    Path of Exile

    On CoC in case you don't read reddit/poe boards comment, Chris said the 500ms cd is spell specific. If you link say 3spells to CoC, they all have their own 500ms cd, which means technically you can still fire several spells a second. The only exception is they can't fire on the same frame, but I...

    Path of Exile

    I like the footsteps and the portal, the back attachment thing looks terrible unless you want to cosplay an ice elemental. Some of the challenges look more annoying than usual. The 2nd encounters is pretty fucking awful, it has like ALL the rare shit. Trove, Tormented Embezzler, Inner Treasure...

    Path of Exile

    Also of note in the many comments GGG left in the forums/reddit, Chris mentionned the hp of mobs is getting boosted in 2.4. Not sure to what extent, but it should be a bit more challenging again. I mean usually hp doesn't mean challenge, but when you get to the point where everything on your...

    Path of Exile

    I don't think it drops more but I do think we clear way faster than we used to, which increases currency per time played. But it was probably either good boots or some guy thinking they were good boots, you can find decent boots(80life, 1good resist, movespeed and possibly a 2nd not so good...

    Well with the rumor from V&lat that Bulldog and S4 would be on OG, I think it'd work out fine. Also on Secret I think it's good that they went international, and it's also good for the MvP guys. Realistically, as much as I would have liked to see a korean team win something important, korean...

    Well Decoy and Warchief do fairly different things. Decoy is way more defensive, although I believe it also adds 10% damage taken now with taunt changes, but Warchief is way more damage, at the expense of not being nearly as good at distracting shit. For Flicker I'd say Warchief would do better...

    Path of Exile

    The "exploiting" is really only maximizing map xp, which unless you're racing for something, is pretty pointless. I could see it as being an issue in 48h-2weeks races type of events where you'd absolutely want to maximize your atlas, but otherwise for most people, it's not gonna be a terribly...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Yeah well fuck Early Access. Definitely picking the game up once it releases though, first one was really cool, I spent like 200hours on it counting the original and EE, and this one looks way better in a lot of ways. But playing an unfinished version early sounds like a good way to not feel...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah on the Diablo subreddit there were a lot of ppl mentionning how they kept using the number 4 in a lot of stuff during the stream, and like the end of the stream had 4 people high five the diablo plushie and shit like that, so D4 seems kinda likely, at least that's in the works. D2 HD...

    The RPG Thread

    They don't really play exactly like SoM, but close enough, SoM was more slow paced and overall easier and shit, especially when you started cheesing with spells. Also SoM had multiplayer, which was pretty fun if you had friends. That said Ys are excelent games, at least the re-releases on Steam...

    A lot of people hated these leagues back then though, especially Beyond(hell people hated Beyond days during that 1month league that had rotating mods). Beyond is nice once in a while, but permanently beyond is a fucking shitfest, it gets annoying really quickly unless you play a very strong...

    Bandai Namco running a sale on their website stuff, notably Tales of Zestiria is 84% off and you can add a 15% coupon on top to bring down the price to 6.80$. Coupon is BNE15OFF. They give steam keys to redeem, have to register an account on their website but not stupid client or whatever, so...

    You can get it for Malachai, the quest ends right before you do the fight, when you open the thingie. You can TP out, get your gems, and go back in. You can get them earlier by trading but never bothered, unless obviously you don't get the gem as rewards then might as well. On new leagues early...

    Chain and GMP are quest rewards. Duellist gets both(well, they're on the vendor after you complete the corresponding quest). There's only a handful of drop only gems left, notably Added Chaos Damage, not too sure about others. Maybe Temp Chains? You get GMP/chain just before the end of act IV...

    Doesn't make much sense thematically, at least from what we've seen. You escort a ram payload, to take down the gates of the castle, sure. Then you're inside the castle and what? Why are you still escorting the payload? Maybe it changes form? That'd be pretty nice. Don't even know what you're...

    Amazon Buys Curse gaming.

    They also own a lot of wikis for a lot of popular games because they own gamepedia. I know recently they fired the guy who was working on the Path of Exile wiki or some shit, and first thing they did was slap some fucking massive ads. I don't mean like a big banner, but like a gigantic popup...

