I generally like their games, only one I did not care to finish was GoT. Although I think they should have gone with entirely different characters for each walking dead season. S2 felt a bit forced at times. Have not tried 3 yet since I buy the bundle later.

That has been heavily implied the last time, too. You don't bring in the dough on a MTG game using the Hearthstone model if you state upfront that you are going to stop releasing new sets within 2 years (aka Magic duels). I was really itching for an online MTG game in the vein of Hearthstone...

So, I really liked playing a build with high block and Aegis Aurora this last league. I also kinda want to start a SRS build this weekend on the new leaque. Is it completely dumb to even try to combine that, or just somewhat dumb?

They did that? I guess I haven't tried to buy a shaper this league.

The best supporter pack skins in recent history were Atlas of Worlds imo. I bought Hydra back then and was considering going higher. For this one I'll stick with $60, same as the 3.0 supporter packs.

I'm expecting a new zone per LS release, same as last season. The same content, too, really. About half a dozen instanced story steps with open world tasks wedged between them, and they'll probably throw in a bit of a grind for cosmetics and some new stat combos.

I wrote in for a full refund around the end of August. It was easy and without any obstacles from their side. They had me provide a scan of my ID since I was using a different paypal account than at the time I backed all those years ago, but that was all. Took about two weeks my first e-mail...

After playing this for a couple of days, I have to say it feels MUCH better then HoT. The dwarf ruins were my personal highlight. Getting there I expected a small JP and a point of interest at best. Turns out to be a real mini-dungeon. If it were just me, they could add stuff like that all over...

They are no longer supporting dungeon content and consider fractals a full replacement. So no, not going to happen.

I cannot start the prologue for the expansion because the first instance where you meet Kiel does not load. It's either a minute-long loading screen followed by a crash or it gives an error and doesn't even start to load. So I check their forums for a solution and find this gem in the known...

The real cash wasn't the problem with D3's auction house, the limited and shortsighted item design was. It would've been just as shitty with just a gold AH. Actually since I never touched the RMT part it was just a gold AH for me, and it was still a thousand times better to play the AH and not...

This is really the key comment here. If you're on the fence, buy game 2 to see if you like Total War gameplay. But if you do, even if it is expensive, this game is totally worth the money. They know that and rake it in, but at least they're delivering a game that's great on all fronts and not...

The season 3 zones are just better than HoT zones. HoT was just pushing their verticality movement gimmicks to 11 and it was no fun, they dialed it down to acceptable levels on all season 3 maps.

I agree, but that's not gonna be the stance GGG takes on it. Standard is probably the reason they havent shuffled around the Atlas in the past - I hope they found a way to do it with that upcoming winter expansion.

I don't mean changing the actual map levels is an issue - should be trivial. I mean the Atlas of Worlds itself - the placements, tiers, and connections. They migrate that to standard, and if league and an entirely different layout, they would have to figure out how to approach that. And with...

I haven't touched standard for years, but I assume that would cause issues with migrating stuff. I do like the idea, but implementation of an approach they deem fair to all users, new and old, might be difficult.

I picked sunder gladiator with shield and max block for this league and after getting to early maps I'm just not feeling it. After playing squishy rangers and witches for the last leagues, a block build is pretty relaxing. However, I don't really enjoy the sunder gameplay.

Absolutely - I didn't play that many MMOs but neither WoW nor TOR needed mounts for mobility reasons - they're nice to have for shaving off a minute here and there, is all. But I'm the kinda player that prefers non-flying to flying in WoW, so probably a tiny minority. In WoW they are also great...

I could rag about digital WotC products all day, but in the end they're successfully charging MSRP with a barebones shitty client that's always a decade behind actual online games. Gotta be like printing the money. Sure Hearthstone makes a magnitude more, but for a side project that they don't...

Still don't see a *need* for them from that example (did world completion before gliding). They're nice to have for old content, that's all. Obviously they'll be required for the expansion since it is build around them. At any rate, more features are always welcome. I wish they would add more...

Yea I don't feel like this game *needed* mounts, there's a waypoint around every corner. However I think it's great that they are finally adding them. Should've done it a long time ago, if only for a cosmetic effect. I do hope that they add a wide selection of skins and more mount types with...

Is Cyclone in a good shape with the 3.0 changes? I remember the video about improved collision that they showed like months ago, but have no idea if the skill itself is viable after the patch.

Season 2 sets the stage for the expansion so if you don't have HoT getting that brings you up to speed on the story before Hot and keeps you occupied for a day, longer if you like doing achievements. Same for living story season 3, gaps the time between HoT and PoF. I'd say worth it but I have a...

Gotta say this league I might just be fine with half-arsing the challenges, the cosmetics for 24 and 36 are fucking ugly.

The only thing keeping me from SSF would be the challenges, because I like collecting that stuff. SSF I would never get past 24 with the amount of time I'm willing/able to put into PoE in the 3 months window a league has. Hell, I only managed 24 in legacy and this league ran a good deal longer...

I'm fine with the API and poe.trade. I just want to set up a vendor that people visit in my hideout (while I'm online) and pick up my buyout offers, without janking me out of the map all the time. It would be a slight nudge towards ease of use, but still requires some effort on part of the...

This league I mainly played SRS with tons of aura support through reserving life away (first time I had to buy a Shav). Any idea how the baron version compares to that on survival and damage/clearspeed?

Is there any word on patch notes yet? With the huge changes coming, I'm not even going to bother with picking a build before they release the "final" notes.

This thread isn't entertaining anymore, with nobody sticking up for SC. If that is representative of the rest of the internet, SC might go out with a whimper instead of a bang.

Blink arrows feels similar to lightning warp during actual play. I would slot that, if only for bridging gaps.

Well there has to be an underpowered set or two that they can double the dmg multiplier on, how else are they going to one-up themselves in the winter patch?

Historically, WotC has been shit about anything digital or online. Their chosen partner is no better. I'd love a good MTG video game - this won't be it.

Mad props to them for skipping right to the swimming in cash part. History is written by the winners, as in, after this burns up they write a book about it and make even more money off it.

The drunk version is just you paraphrasing 'Designer relics ruined our lands' over and over.

While I don't mind the lab, that argument is hollow in light of the 3.0 changes where you no longer have to go through three difficulties of identical zone progression.

Depends on how mounts work really. I would go with something not or barely faster then running with speed boosts, but cannot be snared or dismounted by regular attacks, just specific abilities meant to do so. Also, making world completion super easy is probably not something they need to worry...

I wonder if they learned anything from their first expansion. I might buy another expansion if they get back to a feeling of exploration and discovery. HoT was a total flop as far as I'm concerned.

The game definitely has a learning curve when it comes to knowledge about the game mechanics and your options and choices. It's actually one of the things I like about it. Not to wake that old ghost but it's more like classic EQ in that regard, while D3 is like SWTOR, entirely on rails. I assume...

I prefer PoE leagues to D3 seasons. I do play both, but PoE holds my attention for a good month+ each league while D3 is lucky to manage a week. It doesn't help that they force those awful set dungeons on you halfway through the journey, I usually just call it a season at that step instead...
