    Problem with every mmorpg

    One of the main issue with the "realistic" economy systems is the chinese ruining everything they touch. Every game is plagued by bots and hackers or just farmers and it fucks up the economy in various places, so if your game is too reliant on it, it tends to kinda shit itself with massive...

    D:OS2 is miles better than the first, and the first was already pretty decent, D:OS2 is definitely one of the best games of 2017(granted, it was also a really fucking good year for games, so it might not have won that many GotY and shit, with stuff like Nier, Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero...

    You can play PE3 FES on PS3, that's how I played it a couple years ago. Can emulate it too though so kinda whatever.

    No max, no new row, you just can't see them. That's why they added the flask duration UI so people can try to keep track of stuff and moved the debuffs in a separate line so you can actually see anything at all and remove self cast auras too. There's still a lot of stuff but not that much is...

    They are billions

    From what I've seen from a few stream, it's basically a pretty good "demo" for now. It functions well enough, the gameplay loop is fun, but it has very limited content so it probably will end up being repetitive a lot faster than if they had more stuff done. It seems it's worth buying if you...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Personally I'm just waiting for new better versions of the PC VR headsets before buying anything. I assume this year(2018 I mean) or maybe the first half of next year they'll have something new to sell, maybe, and it feels it'd be a waste of money to spend on a headset currently. PSVR is a bit...

    Overwatch

    This isn't very surprising and happens with other games. I'd say it probably has to do with streaming becoming more prevalent and some people in the industry making streams to explain stuff behind the process to gamers directly, rather than have forum posts from a community manager who's just...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    They released a new video of the single player part of the game: Seems they're actually making a game, but a lot of this looked pretty rough. I know it's "pre alpha", but they've been on pre alpha for like 2years so I wouldn't really consider it pre alpha. The game does look great but the FPS...

    It's a good jewel but really not meta. The best thing it'd be good for is poison AW, which is like super niche even amongst fairly niche summoner builds. SRS mostly scales elemental(fire or cold specifically, with EE lightning) and other builds don't have enough minions to make good use of flat...

    Path of Exile

    The scorpions are annoying as fuck because of their running away AI. As a summoner they basically constantly run offscreen since minions just follow them and you do 0 damage. It's horrible when they get soul eater or some shit mod and don't die instantly. I've noticed you don't really have to...

    Only does that on Black apparently, they added a bunch of context sensitive cutscenes/finishers when you have certain matchups, such as the intro/outro(a lot of which they've shown in the trailer they made earlier this week) and some finishers. Anyway game looks crazy good, as much as I'm not a...

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

    What's the reasoning behind not giving more stuff though? If you pay 500$, shouldn't you at least get a lifetime sub? I mean in most cases, that's 5years of subs maybe, which amounts to 720bucks(at 12$ a month). That's not accounting for reduced sub prices if you pick 6months and stuff like you...

    Yeah not gonna buy it though, I only really play jrpgs and stuff with my PS4, I don't ever play online games or even use the console that much, so it's a waste of money for me. I'm not planning on playing MHW on PS4 either, waiting for PC version, just figured I'd check it out for this open beta...

    Which you have no idea if it'll actually be something you want to play, other than some empty promises so far. The main issue isn't so much that you're investing early into a game, that's mostly fine. The main issue is you're investing a stupid amount of money for no actual tangible benefit...

    Was buffed when they buffed like 80% of the uniques back in... 3.0 or whenever that was I don't remember. It's really not that good, but it's at least useable since the older version had reduced life/es, which made it basically complete garbage. Seems the wiki fixes have been finished and...

    Ah nice guess I'll check it out since I didn't last time because I don't have PSN. Wonder if they were unhappy with the previous stress test numbers or if they just want to test more load.

    I meant the lateral distance from volley, not the bounce from magma itself. If it doesn't increase the volley distance then with a good amount of aoe you can possibly overlap all 3 balls on decent sized models, which would be pretty big damage.

    I just leveled with SRS, you put SRS+minion damage+meleesplash in a 3L +1fire wand and it basically clears the entire story super fast with no upgrading required, as long as you're getting some minion/duration nodes on the way and using flesh offering. The bosses melt stupidly fast too including...

    PoE does something similar, or used to not sure they do anymore, but it's basically a process where the user submit a general idea, then they work with a dev into refiining it and making it fit into the game. For PoE you make unique items, you'd say for example I want a sword that summons...

    Well the attacks are mostly a delivery mode for the linked stuff but I guess with Mjolnir you could use more stuff. Still the wand attacks are solid, you get Barrage if you want to spam shit, Kinetic for super strong aoe and Frenzy if you want to build frenzy charges at the same time. You can...

    Several reddit posts and one streamer playing it, and honestly it looks pretty fun and even not bad. It is a mystery how they decided to add this after they specifically nerfed Mjolnir for doing the same thing though and haven't buffed it back since.

    Animate Guardian is basically a customizable Golem. You know how golems give you a utility buff, that's what Animate Guardians are for too pretty much. You put some items that provide auras and effects that can buff your other shit and that's pretty much it. If linked to minion life along with...

    Well apparently the dev who made the jewel said it wasn't made with Unearth in mind, he just liked the leveling spectre thing where you picked up random spectres as you progressed. Although with the new desecrate that kinda doesn't seem to be a thing anymore, before I used the jewels I just...

    You can kinda do MF summoner stuff too. The main issue is it's terrible for hardcore, but other than a few slots that require specific uniques to improve your killspeed, most of the other slots for summoners are like life/resists, so you can replace some/all of them with MF gear. Iirc you don't...

    The joke so far is that G is Greg from Bloody Roar, has the same top hat and shirt and he can transform into a gorilla, which apparently appears at the end of Ed's story mode shit. If he's a new char, his design is really similar, so it's kinda weird, but at the same time it's a really weird...

    I've heard pretty good things about this, other than bugs in the review version which might or might not have been fixed in the day1 patch. Not really willing to pay 50bucks for the game though so I'm just going to wait until it drops price and play some of the other shit I have on my backlog.

    There's a short clip on reddit showing barrage with desecrate and volatile dead and I think cascade too. It seems to generate a stupid amount of flying balls of death at the same time. Don't know how viable it is but looked nice enough.

    A lot of the new uniques are pretty cool, reminds me of Grim Dawn gear which give skills and stuff instead of just changing some things passively. Really liking this new design direction.

    Was in the patch notes yeah. Also potion duration is shown on the potions and your own auras don't show up on your buff bar anymore since they already show in your bindings so aura bitches won't have 150auras(everyone else still does though). Bunch of small changes to the UI.

    For DD I guess if you were to try to scale ignite, DD would do a lot more damage since it has like twice as much base damage and 2% more damage from the corpse itself. That said, ignite nowadays isn't really a thing so it probably won't be very relevant. The corpse thing affects all these new...

    No, I think they moved it back? Not sure but usually it should have been patched already since it generally is released halfway during catch up patch, so with 4.15. Might not be until 4.2 now.

    Na you use skeletons to clear trash, but it's slower than speedbuilds in general, that's just how summon builds end up being. Only spectres will sometimes clear as fast but they nerfed them a bunch so probably not, although one advantage is you can pick up shit while killing as a summoner(but at...

That and consoles being obsolete pieces of shit, so you can't really do that many improvements and still have...
