    Also on the trap comparison, while throwing traps is faster than casting the spell, you have to wait for the traps to travel, and then activate, so pretty sure selfcast is just faster than traps. Mines go faster but the detonating mechanic is pretty cancer imo(even if you use a totem, you...

    The lucky buff is affected by duration I'd assume. It also says base duration is 4secs.

    Path of Exile

    I think with the amount of chains it has and the base damage, it should hit for at least 2% of a boss health. That's 20% increased damage for 4.6secs with no other shock duration/effect modifiers. I assume you'll grab shit on the tree too. I mean maybe I'm misjudging the amount of damage it does...

    Mad made a post and apparently OG kinda looks dead for now. Honestly probably a good time for some decent team to kick their 4 and get themselves a Jerax.

    Well they said in the Q&A with Rory that they would give Vaal arc a buff to arc on top of its usual stuff and that because they moved the former "will target an additional target each chain" aspect directly on the base skill, it'd be new. Not entirely sure what the wording means, I'm thinking it...

    Iirc Blade and Soul also launched with similar stupid shit stuff, then they added cash shop consumable items to send shit to your other chars, and I think more recently they just removed it and you can trade shit(but haven't played since launch so could be wrong on that). It is kinda weird that...

    Steam is doing refunds at least, so if you bought through them, you can get your money back(as long as you have 2hours or less played or so).

    There's also always a reddit post before the start of every league(but after patch notes) with the usual starter builds, sometimes with video links so you can see how they play. But really most builds other than lab/boss farmers/summons are going to fit in your categories. You want a "fast"...

    On the other hand, hearing the stories of how Suma1l is a lazy fuck who doesn't put in the work and doesn't take scrims seriously and whatever, I feel bad for S4. Hopefully they do well. At the very least, they have the talent to easily qualify for TI, they're technically the best "NA" team...

    Also the skins are only for one character, so you better not fuck up your initial choice. It's possible whining to support will get them moved but yeah it's a pretty bad deal. For it to be worth you need to consider the skins(costume+mount skin+wings effect) to be worth 20$.

    One of the first guy who got in showed the cash shop on twitch, he was a random streamer with 150viewers though. Seems standard what you'd expect, all sorts of temp boosts to various things you can gain(xp, gold, guild points, pvp points, dungeon points, whatever else), not sure if they stack...

    Apparently Ele hit is going to be pretty strong(maybe broken?) based on how the mechanics work from what they said on reddit. Basically, you can convert all the damage from the other element types into one, then use jewels to restrict that element only, and they all add up. That's because the...

    There's probably some people without a team atm they could recruit haven't looked into it too much, after that it's a matter of beating Optic/VGJ Storm in the qualifiers, which honestly is possible even without the highest caliber of players. They've been doing pretty well but still.

    Isn't vaal ST kinda meh though, unless they're reworking it? Like it's the paladin D2 hammer skill right, expanding circle of floating weapons and shit.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Apparently this includes most ships(some are discontinued and rolled into other ships or whatever I don't really understand what people said exactly on reddit about it), so that'd be the most expensive pack they could do. Kinda surprised they didn't release more ships than that tbh, but still...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's just a pack with a bunch of existing ships in it, don't think it's new(well the pack itself might, but if you were retarded you could have bought all the ships on their own too). There's a random screenshot of it on Reddit complaining about it popping if you filter prices for each ship...

    I'd assume you can just turn off online inside the game. On consoles you could at least, I haven't started playing DS3 yet even though I bought it months ago and that's the only PC souls I own so can't tell for sure but that's how I'd assume it works. Otherwise yeah you can just launch steam in...

    Didn't know, but not sure you can get this to work on the emulator though, since I assume the emulator would need network support and I'm not sure it does that?

    Dark Souls

    There's still a few issues but the lastest version of the emulator can run it very smoothly yeah, provided you have a beefy enough setup(mostly CPU from what I understand). Doesn't have any multiplayer element though obviously, since the servers are down and they haven't really managed to...

    They said they want to nerf it but last time they talked about it they also said they didn't know if they were gonna nerf it this patch because they weren't sure how to nerf it. I think they could potentially nerf it by making it damage based, so for example applying very small hits of an...

    In that article there's a video about vaal skills and they mention something that I think is new? When they're talking about arc and vaal arc, they're talking about the reworked vaal arc that they mentionned before, but they also say "we thought it wasn't enough so we made it so vaal arc gives...

    Well your first runs will probably picking random shit because the info won't be out there for a little while. Honestly I don't think it'll be super userful while leveling, you'll probably pick the least annoying shit to get some free loot and get the fuck out. Currency/gems I think is what...

    I felt it was an alternate universe WW2 thing at first, but the fact it's very very minor, without like an obvious big reveal at the end(floating fortress in the sky or some shit like that), I'm not sure. It might just be to show off the character customization options, like "eh you can have a...

    Meh for now I'm leaning towards skipping this, everything I see about the game looks pretty bad there doesn't seem to be any redeeming aspect.

    The problem of the asian market, or really the chinese market, is Tencent tends to buy up companies/the rights to publish games in China, then in parallel works on making clones of said game(like actual clones, not games in the same genre), and then sell that in direct competition with the...

    Huntsman ult after this patch is definitely worth losing charge.

    They did some changes from beta to live and the patch is somehow fucking worse. Exe sword nerf was absolutely not needed when the weapon was only barely on par with Halberd, and generally harder to use(needed to actually aim, slower swings for horde, smaller reach). The glaive nerf is kinda bad...

    If you ram you take hull damage, generally if you're within ram range you can just assault instead. I think ramming is only good if you can sink them with it. If you have the big boat you can sink a lot of fuckers in one turn though with the big cannons, but need to grind a lot of pirate...

    I usually take 2 days to get to maps or whatever, I don't mind it taking slower, I find the leveling interesting enough, I actually ID gear and shit which is horribly inefficient but I know once I get to maps I'll get bored pretty quick anyway. The thing is you can make it really fast if you...
