    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Probably won't be backward compatible with 3DS/DS at least, maybe Wii/Wii U though that'd make sense kinda, who knows. I wish it'd play 3DS games cause the idea of being able to play 3DS games on a large screen(maybe with the screen of the portable NX as the bottom screen) would be fucking...

    Path of Exile

    He also worked on Marvel Heroes and kinda made it from a shit game to a fairly decent one that became way more profitable from my understanding, so having him work on the chinese version of PoE which has microtransactions and what not seems like a good idea. The name is also recognizable but I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I highly doubt overhauling the battle system means reducing the GCD, the GCD works fine and is helpful for gamepad support I think. It'd be a change to try to please some people that didn't like the game at the risk of displeasing many current players, a gamble that probably wouldn't be worth...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Shaper isn't really necessary content though, just like Uber Atziri. And there are a bunch of builds who can kill him, albeit slowly, with relatively low item investment. Especially with essences letting you self craft better gear, it really wouldn't be impossible, although on HC it'd be really...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm not sure all of these are tied to PS3, especially stuff like inventory and towns, that sounds like server issues(the towns not sure maybe some spaghetti code in there, heavensward has areas that are way way bigger than cities and Ishgard itself is split into 2 but each area is like larger...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I don't think a Diablo mmo would involve what most people here consider mmo. I think it'd be closer to Marvel Heroes "mmo", as in large instanced areas with a bunch of ungrouped people frantically clicking large hp sponges, and some "raid" content which is basically 8man D2 groups, but with...

    Seems they already started the upgrade campaign for PS3 > PS4. It lasts until December 2017(so a year+). Can pickup old PS3 copies of the game for cheap and upgrade to PS4 for not much, that said you'd still need Heavensward after(and evenually Stormblood too) so not as useful anymore.

    Cause it's not a trailer, it's a teaser. The real trailer will be in december for the japanese fanfest. They did the same for Heavensward. HW teaser and trailer:

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm quite interested to see what role they give RDM. Traditionally, RDM had no defined role, he was just a Jack of all trades with some sword skills, some black magic and some white magic, but within the clearly defined role system of FFXIV, that doesn't really fit too well, especially the white...

    Overwatch

    Well there was a lot less Genji fucking up everyone too. The Pharah stuff was interesting, hadn't seen her in a while, I don't watch that much Overwatch cause I never know when there's matches but hadn't seen her since they did all the changes to like McCree and shit. Interestingly don't see...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Interestingly, both David Brevik and Bill Roper, of old Blizzard North, tweeted about visiting Blizzard a couple days ago. So there's most likely a new project in the works, but it might be the only project they have, and a lot of positions might be already filled, leading to people leaving...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yes and Mythos which was never finished I think, and then he worked for a while on actually turning it around for Marvel Heroes(until they turned it back to where it's heading now as he left). Anyway could mean jackshit really and he's just trolling or whatever on his twitter.

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I used to like raiding, but nowadays I hate it. Mostly I hate the commitment, not so much in terms of time, but in terms of schedule. I hate having to be there at certain hours on certain days every x days of the week. Sometimes I want to watch TV, sometimes I want to play another game...

    DOTA 2

    Can still kite him a fair amount with slows/hard disables, especially shit that isn't dispelled by BKB/goes through BKB(viper ult for example, roar, puck with agh, this kind of shit), and ghost scepters so you don't die when he blinks assuming you press the button before you get stunned as well...

    Updates after patches will depend on who's doing the updates at the time and stuff I'd assume. I used Aether Oil - Gamer Escape's Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV, FF14) wiki more personally but back when I played the wiki you linked wasn't updated for shit, don't know about nowadays. Also Garland Tools...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I skipped this season already, but yeah sounds pretty dead if they didn't even bother with a PTR. They might do some minor changes but probably nothing worth playing. Sounds pretty fucking shit leading to the supposedly big Diablo news for Blizzcon.

    Poll Is dipping your french fries in a milkshake acceptable?

    The thing I don't understand about the whole process is, so you dip your fries, that's fine, you get some really overly sweet sauce for your fries but whatever, my issue is, what the fuck happens to the milkshake then? After dipping a bunch of fries in it, surely it tastes like, well, fries...

    Path of Exile

    I think totems are awarded only at the end of the season, it doesn't scale in real time? Then again I never used any, or customized my hideout beyond moving all the shit the closest possible to the middle so I don't have to run around.

