The AH is the worst system I've seen in gaming. Utter trash. 1600+ red line bags up. Spend 10 minutes clicking buyout then clicking accept to only ever see "the item was not found". Yet, the total number of items never drops fast enough to make you think 1600+ just sold instantly.

Never played Black Flag, but I imagine CD plays much like it. Basically I just try to stay roadside to the ene.y ship and blast. Aim with LT and fire with RT. The size of the ship determines how many cannons you have, but you also need that many ppl to man them. All ships can have front mounted...

Can anyone here who has played a Classic Hunter a lot give an e plantation on Hunter Pet abilities? Like Bite and Claw. I looked at a list of all Cat pets, and each shows that they have the same 4 abilities: Bite, Claw, Dash and Prowl. Bite and Claw are shown with various ranks and TP costs, but...

Try Darkshore, it fully lives up to its name.

Game is shit without inventory space. I'm surprised they don't sell them.

Got a night elf Hunter to lvl10, but then the tedium of trying to feed any of the pets set in and I bailed. As far as I can tell, nothing in Teldrassil drops anything a pet would eat while leveling. Switched to a Human Warlock to see how that goes... and servers go down.

What is up with the Human female HD models all having huge flat noses? Edit: Oh, the default must be for minority types; there is a setting at the bottom for normal faces, lol.

The underwater exploration is superb. The diving suit(s) and breathing devices allow you stay underwater indefinitely, plus if you're ever in a bad situation you can teleport back to your ship (have to install a device to allow that). While I'm disappointed that they didn't open up any new areas...

I used to think that the control setup was bad (for controller), but the more I played I realized its not the input combinations themselves, rather its using them to interact with the world / UI which is annoying at times. Like the forward momentum characters have that has you move into a space...

54g patch on Steam for the DLC+Patch. Edit: Pretty buggy, as expected. Must be something on my end, I think. Installed various older drivers. Uninstalled / reinstalled / verified, etc. Game loads, compiles shaders fine. Then it will crash as Kliff is walking to the cube of light. Edit: Finally...

Two nice QoL changes i e seen so far have been that new Damaine and Oongka get the same amount of ability points to spend as Kliff, and now you can extract resources you put into gear you've enhanced without destroying that gear. You get 75% of the basic resources and all the artifacts/scales.

Finally finished the MSQ, and to be honest, it was OK up til the Golden Dragon fight onward, at that point it was just bad. Bad fights, bad pacing, just bad. The game is at its absolute best when you ignore the MSQ and just go explore the world doing the little side quests / regional stuff...

TLDR reddit post for a podcast today with Will talking about the DLC, some interesting tidbits in there (like all 3 characters becoming main characters in future updates):

I recommend alternating between MSQ and exploration/regional quests.

The 5070ti has been amazing for me.
