It's been a while since I looked at Whispering Ice, but doesn't the spell itself also gain flat damage per int? Not sure if you accounted for that.

I could work with 4 months leagues, I rarely go for the 36 challenges in 3 months. But I can see how the players drop away after 6-8 weeks, so 3 months is probably better overall.

I might have had a mild stroke just now. That's one item that will never make it's way into my builds.

I would not be surprised, considering both supporter packs from last league turn out to fit the designs of Synthesis. Really seems like the supporter pack schedule is one league ahead, since these two do not share that Protoss look with the upcoming league. Next league after that is PoE: Dark...

Not going to lie, if the first sold hideout is in any shape cool looking I grab it.

And here I am just wanting the pirate outfit without the skeleton/ghost shit tucked underneath. In other news, Winter Orb is getting boring, too much like BV and I dislike keeping those stacks going. Might switch to another character before my casual ass even hits maps.

I'm not playing nearly as much as the regulars here and went MS twice in the last year, both times it did fine without perfect setups (no great helm enchant for one). So I'm sure for getting your feet wet in a first full league it will work out for you. In Delve I did MS with Gladiator, a block...

I've been using GOG whenever possible for a while now, no idea whether that platform is really established though.

D3 style was not that bad. Graphics were still a weak spot though. The game appears decent if you are taking in the whole screen. But if you look closer at something specific it does look like shit, the textures are very basic. Easily worse than WoW from the same time, which simply shouldn't be...

I would not even say that. As far as you can say that about the setting, magic and demons and all, D2 paints a world and believable characters within that world. D3 traded that away for saturday morning cartoon villains based on a lesson that Blizzard believes to have learned from early WoW...

I would probably play a prettier PoE that sacrificed some depth, but I doubt Blizzard could even manage to make that.

Supporter packs come with points for the store. If you are going to buy any stash tabs, imo you should be a supporter pack to get some MTX on the side. Seeker pack is pretty decent and not as over the top as most of the supporter pack armors. It already clocks in at around $60 I think but keep...

I'm thinking that "all in" would be a pretty ballsy move, considering the Korean feedback about the developer.

That article also quoted directly selling relics. That could go south real quick if they have a different definition of the point where a convenience sale switches to being pay to win.

"melee" ... chances are the actual melee part is shit and just a trigger for the real damage, which comes from a secondary projectile, aoe or whatever. I'd guess for someone in the industry it should be possible to snatch up the name of an upcoming title, especially one not made in-house by...

I did not catch the entire argument, but I think PoE does give you the choice to manage skills, most people are simply happy with fewer choices to manage. These games are inherently grindy, so people like to autopilot. The last few leagues especially allowed you to use several skills without...

They keep repeating that they are working on multiple Diablo projects, alright. Diablo mobile, Hearthstone rip-off, first person pvp moba game, dungeon keeper lite for mobile. Boom, four Diablo projects but nothing anyone wants. If they had any intention to make a D4 in the next 5 years they...

I did some rerolls on an EMU called LD player to circumvent the repeated downloads. You do one install, patch, play tutorial and go through the pulls and then manually delete the account-related files (don't remember which, saw it on reddit). After that you have a blank but fully installed copy...

Did you always delve downwards, or use a lot of sulphite for horizontal exploration? If you are way past lvl90 and always went down you should be deeper than you are.

From reading that reddit thread I get the impression that it only applies to delve-related additions to the game. That wouldn't matter for crystal belts, pure coincidence.

Are you saying I could play a champion and use SRS as main skill, and do better than yellow maps? I might have to look that up.

I'm pretty hyped for the masters rework, I hope they not only add those three but also expand on the other existing masters like they did with Zana. Also, new biomes for hideouts!

That coffin has been buried for a while now. If anything, it'll be pseudo-MMO like @Pyros called it above, and mostly instance the relevant content.

Who is that and would his involvement be good or bad?

I think an AH in the form of D3 or various MMOs would be terrible for the game in the long run. They had a manifesto at some point about how they see trade, was pretty interesting to read. They considering searching for items too easy now, and the only obstacle now is the human factor in the...

I have to say, after 3 consecutive leagues with a block build, not using one feels fucking squishy. I actually feel like I could use more armor since outside of flask it's really low and massed small to medium hits hurt more than I expected. Not sure if that's worth pursuing though, or how to go...

This sounds exactly like the kind of shit idea Blizzard will come up with for D4.

Was a nerf of some kind brought up? I was looking at molten strike chieftain for this league.

I don't like this at all. We'll see how it plays out, but I don't really see the positive side (steady cash influx) outweighting the negative (beholden to their Chinese overlords). I would not mind if Chris drops the hammer in 3 months and has the entire company quit, reform as a new company and...

Right now, Seeker pack from War of the Atlas is pretty neat and easily mixed with other stuff. I tend to buy the first 2 or so tiers only since the big packs past 100 bucks just look ridiculous. Minotaur, Legacy and Outlaw are the ones I use most. The league-specific packs are hit and miss with...

I'm still in mediums and lights and took on a difficulty 3 mission. With hindsight, that was a bad idea. After realizing I was in way over my head pretty quickly I decided to tap out early, and as it turns out all you lose is some reputation and you are out the mission instantly? I even got to...

If you filter out the references to Smedley, this is what's left. Are you sure you are not blaming the devs? If you want to put the blame on the middle management that kept pushing their pet projects, you should not include lines like the second half of that quote.

They go to great length to ensure that the supporter packs capture the spirit and feel of the league.

That's what a Russian would say, which makes it even more hilarious.

A vampire game wouldn't normally get my interest, but after playing Life is Strange I'll give it a fair shot. Probably going to wait for a steam sale though.

I don't doubt that it will "flop" compared to the expectations. I'm not even sure if I will check it out. But I doubt I'll be playing more than 2-3 months of BfA either, over the 2ish year life of the xpac. And I do have the gaming time. You are also right that it's the best MMO (that or EVE)...

So is this ship sinking or what?

That sounds like we're in for a well-tested and balanced environment come next week!

I haven't seen it in action yet actually, stuck at work. But I have not used any character effect so far, they' been pretty meh. The manticore armor looks great from the still shot, will decide after the video.

Funny, Abyss is the first supporter pack I'm skipping for like years, they do nothing for me. I'll probably get the Manticore pack.
