    I think his idea is to discuss stuff like day/time in there - doesn't appear to accept applications right now however. Can post on the "board" for it w/ a general membership though.

    In other words, they are getting their money back if they didn't want the shifted over policy - it's a completely pointless article. I'm actually dealing with the same (on dental insurance though) right now, and I'm not concerned because the minute I called them and asked what was up with them...

    Doesn't seem like fraud to me besides taking on a false persona on the internet, which is par for the course and allowed. (I'm actually not a disabled white guy FYI - I'm a black Jamaican woman named Lakesha in reality - this Vaclav persona is completely manufactured fraudulently just for SnG)...

    Caravan trainers are on the second person you can select there - you know there are portraits at the top you can select for secondary options, right? And on the lighthouse the statues have 1/2/3/4 marks on the hilt of their sword - you do them in 1/2/3/4 order.

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    Thats more than gamma - the textures seem off as well - although I can't put my finger on how - like slightly smudged on some, others are fine though. Texture on the tide is almost low res in comparison though for example. That's clearly a lower end texture compared to what the PS4 is doing...

    While it may be better on PC graphically (assuming high end video card) - those PS4 gameplay videos are astonishingly beautiful even on my 60" TV - I can't imagine PC being that markedly better. (Although I do fully intend to have both versions)

    Just beat it - great game, very content with being a purchaser - if you think $25-30 was too much for it, you're a bad person and should feel bad. I hope UBI takes notes from the reception of it and starts making full budget M&M's again, because this one with a half-assed budget and...

    "Save it", absolutely not - I said there's a reason to continue innovating to help curb costs. It's why SP nations continue to innovate right now. And it has nothing to do with "capitalism" as a societal thing really - it has everything to do with giving preferential treatment to your...

    Turbo - Focus melee is actually surprisingly nice - especially since they get AE melee magic bonuses pretty often where you can hit an entire group whenever it melees. Not sure if that goes up to 400% (I didn't take it past Expert) but if it does that's nuts.

    I'd be game as well - although my mic is down for the count until I repair my computer which I don't think I'm going to bother with before our move we're working towards at the moment - although we do have a non-PC Skype device I could toy with (USBs on my machine except for the keyboard and...

    All the companies I've dealt with doing similar "pay full and we'll refund it when it checks out" have been very reasonable with it - and Google's got a better rep than anyone for such things from everything I gather.

    I still enjoy busting out my Alarm-o-Rogue with Alarm-o-Bot and Malygos + Headcrack occasionally... it's some hilariously good times. (Plus the normal cadre for critter removal should Maly need protecting) Headcracks for 7 starting on Turn 4 make people really upset it seems.

    Every game, and unlike the others that are in town 2 and 3 it's in your inventory at creation. On Runepriests - they're amazing... Shields are amazing for mitigating any non-magic damage and they can avoid so much with a shield (plus the +4 blocks hireling stacked with a good shield skill...

    Heals do crit, and I've found it quite necessary in the longrun - don't think I could've killed Fire Elemental boss without heal crits personally... no way to heal 250ish on the whole party in a single turn efficiently every single turn without a break to potion without it that I've seen yet.

    BTW Did Fire Shard on my game last night before I went to bed - barely. My party is raping stuff but the Fire Elemental boss is just insane - was about to die in a close fight (literally with a rezz or KO heal every single turn - often on my pally even...) and he killed himself on damage shields.

    Another reason single payers try to remain competitive and innovate as well is to lure in rich internationals that are willing to pay through the nose for the best care for X condition in the world. Cost becomes immaterial to them pretty much, so you can use those willing to pay $200k for a $10k...

    You can get Scrolls from vendors quite frequently - and they last 100 turns vs. 30ish so they're honestly a ton more convenient anyhow. Pyros: What's your 2H showing on the character sheet for his damage? Mine sounds like he's already matching yours non-crit wise 96-153 for what it's listing...

    True enough - although it is interesting that it's listed as a "port to PC" in that article - which often doesn't bode well. But I'll be the first to admit I'm not in the loop on Mantle at all.

    Uplay is the launcher that they use (might not need it if you pirated, no idea there) - they do some achievement stuff that gives you credits for buying promo stuff for the games, etc. Basically UBIsoft's own Steam. (but not nearly as feature laden - the achievement points buying stuff is...

    I'm guessing it's how the Defense mechanics end up working - late Act 2/early Act 3 (it's hard to tell which is which for 100% sure) my Dual Wielder was doing less damage than my sword and boarder was with a UNENCHANTED mace with equivalent skill levels and Might on both on many of his swings...
