lol wtf
5+ years after release
What's there to do at endgame besides raids btw?
anything that takes time and effort?
fringe salmon
they tried getting new servers in july and are only soon-ish getting them
classic 8 people raid, then the 8 man ultimates, that are like extra difficult raids (a lot harder and you cant do them without syncing levels), crafting, housing, every expansion has relic weapons that end up being the best weapon for an expansion (or the same as the weapons from the final raid tier) and those take a while to get
blue mage if you know that class from other FF games
then there is one thing called delubrum that has a hard mode for 12-48 people which is unique form all the other raid things
unique bane
Alright hmm. What about regular dungeons/group content. Are they worth running before ultimates/raids?
fringe salmon
one way to gear up for raids is doing regular content to get tomestones that you trade in for gear that is best aside from the gear you then get in raids
so yes
also they started adding unreal raids, which are older Extreme trials that get scaled up to current max level
so if you did Titan Extreme at 50, the unreal version would be 90 now, similar fight just scaled up
unique bane
kk, ty. Doesn't sound like there's any open world stuff or raid dungeons. Only trials? Or maybe I understood wrong 😄
fringe salmon
current plans is they get a roadmap from their server guys in mid january so around that we probably know when free trial and game sales resume lmao
unique bane
Hehe alright, I guess I could just buy a sub?
fringe salmon
uhhh if you use an existing account I think so
I just know trial accounts and new game editions are stopped, even retail version sales are being stopped
idk about an existing account that is not subbed atm
unique bane
ahh
I feel like if I sub and slog thru the story in the end there won't be enough group/open world content for me. There used to be world bosses, wonder if those exist?
fringe salmon
ah yes, forgot about hunt trains and s ranks
there are the fate evens and some have a chance to trigger a specific world boss and you need those to get a mount or gear piece for looks etc.
S ranks are the world bosses you mean they are always actively done, there are discords where people organise hunt groups etc.
unique bane
those sound fun atleast
fringe salmon
then for a challenge in the current special areas to farm your relic weapon there are also 1v1s duels with strong npcs that you can do for some titles and I think a mount
and the stormblood area for the relic quest I havent had time to do yet lmao
uses its own level system so you can do it characters over or under the expansion level
with also a hard dungeon at the end where you only get something if you dont fail at the last boss regardless if your group beats it or not iirc
oh forgot one other things
palace of the dead/heaven on high
dungeons with floor 1-200/1-100
you start lv 1 with a party size of 1-4
there are titles you can earn if you go 1-100 or 1-200 alone and one death means run is over
fringe salmon
raids coming out on tuesday and hard version in two weeks
ultimates I did not get to yet but did do the hard raids last expansion

Guessing in two or three years series s will be essentially what the original Xbox one is
They should have given it better hardware
young hill
....
Sure
But this generation needs to last a while
They can kill of the series s eventually fine
fading spade
surely they dont want the console to be purely used for GamePass??!
young hill
Well may eventually come to that
Storage at 512gb
With I think maximum of 2tb expansion
Eventually it will run out of space
Then they could reconfigure the series s
Sell it maybe even for $100-$200
With less storage
But targeted for gamepass
With xcloud
Would at the very least make up for performance
Stock could also be more widely available
young hill
I think they're betting on xCloud for it in the future
Good thought, honestly wrote that off as mobile and pc territory
trim rock
We're finally gonna see the true power of the cloud that was hyped up so much when the Xbone was new

M16 getting 88FPS?

In no universe does that make any sense. Even assuming the obviously botched to hell chart is right then the 5 grand the M1 Max is worth just... doesn't outcompete better performance in everything for half the price.
Uber kek.
fringe salmon
I dont understand why it says m16 instead of the specs, bit of a scuffed graph

If we assume the M16 they used is the 3070 variant, which costs about half the price of a standard M1 Max then it's kinda crazy tier.

beating an rtx 3060 in some games...

Are we sure they aren't comparing it to the built-in iGPU of whatever the hell M16 uses?

