I think the meta is mostly fine right now, the only hero I can't stand is Prism. As a Kano player, she's gatekeeping the entire meta for me. At the Indianapolis Calling, I played against 1 Viserai, 0 Starvo, and 8 Prism. It was awful.
Massive article dropped earlier this week titled FAB 2.0. It's well worth a read, but here are the highlights:
Unlimited editions are being discontinued after Everfest. Starting with the next booster set (Uprising), there will only be one printing, with additional waves added if there's demand...
Athena dash. Start every run with Athena's charm equipped and grab her dash. It makes the game way easier because the deflect shield persists for a handful of frames after the dash ends. The dash windows will be way more forgiving.
Weird, I find this is her easiest move to dodge. Roll right before she touches the ground, then run away from the ground AoE. Her phantom dancer attack, meanwhile, is something I never learned to dodge. I eventually just summoned two dudes to help me gangbang her because I was sick of it.
They have not talked about groundbreaking features, and I don't think that's really their angle, but they have talked about expanding on features that were maybe underdeveloped back in the day (like factions). They're not necessarily trying to pull in a huge audience, but they believe that there...
You can see the first passes of models in their most recent update on the website. Though not final, this is the direction they're going to go at this time so I would expect the final models to look similar. They've stated that the "old school" look will be coming from low poly and painted...
I think they're not sure if they want to crowdfund. If I remember correctly, they're more leaning towards planning to seek traditional-style funding and are considering selling merch as a way to generate funds from players, but haven't made a final decision yet. (I could definitely be wrong...
I watched the gameplay video and I just don't see any appeal at all. Low fantasy, no subsystems for things like crafting, no information on character classes or ability trees, the dungeon that was in the trailer didn't show up... what is this supposed to be? You just run around as a group of...
The full Everfest card list is now available on FABDB: https://fabdb.net/cards/browse?keywords=&per_page=30&page=1&set=evr&cost=&cardType=&pitch=&class=&rarity=&talent=
The achievements don't even need to be unique, and IMO, the server doesn't even need that much support if they get the scaling done right. As someone who likes to replay EQ2 every now and then just for nostalgia's sake, I could absolutely see myself playing on this server one or two months every...
@Hateyou get him Legends: Arceus, which will be releasing soon. It's more like the games he's already played and should serve as a decent bridge to the rest of the games if he likes it.
I think of this as sort of like a museum server. You get to experience all content at the difficulty it had when it launched. There's a lot of old zones that I haven't gone into in years because they weren't efficient for leveling and didn't have good rewards, so nobody wanted to do them at...
I liked the PvP server for a while in spite of issues but even after the rollback from the Krono duping, the economy never really recovered and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. But like Secrets, I am a sucker for this game, and the concept of the Lore and Legend server...
I started playing about a month ago, I'm absolutely in love with this game. Currently rocking Kano because he is a ton of fun and earth Briar doesn't bother me too much when I play him (lightning Briar is tougher). As long as Briar is keeping Prism out of the meta and people think Azalea isn't...
It's a double edged sword. Gamigo is one of the worst publishers out there but at least them backing the game is a guarantee that it will, at some point, release.
Deep gnomes are so damn cool. Can't wait to play one and just run under the legs of all the other races.
Shawn gave us another shoutout today: "Sorry to anyone from FoH but I couldn't get into the Wheel of Time books." :emoji_joy:
I recommend Endless Legend. It requires a bit more micromanagement when it comes to units than a game like Civ, but it's a fantastic game with a great fantasy aesthetic and the cleanest UI you will ever see in a 4x game.
It would be more entertaining if the facial tracking was half decent. There's a lot of interesting things you can do with cartoons that you can't do with live action, which is why the exist in the first place. Unfortunately, most vtubers have awful face/movement tracking, and the models are...
I don't want a sequel to this game because I think the worldbuilding and lore of the Fell Seal world is pretty bad. But I do want Nine Dots 6 Eyes to make another Tactics-style RPG with a bigger budget (better art direction, better story, better music, etc.).
I don't have a reliable source, that's just rumors I've heard from people who know people who work for Amazon gamedev. But none of them stated these things with as much confidence as:
So maybe Warrik knows more than they do?
I've only played Dragonfall. Good narrative and gameplay but there are so many damn bugs (many of which cause battle restarts and one particular one which corrupts an entire save file) that I would never pay money for it. Free is a good price for it.
The rollback was good, at least. I'm missing two Krono but they said those will be restored on Tuesday so we'll see. I'm not sure how it is at lower levels but at cap Q side still feels fine.
On Tarinax, Guardian is the best PvE and PvP tank, but is very group dependent. Berserker is still quite good and also better at soloing.
For any other server, I wouldn't know.
I've already cancelled auto-renew on my subscription. I'm going to see what happens to the economy over the next week but if prices aren't corrected by Friday I will probably stop playing until the economy gets fixed and EoF releases. Hoping to get my Claymore and Peacock weapons on Sunday so I...
Sad to say but I think you're right. Mentoring has been re-enabled and dupers have been banned but there was no rollback so the amount of plat in the economy now is ridiculous. I'm waiting to see if broker prices go back to normal next week but if they don't I'm probably done, which was a shame...
I can only speak from my experience with the Pathfinder 2e system on Foundry, but its automation is *almost* as good as FG. Seriously, it's very close, and you can add additional automation into Foundry on your own through the use of rules elements which are simple to learn an understand. Also...
