Yeah they had mentionned some possible desync changes. There's also another post from Chris in a thread that was about some guy playing D2 for the first time and comparing systems and mechanics between the games and how D2 did a lot of stuff better, and he said in that thread that they had a...

Yeah I guess it's not socket. It's very interesting though because it seems to generate a circle on the skill tree, which I assume will have effect on the nodes within that circle. Can the circle be expanded? What does the circle do? The obvious thing would be to make the nodes within that...

Reddit discovered some hidden info shit from the promotional content, lots of pictures, some might be spoilery, but really that's gonna be everywhere so unless you don't want to see anything, you might as well look. It was accompanied by a May 28th release date, however Chris hopped in the...

Basically by the end of act 3 normal you should have a Staunching flask and always have one forever from then on. Corrupted Blood is deadly if you don't have one and the few mobs with Punctures will also wreck you if you don't play a melee who can tank them to begin with. The flask mods you...

What mods on the map? I generally skipped Zana maps cause most of the time they had shit mods and there was no reason to bother. Like I didn't do a single map with vuln, ele weakness, any of the 3 increase damage mods and I only did a couple of the boss increase ones on the easier bosses. The...

Need a SSD, I never have loading issues with boxes. That said, you also want to "safely" open them, by using skills to move you the fuck out of the area. Smoke mine is a pretty easy to use skill for that, drop a mine away from the box, run to the box and open, press the detonate button(doesn't...

There's also a double xp event at specific hours, euro hours this weekend(was US last 2 weekends), it's double xp for 4hours. UTC/GMT 6:00pm ~ 10:00pm PDT 11:00am ~ 3:00pm EST 2:00pm ~ 6:00pm Hope they do more of that shit the next beta, I'll need some double FP/XP weekends to level my...

Yeah the health/mana bar over your head is really nice as I sometimes lose track of my health, especially when doing maps with poison clouds(hard to tell when you're right on the edge or out so you have to check your life going down) or like shooting offscreen into a nemesis corrupted blood boss...

The fatigue thing is killing me, I wish I could play my favorite characters more. I mean I'm making alts and shit but it's pretty boring having to play like 3hours then switch to another class. I also wish they added the new classes already, I really want to play Kunoichi, one of the female...

More like in a month. Chris said he's on a flight to the US atm *wink wink*, which means they're starting the promotion stuff for a week, so we'll probably get some real news next friday when the NDA is lifted for journalists and stuff. After that, expect one month more to go, or at least that's...

Dungeons are better xp now, but DPS still gets shit queues so it's like, queue dungeons then do fates/leves/log. There's also a daily quest to do a random low level dungeon that gives close to a level worth of xp counting the dungeon xp too, so that's pretty nice, and a daily for guildhests...

It's Kaom, not Koam. And yeah he's basically the old Karui king, Karui being the Marauder guys, big muscly tribal guys, which are really just the Maori from New Zealand. They mostly fell to the corruption when they came to Wraeclast to wage war against Emperor Chitus, sometimes during the...

One good example would be the last raid fight in the game, turn 13. At some point, dragons appear on the edge of the arenas, then a few seconds later, will dive across. You have to look at where the dragons are and move out of their way, but there's no ground telegraph to tell you where they'll...

Yeah that teaser too, though no details provided, but it'll probably finally be the "big unique summon" like Golem in D2. They added Animate Guardian but it was kinda meh, and they ended up having to add Animate Guardian crafting mod to get the gear back and even then most people don't bother...

Best feature for an ARPG to be added for Act 4, Item Filters: Forum - Announcements - Item Filters - Path of Exile It's script based, so entirely customizable, can change color or add sounds alerts to certain drops, and can white list or black list everything so it only displays stuff that...

BLM's kinda one of the cheaper ones though, since you can tri stat at pretty much no loss, and spellspeed IV is cheaper than det/crit if you want to max one too. Not quite the same when you're a bard for example and skill speed is pure garbage and so is every other stats, you can skip accuracy...

Lag is cause when you play multiplayer, it does peer to peer, so it really depends on who you play. Can be really shitty yeah. Same when you group with people. And yeah PvP has its own balance, it's kinda serious in korea they actually have tournaments and shit, it's small scale obviously but...

Well sometimes it's the server/normal connection issues, but DDoSing is pretty common nowadays in any online competitive game it seems. Hearthstone tournaments tend to be streamed either several hours or even days after they're played because if they do it live, there's almost always one guy...

They're a nice source of garbage free gear, and some gold, but that's about it. They're not particularily good xp and they're almost all terrible, it's just the usual mmo quest grind stuff for people who would rather solo to cap. If you're a class that gets fast dungeon queues, dungeons are way...

Hmm not sure how it works during the free month, but the basic sub only has 1 char slot per server and 8total. You then pay like 1$ a month more or whatever to upgrade to 8/40. Which is great since one char is enough for the most part and that makes the sub actually cheaper. So maybe you're just...

