    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's a new post, apparently the Duty Finder will be in from the start of this test. They still haven't communicated an end date for this test however, so it's possible it'll last longer than usual still. They also released a video showing the duty finder. It's basically what you'd expect...

    Leash reduces the impact of exploration/movement spells like invis and such. I don't really think it adds much other than a way for the casual player to be able to escape fights if they go wrong so they don't get punished by death, but tbh it should either be ability based(give everyone a FD...

    They might improve the ranged area too, but yeah mostly the point is to make it so the melee area, that already exists, isn't as shitty anymore. They could instead decide to remove it entirely and make ranger ranged only, but that's a step backwards however you look at it. It's not like making...

    DOTA 2

    There was some shit that was fixed like 2weeks ago where you could see other player's camera position, which gave you an estimate of their position since most people tend to have their cameras on their own heroes. There is/was also an issue with delay on spec mode where you could have no delay...

    Actually what was linked is all it says, and it specifically mentions that the closing date of the next test will be communicated later on, so we don't know yet if it's a weekend. Since Duty Finder isn't ready from the looks of it, it's quite possible they'll extend the test until it is.

    After playing GW2 I'm not sure it's such a great idea. I liked the Vanguard way though, movement penalty while casting. You can still move but it's not like full speed so you still have the tradeoff move the fuck away/ do damage which I feel is kinda important. It also reduces the impact of...

    Well I think you counter the miss/parry/dodge stuff with class specific mechanics, like you have passives that make your next hit never miss if you miss one, higher hit rate than other classes and stuff like that. The only classes that do this generally are like casters, where they give them...

    What I'd kinda like to see in terms of class design is more major mechanics differences between classes. Some classes use slow paced GCD(2-3seconds) or slow casts, but very impactful abilities, some classes use fast paced combo system(not wow combo but like skill A > skill B or C > skill D...

    The theory on reddit is that it's half in time, which means there's a 6 days phase coming instead of more weekends. We'll know today or tomorrow when they make the announcement on next phase I guess.

    Path of Exile

    I played Titan Quest like a month ago, it was pretty good. I did play with a mod that rebalances the whole game and adds a lot of stuff though, Soulvizier, so I couldn't tell if the original game was bad but with the mod it was nice and difficult. Overall I liked class customization and char...

    They're resetting all mutes next patch which should be today/tomorrow and adding a different algorythm and some other shit. Since it's still automated it's probably still going to suck to some extent I guess, but for example if you don't get muted for 2weeks it reset your mute counter so you...

    Well from what we've seen, it doesn't take all that long to get to 35 and that's a good way toward 50. Xp might slow down super heavily in the last 10 levels like say Aion, but we don't know that for sure yet. It's a lot closer to vanilla wow than old school mmos like FFXI and EQ in terms of...

    PSN Summer Blast Sale: July 2nd-9th / 9th-16th

    Well I played shadow of the collossus again like a month ago or so since I picked up the HD edition but hadn't played it, and it's definitely great. Mostly I think the atmosphere, the music, the world, the sounds etc made it a great experience. The combat is definitely cool and the scale of the...

    Class distribution changes with the weekends though, I think P4 with the continuous play and the lack of wipe will show better figures than the current ones where people might play a different class each weekend to test them out and shit like that. Also the lack of scholar atm might make the...

    The interesting ways to go around that I've seen was to use Lord or similar qualifications as your first name, so it appears as Lord Sean.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well they had a lot of plans I'm sure with the original but in the end they didn't do shit, I don't even think they added a single class to 1.0 even though it ran for a pretty long time. That said as I mentionned it's not just the guild, you could find musketeer weapons for a bit due to a bug...

    It'll be a class, and it's confirmed that it's being worked on but they could change their priorities or whatever. You can see the guild in Limsa Lominsa though(there's a gun emblem on it and all like other guilds), plus various NPCs have guns animations already done. Jobs that could branch out...

    The thing is who knows how long it'll take them to add Ranger, they have so many classes and jobs to add and so much content, plus if the game doesn't do too well which is quite possible(I think it might sell a decent amount of boxes again but I don't know about people staying subbed for a long...

    I don't remember UO doing any of this. It had plenty of completely worthless skills that people only used to get perfect stats(anatomy, the thing to check the target's inteligence to lvl int, spirit speak and so on) and the only exploration skill really was Sneak, which was definitely very cool...

    Well while I like combat to have limited skills, I really liked all the fluff spells say in Vanguard or I guess original EQ, stuff like Levitate, Tracking, Invis, Sneak and all that sort of shit that's not directly combat related. So while I'm all for limiting combat skill slots in hotbar...

    If you look at FFXIV though, that doesn't mean 4. They managed to make a control scheme that lets you use like 32 abilities and potentially more if you swap bars, so in theory you could play EQ2 with a PS controller(it would be a fucking horrible experience however).

    DOTA 2

    I guess because Unstable Concoction was buffed to not be as shitty anymore and the hero is overall fairly strong with all the recent buffs, plus he doesn't really have to build health, only armor and then stack as much damage as possible. By reducing the ulti health, you might want to pick up a...

    FPS doesn't necessarily mean twitch fast paced gameplay. It could be "realistic" FPS where you don't swing your 60kg 2H axe every second but instead have long windups and need to make sure you connect with specific parts of the monsters to inflict more damage(localized dmg, variable depending on...

    It is assumed that Archer should still do reasonable damage, even though you lose the additional spells from having a job. You'll be able to cross class every damage boost though, like the 20% dmg from Lancer, the 300TP from lancer also, the 20%crit from pugilist and Mercry Stroke which is an...

    Technically, as far as current content is concerned, you only need to do the main story quest to do the first 3 instances and the mini ifrit event thing. All the further dungeons aren't part of the main quest and you can do them directly or by picking up a single step quest(NPC tells you to go...

    Funny part is since not everyone wants the same amount of old and new anyway, there's gonna be people excited and people disapointed regardless of what they chose.

    Right, unless we're very lucky and they change their mind and add them for phase4(open beta) but most likely not before launch. I was just referring to books because they use multiple types of components, threads made by weavers, leather by leatherworker or ingots by armor/weapon and raw wood...

    Yeah noticed these before, they're pretty nice. On crafting, there's a lot of reliance on other tradeskills to do shit, like tools you make are pretty much always for another crafting class so if you want HQ tools(and you do if you want to make HQ shit) you'll need to buy them from other...

    It's wrong in both, as well as in the code when you use a quote. Not sure how the link ends up being right for you, maybe different brower that corrects backslashes as slashes, but on Firefox clicking the kickstarter link brings you to a 404. Removing the backslash fixes it.
