    The combat shines in very small scale like 1 v 1, 3 v 3 type situations (though even in that, 1 guy is probably fucked instantly). The large scale stuff is a mess as it is in the majority of these games, I just want them to get Siege stuff right and at least the 20v20 Fort stuff is a bit clunky...

    I don't press any flasks but my characters are EB/Blood Magic so I don't need a mana flask. I do occasionally hit my diamond as it is "on full charges" and tougher fights it may not refresh. The adjacent flask enchant is good because you can piggyback a well rolled flask. They really should...

    15 logbooks so far. I had about 5-7 before the buff. Pro tip: bless orb them sumbitches. Rogcraft continues to be great. Each night about 4 of us have a Rog party and just mass produce 10c to 2ex rings to sell. Fun seeing who can get better rings each go.

    Ah the "oh I played it last beta" (re: August 2020) poster. Classic. It's the exact same game guys, they decided to delay it a year, then do NOTHING for that year until their release date!

    I think a lot of this is people just wanting to be sour about the state of MMOs and some of it is Ashes of Creation fanboyism, even though that game is years out. Like, this isn't the era of WOW versus NEW MMO. You can play different games and other games can be successful. Very weird shit...

    Yeah, I think MOST people at this point have pretty tempered expectations of these games. Like, I've said since alpha in here that it's not ready for an end game grind. They've even said it. But this team can fucking crank content and I believe in them enough to make SOME sort of end game...

    You can very easily level life staff/X. Grab a chunky melee like an axe or sword and board or even spear. Open with lifestaff, pew pew pew until it gets closer, throw a circle or two below you, switch and fuck it up. We had a dude heal AND tank the first dungeon with our 4 man group. He had...

    So, in previous alphas the light/medium/heavy worked like Higher elemental at the light end and higher phys at the Heavy end, but all the faction gear is 1:1 for all pieces. I didn't check too hard if that's JUST the faction gear (for PVP purposes) or if it's all gear. If so that definitely...

    The best part is the Act 1 mobs got buffed and it applies to their versions in maps. Hence the coming Goatmen nerf. Fucking Rhoas would just show up on top of your corpse because they'd get so much attack speed. The goatmen leapslam for half your health + molten core for the rest combo was...

    Oh and Expedition will probably have a guide as well. I'm not sure it's as common knowledge as it should be (took me 11 hours to read the tooltip), but the effects from the shit you blow up apply to that group of mobs and any AFTER. So you want to hit your big modifiers (currency, fully...

    Most vendors (all of them, I think) don't reset on leveling. You have to use their currency to reroll their items. Some of them actually +lvl the item types too, so at lvl 72 I was gambling ilvl80 shit. Gamblin lady is just gambling, pure D2 style. Currency guy is like a currency Ritual...

    That video isn't quite a great example of int in PVP. First dude never touched him, second few were 10 levels under him, etc. Int builds are good in PVP but for mass fuckery and MAYBE if you're attack specced with fire staff just stacking burns on people and kiting them forever. One spear boy...

    Rog is the man. If you haven't fucked with him, definitely do it. Lots of deterministic crafting to be had. Haven't felt flask nerfs too much, but definitely felt the damage nerfs as I've just gotten a 6 link. I'm also using the slam totems which kinda fucks you because you essentially use...

    So their running system is about 300% better than Alpha. There weren't TP towers. Fast travel was almost twice the cost it is now. I don't know if territory owners actually got reduced costs like they do now. Their system is basically made for you to gather on your way to/from quests. You...

    Ele hit has been retarded for years now. People were doing Ele Hit before even Betrayal. It's definitely a great softcore bossing skill. Stack +gem levels and then win. I believe totem version is one of the best varieties for extra dps. I used to use Ascendant Chieftain/Slayer melee with...

    When you hit Brightwood and beyond, you're not fighting skeletons and wolves and pirates anymore.

    Pro tip: Set up camps. Camps allow you to craft stuff: arrows, food, shit tools. BUT the saving grace is you can 'bind' there. So that means you can cheat fast travel by basically suiciding (Game Menu--Respawn) back and forth between town and camps. You'll get a hit to durability, but that...

    Yeah, I 100% understand that. But there's some builds that ALWAYS clear. ALWAYS boss. And they're gearing is incredibly easy and require no god cluster jewels or chase uniques. Chieftain Cyclone, Summoner ANYTHING, Bleed Block Glad anything, etc. A lot of it isn't "I can't kill Maven, how...

    A lot of the issues with the community is some of these systems aren't meant to be mandatory. They're supposed to be rewarding if you just keep playing, but the playerbase has warped it to "grind this ASAP". The Maven shit for example is just an example of bonuses you got for running the same...

    For healing, make sure to go into settings--> Gameplay---> Enable sticky targeting. Then there's a lot of options. I like the camera aim one or the mousewheel through groupmates one. Makes healing a LOT easier for those spells that need to be locked onto someone tightly. Honestly...

    Enduring mana flasks being returned to their former self (albeit less mana) will be very helpful. They originally came out when they nerfed all the mana leech from shit like Warlord's mark and shit. And now without curse immunity you can probably roll some other helpful stuff on there. A lot...

    SST was bleed 90% of the time. Gladiator SST with big bleeds. I played a SST character to fuck around with at the end of last league and when I checked PoE ninja it was something like 9/10 SST people were big bleeds and 1 guy was impale. All their damage for their gear was very underwhelming...

    It's weird that foreigners call it a burger because it's a "hamburger bun" because you put it on hamburgers. And hamburgers are ground meat patties. It's like if I put some lobster roll together on a hotdog bun, that shit ain't a hotdog. You tell some one you're eating a lobster hot dog and...

    Honestly if they pull the Blizzard Classic*TM and just start lifting the best features from other MMOs and slapping that shit into this game I think it'd be more than enough. Throw some timed dungeons with leaderboards in. Add Raids. Add contested OW bosses (think they kinda have this). Add...

    Yes. Fast until 20 then you get a dungeon, but quests slow down. However you get invasions and dungeons and better grind spots to mitigate this.

    I pretty much will be wiling to spend 40-60 bucks on a game if it gives me at least 40 hours of gameplay. Means most single player games are out, but games like these easily hit that mark. A dollar an hour or better entertainment? I'll take it.

    These notes are rough, but at least a lot of the "I WONT PLAY THIS LEAGUE PEOPLE" will actually not play this time. Corrupted blood flasks still removes corrupting blood. They just reworded it really weird. Conc path/Ice Crash totems are going to be fucking insane though. They buffed both...

    PVP is really bad at low level, by the way. Until you're deeper into weapons and have slows/cleanses you're just gonna get into a click-off with melee most likely. So don't feel too bad not flagging until later. Definitely do the non-pvp quests for your faction though and buy that lvl 15...

    This is probably the least hyped MMO for the amount of budget in it I've seen. Like, most MMOers I knew of didn't even have preorder and some didn't even knew the game existed. I've been in alpha for a while and I think the general consensus is it's a good game, but the endgame is definitely...

    I believe the act 1 revamp has more to do with AI than health. He said for instance no mob in Act 1 is faster than a naked player, but that will change. He wants smaller packs of deadlier mobs than huge packs of nothing mobs.
