FF14:

I spent this evening running through the level 20 guildhests on all my jobs and getting all my crafting jobs to the level 20 mark. I also found the time to hear Raubahn deliver a bullshit proto-fash speech while the Sultana of Ul'dah told the poor not to judge their wealth by money from within her literally gigantic royal palace so gently caress you lady. Also it turns out K'lyhia was abused for months but that evil pirate fucker and now she wants her spellbook back so I helped her get it back but it was destroyed and now she's bailing on everything :smith: Also also I helped the Marauders save a shitbag kid from some monster and zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now that I'm over 20 it feels like levelling is starting to slow down. I'm no longer levelling up off of one quest turn-in

this is why you equip that exp up ring! (it only counts for xp in combat though)

i think you're also at the point where you unlock daily dungeon roulettes? doing those once a day is enough to keep your leveling at a decent pace, especially if you're multi-jobbing

Yep leveling continues to slow way down as you get higher and higher. It gets to the point where you're barely getting any experience at all for quest turn ins.

This was an intentional decision post-Heavensward, where they decided to shift the vast majority of leveling EXP over to the MSQ and leave sidequests as a tool for fleshing out the world and providing a moderate amount of EXP and some bonus items if you happened to be leveling up an alt job. For the most part, you'll match the MSQ's level fairly closely throughout now as long as you occasionally do one of the daily Duty Roulettes like Leveling that provides a large chunk of EXP.

As much poo poo as the game gets, I actually liked Fallout 4 settlements and setting up vendors with shops and things like that. Are there any other games with a "settlement building", setting up an economy while I go out and bust skulls?

There was some console indie series I've forgotten about. I think you were in a castle in medieval times. The game looked sorta like a horror game but then you play it and find out it'd just a game about playing chess. Any of you remember what game this was?

I downloaded Swtor aka that star wars mmo for some reason. I have played it in the past, I even purchased the drat thing when it was released, but it's been ages since I gave it a shot. I know everyone gushes about the Agent storyline, and that is what I played last time but I had no idea what I was doing when I logged in so I created a new character. Went for the most basic character, a jedi person.

And it was a lot of fun , the story was good and there was almost no padding in terms of story and boring tasks, even the sidequests were relevant to the main story. Everything is voice acted, and it is mostly very good, but since there are so many characters, the actors just use their regular voices for the most part, so you hear a lot of Nolan North, Jennifer Hale and Tara Strong and every other early 2010s voice actor you can think of, talking to each other. It's weird to be enjoying a Star Wars product in the current year, even though that opening scrawl just makes me wince at this point.

Finished the prologue area, so now I'm guessing the freetoplay rot is about to set in, but we'll see I guess.

If you squint hard enough, it's a half decent old style bioware game. But it is an MMO at the end of the day, so the gearing and fights are pretty boring

I believe they made it so even F2P players level up fairly quickly. You might not even have to do sidequests (big difference from the F2P launch, when even the sidequests weren't enough)

I don't buy em, but I appreciate the existence of stupid, overpriced collectors edition as a way to "support the developers" in a way that does not entail any real extra work having to be done on the game.
The bad part is when all this useless garbage gets shipped back and forth across the globe, but at least since it goes to "collectors" I guess it won't immediately go to the landfill.
