    I have no particular interest in DQ as a series but since it'll be on Steam I'll probably play it at some point on a sale or whatever unless I'm bored when it releases. I only played DQ Builders which was kinda fun but pretty shallow and a remake of an old one on 3DS, 6 or 7 or whatever and I...

    Yep nice surprise, especially the simultaneous release rather than a delayed release like they've done for FF and stuff.

    Dragonquest XI announced for the west, PS4 and Steam version(no 3DS in the west apparently), September 4th. Switch version much later.

    The host related issues are apparently longstanding issues with their engine, it seems there were various issues with it in VT1 too, so that's probably why it's taking longer. I've had decent results just whacking the boss with block push attacks and having it turn around even though I'm not...

    It's funny how the ability will sometimes hit like some shithead special that was behind a door and then one shot 2 more specials that you didn't even know were there and sometimes you see some fucker on a ledge lobbing poisonous bomb at your group, fire directly at him, and the arrows just bend...

    They obviously do since they're always talking about the economy and whatever and they do have a fair amount of standard players. The only time they go crazy with shit is when they void the leagues, and tbh the void leagues are often the most fun, because it feels kinda like D3 where you make...

    The Bard's Tale 4

    In some cases it'll be useful for catching bugs and for UI feedback. Content you should mostly ignore I think and that's why they only give partial limited demos for alpha/beta but it depends on what you do with the feedback in the end. I don't buy into alpha/beta tiers for shit like this, but...

    Ni No Kuni II

    30hours seems like a fine amount to me for a rpg. The old school jrpgs are mostly 30-40hours, it's just at some point they started becoming longer and now it's the norm somehow? But if you go back and play Chrono Trigger or FF6, they're around 30-40hours(although in my memory they were a lot...

    She's pretty shit until 7, at which point she gets ok if you switch to Pyro, then at 12 you're probably better off playing as Unchained for a while. Once you hit 20 or so is when you can easily go back to pyro and become god. She's great at everything with beam or bolt staff(with beam being a...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Blizzard slowly going the way of Valve, they'll just make money out of the shit they've already made and aren't making any new games soon. I think they'll be re-releasing war3 and D2 for the next couple of years and just selling more wow expansions/overwatch costumes/heroes of the storm heroes...

    Iirc it's going to be cheaper to buy the vive pro+normal vive which comes in a bundle with shit than the shit on their own. Like you save 50bucks or something and you get a free normal vive out of it which you might be able to resell. I saw someone doing that math somewhere. Anyway shit's looks...

    They're used to craft items. They are kinda annoying and I hope they add a filter to hide them, but they're necessary for crafting purposes, in the current system. Currently, if you level and crash on the reward screen, you can actually not get them, and that means you can't craft the item(short...

    Whenever you want really, you shouldn't waste all your mats leveling but you can use a fair amount. I only crafted when I wanted to check a new weapon or when my gear was lagging behind too much. I don't think you should like waste all your mats just to raise your item level slightly like some...

    Only works when you free someone from a gutter/hookrat/leech though, which is pretty weak due to the conditionals. Getting 20%atk speed on crit or 50% dmg increased on blocks seem a lot better to me.

    Yeah the problem is, if he teleports next to you, you first have to run away asap to make it, but if you still have trash laying around cause people were too focused on killing the boss and you have to block, you can't make it far enough to reach a place where you can fit inbetween 2shots...

    Maybe he just liked the last Kirby game or whatever? You don't have to have played the original game to like a series and be hyped about a new game. There's a lot of people who are hyped about a new mario or zelda even though they've never played the original or only played the original on...

    It will get fixed when they release dedicated servers support, so there's no real reason for them to work on another fix and delay that. I fucking hate map RNG. Today I got Halescourge 5times and Skittergate 3times, out of like a dozen of games. These maps fucking suck in pubs. Skittergate is a...

    Elite was always a drop, mostly because act 1 and 2 are a lot easier than act 3 and 4, and yeah it's even more of a drop now compared to expansion zones. It's a pretty common theme with arpgs, in PoE back before they added act 5-10, going from act 4 to act1 was always a joke because act1 mobs...

