    Spring 2013 Anime Thread

    They didn't know that the ocean adapation would work to survive the cataclysm at that time - the tech faction were allegedly going to piss off through the gate and blow it up once they left, leaving them all trapped on earth to be potentially wiped out. Not exactly angels, but it wasn't entirely...

    Went with red/white minerva, blue odin, green odin, amaterasu, hades and amaterasu. Was pretty straightforward but very slow, I won't be farming this one I think. Horus/Minerva *might* work but I had some pretty sketchy runs of heart orbs during the boss that would have sunk that team, so it...

    Yeah pretty much, it's talking about fitting it onto a 50GB blu-ray though. 4 disks with swapping isn't really a good experience for movie watching.

    You'd lose your money in this case. I do regret upgrading it though - the start screen is an abomination, as is the minimum level of protection requiring you to approve programs writing to ini files in their installed directory - I'm not even going to mention the default levels.

    I rate a solid 'meh'. It's ok, it's just missing so much depth and polish, after a few hours I don't really have an desire to play more. Will probably do so at some point, but just not feeling it currently.

    That usually means something has gone wrong with the permissions on the PAD folder. Is your device rooted ? If so just copy your data48 and data56 files out, reinstall it and then copy them back is probably the quickest way to sort it out.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    It is, but in a good way for hex - pre 95 patents are only valid for 17 years, not 20. Patents haven't quite run as ludicrously out of control as copyrights have. Reading that patent is a bit sad though - it goes into a huge amount of detail, shows clearly where it is innovating - and...

    Most people who say they are using shiva don't mean they are doing a high hp mono red team ;p Divines can be as low as 3 on the starting swing timer too - turn 2, no skills up, few orbs of your correct color is pretty ugly for most teams.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Neither does Hex. It's colorless generic mana with 'threshhold', or minimum amounts. Scrolls doesn't sacrifice for generic energy either, it sacrifices for a specific color which can be only used on cards of that color. That's random quibbling though, Hex is alike enough to MTG that any...

    Scrolls

    Be ruthless in sacrificing cards for two new cards, especially shit like poison aura. You don't have to keep all your totems alive, so focusing defense on 3 of them will still get you the win. One of the benefits of growth is that if he has a super buff creature that is going to rip you a new...

    He's not right at all. Hera-is and Zeus-dios were just added to the JP side to provide challenge for the people who have been farming since release. They are also limited dungeons that rarely show up. Complaining you can't farm them the first time they show up is first world problems to a...

    Having one of green odin or amaterasu can be very useful for working your way up to good teams. If you had to pick one god though, I'd take one of the greek or norse r/g/b gods or parvati. They let you cover the vast majority of dungeons easily, only leaving out things like valkyrie and zeus...

    I don't actually use it, but I'm not aware of Steam's offline mode having a 'heartbeat' - as far as I know, you set it up once per game and it stays like that permanently.

    I'm not sure they have any choice - great wolf, ragged wolf, brother of wolves and mangy wolf make up most of the starter deck. I went growth as well and I have bought 4 of the 10 packs and still don't have any kind of customization I can do on the deck. I have 60 growth cards now, but that is...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    You can't buy PVE cards, so I'd assume the drop rates from pve would be relatively generous to avoid burnout. The way they have it set up is each dungeon/raid having it's own loot table, so should be decent opportunity for variety. There's no info on how many PVE drops there are from a given...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Absolutely - it was totally the 'right' or 'good' thing to do - it was not, however, the 'lawful' thing to do. That's pretty much Ned Stark all the way - he does what he thinks is the right thing, regardless of whether it fits his code of honor - like lying about being a traitor to protect his...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Mm, maybe - you can farm pve cards and trade/sell them for pvp ones. I expect that to likely be a better way of getting more pvp cards than any of the other $250 bonus, exluding pro of course, although even pro in the first year ( given DC gets free draft as well for the 1st year ). Given the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Alignment charts are almost always terrible*, and I realise that's the point - but Ned Stark led a rebellion and civil war in the name of personal vengeance and set up one of his buddies as a pretender king. He's also a liar and an oathbreaker. He'd be lucky to qualify for neutral good, lawful...

    Good sci-fi/horror books?

    It's not exactly a common genre, most horror being supernatural in nature, it makes for an odd fit with sci fi. Blindsight is the only one that sprang to mind immediately. There's a few others that could be argued such as: The Atrocity Archives, Charles Stross The Doomsday Book, Connie...

    After a five hour game, I can say no, they haven't fixed that problem. They also haven't fixed the problem where after playing for a while it becomes increasingly hard to target the right square in the tactical map, and the 'path' animation stops working. Juggernauts are still way...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yes, I'd imagine they are pretty close once they have equipment, but - you can only equip maybe 3 cards out of your deck, and the kickstarters won't have the equipment for the random PVP cards to start with ( other than the dungeon crawler bonus items ).

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Almost all the rewards that the higher tiers get are PVP cards. You can use them in PVE, but they are much weaker than real PVE cards, especially with no equipment. I don't think it will be a huge deal. Obviously this doesn't apply to the $5k+ deals that get a complete set of all cards, but I...
