Anyone who played SWTOR and literally any other MMO ever made knows exactly what Ut has been talking about when it comes to the hero engine and the awful animation/GCD syncing issues (that they still have not fixed in SWTOR.) Go peddle your shit somewhere else, maybe try somewhere they aren't...

Yeah it is lazy, but the only reason games make shit like that in the first place is for the console versions, they just throw it in on PC cause why not.

The main problem is the ~2 second respawn. A full squad of smart players will almost never get wiped, by the time you get to the third or forth guy the rest are already respawning on the survivors. I fully expect the respawn timer to be increased for that game mode. I keep hoping each...

Versus the educated vets that just turned up gamma?

No.

Last time I played you need mods to truly capture systems and make them yours. You are right the game is tedious. I usually try to make a huge sector conquering fleet too. You need two things really, a fuckload of money and the right production capabilities to outfit all of your ships. The...

Where can I watch the matches other than in game. Google is turning up only shit from last year.

So I started playing again, fired up my 3 accounts that I haven't played since 2007. Been playing for about a week now getting acquainted with all the changes and re-bookmarking 25+ info sites that I need to check constantly. I'm looking to join a small group based out of W-space. My 3...

What penalties? There is virtually zero difference between Prince and Diety for human players, it's all about how much the AI cheats. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ5/difficulties

You probably got gold, culture, or faith.

You can only pick each bonus once, and the unit is actually a scout so its not like you can upgrade it into a swordsman that ignores terrain movement or anything. He is a powerful civ for sure but not imbalanced.

Of course you are right, but the point was that a lot of the (bad) design decisions Blizzard has been making lately can be laid squarely on their shoulders, not an outside influence.

I'm not going to try and argue Kotick and Activision hasn't affected Blizzard, but they can't take all the blame. It's not like Blizzard is sitting there with their hands tied. Jay Wilson didn't say "oh yeah D3 real money auction house was a mistake, damn you Kotick for giving us the idea."...

It really isn't that surprising. The people that made dota what it was also went on to make the first round of dota standalone games. Once those became successful it was only a matter of time before other designers jumped on board.

Do people really think it is going to be an auction house? They have given no indication it will be anything like that, they are definitely not calling it that. It's most likely going to be the return of the vendor system that they added to villages, except it will be in safe zones and you...

Wow, keeping an eye on this.

I don't specifically care about stats per say, I mainly just want to know that there is the potential for me to not get away from games with low skill players. If there is really just 3 brackets of skill level that is not what I was hoping to hear.

Just started playing this again and had a question. Is there a hidden rating system for public matches? Haven't been able to find a solid answer on this anywhere.

Yeah it's a shame too because the new siege mechanics are actually really good.

Everyone runs at the same speed, if I am in melee range of you and every time you turn I turn just as quickly and in the same direction as you did then you will not get out of range of me and I can continue to hit you in the back. If you successfully juke me and I don't turn in the same...

Yeah SiN's activity surely dropped after Bone quit, but I was allied with you guys for all of EU, and you had a presence on NA for quite a while. Even if SiN broke up at some point a lot of the active players just went to new clans.

Looks like a pretty fast way to kill yourself on a reflect mob before you even saw it. I guess people in Default league don't care about that though.

I think you have that backwards, the big name clans (aka clans that were around during Shadowbane/UO days) did not quit in 6 months. There were a lot more clans playing other than the goons, hyperion, and themercs. Those groups leaving early on wasn't the end of the game. Who did you play...

The population will definitely plummet, but the serious clans will still be playing, just like last time. Most of those same clans played the original DF for all of EU and most of NA launches, the difference now is they have addressed some of our long term complaints with the game. The grind...

Yeah the UI has improved since the start of beta. I think half my clan is using autohotkey scripts still though because we hate the radial menu.

Oh duh I'm retarded. I played with KC in the Death alliance. Needless to say we fought once or twice

Out of curiosity what clan are you with Byr?

The most cost effective thing to do with your currency is trade with other players for good items. If you absolutely hate trading then you will probably get frustrated quickly and quit, because rolling gear is pretty terrible. The only way to roll gear that I would recommend is with...

My personal opinion is there is not enough of a difference between soloing a map and doing it with a full group for me to bother saving maps to use only with groups.

Doesn't matter, there is not another option for you once you hit higher levels. You do maps for the better xp and loot, you aren't going to go back to farm docks later on, it is a waste of time.

The difference is stealth.

I have some advice for people struggling to have a good start to the game. This is what I do for a new game and it works for me.

It should be trivial for anyone to kill every single goblin in the first year. The most important thing is keep your kingdom wealth as low as possible. You have 12 days to safely dig as deep as you want and get enough ore to craft a couple full sets of armor then just seal up your tunnels and...

Power Charges from a support gem is going to be super OP.

Uh what is the alternative? Make them drop only. It is an item find game after all what do you expect. I actually think its a bit retarded the new skills are low level quest rewards and not max level gems that are drop only like chain, gmp, elemental hit etc.

Someone posted on their forums that he was on stardate 1340 (about 4 and a half hours at normal speed) on the largest map size with 2000+ ships and playing smoothly at 4x speed still.

Sandbox, pvp, rumored permadeath system is what I heard.

This game doesn't quite have the complexity of SoTS, but the combat is significantly more fun. Big issue for me right now is the AI sucks at designing ships, so you can pretty easily get to a point where they can't do shit to your fleet. I've been playing on the hardest difficulty so they get...

4-5 GCPs per exalted, and for the wand you are looking for 5-10 exalted sounds about right. This is for hardcore, I have no idea what the economy is like in softcore.

Plays like Sins of a Solar Empire, with a bit more Civ thrown in. I'm liking it so far.
