    Well, now what?

    haha oh man. I think you would be surprised. Compulsion has little to do with enjoyment.

    Well, now what?

    yeah, exactly. Hence the question. Kindof need a ballpark of what low budget means to him. Could make a web based game via flash, java, or old engines even, for well under 500k. Generally, you will see these types of games, coded by yourself though. so your own salary is kindof 0, when you...

    Well, now what?

    when you say low budget, do you mean? 500k?, 2million, or 20 million?

    Django Unchained

    Standard manipulating of awards. If Waltz was put up for lead actor, he'd be going against Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln. Putting him in "supporting actor" ought to be a free win on the other hand.

    Well, now what?

    too fun. They wanted tighter control on what to expect in player stats. raid timers, etc. Wow got more and more fine tuned to very specific dps, hps, etc WoW systematically removed a TON of player control in its instance design.

    Path of Exile

    CI is strong, but not op. you give up health pots, regen, life leach, "low hp" passive/skills. you give up all life for 50% ES buff, and chaos immune. If it didn't give you more then you put in, no one would take it. however, its not a free win. there are definitely strong trade offs.

    Well, now what?

    I was mostly just commenting on it. seems what people say, and what people want are two different things. Remember, back during early GW2 bwe, I was commenting how I felt the hearts, and 100% completion was a bad idea? People kept saying over and over they "completed a zone" specifically...

    percent of homicides involving guns by circumstance... Gang related. 70-90%. felony. 60-80% Argument. 70-60% Other 60%. uh.... anyone else see a problem with that chart?

    aoe is for the curses. And yeah, a number of the extra stuff, was just the extra points, not core.

    http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...aTJzdmLKam6zeD This is what I would be looking at currently. Softcore. Updated of the old witch. I don't know where many of the new items or skills change how it used to play. Shock nova used to be awful. cold snap as bad, and seems even worse...

    Well, now what?

    ... what I am hearing here is... why do we even have phone numbers at all? seems like a very outdated method. They are basically just shitty user ID's at this point.

    hrm. Gw2 has a shit ton of hidden unmarked stuff. Yet people are complaining that the map doesn't put MORE giant orange GO HERE signs up for DE's across the map.

    Guild Wars 2

    Instances are fine. The problem is no one putting on their thinking caps, as Cantatus stated. I mean, look at the holiday event instances. that is the kind of thing you can do in a instance. Why aren't you getting that creative for dungeons?

    Path of Exile

    yeah the ice spells are generally considered the best for witch.' at least they were. There are a few new supports since I last played. Just got arc on my witch. pretty sure that wasn't in before. What is up with curses? I used to run, temporal curtain, and elemental weakness. Is...

    We saw the same shit with Sopa. And what is really disturbing, is these aren't special cases. Pretty much anything that goes through is full of dumb shit like this. And we just don't pay attention to it. Politicians are not scientists, etc. They do not know shit about anything, other...

    Path of Exile

    well nothing directly. i was just using firetrap as an example of a remote skill you might have seen already. Then explaining, later you will find the "trap" support gem. that will let you turn ANY skill into a trap, like firetrap. Same for totems.
  21. Caliane

    Path of Exile

    support totems will drop later. level 30+ iirc. they are a support gem. you can get traps and mines in the same way. As well as specific totems. you probably have seen firetrap before? its a low skill. http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Spell_Totem remote mine, and trap are three...

    Path of Exile

    should also talk about mana for new players. Firstly, mana works like D2 mana. Mana regen is 105% of max mana per minute. or 1.75%/s. So a larger mana pool will increase your mana regen per second. Example. you have 200 mana. And then you have two passive trait options. +20% mana...

    Path of Exile

    yeah thats how skills work. You have skill gems. 3 colors. Blue, green, red. Blue gems are int based. green dex, red str. Which means they have stat requirements as they level up. A blue gem will require int to equip at increasingly large amounts. So any class can use any color gem, but...

    Path of Exile

    yeah, early game is just play/farm. you'll get some chance, alch, transmute orbs naturally. If playing with friends, you probably have a good chance to get drops. If not, might want to run solo a bit, from time to time. There is a timer on YOUR drops, but still forces you to dash for...

    If he doesn't like pve, he doesn't like PvE. Thats fine. Frankly, I hate the trinity. But won't really defend what they ended up with. Classes don't have the proper co-op interactions. We need more ally buffs, etc. Boons of +1% damage are shit. I like that game. But you can play a...

    Evil Dead Remake

    hindsight the smart move would have been to drop the name. do it original and have it be a love letter, like Cabin in the Woods. Although, maybe they couldn't have gotten the funding without the name.

    I think mmo's need to step back from this super focus on 1 character. You are the chosen one. I mean lets look at the situation. Perma loot. soul bind. free respecs, 1-80. Game starts at max level. All this wasted 1-80 content, never reused. etc. Diablo2. how many lvl 80+ chars did...

    im not sure about that. LoL isn't niche. I think there is potential for a mass market mmo. that is a bit diablo, bit Moba, bit Pokemon. obviously I said it before.. but each char has few levels. 1-20 maybe. perma death. So you start over every time it dies. ala a roguelike or realm of the...

    well, I would say the same thing that I did at the beginning of the 38 studios mess. Start small. We keep seeing these blunders because too many studios are aiming way too high. They aim high. Have to try and make their game everything to everyone. Run out of funds, and need to release...

    wow. Skip metroid honestly. While it is the origin of so much. it really doesn't stand up that well. Metroid 2, or some of the metroidvanias it spawned would fair better. Zero mission of course on the GBA, pretty much is a perfect remake. (and this is coming from a metroid fan)...

    Castlevania 2 is basically the first metroidvania. It of course had more then a few giant missteps. Bad translation made it unplayable without a guide.
