25% off sale atm on Steam, picked it up since I've been waiting for it to get on sale for a while, they skipped summer sale iirc. Game's pretty close to release from what I understand, so I figured there wasn't a point in waiting anymore. Played a couple of hours already, really like it.

Yeah if they had the wow tech with phased walls it'd be a lot better so you can just walk in that shit and it phases you so it's all good. Phasing could do a lot of good things for this game but who knows how spaghetti the code is. They're at least making some efforts every expansion, next one...

They definitely made a switch in terms of pacing with HW, and it gets a lot better, everyone says that really. The end of 2.x MSQs are pretty good, like the Nanamo stuff and shit, that was really hype before going into HW, but it's still kinda slow but HW cuts a lot of the bullshit. Even once...

Probably lagged them out with like whispering ice spam and what not.

Was just referring to the part about SSF and prior to Delve, was more like prior to Incursion. On the actual changes for next patch, we'll see how it goes, I don't expect miracles for high tier maps unless they change their philosophy though, they've been pretty set on making sure people can run...

The expansion before that Incursion had a fuckton of maps too in the temple shit.

He gets treewalking now though, so you can broodmother your way into the trees like a dickhead and be impervious to ganks, I think?

I bought a new bomb PC, and one of the first games I played on it was FFXI cause it had a callback campaign event shit. Feels weird playing a 18years old PS2 looking game on a brand new 2k PC. I didn't go for curved/ultra wide for my monitor though, wanted 4K shit since I don't care much about...

The expansion is far away, but they still have a lot of shit to work on most likely. They're releasing it now because they can start testing stuff and because that part was already finished. Also probably an easier pill to swallow if it's available early than if they waited for 5.0 to release a...

There's some missing classes still(although at this point it looks more like post release content stuff) so I think eventually they'll have more supports. Isn't too uncommon for korean mmos to launch with a single support then add another later.

The problem is unless they nerf shit heavily, they won't be able to both keep the quirks of Blue Mage skills affecting bosses(like how in the trailer he STUNS Shiva, which would be super broken in many encounters, imagine interupting long casts and shit, even if the boss starts recasting right...

Supposedly, the tutorial is really long and is fairly well done, that's the area you're probably in. It gets really shit after, but it takes a couple of hours to get through the tutorial(the cynics will say it's because it prevents you from refunding the game once you get past it).

Slark got A LOT of buffs it seems, just from general mechanics change. Seems he can dispel Hex again and pounce is now a TP interupt, which means there's no escaping him if he ganks you at low hp/you're a support. Also got some minor buffs directly but those are pretty big. Some of the changes...

The only things before the expansion are BLU and the server transfer shit, everything else is expansion content. And there's not gonna be 5-6jobs that'd be ridiculous. There's gonna be 2 most likely, gunblade and another.

Hmm the UI does change, but the buttons don't get deactivated iirc. You can hide the Cross button layout for gamepad and display the normal hotbars and get the same UI while in controller mode as far as I remember. I don't have a sub running atm though so I can't really check ingame.

Artifact :: 11/18 Beta Update Can do free drafts now with friends, one free draft in casual mode(or maybe just free drafts in casual mode not sure if limited) and can convert shit cards that have no value(like stuff that's in starter decks) back into tickets.

Was only played 3times in the whole main stage, with only 10bans too and Topson won with it in WB finals, not even grand finals. Interestingly enough, that's more than TB and Morphling too. TI had a way different meta than the current one, at least in terms of carries. There was a patch that...

Don't the D pad target stuff? Pretty sure that's the normal way to target, other than X for nearest target, like left/right to switch targets iirc, maybe up/down it's been a while. Alternatively you could use some program to bind it differently? Not sure what you use for your pad if you're using...

Wasn't Arc like not meta until this tournament? TB/PL/Morph sure but I thought Arc Warden was kinda recent. It's super strong but it's not like it's been constantly around to get bored of already imo. Should get nerfed though probably, just too good atm.

I'm actually looking forward to doing FATEs again, I didn't mind it in 2.0 and the less PotD I have to do the better imo. They get additional xp so it should be fine and faster, it's not even that slow nowadays with the 100% armory bonus(versus 50% back in 2.0). Alternatively you'll be able to...

