Even though I had to bail on the static last minuteish (Sorry guys :/ ended up not missing a ton of launch anyway at that, so rip) decided to play anyway. if anyone ever needs a group hit up Yang, just chilling right now.
Resists. Level gated planes (I know they weren't at first, but that shit was added fairly quickly whene veryone was getting full shiverback twinks cause why not), keying, whether you could bypass it or not these were all heavily implemented things in early EQ.
Saying that resist shit in the...
You're fucking retarded. EQ literally had keying quests and resists and shit that you needed. This isn't any different. You're not LITERALLY prevented from trying to walk accross that bridge in the video without the resist, they tried to do it first for that very god damn reason, btu you're...
Thinking either monk, sk, or bard. Barring abnormalities I should be able to commit VERY hard for 2-3 days and then just be kind of regular after that.
P99 always felt like trash to me, tried several times over the years, didn't enjoy it. also the population is significantly lower, which actually makes it way harder for that to replicate a proper experience.
Just finished it at ~32 hours for a reasonably thorough first playthrough. 10/10. Exactly what I wanted in a sequel, better mechanically than HR, and more sandboxy/closer to the original game than HR in terms of what you can do in the world/how you can tackle objectives. People bitch it's not...
It's literally all client side. Doing it all server side would be inefficient and slow. Your item stuff is in a cache, and the quest text is just straight up in the files afaik.
I mean, I'm not saying they couldn't possibly do it, but they'd have to change how stuff is set up, and it would...
Because nothing fucking happens. This game has literally no purpose.
Imagine if the ending to Terraria was closing your game, clicking 'new world' and making a new one.
The best MMO I never bother to play anymore. Sad. The problem I have with it is that it's a real bitch to get back itno when you've quit. It's hard to know where new quests are that you might've missed from issues, and it's hard to figure out a viable build when you've got access to a huge chunk...
Wear heirlooms. It's like 1.3-1.4 levels per 'set' of invasions then at higher levels. Got several alts I never intended to play from 90-100 over a day and a half.
Also, the chests scale with when you open them not when you got them, so just store em up until you hit 100 and instantly have...
I mean...they would have to have it decrypted to test shit, the only way to prevent it from getting datamined is to leave it unusable, which kind of defeats the purpose of either testing (beta/ptr datamining) the stuff, or putting it live (actual patches). A video file once in a blue moon is...
Karana had the KGC - Karana Guild Council, which had a rotating calendar for boss kills, you'd sign your guild up, get on the waiting list, and if you didn't kill it in a timely manner (a day I think? Idk) it was open for others to take it and you lost your chance.
A lot of people liked to...
Man. This game looks exaclty like it looked a week ago - boring as fuck. Have fun mining for assholeium to lift off. Or scanning new animals that look just like the old animals but with procedurally generated DOUBLE penises this time.
Day 1 patches NEVER add that significant sounding of...
What are you talking about? Of course I'm overstating how good that patch was, I literally said I was doing that, because I was pointing out that the FF14 bullshit was being overstated. FF14 patches are tiny. Saying 'two new dungeons' when one of them is ALWAYS a rehashed dungeon as a hard mode...
I'll have to find the itemized minutes of that period, but my initial report is showing me that of the 96 hours, 54 were spent masturbating, 25 were spent sleeping, 15 were spent on the computer and 2 were spent shitting, pissing, or showering.
FF14 doesn't have 'more' content than wow in any given timeframe, that's my point. You can argue for more well-spaced content, I think wow could learn that lesson, but FF14 has SIGNIFICANTLY less over time than wow, and is flat out a worse game. What else is there to say?
And LOL Kreugen. I had...
Are you shitting me? Hard mode versions of all of the expansion dungeons should absolutely be in at launch, having TWO available at any given moment that are meaningful is the definition of bullshit. How can you try to defend that?
How retarded are you guys? You are 'forced' to drive a car around like 3 times for a total of 2 minutes tops, and it's way better than walking? Like, literally "Wah I wish they didn't give me a mount for this zone that is big and city-ish sized"
You have to be a literal faggot to prefer killing...
I like how you say 'typical patch stuff' at the end, EVERYTHING YOU LISTED is 'typical patch stuff'
Yeah, FF14 adds new max level dungeons each time, know why? Because they don't have them when expansions launch.
New dungeons? Oh, and now the old ones give less tomestones so that you're...
The questing experience in wod is fun. It's a reason the subs jumped really hihg (and the cinematic). Like, you might as well play through the zones. Otherwise, the raids are good there just wasn't enough, LFR is LFR though so it's probably not important to see them.
I'm not even talking about fucking raids, I'm talking about actually just things to do, IE dungeons, grind points of whatever kind, etc.
FF14 starts every expansion with literally 1-2 dungeons. 1 raid with like 4 bosses, and now heavensward has bounties and shit to do. It's night and fucking...
What? FF14 has the LEAST variety of any MMO. You get 2 dungeons with more being drip-fed, you get hunts. great. fun. really cool guys. And....that's about it. You get seasonal events and shit but those are grindy shit too, just GW2 events wrapped in weeabo skin.
I mean...for fun? What's the point of doing anything. None of it is habit when there's content you haven't done. Just during downtimes between expansions is that remotely true. Classes change, game changes, raids are always different, etc. It's not like it's EQ where Id' be stoked for a raid...
Not sure how anyone can say the combat in this feels good. It feels 'fine' but it's still just slow ass wow-clone combat. Yeah you have lots of off GCDs, but your gcd is a year and a half so it might as well just be wow AT BEST. Animation locking stuff still sucks ass and feels clunky.
Game is...
I mean...anyone giving any 'class' advice based on anything but the past month of the game is giving extremely outdated/pointless information. Not just what you posted, but have seen some other "Oh I remember" bla bla type posts. Wow USUALLY overhauls every spec every expansion, because if they...
Don't play a druid. They're gay.
Play whatever else you want.
Serious answer: Just find whatever you want to do, you don't need to have fast queues the first time through, and you're going to have a bad time playing with most random people if you're a tank or healer that is slowing the group...
Man. It's a real shame how much of our glorious history is lost. Now we're just stuck here piecing together scraps of memories from 4 fucking forums and almost two decades.
God damn, I hadn't been keeping up since the hooking debacle, but now I need to throw up.
Pretty sure I still have a Secret World character named Trexxy Nasalsex too.