Technically yes, but realistically no.
There's just not much use in actually buying one since the price to performance is fucking abysmal.
unborn spruce
Eh.
It gets beaten out really damn easily.
Honestly it's just the music guys that'd get happy about the M1 max chips, it doesn't make sense for anybody else.
bleak pike
Yes but nothing else comes close to apples design, battery life, noise levels and osx is good for developers.
unborn spruce
And even then 90% of that industry doesn't care because everybody keeps using DSP chips for some reason.
bleak pike
It's a bit overpriced but it's not terrible
You'd be surprised how many devs use macs 
unborn spruce
Dude, if you're a developer you can make a better IDE by yourself.
Or use Atom and modify the flying fuck out of it.
bleak pike
Atom sucks
unborn spruce
Until you modify the flying fuck out of it, yes.
Generally you end up keeping about 10% of the program, everything else can fuck off.
bleak pike
But anyway I'm not really on about software
Just saying a lot of dev is done on osx for some reason
fringe salmon
because of a nice screen and good to use OS
unborn spruce
shrugs Probably because click and go is both basic and requires little to no prep.
fringe salmon
not because of hardware
unborn spruce
Like if Apple allowed OSx on other hardware it'd be hilarious high adoption since Apple designs shitty hardware all the time.

Anyway I'd love an M1 if I wasn't paying for one

I don't think an S tier MMO exists, but FFXIV is in a tier of its own for sure. No way anything else is allowed in A if it's in there
make a+ just for ffxiv
barren pewter
It is solid A tier though
Just as shitty as the others, but not as shitty as those in lower tier
I assume anything put in S tier is actually worth playing
devout pelican
It's good, but not good enough to be in a tier by itself.
A+ would be for the manner in which it's run and the consistency of output. There isn't an S tier because it's not "that much better", but it is definitely significantly better than anything else in A tier due to general business practices and the trust the playerbase is actually capable of having in the ffxiv team
unborn spruce
Oof, you're...

I don't even have plans to play it as an mmorpg myself, but it's clearly a step ahead in the ways that matter for a consistently-maintained live service game

I was not. I have been in a dark hole playing Tactical Nexus for months on end and only kept up on ffxiv and wow because I am in discords with ffxiv players and I was a former WoW player

and I never said quantity of content. I said consistency.
entirely different metrics
ffxiv consistently holds to or exceeds the standard set/expected of the game outside of server capacity

Yeah that's a rabbit hole argument I'm not going down.
Not thx.
Been there before, it ends in nothing.
devout pelican
as far as I know gw2 has also been good about that, although I didn't like the way the game played and I don't talk with a lot of gw2 players

GW2 has been doing living worlds for almost a decade with major DLCs occasionally.

novel umbra
gw1 is a dead game
while it is not bad
you will struggle to be able to put together one party
devout pelican
it's also not really an mmorpg as you'd expect an mmorpg. It's basically a small party discord game now and while it was nice to interact with other players and especially to pvp it has that same thing where as an rpg it is a solid game alone. Idk how much it should count into an mmorpg list, but it never really was that except in theoretical player count either.

devout pelican
the most recent way to refer to "any game which has a small core playerbase which huddles in one place"
devout pelican
because matchmaking can't support it

it's not just "fun with your mates", but "a game which has enough people to play, but you won't find them via normal ingame methods"

I didn't get too far into warframe, but doesn't jumping correctly just mean you have the basic mechanical skill required to chain bullet jumps across terrain? there was also that one hammer air swing that I could use on massive downhills due to the gradual trajectory.
novel umbra
no
you can be really fast with learning how to move correctly
without using any mods on movement
unborn spruce
I didn't get too far into warframe, but doesn't jumping correctly just mean you ...
Jumping correctly means you have all the mobility to move fast and once you can move fast you can melee fast.
unborn spruce
Literally learn to jump and you can spec Dual Zorens and all of a sudden have stupid ass damage.