    Problem of damage is it counts temp health losses as damage taken too, and if you're venting, that counts as damage, so if you're chain venting on Sienna and virtually taking no damage due to temp health, you'll still get a shit score there. I believe it also counts friendly fire, so that's...

    What class? I find unless the party is well balanced, it's often one guy will just get most of the shit. I've been leveling Pyro Sienna the past couple of days and it's disgusting on the scoreboard most of the time, but I don't feel it really means all that much, if it wasn't me it'd be an elf...

    In game 1 there's mods that make the bots smarter and less shit, so that you can do even the highest difficulty with them, and they'll carry tomes/grimoires too. I assume that's gonna be one of the first big thing they'll work on, although it's more likely the guys doing mods will release easier...

    Can't wait for bot mods to be able to run champion 3tomes 2grims with bots only. Slayer damage output is unreal and his leap is pretty good for control and stuff but yeah he's squishy(even with the talents to make you less squishy) and you need to really be on point with the blocks and dodges...

    That's a pretty cool design, both the recipe and the fact it's a very solid item. Should increase the value of many trash uniques which is good overall, although currently since it's new it's probably fucking the economy up the ass but I guess it'll even out later. It'd be nice if they had like...

    Power is your level*10 + item total/5. While you do want to equip higher power items, the difference is relatively small due to it being average between items and being also added to your character level. Just equip the best items, but upgrade to higher power every time it makes sense(if you...

    Yeah I did a few recruit games on my Witch Hunter since it was lvl 1 and god are some people fucking shit. The worst are like the lvl ~15 people that are somehow still complete shit even though you can more or less solo recruit besides the annoying assassins/hookrats/leeches. Bots are actually...

    The lvl 7 jobs unlock pretty fast though, the 12 ones take quite a bit longer. You can also equip a shield weapon combo on ranger and just shield bash motherfuckers fine, the only difference between the 2 jobs really is the ultimate for horde control and the fact you can fuck up a lot more times...

    2 biggest tips to start with is Stay with the group and if someone's lagging behind, turn around to check on them every now and then to see if they're about to get fucked and help them, better split 2/2 than 1/3. Don't go exploring shit even if you see a potion unless you really need it. Also...

    Seems weird that you wouldn't just be able to do expansion 2 stuff without expansion 1. Isn't it happening already atm with vanilla and expansion, where vanilla gets the various core changes to the game like new devotions and balance changes to skills, new UI options and what not? And then you...

    Yeah I mean PoE has a lot of shit going on for sure but I feel it's often more interesting interactions and ideas rather than obtuse systems. Like all the systems are simple to use, they just have a lot of depth so the complexity comes from how you combine things. There are some exceptions...

    You can't really permanently keep it without annoying shit or being low life, but if it's like to fight a boss where 20secs is enough, you can weapon swap with blood magic+arctic armour or something similar(totem+herald and such, can fine tune depending on your reserved aura and shit) to proc it...

    There's a 3rd party website to make your builds with better features but it's still a mess, the concept is convoluted as fuck in general. As daunting as the skill tree in PoE is, it's fairly simple, you get one point, you put a point in something next to something else you took before. There's...

    Pet builds are very strong and not too gear intensive either so good starter builds like in most games like this. There are guides on the official forums, look for necro/occultist or shaman/occultist pet builds mostly. You can kinda respec how you want so don't hesitate skilling stuff up for...

    I do assume they'll drop a difficulty, there were people asking for it already with AoM, because if you do AoM on normal and on expert(or whatever the name of the 2nd diff is), you can basically more or less hit close to 100 already. It made sense to have Nemesis difficulty for like endgame...

    They should have 13 maps at launch, at least that's how many are listed in the files. They've shown like 6 or 7, so hopefully they do have the rest ready. It does get pretty boring with so few maps for now, although each run tends to be slightly different depending on when and how many specials...

    Yeah 2nd one looks way better than first one. First one had amazing visuals obviously, solid music, pretty good story considering the theme(very children friendly stuff) but combat was both pretty boring and pretty annoying, so it wasn't like a super great RPG imo, but it was solid. But as I...

    I haven't played seriously in a while so I might be wrong with some stuff. First while nice to plan ahead, it's good to have an idea of what your build should look like at 85/90 rather than 100, since most people won't go to 100 anyway. You seem to have too many accuracy nodes and not enough...