Obviously builds that can't use stats stick don't use them. The issue with stats sticks isn't that everyone uses them, it's that for any build that can use them, they're virtually the best option and kill versatility and choice. Which is most physical builds, especially melee and physical...

Might be life, armor is mostly irrelevant in this game and most builds will ignore armor even at endgame(in fact especially at endgame due to how it works). Direct damage reduction like endurance charge for physical, conversion to elemental(which is then reduced by your ele resists), increasing...

They're just going to have to rescale everything regardless so I wouldn't waste time trying to figure it out. Too many classes have weird systems with either MP or TP. PLD, DRK, RDM, BRD will all have to be reworked due to how they use both ressources, sometimes in ways that just wouldn't work...

Well that g1 of EG vs NiP was something, what a rollercoaster.

Anything is fine really, but healers and tanks have faster queues for shit so that helps when lvling. The balancing is fairly solid in XIV, some classes are considered worse but the difference is mostly a negligible amount that doesn't matter more than player skill anyway.

Humble Bundle has it for 20euros, not sure what that translates to in dollar but probably less than 30. It is possible it'll go lower too, a lot of the shops haven't started their winter/fall/thanksgiving/blackfriday sales shit. But I doubt it'll go much lower than 20 so you wouldn't lose too...

Eh we'll see, but from the way they worded the announcement it felt like you wouldn't be able to hit the cap until several patches in 5.x anyway. I think it's possible once it's capped they'll let you play with it, but seems like it'll be a long process. I wonder how that'll work out for players...

Yep, Yoshida said there's a teaser for a new job in the trailer so most likely Gunblade class, it also fits the leak from a few months ago, it'd be a new FFXIV class with a Gunblade as its weapon. Mind you, there were already Gunblade related stuff in the recent patch, 4.4 especially. Also fun...

Trailers:

Yeah the leak seems fairly accurate, predicting both 3jobs and a race, which realistically wasn't a conservative guess. The 50 cap isn't so bad for 4.5, but it'll be interesting to see what it's raised to in 5.0. They didn't really confirm it'll be 80 in 5.0, just that the cap will be raised in...

Oh damn, Blue Mage confirmed, CEO of Square Enix walked on the stage in a blue mage outfit lol. Edit: Even a trailer. And apparently you actually learn abilities in combat instead of quests, which is surprising for XIV usually tame systems. That's pretty cool. EDIT: AVAILABLE 4.5 Edit: Capped...

Seems there's a class teaser in the trailer itself, Yoshida's Tshirt is Viera teaser(Bugs bunny, with a race checkered flag > Rabbit race > Viera).

Yeah fuck you buddy, I want Dancer. I'm fine with whatever though, as long as one of the class is a tank or healer and preferably it's not the gunblade class(gunblade tank). I really don't care for the gunblade shit, I'll level the class because I level everything but I'd rather have anything...

Game's on sale now btw if people still need it. On official website and on Humble Bundle. 20bucks for complete edition, bit less for just SB. First fanfest in ~7hours too with first reveal of the next expansion.

It's possible they're preparing new stuff, we'll see I guess. Anyway to sum up all the PC stuff: Dante event is on and stays for the next 2 weeks, decent armor, to get from that. Next thursday, Lunastra comes in, great armor(lots of sockets) and great weapons(they have set bonuses directly on...

Reading that apparently the save system is so fucked, if you reload a save you keep your inventory, but the level is completely reset, so you can get items again, and apparently that's by "design" because the devs couldn't find how to save the state of the level properly. I had this on my...

It's actually standard shit I thought more games had been played than what it was, finals are on sunday as you'd expect.

On the flipside, buying a PS4 once the PS5 has been announced/released will be cheaper than buying it now, even if there's no BC. Although this might take a while so not sure it's worth waiting unless you're in really no hurry(as in you don't care about waiting until 2020).

Edit: Nvm I thought the tournament was further ahead than it is.

Melee tank is going to be a lot easier to do as a new player/on a new league(not sure if you mean right now or when new league starts). Look into Juggernaut builds, especially molten strike shit, simple to build, tanky as fuck, high damage, just not very good map clearing. Not complete garbage...
