Yes, I have a very long list of games from Steam and from elsewhere that I wanted to try, and GW2 would be one of them. I've installed the game a long time ago (it maybe a year, maybe?), but never launched it so far, and I finally decided to give it a roll. I … Continue reading So I Tried Guild Wars 2
FFXIV: The Dark Throne – Patch 6.4. Review
Ok, this was a great day of patch. While 6.3. was somewhat lacking in story content length, 6.4. didn't seem like this at all. It took me about 10 hours to walk through the Main Scenario and finish Pandaemonium story - and that's considering almost absent dungeon and raid queues. I did a ton of … Continue reading FFXIV: The Dark Throne – Patch 6.4. Review
FFXIV: Some Pre-Patch Fuss
I know, I know. I've almost stopped posting, but it's for a reason, I think. First and foremost of all, it's such a routine farming in Final Fantasy that is hardly worth of posting for others' attention, anything essential until today. And yet it takes 100% of my gaming time. Well, let's elaborate - as … Continue reading FFXIV: Some Pre-Patch Fuss
FFXIV: A Quick Check-In
Nothing too major happens in my camp - just the blessed leveling is going on :) Like I wrote, I jumped on the board of a big leveling train: the long term goal is all 19 combat jobs on three alts to level cap. I'm making progress whenever I can, pretty chaotically - just deciding … Continue reading FFXIV: A Quick Check-In
FFXIV: Farming, and Leveling, and A Drop of Healing Issues
Yep, basically this. I'm this close to providing my current jobs with their Mandervilles - only two to go for the current raid runners, and yet I spend the precious roulette supply to leveling alt jobs. I've rearranged my gear spreadsheets a bit. One - is about job specific numbers: actual level, weapon level and … Continue reading FFXIV: Farming, and Leveling, and A Drop of Healing Issues
FFXIV: Checking In & Some IRL Nerding
I'm accumulating games I'd like to play - so far it's Genshin on pause, Hogwarts Legacy (barely touched it, entered and slayed a troll in Hogsmeade), replaying Starcraft I campaign in its Remastered version (Carbot and Hi-Res version of an old RTS hit back from when Blizzard was cool), and Stray - haven't even launched … Continue reading FFXIV: Checking In & Some IRL Nerding
FFXIV: Patch 6.35 Progress
Well, actually I don't know why I put Crystarium Splendorous tool shot as a post cover :) I visited the capital of the First to check out what's going on. This shard's version of a top artisan is a lot more pleasant than the one from the Source, and Mowen is also better in character … Continue reading FFXIV: Patch 6.35 Progress
FFXIV: Patch 6.35 Review (Spoilers)
Patch 6.35 dropped on Tuesday - as promised, it was late February/early March, so within the expected timeframe. Like I said, my top attractions here are Loporrit tribal quests and Hildibrand/Manderville update, and that's what I've been exploring. On the Moon, the Loporrits feel kinda lost without a new cause once Etheirys was saved, and … Continue reading FFXIV: Patch 6.35 Review (Spoilers)
FFXIV: My Spring Cleaning Before Patch 6.35
Patch 6.35 is supposed to drop very soon, although there are no news yet on official Twitter channels. The most significant additions for me would be Hildibrand story sequel and the Manderville weapons upgrade, a new reputation faction - the Loporrits, and my first trade tool questline. This all will require time and attention, so … Continue reading FFXIV: My Spring Cleaning Before Patch 6.35
FFXIV & Genshin: A Quick Recap
FFXIV: My progress is on the rails, I'm in my routines - which is one of my happiest spots in MMOs. Not boring, exciting, and a palpable progress with every next day and week. Crafting/Gathering: I'm just a few days away from level cap: What I need is just a bit more leves, and I'm … Continue reading FFXIV & Genshin: A Quick Recap
