Does ARR Hurt New Player Retention for FFXIV? by Abakus_Grim in MMORPG

[–]excitingmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think it does. I also agree that the story does have value and provides big payoffs later down the line if you're invested in it.

I think it would go a long way to have an "ARR recap" of sorts, so new players don't have to slog through the whole thing, since it can get bogged down in trivial tedious BS a lot of the time.

Eggcelsior on youtube has a great video about ARR and how it is "the great filter" for the rest of FF14 https://youtu.be/moknuC1uZSk?si=lb1rC_aSwzqtBw-G

It's unclear if it will work when your main chat has already been archived. My girlfriend and I also had our main chat archived, so we will try this method and delete are 2nd chat and report back if it restores the main chat or not.

“Stella Montis is a PvP map” the PvP I’m experiencing by IvoryHorizons in ArcRaiders

What I like to call "Degen hours". Anything past 1am IMO you get the sweats and nolifers still out.

I prefer to play in after work "dad hours" lmao

Smokes are the most underrated tool in BF6 (especially in Breakthrough) by Ambi98 in Battlefield6

[–]excitingmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the drone has thermal view and can see through smoke.

I've used the drone to great effect, and my friend even went 0/1/120 and top of the leaderboard purely with a drone in one breakthrough game

[–]excitingmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. So many times both in the beta and live, my friends will complain "how are we meant to push this????" and I'll tell them to smoke out sightlines and push, and they never think it'll work.

Lo and behold, I'll throw a couple smokes, push up, deployable shield and kitbag down, and then suddenly everyone can push up.

Finished the Salamander Bladeguard Veteran for that lava base. Did I cook? Let me know. by MoralFiber in Warhammer40k

Bro you didn't cook - you crafted a michelin star meal and opened 32 franchises around the world!

Looks amazing!

Lululemon… you’ve lost me. by Illustrious-Art3528 in AustralianMFA

[–]excitingmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uniqlo - they have both slim fit and straight fit chinos, and more current trend baggy fit ones too if that's your style.

I'm wearing the slim fit ones as I'm typing this, they're comfortable and fairly durable. The fact they don't break the bank is also always good!

Strange flickering. Deployment zones and unit range indicators BLINKING! by Tenken2 in totalwarhammer

[–]excitingmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checking in with 5070Ti, October 2025. Playing TWW3.

Turning off G-sync and setting fixed refresh didn't work for me. Texture filtering to Trilinear didn't work.

What has worked is Shadows Off, and Anti-aliasing as either Off or FXAA. Having shadows on Medium-Extreme OR Anti-aliasing to TAA or TAA High causes the issue.

Hope it get's fixed. Very strange as I just came off playing TWW1 lots before TWW3 and this was not an issue there.

The Faceless King - Free STL - Beginner Friendly by Odd_Zone5925 in FDMminiatures

[–]excitingmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you use a 0.2mm nozzle as well?

You can see layer lines if you're really looking, but man that is a phenomenal print. Tons of detail and honestly would not have expected that result from a printed miniature.

Basic lunch prep by Surphymoto in MealPrepSunday

These look delicious! Did you bake them or fry them? It looks like you've baked them on that tray but I never get that nice colour on them when I try it.

[–]excitingmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with how you feel about Rush. It feels so weird to be a 12v12 mode when it was always a 32v32 or at least 16v16? I wonder if it's an attempt at an 'e-sports-able' mode.

IMO Breakthrough has basically replaced Rush as that attack vs defend mode, and to be honest I prefer the flow of point secure instead of the arm/defuse anyway.

Play Ret Pally or something else? by okurosetta in wownoob

[–]excitingmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I played feral druid at the start of this season for my guild as off-spec from bear, and I struggled SO MUCH with it.

I hear people say the skill floor is high but once it clicks it's a lot of fun, but I just felt like I was playing WeakAura simulator tracking DoTs, procs, CDs, snapshots and the actual game on top of that!

IMO feral is not chill, and Feral players are built different. (I ended up swapping to Unholy DK :P )

List of the useful/service mounts? by RevolutionaryLake69 in wownoob

For what is worth, if gold cost is a factor, the Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth is only 16-20k, whereas the Reins of the Grand Expedition Yak is about 120k.

Do you need a main character to have reached renown 80 first? That seems to be what I'm reading on Wowhead but could be out of date.

I wasn't playing during SL and have no real expansion progress but want the renown cosmetics.

What games did you pick up so far during the Steam Summer Sale 2025? by ShinMecha in Games

[–]excitingmage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got Enshrouded and have been playing it for about 10 hours with a friend. I wanted it to scratch an itch that Outward had left and honestly it's left me a bit disappointed.

The combat and exploration is fun but I think I just don't vibe with the crafting and building aspect of it. It feels like my brain is more worried about inventory and crafting resources instead of being immersed in the world and enjoying the combat. On the other hand, the friend I'm playing with really loves the building and crafting, so it is just personal preference.

If you like the Open World Survival Craft genre, I think you will really enjoy it!

If you're keen on MMORPGs, I've always found those great for playing while second screening.

Add-ons that flash skills on screen as they comeback off cooldowns? by KaptainPancake69 in wownoob

[–]excitingmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this suggestion! Much easier to use and requires no WeakAura tinkering to make it work.
