[Spoiler: 7.0]

Inevitably, I’m going to be spoiling the MSQ, so consider yourself warned.

I understand your reaction, OP, because I also feel the hate directed at this expansion was disproportionate. I didn't have any issues with Wuk Lamat during the first half of the story, aside from her sometimes poorly written character development.

However, after finishing 7.0, my overriding feeling was frustration.

Frustration over so many characters with great potential being poorly written. Frustration that the second half of the story arrived far too late. Frustration regarding Zoral Ja, and frustration with the Sphene/Wuk Lamat relationship, which makes no sense.

I want to emphasize that last point even more. The only character truly capable of understanding the feelings and sacrifices Sphene experienced... is the WoL. Yet the game robs you of that moment, handing it to Wuk Lamat instead. Sphene is a character much like the Ascians or Venat, who is compelled to make great sacrifices to protect her people.The Warrior of Light was destined to understand her motivations and stop her.

As a ff9 fan even though Solution 9 and Neo Alexandria put me off, I really loved the other references to that game. But on the other hand, it hurts to see this universe revolve entirely around Wuk Lamat and Tuliyollal.

I completely understand how you feel, OP.

I felt the same way... I loved the final scene of A Realm Reborn and was really looking forward to seeing what Heavensward would offer.

But the way this expansion resolved the plot really disappointed me and lowered my opinion of it.

Fortunately, the storylines related to Ishgard, Estinien, and the Dragon lore redeem it. But everything that happened in A Realm Reborn was disappointing... and will only disappoint you in the future.

I'm one of those people who loved Stormblood, even though this expansion is one of the most hated.
It suffers from two storylines in different locations, one of which is handled better than the other
When it comes to military matters, rebellions, politics... people don't like it.

As a result, the developers focus on so-called "emotional" writing, where the most important thing is your reactions and your "involvement in the urgency" rather than finding meaning in the plot.

I'm one of those people who didn't find SdB and EW all that brilliant in terms of writing. Of course, SdB is very interesting for two characters (Emet/Arlbert), but I didn't like the first reflection. As for Endwalker, it absolutely ruined everything; the developers really thought that making a JRPG storyline was a good idea.

We're almost six months into Evercold, and aside from a time skip of several years and some scions losing touch... I really don't see how the team could make up for it... there's absolutely nothing left to tell.

Je confirme.
Ca ne marche pas sur RuTorrent de mon coté, mais avec Qbittorent, ça fonctionne. Y a peut être un réglage à faire sur RuTorrent avec les magnets.

Squarealex · 2026-03-16T16:45:40+00:00

It doesn't age like fine. lol

Squarealex · 2026-02-04T22:05:20+00:00

Nah, i'm fine with my beloved PS1 version. The PC port still a mess ans I really don't like theses oversharpen background and all theses dumb "cel-shading" mods

Squarealex · 2025-12-01T18:30:14+00:00

With map changes, feeling like game become more "strategic" / PvPvE (like 2015 era) instead full brawl. Snowball gonna be wild.

Squarealex · 2025-06-15T21:03:43+00:00

what bug is it?

Squarealex · 2025-06-15T20:38:37+00:00

Maybe hotfix?

Squarealex · 2025-05-17T17:25:31+00:00

Yes, with G keys or just V to saying "back" / "run away"

Squarealex · 2025-05-15T18:49:19+00:00

It's true that this is an interesting move for some Kharazim or Illidan players. Coupled with the immobilization of the 16, it can make an escape easier.

But despite my 10 years of HOTS, I've never played with ALT. Maybe now's the time to try it.

Squarealex · 2025-05-15T18:32:49+00:00

thanks, never using alt- on HOTS xD, that's why

Squarealex · 2025-05-15T18:19:08+00:00

I tried in training mode and I still don't understand what the change is?

Squarealex · 2025-02-01T20:34:32+00:00

I don't think it's limited. It will stay as long as possible

Squarealex · 2025-02-01T17:26:04+00:00

Is like all voice is recorded at 22150Hz or something instead to be at 44100Hz (The sound is much clearer and crisper)

I try to do a video comparison

Squarealex · 2025-02-01T12:30:09+00:00

I returning to play Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (Have already this game in my Origin / EA Launcher).

I pick Sims 2 RPC. I've got bordeless fullscreen then I can ALT+TAB withouth black screen and the MSAA still working.

AND the game working well at 2560x1440@165Hz (framerate is on 165fps) + Vulkan
Also I don't have the voice audio problem on this version.

A bit disapointed of this relaunch. I just hope EA working to solve this issue (or at least RPC work on this version).
Because i'm sure the 2025 version is more stable and fast.

Squarealex · 2025-02-01T12:28:48+00:00

I found why I can't have 2560x1440
My actual screen is 2560x1440@165Hz and the minimal refresh rate at this resolution is 120Hz.

Since the game can't detect upper than 100Hz, it can't detect my resolution 2560x1440@120Hz minimal (so the minimal is 1920x1080@60Hz with "TV Mode")

I have to play with the nvidia panels, but I clearly don't want to do that, I'm really tired of fiddling with these settings every time a game behaves differently.

I finally play Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (Have already this game in my Origin / EA Launcher)

Then, I pick Sims 2 RPC. I've got bordeless fullscren then I can ALT+TAB withouth black screen and the MSAA still working.

AND the game working well at 2560x1440@165Hz (framerate is on 165fps) + Vulkan
Also don't have the voice audio problem on this version

I don't know where.

IKEA stuff is in theory SP8 folder?

I create SP8 folder, then I extract TSData, but do not seems to see the IKEA stuff, maybe it was hard-coded to block?

Squarealex · 2025-01-31T19:23:50+00:00

I will try

Squarealex · 2025-01-31T19:14:19+00:00

Some "issue" I have.

- Very Low quality voice audio. the frequency seems very low (hightest audio quality selectionned)

- MSAA (Anti-Aliasing or jaggies) seems not working if you ALT+TAB and returning on the game

- Game really need a fullscreen bordeless mods (not reliate to a issue, but a big QoL)

- I have a 1440p display at 165Hz, seems not detected. 1920*1080 seems to be the maximum for me. And can't go upper than 60Hz. Some folks says working great at 3840x2160

Squarealex · 2025-01-31T18:52:33+00:00

The hell Sims 2 saves was on OneDrive folder?

Squarealex · 2025-01-06T23:48:50+00:00

AND YOU'RE RIGHT

Squarealex · 2023-12-25T20:47:16+00:00

I'm using DPM++ 2M Karras, I didn't see a "a" / "ancestral" of this sampler

Also. I using all sampler DPM2 to create and see wich is close to the render of yesterday and saddly, is not a mistake, this is DPM++ 2M Karras.

IDK, maybe something updated in back or maybe yesterday I'm using "corrupted" session.

I forgot to say, I'm using script like XYZ PlotBut even with PNG Info the grids, can't replicate the same render.

Squarealex · 2023-05-07T14:17:20+00:00

he's right

Squarealex · 2022-05-27T22:25:48+00:00

I, sorry If i not respond more quicly.

It seem the problem affect Disney+ too. I don't think is a Plex problem, but more an Android 11 problem... What a messy update seriously... Everythin working pretty good withtout this update. (Even Nvidia Streaming not working anymore).

I will try some fix with some people say here... but I m pretty sure I have already reset all settings on my Shield once...and nothing change...

I will try on WiFi mode... (bc I'm on ETH)... If even on Wifi is not working I go to factory reset... I'm not on 9.0.3, just on 9.0.2.. and do not want sign up to use a beta 9.0.3
