    I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should resub at the end of this cycle to login each day and do my dailies/eso to keep my gear current, or if I should just wait for another big patch/new game. It feels more and more like a chore with each passing day. The people I run into lately have...

    You're absolutely right. When I was a bit younger, I could put up with more shit like this, because the amount of things that actually mattered in my life outside of gaming were very minimal and trivial to say the least. Not to mention, the amount of quality gaming material was limited at best...

    I hit the, 'been there done that' cap again. Log in to do my dailies now and can't bring myself to spend any extra time after that. Unless there's a fuck-ton of new non-raid content soon, and I'm pretty sure there won't be, I'll probably give it a couple month break for new content to come out...

    Yeah, I'll have to try that again and be quicker about it this time.

    I've been wanting to make a character on Balmung to check the server out, but that has become an impossible task since they removed the auto-logoff feature and every fuckhead just idles in the game world while they sleep, work, etc. It's 5AM EST during the week and both Gilg and Ballsmung are...

    So you get 4 drops per floor in alex normal now instead of 2. This should make things a lot smoother for people.

    True, but most of the time I only find out that I can't get 10k after I pick the only possible lines that could give 10k or the 7k, which there is usually one or two for me. I used to use it every time, but now I rarely use it once in 3 tickets. I also got the 10k 2 times 3 days ago, one 2...

    This is alright, and I use this sometimes when I can't find a winner. You don't really need it though most of the time if you try and get the 10k, just always open the middle result, and try and open lines with 1, 2, or 3 in them. 7, 8, 9 are also high winners I think if you can't find any...

    Do that shit every day. For the first week or two I didn't get shit, then a couple of days in a row I got 10,000 MGP twice in the same day, and a few more in the coming days. Also, if you can time your visits so they happen around the time when GATES occur, and if you get a decent one (fuck you...

    Seeing all these bots in north than is making me sad. I'm working my ass off to level these characters and they can power through that crap because they don't even have to be at the PC while they level. Gonna report you fuckers until you're banned.

    Anyone else doing as bad at getting their alex drops for the week as I am? Got one out of four so far.

    I think it's all the competition for Fates/Hunts, and the endless North Than fate grinding some people are doing that make some of them a little bitter. I've experienced a bit of this myself. The endless north than fate grind can be pretty soul crushing if you don't take constant breaks.

    I'm starting to get the feeling I gave up quality for quantity by coming to Gilgamesh. Like going from that mom and pop store that sells really cool stuff in limited amounts to the super Walmart down the street where everything is sold, but most of it is cheap Chinese shit. Maybe my opinion will...

    I'm not even talking about casuals. It's the ones who can't dodge AOEs to save their lives, and I mean the simple ones. The people who keep making the same mistakes after you explain the fight to them 3 times, mark everything up, and make every mechanic as simple as it can be. The summoners who...

    It seems like the quality of players in duty finder HW dungeons (50-60) is falling quite a bit. Haven't had this much trouble before with Library runs. It's like every new group is lacking. Also, thanks for the shout outs for the FCs, will look into them.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think this is the first time since joining the game that I've struggled to find an FC, and this server has tons of them. Can anyone with some Gilgamesh experience give me the names of some decent FCs with a bunch of active members, casual raid and group stuff, etc? I'm not looking for anything...

    Bull. Shit. You want to make it challenging? Try doing that shit in a PUG, holy fuck. It's getting better, but still. (BTW I'm speaking as the healer) I just moved to Gilgamesh. Holy shit at all the people. North Than fates are crazy. I see so many parties in PF. Things on the MB are...

    WHM heals are strong as fuck. Also, from my experiences with Bismarck EX, DRK seem to fucking explode. The snakes bust their asses like they are DPS compared to Paladins. The healers are constantly needing to spam half their HP in heals or more just to keep them up, while the rest of the...

    Why are you unpleased with NIN? Curious as a fellow 60 NIN. I'm a bit interested in MNK myself simply because my latency is messing up my mudra spam even with the GPN. It feels like NIN was made for Japanese players who benefit from having the best latency. Also, as someone who just leveled...

    Is there a guild on gilg, and is it active? I need some cynical bastards to hang out with. I'm not there yet, but I'm planning on moving over soon. I'm on a low pop server right now.

    I made a short story about the expansion. Connecting to data center. The lobby server connection has encountered an error. Here I press enter. FINAL FANTASY XIV has stopped working. As expected, hit close. Click icon, enter pass, enter one time pass, click play. Been repeating this...

    Servers up. Oh man, new game screens are cool. Hot damn, there's a queue already.

    Not ready. I fucked up and didn't sleep or buy groceries when I needed to. Now I'm sitting here on about 2 hours of sleep with huge headache, and I'm drugged up with NyQuil. Typical pre-launch MMORPG shit.

    It was a problem on my end. Leave it up to me to screw my game up right before an expansion hits.

    Just came back from half a year of not playing, which was right before the Dreams of Ice update IIRC. I'm really glad I decided to re-join the game as I completely forgot how much I enjoy playing it. The new story content is very entertaining. I just leveled a Ninja, and it was a lot of fun. I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You need to finish the story quests from Dreams of Ice and Before the Fall to enter the new areas and explore the new content. The guilds for the new classes are inside Ishgard, so you can't roll one up if you can't get in. Also, having a decent item level will give you a bit of an advantage...

    Can't wait to level AST, but I've heard they have some troubles soloing the harder enemies in the new areas. I hope it isn't too rough.

    Crowfall

    I wonder what they're going to do about the potential fragmenting of the player base. One thing that matters to me the most in any MMORPG is that it feels like I'm always connected to a world that is full of people, teeming with life. This is why heavily instanced games, ghost town servers...

    Echo of Soul - CB

    I want to play a wizard! "you must play the little girl" BLOODY HELL. I think I have MMORPG paralysis or something. I logged in, looked at the people standing around town, saw the quest giver right in front of me, and logged the fuck out. I don't know why, but my mind won't let me play...

    EQ Never

    At this point I don't even care if it ever comes out or not. I imagine there will be another MMORPG worth playing sometime in the future, but MMORPGs are very low on my give a fuck list right now, as they have been for years. I'm done sitting around dreaming about and discussing the next big...

    H1Z1 (Not actually an MMO) - Server: Antidote (info in first post)

    This game looks so trash. People must be desperate. Also, I know the dev team is different than the EQNext dev team. Or at least I think it is. If the combat in H1Z1 is any indicator of how the combat in EQNext will be, I am out. OUT!

    Yeah, same problem with me. I just don't know if I have the time to devote to gaming right now. I think I only played this for a month or two before, but I completely got my money's worth out of it, and the updates keep tempting me back. I don't think many games are worth a sub, but if any are...

    The incoming updates look really cool, and almost make me want to resub to this game for a bit.
