    Yeah summer usually. They have a bunch of sales in a row at the end of the year, but after that it's nothing until summer. If you track sales in general though, there's plenty of stuff being sold either during week long deals, weekend deals and other websites do sales pretty often too. As for...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    There's a large dragon world boss kind of thing. More people for that is better since it dies faster, although I think people can also fuck it up for everyone so not sure. And world PvP if that's your thing, but world pvp in this game is awful as shit due to not normalizing damage like arena...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well if it's backwards compatible, I would probably buy one so I can play the Wii U games without having to buy a Wii U. Eventually. Maybe. Thing is I have so much backlog lately I don't really care that much though. And yeah my comparison was purely based on my own tastes. Most of the PS...

    Hmm I'd say it's maybe kinda like a bell curve? If you don't have the money you really want it, if you have enough money you're kinda meh, and if you have way too much money, you really want it cause why not. But really depends on people though.

    Alienware trying to sell their pricy shit though, doesn't really mean you need a 1k$ PC to run games, as usual for PC gaming it depends on settings and game optimization. Some games will require better PC cause they're optimized like shit, others won't. But yeah obviously you need a pretty good...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I think the bundles were down to 300$ during the sales leading up to xmas, so you might be able to get a better price if you wait, but who knows when that'll be. For the hard drive, people recommend changing the hard drive to a SSD/HDD hybrid to get better load times. Pure SSD apparently doesn't...

    Oculus Rift

    Vive isn't gonna be any cheaper though, that's just an impossibility. On the other hand, Vive has a lot more stuff in it, so while it may be more expensive, it could be better value. The room scaling lighthouse whatever, which from my understanding will only come later to Occulus with the...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Eh I don't know. Wii U has so far a lot more interesting games than PS4, imo. Obviously it's been out longer but still. Sure it doesn't have CoD or whatever but since I don't play these, or play the PC versions, I actually didn't get much value out of my PS4. I bought it kinda rushed to get the...

    Oculus Rift

    That's not really obvious no. They could have offered a rebate based on the kickstarting amount sure, but giving them free when the minimum kickstarter amount is probably gonna be several hundreds of dollars lower than the cost of the product, on top of the dev kits themselves, that's quite a...

    Oculus Rift

    Well it's a baseline, but in the end it depends on the game and the settings. Like some games will definitely have higher recommended settings than those, so in this case, the best you can afford is probably what you want. Can always hit the graphic quality to keep it smooth though, just like...

    Path of Exile

    And that's still pretty fast. I don't think the 1-100 is too long though, I think it's about right, maybe even too short in some cases(mostly groups), it's just the pre map experience is really annoying but maps start so late now that you're already in the slow leveling part of the whole...

    Oculus Rift

    Yeah that sounds like a decent guess. That's why I'm mostly considering buying the PS4 shitty one first, it won't cost as much(mostly cause I don't need to buy a new PC to use it) and will be nice to check out the whole thing, and then see what the future versions of the rift/vive/whatever if...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah but that's like super far away. Seems the next expansion there won't be more actual act content, just the labyrinth which won't give shit for xp since you can only do it once and it seems it has a fuckton of traps and stuff and you have to backtrack and what not. That's why I think...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah like the old Diablo games. A few bosses get a few new tricks but mostly it's the same, just with a -20resist penalty and high damage/health values to compensate for your level. Then it does it again for Merciless with -60resists, but since it's the last you can stop without finishing in...

    Path of Exile

    Well they want a progression, but yeah it feels really like shit with the multiple difficulties. It's kinda similar in Diablo really, but wish they'd just remove the concept. Make leveling faster, make the story approx 1-60, then start maps at 60 like the old days. Just add more tiles and more...

    Oculus Rift

    Cause apparently it's gonna be a lot more expensive than expected, and considering it was already expensive, I guess they don't want bad press before it starts, or whatever. I don't really see a reason to buy this over the Vive before we know all the specs and prices of both tbh. Even then...

    DOTA 2

    Wanted to check ingame matches for the qualifiers, turns out directed camera is still bugged. Shit hasn't been working since Reborn launched. Works fine most of the time, then it'll randomly bug and gets stuck on one person for like 2minutes, even if the person is dead(just stays on the corpse)...

