    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It’s a trade off for the lore of being a big brain spell caster. Have immediate access to 41 spells. But then you gotta dial a spell for 36 of them. That said if I expect to be casting 300 fireballs in a night. 300 inputs vs 1500 to do that seems like just meming fireball is go the play. If...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Sounds like it’s just a making an alternate way to call already specified spells instead of having to mem them each and you can just use 4 gems to cast them by a fantasy version of page, column, row, itemid. Seems like a qol hack with flavor instead of actually doing anything with the spells...

    That’s some impressive lurking. I’m less into the scene than in decades past but at least with combo breaker the side games and mystery tourney are usually amusing.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Hrm. I'm still kinda not sold on the fields. AE dmg is rarely useful, ae stun sounds good. But I don't hate it. Hopefully we (re)get a teleport with pure movement utility instead of tying it to an attack. Probably needs more int scaling than just the defensive bubble, i'd like to see the...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I dont mind the ogre monks personally. But at least for the monks I think it's more of an animation issue than the models for the race options. I can totally see wiry ass elf monks- but it won't work too well without some custom animation. I think all the kicks need fancy animations in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That was me 2? expacs ago. Leveled up through the storyline to whatever the cap was at the time, saw all the wizard chores pop on the map and uninstalled. I peek at the talent trees or whatever every big rejigger they've done since then. But meh. I'd poke at whatever they did to UH dk if...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    None of the mechanics have changed yet, not even sure there is an eta yet. Consult the magic 8 ball next month. Shawn’s damage control posts in the sk thread are pretty decent actually, but that whole thing is pretty Kek. Some pro level foot shooting.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Hybrid woes aside. SK as it was had a pretty clear class fantasy, that a lot of people were into. Edgy boi and undead bro with spooky necro powers and a big 2h that's gonna cower your ass into running away while they beat you down. New version may or may not be cool, we'll have to see. But...

    This has been in the works for awhile. Sadly, I think Daigo is probably gonna get smoked. He hasn't been a real top level contender for quite some time, and Mena has been racking up like, all the wins, for the past few years. And I'm not super super up to date with sf6 patches, but pretty sure...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yeah it's hard to really see where they are going off of flavor text without some tangible examples. Many such cases. I'm down for Elric vibes, but witcher and blu mage sound gay as fuck. At least they kept them 2h. Losing the utility/drama of our goober pet is gonna sting. And more...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I can't see it sticking around at all. They mentioned potency adjustments etc for it, but I can't imagine they'll keep 2 completely different sets of abilites going forward. Eg the dots for DRG and BRD shown in evolved mode. If the reborn mode is really what we're used to- those would both be...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah getting rid of the rote burst windows seems like an overdue change. The downsync complaints were rarely about the 50+ dungeons. It was getting stuffed into satasha at 20 or whatever if you didn't have an ae attack yet.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah, obviously it's stil being hammered out. Just seems like a weird gap. I kind of wish they had compared the reborn bard setup to the evolved one. Like the evolved bard demo, the dot was like 3 ticks. Dot flavor indeed? I assumed they skyrocket the potency to match. But is the og one...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    meta is gonna be the meta- but that's contrary to their statement about everything being able to be cleared by both. I just think it's a weird edge case that could be solved by having that split apply to both modes. Seemed to have worked out with the healer split more or less.

    You think they'll require savage to be in evolved mode?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Hmm perhaps. Seems a bit counter to the pseudo casual entreaties. But on the other hand, if you are in reborn mode there would be no reason to switch because the distinction doesn't apply. I'm conflicted about the ilevel thing. I've never felt the need to have every role/job maxed out so I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yea i get that. But the implication is that if you only have say a gunblade and a war- one of them should switch to reborn mode to better fill that aspect. Probably not needed in anything but ultimate modes- but there's some weird friction in it not applying to both modes.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Interesting. Somewhat unexpected that war isn't in the main grouping. Although it apparently only applies to evolved mode. Which is kind of extra hurting my brain.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm not immediately hating evolved modes for what they've shown off. But OG control players probably will be seeing the end of the road. Especially if they're going to lag behind the new vision. 2min buffs are gone. Interesting.

    underdocks is the bad side of NH- not everyone will be able to start topside when they get around to setting the factions up. 4? zones for chars starting at NH to spread out in is pretty decent. I'm not gonna complain about the DE and DG being in at EA by anymeans. I wonder when they'll get...

    Sounds like it was more to deal with evac shenangins than what we would normally call leashing. Like it has to be far enough away from you to that it wouldn’t load in your client normally. Remains to be seen exactly how it works.

    PVP degens get their own lotto. Doesn't grant access to the pve servers- but eh. They're spending some amount of effort on those servers, so might as well get more feedback and metrics from them too.
