    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I don't understand. Although, Mcdonalds don't sell sandwiches anyway. My point was that to buy a digital download of this game will cost me the equivalent of $83, or $115 for the version with all of the races. That is significantly more than other games cost (excluding some boxed CEs) and...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    So using the current exchange rate, the standard edition costs us more than the imperial edition costs you. It is very tempting to ignore this game for that alone. Why are they charging us so much more than you for the same product with no (or minimal) distribution cost?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    How much does this cost Americans? That link takes me to the British page, where the digital editions cost ?50 and ?70. ?50 for a standard digital download seems a bi steep, considering that ffxiv was less than half of that, etc. I think most AAA PC games are around ?40 at release, maybe...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    You had to group, then the mobs were easy to kill. You still had the problem of the exp to level increasing significantly, and people who were more hardcore than I also hit the problem of outlevelling the highest level mobs in the game, which made it even harder. In the end I don't think that...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    It wasn't just raiding, WoW had some genuinely hard 5 man content. At release, it could be done in up to 40 man groups (later 10 man max), but to do the quests you had to do it in a 5 man group. To give you an example, I played a healer (druid). My healer had a big slow heal and a weak heal...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    One of the big problem with 4 player groups is that >50% of players like to p[lay as dps. With a 6 man group, you would have equal queue times if 67% of people queued as damage dealers. I expect that even with 6 man groups dps would have longer queue times, but with 4 player groups I expect...

    Bollocks Tenks. Most of us can discuss without whining because we are not completely biased towards one particular race. I don't even understand how people can be so bias about races in a game as you should not have so much invested into it (the race).

    Bomber should open expand into viking (no reactor), if MC goes stargate then he can defend it and MC cannot do a colo followup. If MC does not go stargate he can add a raven and some mines, which should hold and sort of stalker all in.

    StarCraft 2

    What I am expecting to see in TvZ is the terran stays on equal bases to zerg but with additional macro orbitals. The terran does not need the extra gases and does not need to work more than 3 mineral lines at a time, but drop retention should give them spare minerals to make orbitals.

    Tenks, did you watch Leenock vs Innovation? If not, have a look. Games 2 and 3 were a masterclass of T v Z. Flash vs Parting was also very one sided ("gg super imba"). I think the skill difference between Life and Polt is huge. it's the best zerg in the world against someone who is barely...

    I would say Leenock is one of the best zerg. The others are not top tier.

    StarCraft 2

    As I have said before, I am not suggesting any balance changes yet as it will take months to see the game evolve. I am just saying it how I see it, and Flash vs Parting game 1 seems a very good example. Parting cannot attack or expand.

    StarCraft 2

    That is not how it seems to be working. The problem is not that zerg cannot defend the drops as we have seen zergs defend with mutas and it works well. The problem is that while all the zerg units are defending the terran can just keep expanding.

    I guess MC thinks phoenix openings might be the new standard against terran? Assuming he goes from oracle into phoenix again.

    StarCraft 2

    I think you are missing the point. The idea behind the play is not that the terran has to do great multitasking while the zerg or protoss just attack moves a ball of units. These are all good players with good multitasking. The reason the terran drop play is working so well is because they...

    I would like to see a lot more games. For example, I have not seen any phoenix use vs terran. Maybe it would be terrible, but would like to see it tried.

    North Korea goes full retard

    There is nothing in North Korea that the USA wants. Your country does not spend massive amounts of money invading others for the good of humanity. You do not even need the area for a regional base as you have South Korea for that. Sorry for being anti-American, but I don't like it when...

    StarCraft 2

    I would say that protoss build orders are the most complex. While protoss is not as mechanically demanding as the other races, you do need to spend some time vs the AI just practicing build orders. Your builds also need to be tweaked for each map and sometimes each spawn location. This is not...

    StarCraft 2

    I just finished the campaign. I thought the mission were disappointing compared to wings of liberty. Having a hero unit kind of spoils them. The story was not as good either and the closing cinematic was poor.

    Maybe they haven't played enough games to get promoted yet? The ladder seems very volatile at the moment and they may be promoted at any time.

    I found almost all the missions hard. I cant be bothered to sit and max out on two bases, so have just been fighting constantly and bringing troops as they spawn. Thankfully, Kerrigan can almost solo everything anyway.

    I am mostly playing protoss btw, zerg is my second race. And I still think VR's seem extremely strong against zerg. I have only played for one day though, so need to play a lot more games.

    I have a 0% win rate vs terran thus farI just have not figured anything out yet, every opener I can think of just leaves me with no workers left. I am wondering if infestors need to be buffed again. Either that or void rays need to be nerfed. Zerg does not really have a counter to void rays...

    Ah okay, I dont think of a roach max as all in, I was thinking more <10 minute stuff. Fwiw I am masters with protoss on EU, although I would not say PvZ is my best matchup. Anything <10 minutes can be identified and/or held. Roach max is more difficult for me, but not impossible. If you are...

    StarCraft 2

    Not really. I lost to loads of all ins, but after you lose to them a few times you figure out what to look for and how to stop them. Opening Nexus first, forge gate pylon, making a zealot for the choke and making a sentry after the core will keep you safe for anything the zerg can do off a...

    Age of Empires II HD

    The game was fantastic for 4v4 on the zone (I also played 1v1, but it was a demanding and competitive game, so most non-poopsockers preferred 4v4). Each team would spawn with 2 pocket players and 2 wings, with the wings being outside the pockets and further forward. The game could be played in...

    StarCraft 2

    It never was valid to blame the game for losing to an all-in. The only time you lose to an all in is if you read it wrong or you are playing off race (in my case I learned to stop every all in with protoss but I still lose to them as T or Z, as I have not learned all the defenses).

    Age of Empires II HD

    Most of the unique racial units were useless in anything above low level play. They could only be produced from castles so you just could not make them fast enough. A good player would end up with 120 villagers but only 4 castles due to the high stone cost and limited stone spawns. There...

    Gun control

    I know I am going to be ridiculed for this, but it basically comes down to whether the gun is brown or black and the type of grip that it has. In a place where most people know little about guns, someone with what appears to be hunting weapons would not raise alarm, but make it look like a...

    Yes, just like the neutral depots used in tourney maps in WoL. It stops you walling the bottom of a small ramp with bunkers or pylons.
