    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Gotta give it to them, that looks even worse than expected.

    And it is consistent, consistently not realistic. There's not a single scene in that trailer that has realistic firearms(or weapons in general, last I checked katanas don't shoot out waves of energy when you slash with them).

    Oh no the game that has beans killing each other doesn't have realistic weapons.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ninja is a fairly static rotation, it has braindead filler then a massive burst of dmg+buttons, it feels nice to get the burst done right but once you get the order memorized there's not much to it. I think SAM has some more optimization but not much, all the melees are kinda straightforward in...

    Problem of 24man is it takes a while to clear and only a few pieces drop(not guaranteed for your class), and then a lot of people roll cause they drop directly so they don't mind rolling to desynth/throw at the GC, while for normal raids you have to trade the pieces in and a lot of people just...

    I will add, since you probably want to get the EW MSQ done though, it could be worth spending a bit. I wouldn't buy the whole set, make sure you check other servers, grab accessories for cheap(over here you can get them for 20-25k on some servers, same for boots/gloves/helm for some classes)...

    Monster Hunter: World

    New trailer, looks fucking awesome. Also confirms voiced hunter but still able to pick male/female(hunter is a female in this one, was male in previous trailer). Also I didn't watch the stream but supposedly they confirmed both crossplay and simultaneous releases.

    V Rising

    On drac I used void as my dmg spell, a block(I think the ice one is what I settled on in the end, can get good damage out of eating his projectile spam shit), pistols and scholar blood. Ult was spider, cause it's fire and forget(also condemn debuff for free). Pistol is nice because you get burst...

    Yeah I've used that but I don't know about "nice" the way it's organized, a lot of shit is just "here's a bunch of random skills" because it follows the ingame classifications when it would be a lot easier to use if they were organized properly. But it'd be a lot more work too. The Pictomancer...

    Looking at the detailed tooltips, man Pictomancer is going to be awful garbage in leveling roulettes/low level content. Definitely good I'm gonna do MSQ with it. The issue is it actually doesn't have many skills at all, it has a bunch of buttons but that's largely because the first 2 palettes...

    This post has a lot of the links, it is missing some people's job videos though(for example Mr Happy has a video for every job) but good stuff if you want to see some specific stuff like the 2 dyes channel video. Edit: Finished watching every job video, seems the leaks I had seen were accurate...

    Yeah I don't think DPS queues will be any worse than usual, healer/tank players are still gonna play these, DPS players will switch to other DPS, but there's not gonna be a majority of players doing DPS stuff just because it's new. Some for sure but yeah. Queues actually go decently in my...

    They haven't said exactly yet, there's a bunch of leaks already and apparently media tour info embargo should be soon(some say later today) so we'll see. BLM being YoshiP's main class though there's little chance it turns out complete shit. The leaks say they removed increased mp regen from...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    They haven't said anything, probably cause they haven't said anything about a release date in the first place, game's still likely a year away so will know more in 6months or whatever. Capcom does release some games globally(Dragon's Dogma2 as a very recent example) BUT historically MH has...

    That's where I was too, it's not too long. Can play for 4days for free atm I think, so you could delay resubbing for a bit if you just want to clear the MSQ. Still recommend resubbind the week before to do a bit of prep(getting a khloe book and completing it but not turning it in until release...

    Monster Hunter Wilds

    No we didn't, at least not for Worlds. We had an accelerated release of patches, kinda, it still took until Iceborne to catch up(and Iceborne itself was several months later). I don't remember the exact timeline for Rise but looking at release dates, base game was also almost a year later...

    Well teamcraft is just a simulator of the ingame crafting(also a lot of other tools for a bunch of stuff but the core part is that). The idea is you just tweak stuff around to find a macro that works with your stats for the item you're trying to craft, then you copy paste the macro ingame and...

    I do use my controller on PC but mostly for gathering and other stupid shit like alt tabbed fishing and island sanctuary grinding. There are a good amount of ressources about gamepad layouts though, some class specific and some generic so usually you can get your setup done pretty easily but the...

    I'd say it's probably 50/50, you can't underestimate how unhinged the turbo simps for these streamers are.

    For the media tour I'm only interested in class changes pretty much, but yeah they're super limited on content they don't actually play the story or anything, just a random dungeon without context and then can run around a zone with some dummies so they can test rotations. While I don't care...

    Na not the patch notes, the media tour info. They do a media tour where they go around the world and basically provide a demo to various news outlets every expansion. Then the outlets write previews and stuff about the game. They also invite youtubers and other content creators, who in turn...

