I don't see a boom of any sort happening. The current situation isn't like mmos with LoL being EQ and a new gen is coming up to dethrone the king. LoL is WoW. The only "boom" you'll see is a boom of trash budget mobas trying to cash in on the money hats Riot is printing by copying LoL and adding...

I don't think you can swap gear by macros in this? Think you can only use the gear set swaps, which is like a respec so it puts all your shit on 30secs cooldown, which obviously isn't gonna help you get more DPS. I haven't looked into it in details though.

Even warrior wasn't that fast until Fury took off, which was BWL/AQ or so but in MC and early BWL warriors were like MS arms build and you were rage starved all the fucking time anyway. Hunter was Aimed Shot spam so that was slow as fuck, rogues had plenty of energy issues so their 1s GCD was...

Problem I've seen about focusing on gathering/crafting is leves are gated through a combat leve unlock quest thing in each zone, so you need to be able to complete it to unlock the related gather/craft leves. Guess you could get someone to clear them for you but still a bit annoying. I might...

Combat Lina is actually pretty good, her attackpoint is awful early game though and farming with spells isn't very reliable unless you're mid and bottle crow or somehow control the runes. Assuming you do farm and people let you, it's pretty strong, skip leveling the stun to focus on the...

Yeah Marlboro was low pop. I leveled my THM on an euro server since friends wanted to play on that instead and there were a lot more people there, and even that server wasn't one of the highest pop. Finding groups for dungeons shouldn't be an issue once they add the duty finder, but the problem...

There's a good WAR vs PLD thread on the official beta forums, with a lot of lvl 50 testing shit around. Interesting parts is that as expected PLD is very boring to play, even if adequate, as you mostly rely on your main combo that you spam in all and every situation, weaving in flash for aoe...

Thing that looked cool was that once you become a Warrior, you get access to an entire new mechanic that's basically combo points, so it plays quite a lot differently I assume, at least your rotations change a bit(since rotation generates combo points and when you have 5 you pop specific WAR...

Oh that's interesting, I forgot to test that shit, will try next beta if I can get a 2nd key, I wanna see how dual logging works with this. As for Arcanist yeah don't think they said it'd be up for P4, even though they're not wiping, so that's a bit weird. Guess it'd be a good time to level...

I guess you'll have to make good use of macros with a gamepad, and probably just drop a lot of shit. Like if you look at basic WHM stuff, it's not that many slots, 3 cures, 1stoneskin, 2aoe heals, esuna, regen, that's basically all your spells. Maybe Aero and Stone 2 if you need to do some dmg...

There was a bounty system in UO but it was just yet another system that ended up being abused, people would just kill themselves once the bounty was high enough, collect the bounty then use the money to macro the stats back they lost(after they added stats losses to murderers) and keep the rest...

Hmm right if everyone heals themselves it'd work out too, but the 2 dungeons I've done as a THM, it seems only one guy in each had CNJ at all, so they'd stay at low health(not even drinking potions which are worth jackshit and you get 40s of during quests) so yeah. But I've heard of groups...

I think gamepad will show its limits once raids start and you have to heal 24people without a decent way to target people. With that said it might be facilitated by UI stuff(priority on people not at full health and being able to set various focused targets for tank healing or whatever) or just...

Legacy has the same content besides the jobs, so all they can do is brayfox with level syncing down. Or maybe some FATE in higher level zones I don't know if they're active, you could in theory do these too on normal servers though. And yeah I don't know if they're running out of time or...

Imagine you play with 4 NPCs, that are played by humans, and you have to escort them, by which it means they're on your team and you need to kill 5 other players and destroy their base, and you do all this for 40+ minutes or maybe 20. Can't really find more accurate description of the genre.

The ferry is just bugged, they forgot to set the value of the ticket down when they changed gil numbers in 2.0, so it costs 55k to buy a ticket, when it should probably cost like 550. Even 5500 I could see. On the CNJ stuff, it was from last week. They buffed it quite a lot, it does...

Yeah absolutely no point, there's a competitive forum for specific tournaments if people want to do that, and there's 2 major threads for each game. I guess if there were specific forums there could be threads about specific heroes and what not but I feel this shit would be pretty empty overall...

At the price it's sold I'm fine with even just getting one month(or a couple of weeks) of fun out of it. But I guess it depends on people, some won't find that fun, I liked leveling and following the story and class quests so far so I'm ok.

Yeah was about to post that, thought it was bullshit but can confirm it works, I talked to the THM guy and got lvled to 15. You need to advance the main quest far enough though, I know I'm done with it and I believe that is the requirement, might unlock earlier I don't know. You're done when...