ah, I kind of get what you mean although I'd have to play the game again to get the feel. I was a gunboats only kind of soldier player in tf2 so I had to get used to high control movement via rocketjumping. I'm just pretty sure I never played with a good player in a high movement mission because I was in the first 4 planets so I don't really have much to judge against.
trim rock
Eh I'm actually not the biggest fan of the zoomzoom gotta go fast everywhere, which is why I was glad that ||THE NEW WAR mostly didn't let you do that||

dying light 2 is getting a censored german version
Well why would you even consider the German version ?
novel umbra
maybe because you live in germany?
that is the only version you can easily get
sometimes other versions get locked out via IP even
not the case with this, so far at least
zinc stag
maybe because you live in germany?
I have the same problem but in most cases the German version is not worth it
novel umbra
ye
trim rock
Oh yay can't wait to see how heavily censored it is, zombies gonna be robots?
novel umbra
nah
just boring stuff
can't kill friendly NPCs
and can't cut up humanoid bodies
both things that were perfectly fine in other games a decade ago
fossil solar
Ehh
zinc stag
Oh yay can't wait to see how heavily censored it is, zombies gonna be robots?
worst censor i played was bulletstorm by far
characters were talking about the horrors they saw and the room was clean like someone just cleand it, not even a single dust particle visable
trim rock
It was so horrifying they just had to clean it up completely
zinc stag
It was so horrifying they just had to clean it up completely
not really played it with a mod to remove the censor and it wasn't soo bad
also i don't understand why they keep censoring games that are 18+, it's not like kids should even see the game
fringe salmon
because it limits where/when/how they can advertise the game and sell it
they could still sell it uncensored and people coudl play it but they couldn't run ads how they want including steam front page etc.
orchid prism
Used to be that in places like the US, if a game got an 18 rating stores like Walmart either wouldn't shelf them and only sell when asked about them, or not stock them at all.
This was pretty harmful to your profit in the days of disc games (especially for consoles), so you'd have to do a lot of self-censor to stay riiiiight below the limit.
zinc stag
good thing i can still just buy a key in a different country and get the full game
orchid prism
Depends on platform.
Pretty sure Steam won't accept non-german keys for censor specific games for german registered accounts.
orchid prism
Seem to recall that being an issue for Hearts of Iron 4 players, cause Germans got a censored version that was specific to them. Couldn't buy the game elsewhere.
fringe salmon
steam hasn't been very consisten on how that works here

the biggest joke is i can buy the DYING LIGHT ULTIMATE DLC COLLECTION, BUT i can't access the dlc sites 🤣

buying it in a different country would just be equivalent to this from what i understand
orchid prism
steam hasn't been very consisten on how that works here
I think that boils down to German authorities very quickly and suddenly going "WE NEED ID OF ALL USERS - NAO! STEP TO IT" and Valve kind of did a panic hotfix nightmare and never looked back 😄
fringe salmon
nah
I think it depends on if the uncensored version was submitted and thus placed in the index or smth like that
dont remember fully bc I also dont really care that much
zinc stag
our authorities are a very weird mix of total incompedenc and ban hammer
orchid prism
dont remember fully bc I also dont really care that much
I am so glad denmark never went hard on that whole thing. They went "kids shouldn't play games above their age rating... but we're going to let parents handle that" and that was it.
I bought GTA 2 at age 10 I think. No questions asked.'

Hmm
Either compression is well optimized
Or game is less than we anticipated
But I think most From games were relatively small for the goodness inside
unborn spruce
Nah, that looks about right.
Maybe a little bit smaller, but remember that the 2 big boy file sizes are Warzone and Ark, I refuse to believe Studio Wildcard or Activision know how to compress shit anymore.

Dependencies

Some will demand a BIOS and those can region lock you if you try using the wrong ROM.
PCSX2 is a good example of that.
fading spade
Hmm.....
I'll be using the bios files that came with my device but I wanna use ArkOS on it
So I'll be dumping the bios folder into the ArkOS install
unborn spruce
shrugs So long as the BIOS allows for it you can use region free versions.
But if you have a US device BIOS and you try running Japanese ROMs that can sometimes fail.
unborn spruce
Fuck knows, I just pirate BIOSes that're good and region free my shit.