You can make perfect combat stats. Dialogue stats is something else, but there's pretty much always a combat resolution available to every problem, dialogue stuff only lets you bypass some combat and maybe get different/better rewards, but if you have a kill squad, you can mow down everything...

Carpenter is kinda meh. In general, crafting is an endgame thing, you don't need crafted gear to level and the low level prices mats aren't even that affordable for a minor bonus over just garbage NPC vendor gear or quest rewards, and equal or worse than dungeon gear. Crafting endgame is...

Yeah it's not a very good multiplayer game, other than the pvp. It's pretty fun to play on your own though, me and a buddy are looking forward to the beta coming back especially the newer improved version. There's just no game in this genre anymore almost, even though it's really fun. Sadly...

It's both. You recruit NPCs that have personalities, dialogues, quests and such, but you can also recruit NPCs you make yourself once you unlock your stronghold/town thing, so if you don't like the premade NPCs, you can just make one with the perfect stats and stuff. Obviously they don't come...

I'm not sure there's any link between those 2 elements. A game that has a faster pace in movement by having dodge rolls is more likely to also have a faster pace in combat with a lower GCD/fast animation locks. A game with no fast movement doesn't necessarily needs more speed. Sure it can be...

I mentionned Final Coil because it is the hardest raid and as such as the most complicated mechanics(though T9 and T5 are up there also). The fights aren't easy, but they not made hard because you have to move and heal at the same time, but simply because you have to move at all, and the fight...

I don't think that's true at all though. You do have to run, but only a very specific times in a fight in general, and at least for healing, there's on very key component to these phases that you don't see in other games: bosses actually cast their spells. They don't just shit a ground marker...

Even back then you spammed Impulse Drive, you just needed to stay behind mobs to get full damage but that wasn't very hard unless the tank was an idiot and flipped shit around constantly, or you pulled aggro. Now you don't even care anymore. It gets better as you level up though and the...

Some classes are certainly more boring than others all the way through. Paladins is the most obvious, but some others too. People find BLM boring, even though the fact it hinges so much on limiting movement and managing your random procs well makes it actually quite interesting to me(but you...

Rogues are apparently good damage dealers and good debuffers, but they take specific group setups to play well and are still at risk of dying easily, which ranged chars aren't. Can also do ranged rogues though, which apparently do very good damage. Good thing about this game is you don't...

Wait for april 10th, start of season 3, then play. Or if you don't want to do season, wait until april 5th for 2.2 patch at least, since it has a bunch of new stuff. Though I guess you could start playing now if you need to be leveling and don't want to do season 3.

Anything that had world pvp/FFA pvp, as opposed to battlegrounds/arena type gameplay. Though obviously, you could argue that's just as real pvp as any other sort of pvp, but generally real pvp means random forced pvp, in opposition to consensual pvp.

What's the point of any season? 2months seems good for a season, I don't feel it's too short. PoE does 4months leagues but a lot of people are done with them by the first month anyway, and that's why they also run races and 1month leagues and shit like that.

It's unique. It uses fairly standard RPG stuff from what I have seen and it has an ingame encyclopedia thing where you can read about every mechanics in detail with hyperlinks and shit. So you can look up DR(damage reduction), then it'll tell you how it reduces damage and you can click damage to...

You can bind a bunch of stuff to your mouse too, I know people have those fancy mouses(mice?) now with a bunch of side buttons where you could bind all your items and what not. I know I don't really have the room to put 4 camera controls in my wasd area, it's already filled with shit, and I...

Thing is you can do camera binds and minimap clicks with keyboard camera, these are pretty unrelated. Not sure what's snap commands. Overall, having your left hand adjust camera while you position your mouse on your target right away does sound more optimal than flicking your wrist to move the...

Well you're missing buttons to use for items shortcuts+abilities. 1-4 doesn't cut it when heroes have up to 6 abilities and you can have up to 6 activated items, plus vendor shortcuts and so on. If you can fit it, there isn't much of a difference I think as long as you can set the scrolling...

Well it won't happen soon, the game will still run on life support for a while, so I wouldn't expect people to start moving until next year at the very earliest and probably even later. They also don't have much to go to, FFXI is an old gen mmo like EQ, most people who still play FFXI do so...

Sadly it seems Steam users are getting fucked on that and you can only apply a steam key, which I think you can only buy from steam itself, and not sure they'll do any price cut on that. I got mine from GMG earlier, got the mail giving the voucher, figured I wouldn't be able to find it lower...

In other unrelated news, it seems FFXI is ending. They're preparing a last expansion over 3 major patches this year, but after march 2016 they're dropping all support for PS2 and Xbox360 and aren't going to be release content anymore even on PC, just balance adjustments and I assume server...
