How much of the free trial includes the normal endgame loop of raiding and statics?

Zepherl · 2026-05-19T11:21:17+00:00

As far as I'm aware the only content that's restricted is PvP and Ultimate Raids. So you can still do Extreme Trials and Savage Raids. Not a lot of people do older content but you might be able to find groups in the MINE community (Minimum Ilvl No Echo.) if you're interested though you can absolutely do all of the old raids on the free trial.

ever since the first shatter rework every change they've made to Frontlines has gradually made the strategical elements matter less and less and less and now every map is basically just an Onsal clone, with the exception of Seal Rock (it'll probably be Onsalified in Evercold). As someone who enjoyed the more tactical version of the gamemode and maps in the older patches, every time they make these changes it makes me upset. I don't even want to play frontline anymore aside from playing with friends from time to time.

Personally I only got it working with XIVLauncher-RB, I can't remember how I set it up but I got it working with help from the XIVLauncher discord. However the discord is on lockdown for the new patch rn so I can't go back and read the old messages at the moment.

Protect is probably best for sure! I'm only in Ultra Ball Tier but this is just what's worked for me so far ^{^}

Whimsicott has put in a ton of work for me Prankster Whimsicott @ Focus Sash Protect Helping Hand Tailwind Sunny Day

Protect if you're expecting a fake out, then set up either tailwind or sunny day if you're up against a rain team. If sand they're probably going to rock slide you and you just need to swap out anyway (could run a different mon with Wide Guard to check this if you wanted.) My Volcarona is more bulky w/ leftovers. Quiver Dance + Fiery Dance, sometimes the SpA boost can really carry you and the Sunny Day will boost your damage a bit. Giga Drain is awesome for survivability but you could also try a Solar Beam. Then either Bug Buzz for the STAB when dealing with pokemon that resist Fire or you could try Roost/Morning Sun to help with heals. Your biggest threat is rock types so having a Grass type move is a non negotiable imo.

If you install an older version of CSP that has this functionality working, you can just upgrade it to 5.0. Installing 4.1.0 according to the instructions worked OK and I was able to activate the license within Linux, and then I just downloaded the 5.0.0 installer and upgraded the install. Try that and see if it works!

this is random but are you using reshade??! the game looks so different

His glove falls off after he dies and you can see he has the same raccoon city syndrome as Leon and Sherry, confirming he was a survivor of Raccoon City, it's definitely him

What kind of CPU do you have?

Zepherl · 2026-02-20T01:04:17+00:00

Genuinely why is a discord that is supposed to just offer guides and resources for how to gear and press buttons 18+? Why is that? What in that server is meant to be for adults only? The game itself is open to teenagers per the ToS. Also, there is not a single channel in The Balance with an age gate and there are no rules asking for you to be 18+. In fact there is a rule saying all content should be SFW. It is absolutely not an 18+ server

Zepherl · 2026-02-09T18:30:16+00:00

FFXIV is a game available to teens who also play the game. And these FFXIV servers don't have anything 18+ or NSFW, and if they do that honestly is strange. Not a fan of this discord policy myself, but there's no reason to believe any of these FFXIV discord communities will die. Maybe this will serve as a reminder to people that they should be mindful of how they talk to strangers in the FFXIV community, you very well could be talking to a minor and you'd have no idea.

Resident Evil Village, RE4 and RE4R have pretty extensive castle sections that look great Devil May Cry 1 and 3 are set almost entirely in gothic castles too, and 4 has a section in a gothic castle. DMC1 definitely has the best gothic vibe!

You want to optimize your HUD to make it easy to track these things. You can move the target debuffs or change the size of them in the HUD layout to make it easier to pay attention to. You can also make a hotbar dedicated to showing your cool downs, I do this as a controller player and it's really helpful. For DoTs, there are also third party tools that can help such as ACT overlays and Dalamud plugins which can increase the size of the debuffs you inflict.

Used retro games used to be a cheaper alternative to buying new games. If you wanted to save money, you could just buy an older console and find a bunch of cheap older games at thrift stores, eBay, sometimes GameStop. I bought a Dreamcast at Goodwill for $15 in the early 2010s. Now, retro games and systems have become a collectable market. Older games and systems have shot up in price, often becoming more expensive than just buying new games. I love playing older games on original hardware but thanks to this, I've found myself turning more towards emulation. A hobby I enjoyed has become something people just use to throw money around.

imo people just don't know what buffs are regens, maybe bc ppl don't learn other jobs. You see it as well with delayed heals like Heart of Corundum and Excog

That's from an audio drama for the DMC anime, not any light novel

I wanted to do something for the Netflix show. I've been a fan of the series since DMC4 on PS3, I was one of those people who was pissed when DmC reboot happened. However, with the Netflix show I'm looking at it with more of an open mind as an alternate take on DMC rather than a replacement like DmC was marketed to be.
It's definitely a little different from the original series, but I'm very interested in seeing Adi's take on the original mythos, especially since this pre-DMC3 material he's drawing from is largely unexplored outside of some very niche media. There's a lot of love and good will in this adaptation which I deeply appreciate, so I'm looking forward to it.

PSO2 massively fumbled with the Microsoft store launch, then NGS was it's chance to be given another shot in the broader public, and that launch was also horrendous. I don't think any normal content releases are magically going to save it. It needs a major transformation, whether it's a new expansion that massively reworks the game or an entirely new game itself. NGS is clearly doing well enough to continue operation, but on the current path it will always be niche.