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Oh right I forgot about that. I didn't play XI that much so I guess I wasn't THAT hyped, but still pretty hyped since the screens for promotion and stuff looked really cool and they had all these kinda old school ideas of positional grouping strategies and whatever the fuck else. Then I played...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    I guess Guild Wars 2 probably. Hearing about the game being made I picked up GW1 with all the expansions because I only had played some trial or whatever back when it released and didn't like it too much, and fell in love with the game, although it wasn't really mmo-ish and more like really cool...

    It's like wow, they have some cash shop only stuff on top, which is kinda meh considering the sub but eh. They do have a ton of ingame costumes especially since you can glamour old armor and stuff, so it's not like terrible.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That didn't happen for Heavensward because just like wow they rework the formulas as you level up, so while you might have twice as much haste/spell speed, you actually get the same speed. Also forces you to replace your old gear since the ratings you had on your old shit become complete garbage...

    Path of Exile

    They confirmed that with act5 coming, they'll remove one difficulty again, so it'll only be normal > merciless from that point on. Good change since the leveling process was getting pretty annoying with the 3 difficulties as they add more content to it. That said act5 isn't coming for a while...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I remember seeing that list a few years ago. Guess it pops every now and then. Fun fact, #3, Rak, was a friend from UO and the account was botted by a bunch of chinese to that ranking. He bought it for like 500bucks iirc with the goal of being server first to cap. He did a lot of buying/selling...

    I think he means available, cause that's reduce the cost of the original PS4 too, as well as be a normal step since a new version is out to drop the older one. That said, FFXI ran on PS2 for the entire time, so I don't know. It's possible they'd find a way to split the clients somehow, have a...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Only seen the screenshot of the talent/trait/whatever it's called in this game, and it seems to be universal, as in not an elven thing to pass on memories. From the wording, you can simply eat any body part and gain access to memories of that person. It seems it'll be something similar to Pet...

    DOTA 2

    And after every kill means after every kill your team gets, spamming well played after your opponent kills someone on your team doesn't have quite the same effect. But yeah at the end of the day it's a 5vs5 game, you don't have to be technically a beast and able to solo mid carry every game to...

    Well GBA probably not, 3DS maybe but I don't think emulators are very good yet for the 3DS. You'd probably better off emulating the PS1 and PS2 versions I think.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    That sounds fine to me, they had shown that before in the char creation video from a couple of months ago, if you want the roleplay shit you tag stuff, if you don't you don't, and if you want the specially tailored dialogue stuff you play a premade char, no real issues with that system. If...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Provided you build/play correctly, pretty much anything is fine and will be overpowered by like 2/3rd into the game or earlier depending. The most broken in the original was 2H warrior, but I think in EE it was dual wield rogue, although it's been a while. Broken as in, can one round most...

    Path of Exile

    One of them was apparently a melee skill or physical spell, that spawned mirror images to attack stuff(might not be considered pets though, more like just how it looked). But since they scrapped most of that stuff, might not end up actually releasing. You'll probably have to build around the...

    Path of Exile

    Order mattered on CWDT back when you could put both enduring cry and immortal call on it, you needed to have enduring cry first so it'd do that before doing immortal call. But they nerfed that combo by making the Warcries tag for Enduring Cry+new skills, so that you couldn't trigger them...

    Path of Exile

    If you play totems, they finally unfucked flameblast on totems, it stops casting once it reaches full charge(before it'd just keep going and only cast once the totem expired/you replaced it). Looks pretty solid with decent cast speed and some aoe, does very large blast. Not the fastest though...

    Why would more people be running older content btw, is there a new feature for it in 3.4? I'm probably waiting for 3.5 though, that's the last catch up patch before next expansion, will be easier to gear and clear all 3.4 content(other than savage but I can just watch a video of that, it's not...

    It is if your optimize your leveling, especially as a group. One guy looks for the next map, while other guys grind, rotate the guy running to the next map so xp is fairly even and shit, share drops so everyone's geared decently and make use of stuff like auras and curses stacking to trivialize...

    Seems if you had preordered Total War Warhammer on steam, you got the chest for it and the chests sell for ~20bucks atm. I bought it from GMG so seems I didn't get it, guess it had to be from steam directly.

    Titan Quest

    As far as I remember the game wasn't Diablo3 easy though, but then again I'm pretty sure I've never played it without the complete rework mods pack thing, which iirc did make everything harder.
