In my experience, the only people who usually advocate for griefing mechanics in a PVP game are the people who can only win PVP engagements by doing that lol

When I watched the FFXIV fanfest, I was reminded of how Blizzard used to be in the early days of WoW and the OG Blizzcons. Genuine passion, doing goofy fun stuff, not afraid to show personality. Activision really sucked the soul out of Blizzard.

Right, it's like asking someone who spent 1k on a ship in Star Citizen what they think of the game. Sure, you have to like the game to spend that much, but when you spend that much you also feel like you have to justify why you spent that much.

Price point is still "too much" even at that for many people. The past 20 years have seen such a shift to a free-to-play model that all the zoomer and millenials even scoff if the game has a box price.

Gil has purpose, otherwise RMT/botters wouldn't exist. I do agree that when you get "fuck you" rich, gil doesn't mean a whole lot beyond having mansion money or buying stuff on a whim. However, considering all this, the economy is surprisingly not that fucked. Most items on MB are fairly...

The 3D rendering in Snow was pretty insane. I really had to pay attention in some parts to pick up the "uncanny valley" bits. Also, regarding Ipswich, first thing that comes to mind is Lovecraft.

So any other details? Seamless zones aren’t new in the mmo space

YoshiP is also an old school MMO player. UO, EQ1, DAOC. He name drops those quite a bit. Plus he played WoW early and I presume he keeps up with their developments even if he doesn’t actually play WoW anymore.

The grind involved also matters. Shit that takes weeks or months to get ingame, but you can buy the same thing for RL cash and offers a significant advantage is bullshit. Bethesda does this with FO76 to a degree. Limits your storage space, but if you subscribe to FO1st, you can get unlimited...

Yes, they will. But if a game day 1 offers a “2x xp potion!” For money, then that is p2w. It isn’t a catch up mechanic, it’s a straight up “use this if you want to be first to higher level content uncontested” itemization

Shortround was cool, plus he was Data in Goonies. I remember during recess we would play Goonies and everyone would want to be Data because he got all the cool gadgets. No one wanted to be Chunk lol

Only reason I bought the lunar whale is because it plays a remix of the lunar whale theme from FF4 lol

There really isn’t anything an 8 person mount gives you advantage wise. Maybe makes it easier hauling noobs around Eureka, which is old content 2 expansions ago. Everything on their store for sale boost wise is just catchup. Bliz has done the same. Basically it boosts you to the highest...

Activision doesn't give a fuck if you hate the game. If you still spend money on the product, that is all they care about.

Personally I'm fine with that. They always just felt like extended training tutorials anyways

The fact the scene in the bug hallway used real bugs is the real NOPE of that movie lol

I couldn't stay up to watch it, so I watched the saved Primals concert. Was great, but I was surprised to learn at the end that Soken had cancer and was currently in remission. Yoshi P got really emotional :( They had kept it secret from most of the team. He actually wrote the final boss...

There are a few knuckle duster looking weapons. These crafted ones are purple lightning knuckle dusters basically. There are others as well, but I can't recall the specific item. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/recipe/f5e8fd359e6/

Honestly I think that because this ends the Zodiark and Hyd storyline, something happens to the WoL since we are technically an Ascian. Maybe we "die" and there is a time skip and we get restored later. Scions have gone their separate ways in the meantime.

What the heck was that final comment about a "final goodbye" to the characters? Are they doing a full fucking reset for 6.1???

When he showed the housing item guitar, it showed other housing items. The spiral staircase caught my eye, looks nice

Those Citizen watches and Guitar are beautiful. Too bad I use neither lol

Speak for yourself, my first thought was this

I'm not as bothered by quirky cosmetics. WoW always confused the fuck out of me with how inconsistent they were. Like they never let you use holiday shit for transmog. The Valentines Day cosmetic which is a plague mask + a plague backpack was fucking awesome. Perfect for a forsaken or...

EQ1 used slow leveling to hide incomplete content as well. Think about how many times people killed something that had cloth cap loot pools or even incompl He played AA, he should 100% know what p2w looks like. Their entire crafting and gearing system basically revolves around store bought...

Reaper has a feature where they become an avatar for a void creature, so I assume that will be their resource meter ability. Otherwise just melee attacks. They didn’t dive too deep and they also didn’t preview other new class abilities, so I assume that is all still being worked on

I presume it started off with Sheldon interpreting everything and their shared experience. Which makes sense - killing or not working together would have caused them to fail.

Please no

I tried going on their site last night. It queued me like 7k deep, then none of the products would even load. I checked hours later and the actual CE game stuff was gone.

It was on so late last night, I had to go to bed Also, fucking LOL at the La Hee part

I do agree on PVP. It is pretty shitty in FF14, which is part of the reason it is dead. Only time you see people doing it is when there is some event that you can get currency from, like the last moogle tome event.

Ya, XP potions and the like is Korean/Chinese MMO cash grab gatcha game shit. I know MMOs have level boosts, but they tend to be later in the game's life cycle and serve mostly as catch-up mechanics. Offering the same stuff on day 1 would basically make people suspect XP gains are...

Be interesting to see what images they release in the coming days

Observations I made: 1) Zenos' tower has the Tower of Zot music from FF4 2) There was one scene where they showed a dungeon that had 4 seasons/biomes...the floating crystal things looked like the ones from the Ascian city ruins dungeon (Amythis Ryder or whatever...the one where Bismark gives...

FFXIV combat does change a lot as you level. How a class plays at 30 vs 70 can be completely different, both in terms of abilities, gcd weaving, and resource management

Walter in the show is pretty sympathetic until the final scene, at which point that if you realize if he is ok with doing that, then he would be ok with doing all sorts of reprehensible shit

Good finale. The final final scene wasn't expected at all. But they left the show in a good spot to allow for the spin-offs they mentioned. Presumably they will leap forward in time and focus on other Belmonts.

I did to, until a failed insurrection against lawfully elected president just resulted in the impacted party doubling down and looking for more ways to subvert democracy and yet they are still allowed to keep their positions

The show does address it. George fallout was supposedly over the code, the brother thinks the code is shit, all the kids think it is shit and ones who don’t die. Utopian is so afraid of power corrupting Supes that he basically would rather do nothing of consequence if it means taking a stance...

Not all BF3 private servers handled hackers well. I remember joining one and the admin threatened to ban people complaining about non existent hackers, as a dude on the enemy team killed us in spawn with a machine gun from across the map and through 30 buildings. He was either in on it, or a...
