    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Absolutely amazing and most of the early issues have been worked out. Did a complete play through with a friend and then we started a seamless+rando run together as well. Our first run the most annoying part was Melina would speak to me first time I joined the game and rested at a bonfire as if...

    Without Ayaka or Ganyu comps (or freeze in general) not going to see a lot of value in Diona. She is very convenient though as a noblesse using healer and shielder. Super comfy. You could consider a taser comp too with Beidou/Sucrose/Fischl/Mona. And as Elidib said you can't go wrong with...

    No, I don't believe so. I am fairly confident that checkpoint is for technical reasons to set the fight flags back properly / reset. Besides the LB bar change there are HP values adjusted as well to prevent you from going to deep into a second cycle again.

    Boss becomes targetable again as first explosion resolves. He is always true north. You have time to look at all stars before dps starts again. To clarify, my information was based on the boss always being considered true north. Not as he flies around. So for first constellation set look at...

    There is always a melee uptime spot. You can focus on only the columns (east/west star sets) or rows (south star set) that apply. For the first/third sets, you only need to look at the middle and closest column to the boss. For the second set, the top and middle rows. This helped me a lot...

    There is a known bug listing that clarifies a big detail of high-fire. It buffs your flares for the entire fire duration. Not just one.

    Beast tribe quests are a good experience boost too with how they scale. I was all 70 going into ShB but two of my classes from 70-80 were done purely on beast tribes while I focused more actively on others.

    I was in a similar position but I strongly recommend doing DR savage. Put about 9 hours in it so far with a static and on the hot/cold boss. It is so much better than BA. It was off my radar until a friend dragged me in.

    I finally gave in and just paid for twitch turbo. I have twitch on in the background more than any other video service so I felt it justified. I actually forgot it was even an option until recently. My troubleshooting / googling / ublock customizing in the end just was not worth my time...

    Genshin Impact

    Leylines do respawn during the daily reset. I generally just farm the 4 on the map every day anyway for the random monster drops and after 5 days the weekly is done. No resin needed. The rest I do agree with. However, hitting 50 isn't that bad if you just do everything and ignore the resin...

    The coffers from after the bosses can drop the upgrade items as well. You can also sell them on the market board. $$$$

    You can get the memories on any class. The quest just needs to be opened on the one you wish to complete. Do both!

    The core masters who you can activate on the map device do not have scarabs. You can sextant them as well if you need more. Incursion isn't bad though because you can run white/yellow and one red as needed.

    FYI The Zana vendor chisels (20 for 12) is worth it right now. Chisels are < 1.66 ratio on the market.

    Anointing Undertaker is more efficient. Especially with glancing blows. Last season it was popular to anoint something like Deflection. I actually played this build two seasons in a row. Both times I did life versions with no herald of ash. The tank of the build is great (was my first ever...

    If you change your language to French you can get through the cutscenes a little faster and get bosses started / etc. :) Nice if you queue with at least one other.

    You need to do an all BLU raid and clear T5, T9, T13, A4S, A8S, and A12S (All of the ARR and HW final raid bosses for each tier). Have to disable echo and sync. It is pretty fun though because it has a totally different feel. I am playing healer and the tank dmg intake is pretty insane. You...

    We finished our last Verse clear a few week's back and converted to a BLU raid group for the Morbol mount. It has been a blast relearning all these old fights. 100% recommend it. The people in our group who didn't want to touch BLU are having a blast now.

    They made the Aether Currents super easy (at least in HW, still leveling my alt). They are all along the path you take for the MSQ and offen right next to quest turn ins.

    Not big fan of the new beast tribe being crafting. Was hoping for another battle one with the restoration. Beginning of the 2.0 streamlining and flying is great. Not sure what to think of the unreal difficulty. Not sure if they are being changed or just scaled up to 80... Patch 5.3...

    Is there a good write up of what side quests give the SP books in hardmode? I want to go for some alternative dresses if possible and I know some of them are tied to side quest completions.

    I started leveling an alt recently on Lamia(Primal) so I can have another set of lockouts. I got to 54 when I finished original ARR. As soon as I started the post patches before HW I went and spent the $11 dollars to skip it. No regrets.

    Aerith gets a beam attack that can do it. Tifa triangle attack without upgrade does 5% each time as well.

    Make sure you check the selling price of the materia (or any item for that matter) on the tool tip. You will run into cases where the prices bottoms out at the price it vendors for and sometimes even dips below that.

    No, but it will be fixed before next expansion. I believe 5.3 for the start. They did add sky boxes for flying mounts in the last major patch to all ARR zones.

    If perfectly played it is more rdps than sch. Both WHM and AST have solo healed the new ultimate. It is also the hardest of the three to play perfect. Generally you are seeing whm+ast or whm+sch in prog groups.

    My static found a trick for it. If you stand right in the little nook between the first circle aoes and just run clockwise into the aoe indicator as the first explosion goes off you dodge it. This also allows you to completely ignore the magitek bits because you run into the explosion before the...

    It is a big deal because Sco won't be raiding anymore. He will likely 21 man like Max was in Limit. Which also means Max will likely be tanking again in raid. The only reason he was able to sit out is because they had someone good enough.

    I don't usually mind some balance issues, but the difficulty DROP from the Elder guardians to the Elder himself is insane. I think they need to separate them from the map mods again. Even on blank maps they are more difficult.

    The big one for me is the quests auto completing. No more scrolling through 25+ quests to check if it is complete. Also, the arena XP is pretty good. Getting 200k+ at 154 per win.
