Just make sure your numpad is actually enabled. I still use NumLock for my auto run which has hosed me a couple times.

I should be at heavensward this week. Dark Knights start at 30? May have to level that up. I tried rotating summoner and Paladin. Summoner somehow fell behind despite doing the MSQ turn ins.

I still feel the story is a far bit worse than any mainline FF game and arguably worse than WoW even up through Cata. Still a lot of walking between two people 15 feet apart. Assuming as I wrap up the ARR patches it gets better.

Still, this shit is wayyyy better written than anything in GW2, and there’s just a smorgasbord of shit to do. Hell, I spent forever doing random 50 blue quests to unlock shit the other day.

Should I just horde poetics until I hit cap? I bought a wep/shield to get me up to 94ilvl.

HW and beyond is a massive improvement over ARR. Voice acting improves, less of the nothing walking between people stuff. It still has the usual fetch quests and what not, but it is just done much better, with a tighter story all around after you get out of ARR.

a thousand times this lol. they replaced like 90% of the voice actors.

I'm actually a little disappointed that I probably won't get HW finished before my 14 days is up, but I missed my chance for a cheap Shadowbringers of my own on GMG and I'm definitely not gonna sub for a month with just HW.

Side mouse button where your thumb is is pretty life changing for auto run imo. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately that's my PTT button. I would try that second thumb button further up, but I have stupid small woman hands and it's hard to reach.

Is there a cheaper place to buy the complete edition or do I just buy it from the main website?

I did my first Titan fight yesterday, and if I wasn’t hooked before, I sure as hell am now. The wife is really enjoying the game as well, so I think we’ve found a new game home for awhile.

Man I'd say the sub is worth it because still have 4 months to catch up through HW/SB/ShB, but I get it. Although you can finish HW on the free trial, no?

Im not on the free month trial, I used that a couple years ago to try out ARR shortly before ShB came out. I'm on the 14 day 'please come back' offer and I've got like 4 days left.

All of Heavensward and the ending of Shadowbringers is were the good story is at.

Don't worry about poetics, just spend them. They don't buy lv80 gear.

What is up with this queue today? Did something else happen to cause another surge? I always log on around this time, but this is the first time I've had to wait for 10+ minutes.

Update: queue isn't moving whatsoever for me. Stuck at 378.
