    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well that's it really. if you're fairly casual, most mmos nowadays still have a couple of months in them at the very least. If you play a lot though you can be done within 2 or 3 weeks. It used to be that the leveling was so slow, the drops so rare, the pks so gay, that even if you played a lot...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Didn't say it was soon, I expect in a few months, probably next year, don't see much of a point to play now other than everything is cheap kind of thing is all.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm more like waiting for the big patch to hit before I check it out again, loot 2.0 and all that shit. I guess it'll be coming with skill changes from the expansion like they do with wow?

    TERA

    Well you still have 2 levels to learn I think? And as far as I remember it takes like 8hours a level, or maybe that was Aion, but I think Tera was also pretty slow. So you should know a bit by then ^^.

    They're saying it will, why would we consider it won't? I do hope it's like october rather than december though.

    I wonder what they're going to do about housing pricing. At the moment there's a huge disconnect between people who don't farm/craft/gather but can still afford repairs and teleports because the cost isn't that high(after the nerf at least), so they have like 30-100k and are pretty happy with...

    Yeah that was linked above I think he meant he didn't get the news until he checked here.

    I don't quite get how it affects botany? It still feeds cooking, alchemy and carpenter, and once you reach endgame botany it feeds weaver with cocoons again. Now I guess the issue is that both alchemy and cooking suck dicks at anything endgame so that whole aspect is wasted, but it has little to...

    TERA

    So anyone been following this game a bit? I figure, free character and the game being F2P now(I think?), I might as well reinstall and get that free char, but I'm not sure what class I should make. I remember warriors were super fun back then, did they buff or nerf them? When I quit they were...

    Still better than Leather which is 100% farming mobs. And there's a system in place that lets you bypass fleece for leveling, so I don't see it much as an issue, and they're ok priced for endgame cloth.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    If it was enough they'd stop getting instant queues and everyone else's queues would go down. And not sure what 70% you're looking at, pretty much every dungeons has the same shit for every class and all of it split by archetype and later on by specific class(like lancer gear, pug gear, archer...

    DOTA 2

    Well what would help is making their local servers not shit for one, but mostly it would be to just IP restrict and shit like that. Which I don't think will ever happen. If you restrict to 3, they'll still pick USE USW and USS(or whatever south is), and russians will still select europe.
  13. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's no reason they'd do that, the class, while able to heal because the instances are faceroll, gets basically no healing tool at all until 30, and doesn't get a whole lot of MND either. But I'll admit, I haven't tried to queue as an Arcanist since like 3days after EA.

    ilvl 45. Might be slightly less as I think I got one from 43, but not 100% sure and 45 is what I always heard. Buy a bunch of jewelry and spirint bind it. Might not be worth the price of the materias though(if you know a GSM you can buy the mats and get him to craft, costs like 5k to make all...

    2nd video has him still in the circle when the cast finishes. Circle is definitely delayed, could be lag spike or just how it's fucked up sometimes, but he's inside when the cast finishes > he gets hit. 1st one is just lag. If I do titan during prime time, I can sometimes lag through an entire...

    DOTA 2

    That lasted for like 2weeks and has been fixed for a while. What the VAC is gonna detect is the thing that shows everyone's mana and items all the time(when they're visible) and whatever else people have been using.

    People were definitely 50 by release. I checked my own posts in this thread cause I remember people commenting on my level, I posted on the 27th saying I was close to 50 but I didn't poopsock it and there were already 50s for at least a day on my server. I don't remember fates being faster or...

    There's a 2h maintenance, they announced it yesterday. It should be done now though, but servers still down, so they're like 10mins late.

    I just picked up fishing and I feel like I have to hit 50 on that. I hated botany, every single part of it(well maybe not like 10-15 when I started HQing stuff and I was gathering herbs for alchemy, but definitely after that) and I still haven't finished lvling it to 50 or mining to 20, even...

    DOTA 2

    The LAN change is pretty huge. I mean doesn't affect me in any way, and we knew it was coming, but to see a company in this day make a game work on LAN is quite rare, especially a F2P game that makes money selling cosmetics shit online. Like the other changes, lots of cool stuff especially...

    That looked pretty cool, guess I'll reinstall the game and check it out, looks more like Terraria 2 than an update.