    ZiggyD has some good starting guides and stuff too, explains basics like vendor recipes, links and what not. They're kinda old I think but still up to date, other than Ascendencies(but he might have done a new guide after Ascendency). Look him up on youtube.

    Path of Exile

    I don't think you restart the atlas ever, it's just an additional new system on top of normal maps. The thing with the Atlas over current system is you can +5levels maps(so you could like +5 T14 and they'd be crazy xp, or you could +5 gorge and they'd be even better xp than currently, or you can...

    The time for the reveal shouldn't have changed, it's a press embargo, not linked to ingame events or anything. Time is a bit weird on it(I guess it's just based on saturday morning in NZ). It's in 5hours and 30minutes from now.

    DOTA 2

    On time between games, have to also consider that sometimes teams want to play again right away and not give the enemy team time to recover. In this case for example, sure maybe EG wanted to take a break, but maybe they also wanted to press their psychological advantage. After a game like this...

    DOTA 2

    They should probably put the hero zoom camera thing in a window while still showing the game when they're showing players. And replays do kinda break the action a bit especially when they're long but stuff is still happening. Not super important stuff, but you want to know if they went back to...

    Path of Exile

    Chris said 3weeks after the reveal(although that was a little while ago). And I think the differentiation he's making is what exactly happens in 2.4. It's what they call an expansion, and it's a major patch, but it's not a new act. Act5 will be coming later. This will basically be like...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Didn't see it mentionned but there's also a 100% xp bonus when leveling any class that's lower level than your highest. Or I think it was 100%, been a while. Changes to 50% once you reach 50. So while you don't get quest xp anymore, it goes pretty fast doing fates or dungeons. Dungeons...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I don't remember them falling off. But I wasn't talking about damage grenades either. There's heal grenades, CC grenades and iirc charm grenades, and all these are broken as fuck when used properly, and even if you miss a throw, you're simply adding a small disadvantage that you usually can...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    It's been a while since I replayed the game and I forgot about most of it, but pretty sure it was the same. They did nerf endgame melees a lot, but they're still far ahead when buffed properly and mages are mostly relegated to utility with some decent aoe damage potential on the side. The...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Can probably find a powerlevel easily atm. I'm in the same boat kinda, I logged in, started leveling, then logged out at lvl 20, just didn't feel like doing it anymore. But the thing is I don't think I'll bother with the season at all. It's pretty much the same as the past 2 seasons. And I don't...

    As pointed out, do your main story quests. A lot of the game features are gated behind those quests. Shit like your mount, your bank, the ability to sell stuff on the marketplace(which is the same as your bank in this game), a lot of the dungeons and trials and shit like that. That and class...

    Timewalking has literally nothing to do with XIV hard modes. I feel you've never done any of the hard modes since it doesn't look like you understand what they are and instead assume it's like some scaling of old dungeons like wow apparently does. Scaling exists, it's done automatically, you can...

    Haven't played wow in too long to tell, but judging from the list of dungeons and raids as well as new features, Heavensward has more content than Warlords currently, and Warlord was released 8months before. If you mean to compare ALL of wow's content to FFXIV's entire content, yeah well, no...

    Hard mode is just the name for the dungeons, they're different dungeons, using some of the same assets. It's not like they take an existing dungeon, slap a few mechanics, maybe add a boss, and that's your hard mode. It's a full new dungeon. And one of the 2 dungeons every patch is an entirely...

    They said they're working on that actually. Don't think it'll make it, but maybe later. Basically so you can race whenever you want, just limited to say 1run of this or that per week or whatever.

    Yeah I got kinda bored playing Chaos, it's better played after other factions, but even then it's kinda meh imo.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I don't think it changed since I last played, but basically paladin had slightly better mitigation sometimes, but way worse damage all the time, so the downsides outweighted the upsides, making them an inferior choice for pretty much anything. On the other hand, short of whatever the current...

    Definitely not a RPG, although it has RPG elements(leveling, items, that kind of shit). It's a beat em up/side scroller. In some ways similar to the old Castlevanias(the NES/SNES ones, not the DS metroid-like ones) or Ghost n Goblins. I really liked it, but yeah it's repetitive, like most games...

    I don't think it'd be worth it for EG to risk their name just to make some betting money when they still have a shot at winning the whole thing, and getting banned forever from Valve event if it came to light which basically means never having a dota team again since it's pretty much the same...