Yep reached same point, I played the 3 classes I had interest in to 12(MRD), 16(THM) and 23(CNJ) so other than Arcanist not much else to do, I haven't seen all of Limsa Lominsa storyline but since it's likely my main char will be from there, most likely Arcanist into Scholar or Marauder, no real...

Only thing that annoys me about Ayesee is his computer/internet is complete shit and it will ALWAYS stutter at some point during the game(regardless of action or not) and I know this one isn't a twitch shit because it still stutters when I watch the vod in the same place. Looks like when I was...

Well that's the thing, while lol had a few interesting heroes in concept(Orianna for example I liked) and some fun to play because of mechanics(Ezreal or Akali), in general dota can make heroes that are way way different from others. You have heroes that control multiple units like Chen(can...

There's a tutorial planned with a limited hero pool yeah, just not in yet.

They're not in any version, for the release they'll have VA for the main story quest only, they might add class quests eventually but they'll probably never voice sidequests.

I don't think instances don't belong to mmos, they just need to either be used better, or to be used only for specific things. These things for example would be heavily scripted lore or progression based content, such as doing class specific quests to get your class only weapon at the end of a...

To sum up, everything in dota has more complexity and as such in general more depth(some of it is just pointless complexity though like magic immunity interactions). Basically, LoL is God of War and Dota is Dark Souls, if that comparison works better for you. I guess something with CoD and Quake...

I believe available at launch raid content will be Ifrit/Garuda for the primal fights, then Crystal Tower(multiple floor instanced dungeon) then another tier with Bahamut Ruins(same as CT). Also raids are 24man(3 full groups), or at least that was the plan last time they talked about it.

BLM has 2 aoe nukes, why wouldn't you use them? There's a targetted aoe bind for the frost aoe, and the fire aoe I assume is the strongest in the game, so not sure why you'd end up using only THM spells, for single target maybe. You also get the resist buff thing to put on the tank and the...

Ah I had seen the list but had always only been looking at the casters, didn't notice other jobs had more than 2classes to pull from. I guess both BLM and WHM will be able to use Arcanist skills too, on top of CNJ/THM. Also didn't notice that WHM gets THM skills and not GLD skills. Guess we'll...

That doesn't contradict what he said, 2 classes is obviously less than all classes. You can't get CNJ heal for example, or whatever useful thing the Arcanist will get. That's the tradeoff for those 5 more skills you get from being a BLM.

So do just that? The game doesn't need to tell you when you can go afk. If anything it's harder to do in an open ended respawning area like in EQ than in a mc dungeon like in wow where you just tell people "k afk 5mins". But regardless, how is having forced downtime better than just choosing to...

Downtime doesn't have shit to do with slow progression, other than it's the shittiest way to achieve it. Here's a fucking genius idea for you, you can only gain xp for 15mins a day. Isn't that perfect? Means it can take 2years to get to max level, and you can do other stuff instead of having to...

But camping stuff is fun because you can watch tv and don't actually have to play the game! And yes that is sarcastic but that same argument was used fucking last page. If I want to watch TV then I just watch TV, if I want to play a video game I play a video game. I don't need to play a video...

Oh wtf who's Katya Kazanova, you're in my friendlist, ran Hatali together before I went to bed before the end of the beta. I also noticed Ray Gilette and Sterling Archer names while I was lvling because of Archer, didn't know that was people from here.

Didn't they do that in whatever game where some files were named Half Life 3 just for fun, in TF2 maybe or something? And them working on the game doesn't really mean shit, see Titan.

It's on first page, at least it's about the same shit, they might have edited it a bit.

You can watch pro playing pubs via dota tv when they're not streaming, or play against/with them. Demon acts like a dick on stream too and Merlini/Dendi/whoever sometimes get angry on stream too even though not that often. What I'm saying is simply that it's not black and white shit, it's not...

Not necessarily, depends on players. Some pros don't rage ingame or rarely do, even though most of their teammates are complete shit. Others rage super hard. What is funny though is when pub trash players tell pros they suck. Not that pros are always perfect or what but I find it pretty funny...

Maybe they're consulting him to know what not to do? Anyway wonder just how much they've shown at E3, people saying it was the best mmo there but was it based on what was shown or what they said would be in the game eventually? I just wonder how much they've done and is actually going to make...

The beta for the Lodestone website is up. Basically armory with news and some stupid blog shit. http://na.beta.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/
