TF was nice but the damage was nerfed in the naxx days.

The threat gen wasn't nerfed until sometime after BC launched tho because TF was still the best tanking weapon for all of T4.

On the other hand, gently caress Diadem. It's an awful throwback to old-school MMO design where the presence of people other than yourself and your party just means that what you're trying to do is going to become that much more of a pain in the rear end. The forced competition feels unnatural, and all this morning was this tangible sense of pure :smith: as people all across the zone were being friendly, calling out spawns and attempting to coordinate without realizing that only the first group to dive in was going to get anything. It's gonna get really ugly, really fast. People will adapt to it in some way or another, but it feels even worse than the S-rank hunts from 2.x.

Uhhh this isn't true at all, it's pretty piss easy to get enough credit to spawn a chest for your group if you aren't super late.

The top tier tomestone never becomes uncapped until a new one comes to replace it as the top tier one. Diadem is another source of i210 gear now though.

Just to let people know Diadem isn't a total replacement to upgraded eso and alex savage gear. The secondary stats are not only randomly assigned but also have a random value. My current helm may have the same dex and vit as other 210 gear but it has 16 skill speed and no other stats at all. On the otherhand you can get every single secondary stat and they all be 50+ but it's stupidly rare so don't depend on it.

Normal is probably better for grinding materia if you're REALLY lucky with winning rolls. You can get 50+ kills a run if you can convince people to just farm 3s.

New relics are upgrade-able to 255 but only if you are able to find the hidden invisible chest at 3:27am in Coil 3 that has a 0.02% chance to spawn for 17 seconds.

You jest but this is basically how all chests worked in FFXII

e: I think the Zodiac Spear chest in that game had something like a 10% chance of spawning, then a 10% chance of it containing an item and not 20 gil, then a 10% chance of it actually containing the spear. Something absurd like that

In original ff12 it was a chest in the optional section of Henne Mines (which was also on the way to Zodiark) OR you could just not open the 4 chests. They changed it in international to be a reward from hunting rares. Although they did add Seitengrate which to get is exactly what I described.

Out of curiousity, how was the latest expansion terrible? I ask as someone who hasn't played since the end of WotLK.

WoW is one of those games I get the itch to go back to every now and again (classes have variety, the gathering/crafting system is much simpler) but I don't think I could honestly go through the trouble of doing it all over again especially considering the timesink it can be.

You hit a point that is "raid or gently caress off" and you really see the lack of content that wasn't designed for 10+ people. They've done a little to make it better with Mythic 5mans and Timewalking but compared to any other expansion WoW has had it's really lacking.

Rift tried the whole damage heal thing, and learned what WoW learned with damage dealing tank-the dps players bitch about you taking their jobs and people playing the other classes of that role bitch too.

It was also fun as hell and dedicated DPS still did more damage. I miss pre-expansion Rift.