    Grim Dawn

    Every skill kinda does that if you dump all your points into it, but then it stops scaling as fast once you're maxed. Apparently lategame it's garbage, as is most of the demo tree, but that's just what I read quickly. They'll do a large balance patch before the official release, so stuff should...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Did I miss the part where you said why they can't fire him? I mean he's a white guy so he can't really play the discrimination card, is he like family with someone important?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe the FC house getting destroyed also fucked with the tags? Or did anyone actually prevent that from happening? SE was spamming me with mails to go save my own house, but couldn't be bothered paying a sub just to extend the house for 2months, shit's fucked.

    Yeah seems it's the last one, I don't really remember but checking the wiki it's the last step you have to spend stuff for and unlocks the final arc.

    There's a bunch of meh games on the list. Bravely Second is supposedly not amazing, although still similar to first one enough to be worth playing(assuming you liked first one). Final Fantasy Explorers had very mixed reviews on the japanese version, it's like a pretty poor monster hunter...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm too lazy to check PTR and I never checked every classes, but I know there's a LoN thorns build for crusader that's competitve, WD have a bunch of LoN builds that are better than the sets(in fact iirc the only set that's viable is Jade and then it's just LoN variations), specifically anything...

    Path of Exile

    Considering the PoE servers have been shaky for like a week, I don't know about DDOS, could just be the servers shitting the bed, or his connection. Sucks for him, he had a pretty nice build too.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    LoN is good, for some classes. Due to the variable nature of class legendaries and power levels in general, it's not that good for every class, but it's the best builds for certain classes, or is competitive with class sets at least. It isn't really something you can use efficiently without a...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I did the HC stuff by myself since I couldn't find a plvl either(mind you, it was like 2weeks into the season, I'm sure if you do it 2months into the season it's a ton easier finding overgeared people willing to run you through shit), but it still only took like 4-5hours, normal leveling really...

    Well XI is dead, so it wouldn't make much sense to port it at this point. They're still running the servers but it's not getting any new content anymore(or maybe that's in a few months, but it was announced last year that they were about to stop and just doing one last story arc). Screens...

    The RPG Thread

    They said it will have "HD graphics" though. They might just slap a shitty filter on it and call it a day but it's possible they rework a bunch of stuff. Game has aged like shit tbh, and even with an emulator it looks pretty much like shit. It's right at the wrong time, it's too detailed to...

    Crowfall

    One of the things they mentionned is digging up a basic vessel at the graveyard or whatever. Guess it all depends on the rules of the campaign. I guess on full pvp campaigns, it'll be kinda like UO back in the days where you'd ask someone to TP you to rez up, then you just TPed to your house...

    DOTA 2

    Visage if you're good with it can ruin invoker, high long range damage and CC immune pets to CC him while he's doing his shit. Also fairly tanky to random bursts with the passive and such. Lion's good if you can avoid not dying to him instantly, if he goes orchid and hit you before you hex...

    Steam dun fucked up

    Not sure which part you mean, but it happens relatively often yeah, like when people get "hacked", which is generally reusing passwords/having trojan of some sorts/forgetting to change your pass after you played at a "friend's" house and shit like that. The result varies depending on which...

    Steam dun fucked up

    Also in this case, you wouldn't have gotten your CC numbers stolen. Only thing that could have happened is some idiot buying a bunch of steam games on your account. Then you could just have contacted steam and refunded everything. However it doesn't seem this even happened to anyone, probably...

    Grim Dawn

    There is life leech on items and eventually you can more or less facetank, but hit and run is intended against bosses as melee(just like kiting is intended as ranged) until you have crazy gear. That's why they have the weird regen system and obviously potions.

    There hasn't been a real official word.

They didn't adress the fact personal info was revealed and potentially mined before...

    Even if they had your CC info, all you can see from the cache is the last 2 numbers as far as I could tell, the full CC info isn't in the cached pages. No expiry date, no secret code. While 2numbers is better than nothing, it really doesn't do fuckshit. The more important info would be...

    Grim Dawn

    I thought you could dual wield pistols regardless? I forgot. The legendaries and what not have a lot of unique effects though, including giving you skills that otherwise don't exist. In fact you can make builds that rely on using skills from items or components entirely, with your actual skill...

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah what I meant is, you can buy it now(or well before the sale ends, which is in 2weeks), but you might want to wait a bit on playing it. I know I'll wait some more at least. It's playable atm but there's some potential gamebreaking issues currently with the last content added as well as some...
