I didn't mean buying it at launch like preordering but more looking at reviews/watching some twitch streams to get an idea and buying it week 1, but the way it's done it's better to just check it out again in a year see how it ended up.

So I went and looked it up since I kinda didn't bother watching most videos so far. They actually released a roadmap a couple months back. Unlike previous Dawn of War, which used an expansion system where you buy like a $30-40 expansion every 1-2years or whatever with a bunch of races in them at...

This is a really old trick that's been happening for like 10-15years already. Every now and then you'll see a story like that pops up about buying on Amazon or Best Buy or whatever. The companies got too lazy so when they get a return they don't bother checking inside the boxes, they just check...

Yeah I remember TP, and also it was viable to spam but only if you Goaded each other like a big ole TP circlejerk, but most retards wouldn't use Goad so you ended up TP starved and if you were tanking you had to revert to Flash spamming with your cross class Flash(which did 0 damage, just aggro...

The timing isn't that close, it isn't a korean action game with like 0.5s iframes timings that only work when you play in Korea. In fact it's basically the same shit they already have where for example Sheltron was touted as a very short "reactive" ability but the baseline duration is...

The combat is still going to be the same combat. The revamp is the new evolved mode, which basically condenses abilities down to a more palatable amount, makes them available faster while leveling(also good for downsynced content so you don't end up with fucking weird ass low lvl "rotations"...

That's a lot of pretty big changes, not sure how it'll all pan out but I guess they wanted to switch things up. I wonder how the expeditions or whatever the thing where you send your alts on missions will work, if it's a 20/24h kind of deal or a 1h thing where you spam it when playing. The level...

Oh right the old one, yeah was thinking of the new one since that's the only one I got.

No it doesn't? It has trackpads with haptic feedbacks under the sticks if you want to use them, can use them for mouse movement or as buttons, but all the other buttons(which are the default pad buttons, the trackpads are additional and need to be configured) are normal buttons, and the DS4 and...

Yeah I played the demo and it plays exactly like a gacha, if you're not familiar with them a lot of it will be super confusing like how your xp is mostly obtained from using xp manuals rather than grinding past the first ~10levels, how you have to unlock your level cap 10 by 10 by farming...

Watched the live letter stuff quickly, the BST rogue-like mode actually looks kinda fun, they've put some real effort into it it looks like, it has unique items and stuff not just a series of fights like the Carnival. I was planning to resub 2weeks before the patch or so since I figured I...

Actually isn't based on the new place, but on original Eorzea, they had a slide mentionning it so going to copy paste the reddit post because I'm too lazy to check it out again, but it's based on the Aerslent in the North Empty, where the Roegadyns are from. Which is basically viking land, just...

There's still the very common trope of dual pistols. Tons of asian mmos have that class archetype, basically Dante from Devil May Cry pistol stuff, spinning, whirling, jumping while firing infinite bullets kind of thing. It'd be very different from Machinist and would work fine. Other somewhat...

Yeah mid to late game there's a shift in base building. You can brute force it(by either doubling/tripling up on the crafting stations for example or just afking through it), get better pals(there's a hard limit to that though) or start the breeding process to get all your pals max condensation...

Alright done with the game. Yesterday I killed all the raid bosses on normal difficulty without having to do anything fancy, just dump my 15 strongest pal and my own party and fight, it wasn't that bad although I have 0 interest in doing it on hard mode. Then started grinding the arena, god this...
