhahas, I remember asking people if we really needed to be overhauling the nation's bathrooms and adding a third one (as many were suggesting) or changing them all to non-gendered, to accomodate 0.03% of the population. Someone yelled at me that people still...

WWE vs AEW should be heating up now with HHH running things. This'll get good.

Like 23:7 or so caster:melee. We generally field one ranger, one rogue, one BST, a couple monks, a couple zerks. Then a zillion wizards/mages/necros. This will probably change at 60 though, OOW moves the game into meleequest...under normal circumstances.

"Borrowed power" is that like, artifact weapons and such that give you temporary power increases while the current phase of the game is going on? Cause I hate that shit. In EQ you can quit for a few years and come back and you still have all your AAs and relevant gear and the game plays the...

Yeah, I'll get the DF pre-purchase and get SL out of that, then blast through it before DF. Would feel less like a waste of money if I got both of them for the price of one. That's another thing I wanted to mention in my "how do people get that much content out of WoW" post. When it...

Weapon Affinity AA and DoTs are my friend in situations like this, behold what a 10 level minus does to melee DPS...

Does the fake Rajaah on Yelinak even play? Every time I pop on there they aren't on. Yoinked the name in the first hour of server-up and then vanished. If it were a regular player who just happened to pick the name that'd be fine but it looks like someone jacked it just to keep me out of it...

I'm guessing dashboard/UI HDR is a source of burn-in? My 2016 LG OLED C6 has some serious burn-in problems at this point and I think it's from UIs, given the pattern of the faded lines onscreen. Hopefully there's a way to fix it. I'm trying not to leave anything stagnant onscreen with my new...

Yeah, as someone who mostly plays portable mode, the Switch OLED screen is a huge improvement. I'd actually prefer this to a Switch Pro. However the time is drawing near where a Switch Pro is starting to feel kind of necessary. Switch games look so antiquated on my TV compared to PS5 games...

Yeah, revenants and the big iron maiden robots are the two enemies I pretty much never actually fought, just noped out and walked past them.

I learned something new today: The proc on this is a lifetap, not a straight poison DD like the description implies. It might be a poison-based lifetap, I don't know, but it's a lifetap. Lifetap procs are rare at this stage so that's pretty cool. Anyone know exactly what mob type...

I wish I could get into the Xenoblade games the way I got into the older Xeno games. They're so different though. I want sci-fi space operas, and XB1/2 seemed more like generic JRPGs.

When are you going to do some Bind Rushing, motherfucker?

What's the deal with always-on HDR? Why's it a bad thing? I don't know much about this stuff except that HDR is contrast and makes game look gud. First TV I got with HDR was when I was midway through FFXV and I remember how blown away I was by how much better it looked. Similarly, what's the...

I've had a lot of trouble getting into anything in the Post Elden Ring Era, but I managed to knock a couple more things off. Uncharted 4 is what I'm working on now, as well as Memories of Celceta (Ys 4 remake). They're both short (10-15) but it's taking me a while to get through them. Next up...

I agree, moving on.

I completely agree that there's no issue whatsoever with GTA having a female protagonist. They aren't replacing some long-standing hero John Connor style, they're introducing another new main in a series that has a new main in every game. If people are gonna be fussing about GTA6 having a...

I don't think I've ever avoided a game over wokeness. I wasn't too keen on Horizon 2 at first because I thought they made Aloy look like a man, but it turned out to be a lot of nothing. Last of Us 2 is something I have very little interest in, but not because of the wokeness, more because they...

GG lads, well done. Say hi to Poubelle, fellow OGCer. I hope we get around to doing some Ele bosses this week just for the challenge's sake, but we'll see. I'm guessing they're pretty bad-ass at 55. I'm not playing as much this week, mostly just waiting for 60 at this point... gotta remember...

What gets me are people who complain about having to see drama and guild feuding, saying stuff like "don't you have anything better to do" Usually the same kind of people who respond to other people's accomplishments with some variation of "who cares, it's an X year old game lol" When people...

It's pretty awesome how many YT channels have had meteoric rises since the Rittenhouse trial just by offering honest and upfront interpretations of what happened and how it was handled. People dropped the MSM news media and moved towards those channels in record droves in the timeframe since...

This particular pose really does it for me. Not necessarily here but in general. So goddamn feminine.

This reads like a creepypasta where you're the villain. I've never jacked anyone's AIM logs or known how to, but I did get access to the officer board of a guild I was in once. Officers + clique members had access, but not us peasants. They had an entire thread dedicated to talking shit about...

Oh, I have an EQ Confession that spills into the real world. Again, it involves a girl and me being a jackass. So when I was 19, I met this girl in EQ who was 17. Yeah, don't arrest me officer, etc. She was a very good player, and an awesome person, nice to everyone, talented, and interesting...

FO1/2 are hard to get into because the QOL and everything are just way too archaic for most people. It desperately needs the kind of overhaul that Baldur's Gate got. If the corporate overlords aren't going to do it, then the modding community is the answer. I'm personally waiting for some kind...

Shadowlands doesn't have a physical release? Yikes. I have big-box copies of a bunch of the others on a shelf somewhere. Does Shadowlands ever go on sale? Not keen on paying $50 for a digital-only version of something so poorly-reviewed. I'd still like to play through it once, but I never got...

I know the feeling, EQ ate up nearly all of my game time from mid 2004 through mid 2008. I don't think I beat a single video game in all of 2005. The only games I took any real detours to play over those four years were Metroid Prime 2 and WoW Burning Crusade. This meant I missed out on a ton...

Changing Freeport was the single worst decision EQ devs ever made.

Yeah I hate that too. It never pans out either. Like not once has someone told me that and I've found it to be true. Usually I dislike the game just as much at hour whatever than I did earlier. As far as FO4 goes I'm sure I'll get a dopamine hit from finishing it, if I ever do that. Every time...

This is the only platinum trophy I have on Playstation that doesn't have a 100% next to it, and that drives me NUTS for some reason. I did enjoy some of it. I really liked the first ten hours or so, and Far Harbor. So it isn't like I suffered for 110 hours, I had fun at points. Unfortunately...

Once a political discussion starts up, they snowball quickly, and pretty soon the text is scrolling like a Twitch stream. Anyone who sees my political posts on here knows I literally can't resist wading into the fray, especially if "my side" is making dumb points and needs some help. Well...

Hook vs Starks was TREMENDOUS

Watch Lethal vs Ricky Starks and you might understand Lethal a bit more. One of the best TV matches of the last few years IMO

When I was 14 in 1997, I met a girl in a game called Terris. She was cool and seemed into me and kept wanting to group up. After a few weeks of me giving her stuff and us grouping up religiously, one day she just abruptly broke things off with an "I'm not into you anymore" spiel and never talked...
