Yes, it's nice in the same way that your husband COULD have hit you 3 times but only hit you once. There is literally a quest where you're tasked to have some guy with a horn play music. You walk across the camp to find out he won't play because he has a sore throat, so you need to go get him...

Is there any reason to level an alt manually vs just using the power pass at max level? Waiting on a buddy to log in and didn't know if I should waste my time with another character.

A second job is just if you want to min max xp gain. 1-50 isn't terrible either way so don't feel like it is obligatory. At 50 you can unlock other jobs that are further along to soak xpac xp. In fact, you'll have the opposite problem of the one you are complaining about when you unlock...

Have to say, this is some of the worst questing I've ever done, and I played New World. Lots of times where you are literally just riding your horse back and forth between two people in camp. The story is also hilariously bad in some places. I can see why they give you 2 level 50 boosts for free...

There are lots of adds because you pull from the entrance to the boss in one big pull. They call it 'wall to wall' and you basically just run until you can't run any more then park and the group AEs down the pack. If you are so low level that you are with players who don't have their AEs yet...

If you're tanking, you want to be using them when you can so you can pull bigger in dungeons. Low level is actually harder than higher level just because nobody has any buttons to press. The design of the pre-SB dungeons also has way more trash per wall, which can get hairy. In general, most...

Nothing else to talk about with everyone just watching the very pretty queue screen. P2W discussion is dumb anyway. The only two categories that matter are 'cash shop' or 'no cash shop'. Everything else is masturbatory hair splitting.

Arms length + sentinel + FoF for first pull -> Reprisal + rampart + requiescat for second pull. -> Boss.

The best way to get commendations is to be the last one to leave because people just dump them on who is left vs who is good. Also, be the tank.

You know what is dumb is that you can buy an ARR story skip, but you can't buy a level 50 level boost. So the 'best advice' for getting someone bootstrapped to Heavensward is to boost some other class you want to play later, then unlock Samurai or Red Mage to take advantage of all the XP from...

This will turn it around for Wildstar! The problem is this lacks any kind of soul. It's like that shitty Warcraft movie.

🤔

Yeah, that's why Sylvanas did everything she did. One look at the Shadowlands and she'd commit war crimes every day to keep her from being there for eternity.

That's how every board guild goes.

Why, so they could completely change the core gameplay again?

Is this going to be first or third person? For some reason that bat animation is giving me flashbacks to hitting a bat overhand with a two handed hammer and it not flinching in Rift. Magic flying bats.

Bellular did a decent job going over it here: Actual content. Basically Discord communities that facilitate boost runs between boosters and buyers and take a split of the gold. They were also caught up in real money trading / gold selling.

It's a lot of jerking off about rumors about the story of a video game. Who even gives a shit about WoW story? It's not like the game systems are all so good it's a "man if only the story was good too!" kind of deal. Systems are so bad, people don't even bother bringing them up anymore. The game...

In a perfect world where programming realities and tech debt do not exist, having Putress/Sylvanas split off into a third faction during Wrathgate would have at least let them do the DAoC style 'two weaker factions can team up against the stronger one' shit. Beyond that, your faction should only...

They had to force the Horde v Alliance shit down your throat to keep it relevant somehow. Legion ended with both sides teaming up and holding hands against a cosmic evil through the power of friendship. Kind of hard to go from fighting Argus and stopping Sargeras to worrying about whatever small...

She typed in /gu "That's it, I can't take it any more, I'm killing myself... auuuughhhhhhh"

Whatever they were doing used to work, it just wasn't scalable. Another lesson in managing team size vs making the devils bargain and requiring endless growth (cue Secrets).

"No negativity in the dojo" can work to your advantage if you're assertive enough to bulldoze any attempts at dissent. Prob good if one person is driving most of that though. I'd imagine by that point, most of the new people at Blizzard were only there because they were 'fans', so it's not like...

She should have sided with Putress after the Wrathgate. The Forsaken mo from release was to kill everyone with poison and then she bitched out because Putress was working with a Dreadlord. How does that even work now that the Jailer and the Dreadlords have been controlling everything including...

The double tap triggers feels clunky as shit. In general, the controller feels like you're handicapping yourself for no real benefits. I can see using it while leveling or gathering or something, but any reasonably challenging content it feels sub-optimal. - Target swapping is a pita / slow. -...

You know things are dire when people are pining for the days of Metzen lore. WoW lore was always this secondary background shit anyway. The first in game cinematic wasn't until what, the wrathgate? Then they leaned harder into the narrative storyline post WotLK, after the game already started...

Knowing them, it was just a bug introduced with the patch.

The interesting thing about the command missions (and FF14 systems in general) is that you level them up and utilize them across multiple jobs on the same character. Doing daily training / missions levels them up as well, but having a 'free group' of NPCs to level alts is pretty nice. It takes a...

Shit. I enjoyed Shadowbringers and Endwalker (mainly the Ascian / Emet-Selch shit). I'd rank it up there with FF6 or Chrono Trigger in terms of affect. Are you saying that I'm some kind of closeted weeb now? Is that kind of shit common in anime? I haven't watched any anime since Vampire Hunter D...

I feel for the weebs in FF14. All these wow people coming in, soaking up stream viewers and going like "who that fuck is that!?" during the story. Meanwhile they just were hiding in their little game enjoying being big shots in their fandom. They're like the comic guy who is dealing with...

Temporary systems were their answer to feature bloat. They were very open about the fact that you can't just keep adding new abilities to a class expansion after expansion or you end up like EQ2, needing a pipe organ to play. Around WoD they started playing around with modifiers to existing...

The biggest shake up they could do for TLP would be to find a way to actually break MQ and eyes. You can't compete for open world targets without 'cheating' (counting MySEQ as cheating fuckers). Would it make it more fun? Probably not since most people use them for player enforced QoL, but it...

As someone who played a good amount of EQ, is there anything of value to be had with EQ2 having never played beyond the starting area at release?

I'm sure they give him equal credit for all the good things that happened at Blizzard since 1991.

They do a good job with the skill floor/ceiling on the classes.

Or just don't tune shit that tightly? The obsession with balance leads to a lot of this thinking. It got to the point where they were so worried about having to balance things, they just stopped adding new abilities to the game that they couldn't throw out each expansion. It used to be raids had...

I always toggle off tank stance as well, is it necessary once swaps happen if you shirk in between? I've randomly gone from OT to MT enough times that I just practice an abundance of caution. Playing PLD but usually outdps the other tanks because I am a melee dps at heart.

Now they're freed up to go 'work' on other games you love.