    Been playing this again in preparation of Dawntrail, mostly doing the event stuff(that Fall Guys event was so much grinding ugh) and cleaning up things I hadn't done before, lots of random ass content I don't think I'm gonna end up using(Eureka Orthos seems kinda fucking useless the way it's...

    They really don't give a fuck about that, they'll only care if you report the account was stolen. Maybe in the future they will but currently steam account ownership is irrelevant, they don't care where the payments are coming from or who owns the account or if the info is even legit instead of...

    V Rising

    Well you don't necessarily need to melee, I meant attack builds like with the speed/crit armor sets, pistols and whips are great for that for example, I played rogue blood bow early on and it worked fine for example I just switched to a caster setup cause I wanted to see how it worked. But yeah...

    V Rising

    Alright finished the game on Brutal, the last 4 bosses were pretty interesting, Adam took me a long time(maybe like 5hours or so) but felt like a really nice fight overall, Solarus was kinda annoying until I got the strat right, Talzur was a big joke I think it took me like 3 or 4 pulls to kill...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Yeah I remember that one being pretty rippy. The worst iirc is the Crypt or whatever, where you have the same type of Corruption caster stuff but also undead and with way less room to run around, culminating into a floor with an escort. That escort is borderline impossible to do if you don't...

    V Rising

    Yeah bow is what I'm using atm as it's just good all around with no real weaknesses, E does good single target damage, Q does good aoe and is a quick click for single target also and the primary can be cancelled early so it doesn't force you to commit too much, while also allowing to draw longer...

    V Rising

    So far I can't tell what Brutal does on a lot of these fights. I'm in act 3 now and I'd say a good 70% of the bosses don't feel like they have any new patterns, just more damage/health from the basic mods? Maybe they do and I just didn't notice because I only killed them once on normal and...

    Oh it is you're right, I thought it was finally doing the combo rotation thing that they do already in pvp. Not much of a point then, other than people who want to split the replacement to have more control if they're used to mashing, oh well maybe next expansion they can figure that.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Reddit post that summarizes the info. Some interesting non class related changes are the addition of the hotbar replacement setting, similar to how you can mod it, you select it for each action where it's relevant too so you can customize how you feel about it. Basically lets you put the 123...

    I haven't done Frostmaw on brutal yet. I think on normal I one or two shot him, don't remember him particularly. I did use pets on normal though, I basically used the same 2 spells for most of the game, the bolt that summons skeletons on hit(with a jewel that summons 2 skeletons at the same...

    V Rising

    In typical fashion I started my brutal alt before I finished the game, surprised that it's not that bad (yet). Part of it is being used to the game but a bigger part is using ranged weapons(crossbow first then bow). Ranged weapons are hilariously easier to play on these early bosses. I'm like...

    V Rising

    Yeah I just use solo since I have no real interest in the multiplayer thing, works fine, server "shuts down" whenever I close the game(servant missions keep ticking though so you get your loot when you wake up as you would normally), there's really nothing complicated about it either and in fact...

    V Rising

    Been playing this the past few days, it's really good, scratch that Terraria itch, it's very heavy on combat with lots of bosses which I like, there's some grinding but not too much(and it's mostly combat grinding too, don't really gather that much, mostly ores every new tiers). Lots of stuff to...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    It's tied to one of the DLCs iirc, the chtuluh one that adds a bunch of horror/tentacle themed classes. It's a very lategame option that kinda breaks the game, because as long as you have money, you can craft near perfect items and doing that in a few spots(weapon and gloves were the most...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    You can only learn specific things outside of your class mechs, none of which is shields. There's the escort rewards and the static quest rewards but most are of them are kinda bad, a few are good situationally(Anti Magic for example can be nice if the class allows it without fucking you over)...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    I think after a few runs I just used one of the DLC appearance that doesn't change with gear(mostly the naked lady with tentacles) cause most of the runs you end up looking like a fucking clown and the items are way too useful in this game to use shit for appearance. I think there's an...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    Big money figured it's cheaper making GaaS/live service shit games than shit mmos, so when they crash it's less of a problem. Market saturation to an extent also with lots of ppl already playing other mmos and while willing to play new ones, would always compare it to a 10-15year old game with...

    Total War: Warhammer

    For the Dwarfs there's some issues with the new Grudge mechanic that makes it scales too quickly, they already made a post about planned changes though(I'm guessing the week after next). Basically it scales based on known factions, but if you run around with a hero and especially if you start...

    Na last "real" patch is June 2021. In may 2023 they did release a patch that was a few bug fixes and modding changes in preparation for the DLC beta, and in july they released a 2 lines patch that fixed some website stuff, but for the most part there hasn't been one of the bigger patches they...
