Re: Baldur's gate 3

So, I haven't posted in a while. But I did finally buy BG3 after ignoring early access forever. We're currently in the last act on our 3rd run, second on Tactician. AFAIK, BG3 had upwards of 500k concurrent players on Steam which for a CRPG is.... absolutely insane. The game in many areas is probabl...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

First off you're falling into the trap that a lot of people fall into, namely by diluting the definition of fascism to the point it's utterly meaningless. Fascism has a VERY specific definition (the key part is that ALL people forgo individuality and submit to the will of the state; there is NO ind...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

You really don't look at the authors though. In fact you've gleefully ignored what the authors actually say when it contradicts your own headcanon (hence your refusal to acknowledge aspects of the Warrior of Light's character, or that Zenos is actually entirely right about the fact that there is a ...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

To an immortal being 1000 years is the equivalent of last week. Those scars take longer to heal. And the ensuing war sure as hell didn’t help either. What scars? I'm sorry, are you applying knowledge you gained later of Migard's story that was nonexistent in ARR to this current argument? Cuz it sur...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

He has a pretty good reason to look down on mortals. Thordan betrayed and murdered his daughter and the war's been going on for 1000 years at this point. Wow, so a small group of humans, out of millions did a shit thing to his kid, and now he thinks we're all trash. This somehow doesn't make him lo...

Yea, he comes off as an arrogant prick. Even if it's a translation failure, it's like a trust fund baby mocking us for scraping together enough money to barely survive after being given a small stipend and then being like "Imma take it away to test you." To twist the knife, his actions (an...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Thing is, people at the time were saying "PLD HW quests suck as bad as ARR." As PLD was my first 60 in HW, I did it at the time. So, I think that colored my perception. The ARR PLD quests are fine. The HW ones were a really weird knockoff of the old DS9 episode Sword of Kahless. Spoiler ta...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

I put off finishing out ARR and moving to HW on my alt cuz I need to level DRG. I can't go into HW without having one up on Esintien. I remember way back playing through HW, everytime Esty would get mouthy, I'd be like "don't make me kick your ass again. I'll fuckin' do it if the game lets me.&...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Hell, i haven't even unlocked Mentor Roulette yet, though I do have Mentor status. I still need to do a lot of the Minstrel's Ballad/Extreme fights, plus finish the shadowbringers 24-man. I can't even recall my trip? I learned of it's existence when I came back from hiatus toward the end of SB. I s...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

(all of this is IMO): WAR has never been fun. TBF: neither was PLD for quite a while, but its sheer amount of utility kept me playing it. And then the refactor came in for EW, and I mean: it's all I play tankwise right now. Which is good because STARTING EW, I was 35 clears to my WAR mount, now I'm ...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

You can solo all the HW EXs IIRC. I know I just did... Zurvan EX as WAR for my book. The ARR stuff is all easy to solo, you can nuke them easy with DNC or MCH at even 80. Hit me up for other garbo when/if they add cross server group stuff. Cuz aw yea https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/3994612247...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Lotteries open back up (possibly) May 16th. We're scraping together the Gil for hopefully 2 bids on a Kugane Mansion. You never know! The new PvP system is a hilarious trainwreck. It's unbalanced, low skill-ceiling, MOBA ult fest. It's actually fun, I think I'm going to farm the mounts this time. WH...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Outside the beggining of the expac IMO, the only weak part of the expac has been the current Normal Raids. The bosses look stupid, the music is boring and bad, and mechanics are just lazy rehashes with tons of raid-wide damage to keep the healers awake, and the whole storyline with it has yet to hav...

FFXIV has an option to back your configs up to their cloud now. Should be at the top of the login screen.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Roes have... animation issues, IMO. It's the same reason I can't play a lot of races. MaleRa run speed doesn't match the animation. MaleRo run like they're holding a dump in. FemMidlanders are way too dainty. FemRoe are basically Lydia from Skyrim ( masculine run animation). They should consider add...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Dancer is fun even at 60, and only becomes more fun. It can also nuke Moogle EX in 30 seconds, so there’s that…..

The only class I think just levels “perfect” is Red Mage. I can’t think of any fat they could cut on it. Versus Dragoon which gets bloated to high hell IMO.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

I used to main SCH and it's still a really good class. But I've monged WHM heals so much, it's hard to go back to a class that needs 3 buttons to do what WHM does in 1. While WHM is arguably one of the weaker healers, but it does great work for the bare minimum. That is now WAR for tanking. Honestly...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Here's the rub, I can't think of a single non-EX/Savage hit a tank can't take. Unmitigated. Not at this point in the game. In ARR, your passive mitigation was only your HP pool and armor. Paladins having WAY more armor until they normalized Shield Armor rating (making is useless). And instead just g...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

When things are going well in 99% of content, the only thing a tank needs to concern themselves is tank related stuff such as, as said, positioning and tank swap mechanics. Thing is, TAKING damage is counter-intuitive playing to a lot of players. It's usually the antithesis of gameplay. You're getti...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV

That's really good advice! I don't have as much problems with pulling the Mobs, it's the Boss fights that really have me sweating the CDs. I've had my CD run out just before having to run for a side (and not making it), and it's never fun. Especially when the safe side is all the way on the other s...
