Hey folks. If anyone on PC is returning to the game for Warlords of New York, one of the original clans from this thread has room! Clan name is Police State, tag [COP]. It's not super active or anything, don't expect to get a clan raid group going (at least speaking from experience with the first raid, maybe things will be different this time) but we're almost max level so it's a good home for access to clan vendor and clan bounties.

@rorie She unlocks as part of the Theatre settlement upgrading. Look for missions on the map that explicitly say they upgrade Theatre. I think the order is Crafting lady > Dark Zone lady > Clan lady > Shooting Range guy

Patrick was forged in the fires of Spelunky dailies. I'm not surprised he's rockin' Dead Cells. I think if you cast a wider net of games, Dan's got him beat pound for pound. He's got the "sports gene" but for video games. You can't teach that.

As an aside, I'd love to see more games industry crossover competitions, similar to IGN vs Kinda Funny in Mario Tennis. Waypoint vs GB in various things would be DOPE

@alistercat Whoa I think that totally did it. Thanks! I seem to be hovering around 55 fps now so far, which is much improved over what it was before.

Also I don't think the game much appreciates borderless windowed. Even with this change, going to my other monitor a couple times cut the frames in half when I returned, like it doesn't recognize that it's the active window again.

Hey duders,

Picked this game up on Steam the other day and so far I'm really enjoying it! ...but it runs like total ass? I've got a 6gb 1060 video card and i7-2600K 3.4 ghz cpu. With the game's default settings, while I'm exploring my starting planet's surface I can't break 30 fps. It's better in space, getting into upper 40s, but still seems kinda ridiculous for a two-year old game. I toggled some of the textures 'n shadows 'n such, but strangely enough it only seemed to get worse on lower settings. Anyone got any tips on how to get this thing approaching 60 frames? Am I just unlucky and started on some perf-destroying starting planet (it's a hot, barren one with little vegetation and no water)? Thanks!

Don't do the story skip. Tell your friend to can it and be patient because rushing through the game to try to get current endgame will just make you hate it.

If you're lvl 19 and haven't even done first dungeon yet, you're well on your way to being super over-leveled. Ignore any sidequests that aren't a + icon. Save those for alternate jobs later. Do the + icon ones tho because they are quests that unlock content. Rush through MSQ as fast as possible so you can get your mount. Getting to the dungeons will liven things up for you again, but there's still plenty of fetch quest-y slog on the way. Stick with it! It'll be worth it when your job starts to require brain cells to fight and the story starts to ramp up.

People feel like since they're paying a monthly sub they gotta rush through MMOs to get their money's worth and then they get to endgame and get bored and quit. Enjoy it. Take the time to talk to non-quest NPCs. Walk next to unnamed NPCs to see what flavor chat bubbles pop up.

I too enjoy Quick Looks the most of all their content and if I had my druthers there'd be a new one every day, but here's my hot take: some vocal segment of this community ruined it by continuously demanding "informed" quick looks and now the crew can't just be like "what the hell is this thing that just showed up? Hell if I know, let's fire it up!" I was so frustrated how long it took them to get the Battletech and Frostpunk QLs out, but after watching both of them I realized how obvious it was that both Vinny and Alex felt like they had to have a solid grasp on how the game worked before they could show it. And they're not gonna spend that time on mediocre games that no one's ever heard of or care about. The comment numbers on some of these QLs speak for themselves.

FF14 is my favorite MMO and I've played dang-near every Western one since Everquest. It's great.

FAIR WARNING: The beginning is mind-numbingly slow, both narratively and mechanically. Power through, get into your 30s. Eventually the narrative will start to mesh and you'll get to hit more than 3 buttons in combat. If you manage to make it to Heavensward content...best story of any MMO hands down.

Let us know what server you're on, if you're on my datacenter I'd be glad to help you with dungeon content. I'm not playing actively right now but I stay subscribed so can always hop on. Holler if you need advice! MMOs can be overwhelming to new players.

I'm so happy to see all the XIV love here. It really is remarkable how strong the soundtrack is, and that's coming from a diehard fan of the rest of the series' music. Plus it even includes some great remastered tunes from previous games, like Terra's Theme, Clash on the Big Bridge, Dancing Mad, etc.

Discounting that, it's probably a tossup between 6 and 7. Cosmo Canyon or Slam Shuffle is like Sophie's Choice.

Just ragequit a 3-skull mission that had reinforcements spawn in on my flank before I even fired first volley, consisting of a 3 Jagermechs and a sensor locking tank. My LRM boat took 90 LRMs to the side before I could see them or even move. Very tempted to just avoid all Battle missions from here on out. They're bullshit.
