    Ugh, yeah do tell. I have SEEN a fair number of them but I will be damned if I end up getting more than 1 in 3 thanks to seemingly lower roll priority to ANYTHING else that appears with them (I even kill them first just in case that some how impacts the drop chance). As to the rest of what...

    I am running legend with that combo right now... it is amazing. Even semi-trivial combos net you 12X... good matching nets you over 20X. Very fun combo in these limited color dungeons! Edit: Bast and Okun are a fun one in here too. SUPER easy 16x combo. He does not contribute to damage...

    Totally agree. I would absolutely spend some eggs on additional team slots if they made it an option. Such a PITA to have to basically blow up one of my core teams to tweak it for specific descends or runs... and I really don't have that many comps leveled enough to be viable -- can't imagine...

    Ditto Ant, though admittedly some of them still need some leveling (Just got Cu Chu in last decend for example). On a related note, I have been one king dragon away from a Shynee for more than a month.. pretty irritating how seldom light comes up as a metallic dragon option compared to dark.

    This might have been suggested already (don't feel like combing through all 10 pages) but if it hasn't, 7 Wonders is a great game. Just enough luck involved to add some randomness to the game by mostly about strategic play. Great game for 4+ people.

    I know there are some different conventions around rolling with the REM around, but I can tell you now from having just dropped more money on this thing that waiting much longer than a minute is required. What it looks like to me, is that after some period of time you are placed into a grouping...

    I ran a bit different team for Satan that worked pretty well. Valk, Zeus, Minerva, Raph, Siren, Valk. Trades off having a couple of off-color 9Xs for having a full board amplified white and 35% gravity. Pretty much obliterated Satan but the vamps cost me 3 stones (should have been 1 but I...

    Masks have never been an issue for me... Dubs though.. those bastards elude me week after week. Did not know about the 10 round thing DF.. good info! I saw him start the countdown but I assume it was hp threshold triggered since he was at ~20%ish when he started it.

    It will take a few stones with red Krassus since you are reliant on passives.. double Valk is 18X against him (due to him being dark) and I ran an all white healer team on top of that (2X Messenger and a half evolved sub Valk), double Aries is only 4x and you are forced to red/dark in your team...

    I had to eat a couple stones to get past him on Legendary. After realizing that charge skills were useless (no time to charge them up, he just comes out jamming and making life generally miserable turn 0) I basically built a glass cannon white team assuming I would be one shot on non-acid...

    Unfortunately, no Isis love here. That said, I loved the weekend event. I grinded the hell out master, which at my level could be indefinitely run since the sta cost was below the level-up thresh-hold. Which is good because otherwise my screw up with Evo'ing would have put me months away from...

    Ugh.. I really screwed the pooch on my team. Ultimate evolved all my new critters and now I need like 40 more team capacity to fit them all in. Epic. Back to Valk team for a while I guess :P

    Yeah, obviously team matters a lot. I rolled Athena without too much difficulty, but dios just brutalized me. I don't even really have a place for Dios in my teams, it was more of a 'I want them all' thing that lead me to trying him. Thanks for the info though!

    Lol, thought about throwing a few stones at Zeus today (knowing my team was underpowered to get through it)... yeah.. not going to happen. Seems rough even compared to the other mythicals I have toyed with. Is there a ranking anywhere that somewhat lays out the difficulty of the various...

    I disagree on this one. When I made it that far in normals I was no where near able to build a 9X team much less a 27X one so I was somewhat assuming he is about the same level as I was (maybe 30ish?). Couple that with being a fairly new user, matching skills are likely going to be so so as...

    Do you have a titan? Run it as a lead. Makes Hades trivial (though have to get past the trash which will be harder).

    My experience so far: I love my 9X healer team for farming (which is obviously what you do most of the time) but it really struggles on most of the 'big' events. You just can't get the hp threshhold out of one-shot range of the encounters on Mythical. You pretty much have to go 'whole-hog' and...

    Ouch.. yeah I missed that :/.. no way my current team would handle that without dropping a lot of stones on both floors 4 and 5. I will have to hit it next time it comes around I guess. Ah well.

    Looks like I am going to be running the hell out of the Tri-color this weekend to level up. I can build a team that is Zues capable now (as in not requiring me to throw stones at it like I did for Hera-Is....), I just don't have the team capacity to squeeze them all in without leveling up :P

    Well, I have a bunch of rolls for god-fest see if I can get an AA Luci, though I REALLY friggin hate the slow grind of luci builds. I far prefer the play style of my valk team, but there are just some bosses that are guaranteed to cost you stones with the low hit-points of double valk teams...

    Shadowbane Emulator opening this weekend for a week

    I am stoked to try this if for no other reason than the memories it will bring back. I LOVED this MMO back in the day -- it was ultimately the reason I left Everquest. The sb.exe errors coupled with constant crashes during sieges though just got to be too much though.

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Oh wow, yeah. That line brought back an amazing PVP memory for me of the AQ gate opening on my server. I was in a small but very solid horde pvp guild on Twisting Nether at the time and we got wind that the two best raid guilds (both Alliance, both large) were going to open AQ that night so we...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    Sarth+3, 10m was probably the most challenging and rewarding pve experience I have done though I enjoyed Ulduar a lot more. Did some raiding in EQ, but we weren't a great guild (Tunare was our 'crowning achievement') and frankly I found herding the cats for EQs large raids more frustration than...

    Yeah, it relies heavily on quest hubs. It has a lot of discovery quests from exploring as well as path quests which give it a bit of variety, but it is not likely for you Lasch. You could obviously grind to cap or instance to cap once you reach 20, both are viable and comparable to questing in...

    Speaking of mods, it will be very interesting to see how 'open' they are to user developed mods. I really enjoyed the UI mini-game in WoW and dropped a lot of hours making it 'just right' but I would hate for another decursive debacle or for UI tweaks to be essentially required in order to be...

    Best PC RPGS of the last decade

    I liked it because it is one of the few games that was actually a challenge. On the hardest level, it was BRUTAL. Most games, especially recent rpg/action rpgs cater to to the lowest common denominator and even on 'hard' there is no real challenge. I love a game that I need to work through...

    This is exactly the issue I have with F2P model as well (in addition to how much of a pain in the ass it generally is). Essentially by introducing that mechanism into the game, you are providing the bean - counters in the back office a 'lever' to pull whenever they want to increase/decrease...

    I think you are under-estimate the affluence of the 'average' MMO player (read: Non-bnet kiddie) that a vanilla-wow difficulty game like WildStar game targets. Most of us are 25-45 years old, employed and would (or at least my friends and I would) much prefer not having to deal with cash-stop...