    Chimera is one of the "raid" FATEs, it's meant for a lot of people, like the Ochu in East Shroud, Cancer in Costa del Sol, Savra in Coerthas etc. It's probably the hardest FATE, not that it means much, it has a fuckton of aoe, some without markers, and almost all of them instantly kill leveling...

    The trade thing makes perfect sense, can you even trade in cross server LFG in wow? And I mean, that's why it makes sense, it's cross server. With Legacy servers. Being able to trade means you can set it up so you eventually end up with your legacy buddy, then they sell you a ton of shit for...

    If you're using a 1.0 account, you had 15 free days, then 1week more for the shenanigans with the server downs, so I believe 1.0 accounts ran out of free time now. I don't remember them saying they extended anything.

    Out of the 3 pubs dungeons I did on my MRD, 2 of them had terrible healers but it worked out(as in, I had to fucking sprint away from shit so he'd have time to start fucking healing me), third had some guy, well, I don't know if it was a guy, I'd say some thing, that would only heal once in a...

    Dark Souls 2

    For me I guess the 2 key things would be cutting the tail of Priscilla, WITHOUT KILLING HER, fucking bitch died on me like twice and once it autosaved so it fucked the whole save, it was my dagger playthrough too iirc. Second one was finding out the room for the 4kings actually had invisible...

    You need to sub 3months for the ahriman mount, are you saying there's no middle ground, you either sub 3months or you quit?

    Only people getting .4 are monks and that's because they get a stacking buff that increases skillspeed% and damage. I don't think anyone else has gotten to .2 but might be wrong. Can get .2ish with Selene buff on though. And yeah maybe it'll be good later on when we can craft ilvl100 gear with...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    No quest, you just click the forge next to the guy in north shroud. And yeah skillspeed is awful, it's VERY SLIGHTLY good when you have a SCH with Selene that buffs you, since it increases the skillspeed you have by a fair amount, but that's still gonna be like .1sec off your GCD if that, and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah but before you hit Turn 4, you have all the primals and the first 3 turns. It's not like before you do any endgame content, you HAVE to farm 70runs of AK. You need it for Turn4-5 assuming you don't farm the first few turns for a few weeks+mytho which will give you 1 or 2 pieces of AF+1...
  32. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah I agree, that was a low estimate, most people had to keep raiding MC well into AQ because LULZRNGTHUNDERFURY. And god you don't have to do nearly 70 runs of AK. Like 20-25runs maybe? Granted it sucks a lot more now because they nerfed the speedruns and all but you still need to do 8runs...
  33. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Like 1 maybe, other than legacy, I don't know but shit takes a while. Content yeah it's lacking, I think mostly because they had to cut Crystal Tower since it wasn't ready. I personally don't care much, I have very little interest in the raiding aspect, think after Titan I was pretty much done...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You pretty much want enough hp that you can live through a bomb, which is like 3200 or something like that. Definitely don't need full DL for that, I had robe(which covers head too) and belt, as well as some jewelry which doesn't add vit or any meaningful stats and I regret buying them instead...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Early 40s you can still do Coerthas, or can move to Mor Dhona, and once 43-44 you definitely want to head to Northern Thalanan. FATE grinding is insanely fast though, I always find weird people complain because ONCE on the way to 50 they have to farm for about ONE HOUR. Even I who's not a big...
  36. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's some quests that unlock at 47 or so, check Waking Sands. But yeah there's one level of FATE grind. Shit takes a whooping 1.5hours at most, not the end of the world really, plus it gives you seals and shit which you can use to buy a lvl 50 GC weapon or what not if you've been skipping FATEs.
  37. Pyros

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah well don't have queues much anymore anyway, so afk detection or not doesn't really matter. Would have been useful early on, kinda, but then again it just means more people spamming their logins and crashing that shit.

    Even 6 as a scholar is stupid, especially with the heal requirement on the tank. He stomps too often to use your good fairy cooldowns, maybe you can get the hot everytime I haven't timed it, but like I don't know when I'm alone healing the stomps, even if I preshield people, if it's 6 I and...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The whole fight can be 5manned, just need enough DPS for the heart and the requirement is really not that high but the fight overall isn't super hard, it's just fairly long and the damage is very high so mistakes tend to result in deaths, and deaths tend to result in longer fight with more...
