I've rarely seen a fight in any game with truly hard mechanics. Once you get to a phase, 99% of the time you just memorize the proper solution. Long-time raiders are not going to see many absolutely "new" mechanics. The greater challenge is optimizing player efficiency (DPS, HPS, damage taken)...
I don't think many of us Cleveland fans are defending the call. I'm not going to complain about a gift. I'll consider it makeup for Game 2 being gift-wrapped to Golden State. I'm not a pro on the rulebook, but Lebron knocked the ball before the slide (Streamable - simple video sharing). Still...
Can confirm. I am leveling a second character with a friend and the story is mediocre. The problem is that the story unravels at a glacial pace. It feels like there's more story in the newbie zone in SWTOR than 1-20 in FFXIV.
I made a second char to level with a buddy who's new to the game; I had to wait til 6am EST to make a character on Gilgamesh even though I have one at level cap. The level 15 quest is just like the level 1, 5, and 10 class quests. You pick it up at your class trainer and once you complete the...
Now that I'm out of the playoffs after half my team got hurt or suspended, it's time to start every Cleveland Browns player I can get my hands on. Goodbye AD, hello Manziel.
I have mixed feelings about the CA arc. It's one of the best arcs (if not #1) for story and character development. However, the pacing is terrible during certain parts.
I just graduated from Ohio State. My friends were in agreement our offensive line is going to get us destroyed after watching the Navy game last week. I imagine at the end of the season we'll see Tom Herman (OC) and Luke Fickell (DC) no longer coaching at OSU. We pretty much relied on our...
I just started an 8-person .5 PPR keeper league with some college buds. I held out too long in the auction and couldn't afford a better QB. Not sure what I'm doing about my bench yet; I was thinking about holding onto Welker as a late season flex play/trade-bait. Should I get rid of him and...
1800 arena gear is the end of the pvp road. I think there's a new bg and arena in the works, but I don't see any real ladders (leaderboards) coming in any time soon. After people hit 1800, they just tank rating so they don't have to sit in 20 minute queues. Warplots suck.
I was banned without using AHK or anything of the sort. I'd love to see what claims they have against me. Last night I farmed mobs for like 5 hours while chatting with people the entire time.
1.) Telegraphs are a mess
In large scale anything, they create a significant visual clutter. This includes telegraphs you won't ever turn off (enemy damage telegraphs). Hit registration on telegraphs were bugged for half a year (fixed now?). A lot of interesting abilities are rendered useless...
The combat/class system is a step back from recent games. Telegraphs are a mess, no invulnerability frame on dodge roll, dodge roll distance is too short, big aoe telegraphs are king (medic), sprint/daze are lame mechanics, and bad breakout game-play. I could go on for days about combat design...
I'm really upset that Mistweaver is turning into a turret-healer class design. Longer GCD, less chi generation, less fistweaving, no uplift/healing spheres on the move, and so much more are going to fundamentally change how the class is played.
I've done Experiment X-89 in Genetic Archives and a lot of gold medal runs in heroics/adventures. The difficulty of X-89 is on-par for an introductory raid. Player responsibility is pretty high because destroying a platform that's not along the edge substantially reduces the time you have to...
Telegraphs are very responsive in comparison to FF as well. This game just seems to have a poor review process. Every major patch introduces a large number of bugs, optimization issues (poorly implemented addOns being fixed by players, not developers), and class imbalance. In terms of bugs...
I play a 50 Esper (Catpokes). The balance in this game is terrible. PvP is a joke at its foundation and every patch there's a new class that redefines overpowered.
If you watch Zybak's stream, you can see moving out of telegraphs is smooth. FFXIV always had the issue of getting hit outside of the telegraph; Wildstar doesn't seem to have this issue. Movement can feel a bit floaty like GW2 due to momentum, which is a bit of a disconnect from a lot of other...
The game has a lot of character to it. I'm hoping their major patch brings a lot of content for players to chew through; I'd love to resubscribe and try out the new raids/dungeons. I'd add that many challenges in this game are made difficult only due to the network infrastructure issues with combat.
Not even coil apparently, turn 5 is down until the bug is resolved.
Binding Coil of Bahamut 5 will be temporarily unavailable : ffxiv
I'm done with this game. 1-50 was a lot of fun during the early rush with everyone doing their story quests, but there's really nothing to do in this game...
It's less about the top 2% of players, and more about the top 20% of players needing things to do. There are plenty of non hardcore people at 50 already.
There's very little to log in to do if you plan on only playing your main class. Getting the subclasses to their required level for abilities is ~1-2 days, many of us are done running AK, and crafting has little purpose if you're clearing Bahamut's Coil and have full Darklight. Since they're...
If monk can maintain 100% greased lightning in a fight, it will win on damage, even over BLM. BLM is always the safer choice to bring because their damage isn't nearly as fight dependent. Pure damage fights like turn 4 are really good for monk, if you maintain your greased lightning during every...
I'm looking to trade x2 Savage Might Materia III for Savage Aim Materia III for my relic weapon if anyone's interested. I'm also looking for cheap (or donated) leather for leatherworking. I can make gear to anyone who donates leather, just specify your preference. Currently looking for the...
I want to know which engineer had the brilliance of combining all of NA and EU into one server cluster. It's terrible for rolling out maintenance, creates connectivity issues, and overloads the cluster.
Can't wait to unlock monk and start cleaving.
Edit: What's the deal with CE items? My preorder code didn't specify any CE items, just early access items.
I'm all for any high population server. A medium-low population server historically becomes a wasteland within a month or two. When server transfers comes out, those desolate servers will either be merged or people will transfer to a high population realm. This sucks because you have to move...
For everyone testing out the game, absolutely make sure you unlock guildleves in open beta. You get 3 leves every 12 hours, so 5 days of downtime for 30 leves during early access. This is critical to get rare spawns in order to finish your hunting logs and grand company hunting logs.
How much of a hit is borderless fullscreen supposed to be on a single card? I have an i5-4670k and a GTX 770 2GB. In full screen I was hitting 11-12k, and in borderless fullscreen windowed mode it was dropping as low as ~6k. This seemed a little unnatural to me, and I don't remember having frame...
