I think its fine, to be honest, liquid needed someone to give their team any kind of personality. Additionally demon is playing support - they need some ego - they need some confidence and they need to mix it up. At worst this lasts through the TI4 qualifiers and then they split the...

There was 40-46 or something ported at the time of TI1.

What do you mean by launch? As in TI1 time when it was all invitations, or around TI3 when it was opened without an an invite?

Check the market for items you might want before you buy through the store interface, in general you'll get a discount.

I highly suggest watching a replay from your own personal perspective. It can be really eye opening to watch your camera movement, how many times you actually check on allies/enemies for their item progression, tp scrolls, regen etc.

Sweet, awesome that it already has some support to refine the experience, I hope the research time nerf is sufficient to draw games out a bit more on the large maps.

That was pretty great.

I've had a lot of issue with my crew getting demolished by the scrap gun or whatever the fuck that thing is, I haven't seen one in a store yet. I keep losing my crew long before my ship is in danger of perishing. There is a great deal more crew murdering weapons in the game.

Starladder has been quick to try and improve what they do, I'm quite certain there hasn't been a mass reschedule like what Na'VI had this season, and I doubt they foresaw this problem when allowing it. I'd be surprised if the next season for example rescheduling games will have a different...

The update really makes some awesome changes to the UI alone. Definitely worth a dust off and more play than it ever was.

Keep telling yourself, someone posted why has this game fall off the face of the earth as far as stream viewing goes, that's the conversation we've been having if you've read it. I hope this game is successful, its success doesn't impact league or dota in any meaningful way.

Its not purely subjective when 20,000-150,000 people are tuning into these pro games, if the HoTS content was superior it would garner more viewers no? Right now there is nothing to watch involving HoTS other than personalities playing it like TB/Kripp/Day9 whoever.

Yes but we are comparing the content for HoTS and Dota/League - with full on production - analysis - good camera work and the highest level of play. Just because you don't enjoy watching it doesn't mean it isn't superior content compared to what's available for HoTS currently. You aren't the...

Its not a fun game to watch compared to other games like it. And if you haven't or aren't playing it its even worse. You can watch commentated Dota 2 and League games played by pros, if you're gonna spectate a game, the content out there is much better. People spectate Diablo 3...

If you're curious just save your game and surrender get the losing screen with charts and see where you sit. Its not much, they should have a graph of some kind.

I'm pretty sure there is a graph generated at game end (victory or loss)

I set all my variables to random on the map maker for my game. The treasure setting must be set to meager - I've looted very little in the way of anything, and the shit I can make is at least as good as anything I've found - that's cool there is some op stuff you can only find (in my...

I agree with you on that, but the modern age is less about quality information and more about quantity of it. Its the individuals job to sort search and catalog information based on its relative validity and find those gems inside the junk. That's just purely a function of the internet...

Right because those reviews don't come from people who necessarily love that type of game, they come from everyone. A 70 or 80 is not a bad score for a game that has a smaller appeal. There is nothing that requires you to like a genre to review a game - that really gets crossed up in the...

Overall, considering I've only managed to play half of one large map, this game is definitely close to master of magic which also had some relatively OP high tier units that could be to be leaned on heavily. But in the case of the single player aspect of the game as a player you can...

I'm loving it, I jumped right in trying to clone my master of magic experience. I didn't touch the campaigns, whatever. I set the AI to the third difficulty, 8 players, large continents, random everything. Fire away and I wasn't disappointed at all. I like the variations on the hex...

This unlocks tomorrow - the reviews are hitting metacritic. Initial Score of 84 - looks promising. Age of Wonders III for PC Reviews - Metacritic

Why does blizzard even give a shit now without the RMAH if your character is maxed out in a week? Without trading, and without an AH it doesn't make them more money. If you grind at 70 for 100 hours, which is more time that most people spend in any game by a magnitude of 10 is it so bad if...

You can always block the medium or large camps, without those spawning the denial rate of creeps is much lower. If you're pooled a vision ward like happens often, instead of using it to block put it in a location that lets you safely see the rotations of the supports to leach as much as...

Really, you can get away offlaning with almost any hero because the most valuable resource in the offlane is xp along with not dying. If you ward the pull at like sub 4kmmr, it probably gets dewarded 5% of the time. That combined with a good block from the rax to the lane will get you at...

Thanks for the clarifications.

what are these for? the dragons and shit

They added public regional leaderboards - it bears out my fuzzy math on just how many people are actually above 5k, it really isn't many. Dota 2 - Leaderboards

Link stolen from the poster in the civ 5 thread. Figure this was worth a bump. Age of Wonders 3 Gameplay Preview LP - Part 1 - Basics Guide / Tutorial - YouTube

Age of Wonders is way more like Master of Magic than Civ. The battles are in grid battles not on the main map. Heroes have inventories and all kinds of shizzle, treasure spell research. I really hope it does it all justice.

Restart steam itself, you'll have more luck recovering your connection to the network.

What happens at 267?

Two things you need to remember, your first games are gonna be filled with players around your level unless its a smurf. This will lead to an abnormally high amount of abandoned games compared to what it really is like once you've established your account so don't fret with some...

I don't think its that much luck, it really just depends on how many combos you can pull out of whatever active board you have, if you can clean it up so the junk orbs can possibly cascade + get a 7 or a 8. It doesn't take too much to get that 10. Getting to 10 is rare for me, because I...

With the pal machine having so much more shit in general (good) getting a succubus has become my accounts Achilles's heel. I cannot loot a succubus for the fucking life of me, and I just need poison to do hera. I ran witches ball for hours early in my account life, and I've been running...

The only problem with that argument is that Dota and League are attracting new players all the time. Both games manage to be fun from newb day 1 all the way until to plat/diamond or 4/5kmmr. Its more important that you play with people at your knowledge level than anything else. If newbies...

I still think this comes down to the huge reality that they have stripped economy from the game. There is only one resource that matters, experience. Yes rotations and map awareness and all the shit that is core to a game with a minimap still exist and that's what the game will be about...

Here is the problem with this argument though. Some of the people in this thread are proposing that last hitting is merely a form or archaic tedium and make this case by comparing it to other genres of games. This is flawed because the aspects of control across the entire map of Dota or...

My biggest thing is just don't call it a moba and don't expect it to be. Its not - The map defines lol and dota as much as last hitting, the item shop and the fact that the map does not have quests or events. There is a reason they are very very close in relative design. This is...

Dota is full of people who don't know what they are doing that's the name of the game - most notably you the player. Just download and FP spectate some of your games, and watch your own camera control/last hitting. It can be eye opening just how poor some of your mechanics and awareness...
