    Oh also double posting so it's more visible, in case you do want to play the new multiplayer shit, don't buy the GOG version. They don't have it as a feature and while they said it's "coming later this year", the last patch's feature is still not in either. The game makes use of the Steam API...

    They were blacklisted for a while from reddit and IsThereAnyDeals but now they're back, they have partnerships with most/all of what they sell, which is also why they don't sell everything. That said even when partnered I think you can still run out of keys because they only give so many keys...

    None of the leagues older than Beastiary have complicated mechanics. All the really old leagues are implemented in the game already for the most part. The only ones not in the baseline game are Invasion(spawns unique bosses in the zone that have some funky mechanics sometimes, most just explode...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm not really talking from a distribution perspective and more just technical issues. Streaming works alright for watching movies because of buffering and the lack of input. But packetloss when playing a game is already shit in any online game, all of them, there's always issues due to routing...

    Meh we'll see. Assuming it is true, shit looks like a PR nightmare when Comcast or Warner or whaterver decides to throttle the connection until they get paid and Microsoft doesn't want to pay them, or just in general with how shitty the US infrastructure is for Internet. And then the issue of...

    Yeah the Mathil Ground Slam build looked surprisingly good, I didn't expect ground slam to be buffed that much. You do have to stand right next to shit you want to kill if it's hard like bosses and shit, but that's not a huge problem if you build defensively enough, and vaal ground slam looked...

    Also what you can do is configure your mouse to have a key that does Alt or Ctrl. This way you can hold a mouse button and press single keyboard keys still. I've been considering doing that myself to replace Alt and make it easier to move+hit keys, but I'm too lazy to relearn everything.

    I use a normal shitty old mouse personally, and I don't even bind skills to it, M4 is autorun, alt+M4 is mount, M5 is self target(mostly use it on healer since there isn't much point otherwise). I use a lot of modifiers though, got used to it over the years. Off the top of my head, normal 2...

    Macros are good, as long as you use them for only one action. There's a few exceptions to this rule(for example as Monk I had a macro to switch fists, I forgot what the macro is but basically, press it once, it switches to fist of earth, press it again, it switches back to fist of fire. Lets me...

    Similar one for 8ex for sale, 9days ago might be overpriced though. At least 6-7ex. Quantity is the best stat and you rolled max, you have decent-ish life, high resist for all of them, rarity is ok, so yeah lots of money.

    I mean the issue when it was on wrong hands is it wasn't body swapping at all half the time. But even when it's "fixed", it still body swaps every, I don't know, .75secs or whatever, it's not really that fast moving around. I guess that's just how it is. On the 1month leagues, I think they...

    I don't know what's the optimal setup, but when I watched that Raiz poet pen lvling video the other day because someone was asking about Faster Casting in it, when he switches to PPs, it basically wasn't working because the corpses kept getting consumed and shit. Then he was like "oh", switched...

    Path of Exile

    For the body swap and volatile dead, you have to fiddle around with order of gems and which wand is MH and OH for it to work properly I think. If you're killing fast with arc though then might as well use that I guess.

    Yeah most classes have shit for aoe in these 3 dungeons, I think BRD has theirs and maybe BLM is synced high enough for fire II(but 3/4 of the time you'll start casting and the firefly will die before you're done, cancelling the whole thing since it's a targetted aoe). Best class actually I...

    While lvling as a tank would be faster, people might get really annoying if you go too slow in low lvl dungeons when they're stuck with no skills trying to do their daily roulette. Mind you not every dungeon especially if you say you're new, but some people are assholes and they'll make the run...

    There's still restrictions but yeah it's a lot better and should be a lot more interesting. Although I'm not sure if they'll be able to win with these changes, at least for now. Assuming it doesn't disapear, I'm excited to see next year's TI matches with the AI having another year to train...

    Hmm don't know about cutting the content out of the patches but that's what I meant, they're patching the shit they said they would in 2018. If they did cut content from it it's pretty pointless but I was under the impression they were finally patching like they said they would. With that said...

    It also took a lot less time to get in that state. Does look pretty decent, maybe I'll pick it up next time it's on sale. I had 0 interest in the game at launch and always felt like it was going to be shit anyway so didn't have issues with how it launched, but it seems they added quite a lot of...

    It was a bit better when there were 3 dots but yeah. The good thing is it makes dungeons go faster since for the first like 50levels, scholar does 80% of the damage of a DPS class, and since the fairy alone can keep the tanks up in dungeons, you basically don't have to cast a single heal in the...

    August also has the new Eureka area, Pogos or whatever, which means new weapon step too I assume. 4.4 is mid september, and should be when I resub to check out the story and avoid spoilers, since that's generally the patch that starts hinting heavily at the next expansion content and what not.

    Lots of good advices. I'd say the "easiest" starting class by far is WHM. It's a very simple straightforward class. It does ok damage on its own for solo leveling or whatever, can aoe shit with holy and stone is ok for soloing until SB where it kinda slows a lot but still shouldn't be too bad...

    Herald of Lightning does attack stuff on its own once it's proced. It pulses lightning bolts every second or whatever for 6secs. If you can kill something with these and assuming it also freezes, then it procs herald of frost and pops everything. I think you need a call of the brotherhood to...

    Another fun one is trying to use vaal skeletons with Femur of Saints. The staff is more or less designed to be used by skeletons builds, but if you do it'll lag like shit, because it recalculates the bonus for every minions everytime you summon a new minion. So when you cast vaal skeleton, which...

    Haven't played in a while but it's like 50 for completion, 50 for quickmatch bonus, 50 per tome(so 3x50), 75 per grimoire(so 2x75), 25 per dices you find in the map(up to 2 on normal maps, boss maps drop 2 on the bosses so up to 4, last map drops 3 on the final boss so up to 5) and ranald bonus...

    But a lot of people bought the game via Kickstarter, you'd have to argue that spending money on kickstarter is the same as buying a product, and it pretty much isn't, otherwise you could sue everyone who doesn't finish their games. For the people who bought the game after that, it's a bit more...

    The wording seemed to imply it won't be a flashback race. It's possible it'll be actual races, like a mini race season with various events. 1week races mixed in with shorter races maybe? Guess we'll know soon-ish.

    What are your stats like? Both mino and phoenix one shot me on my necro, but I kinda have no defenses so expected that really. A melee char should have some sort of mitigation so they don't get one shot. End charges for example kinda trivialize minotaur since all his dmg is phys, so you get...

    They have a special promotion code for the preorder that's 6% more, but you need a unique code they send via promotion mails.
