    What's more likely to happen since it's F2P and has content user generation is that it'll go in a fake release state they'll call open beta, which is just release but disguised, where you'll be able to spend your money on shit and that won't be wiped. And that'll last a while, maybe 6months or...

    You get stat points too, which are "hard to acquire bla bla bla modify your damage but also other aspects like melee weapon range or jump height bla bla bla". Really that's basically levels, that and tiers. But it's not an arbitrary number with a certain amount of xp to fill up by grinding a...

    About skills and hotkey bars. "4) Will I be able to enjoy the combat system in game or will I have to have 100 hotbars up to be able to maximize DPS? Will there be a limit to how many skills and spells I can have up at once? - Mr GLory" " This was actually one of my top questions heading...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's group centric, in the sense that it's better xp to level in groups and you have a bunch of storyquests that require a group to complete, but you can solo. Difficulty so far is low, might become hard in endgame but hard to tell.

    Abaddon would be Durable - Support - Lane Support and potentially Carry. He's a terrible initiator, unless you count running into people then looking at them furiously initiation. Frostmourne doesn't really qualify as a disable worth noting when it comes to initiation(it is a great passive, just...

    There's over 200k on the chinese streams too so it's pretty big numbers, even though there's probably a large amount on both game client and twitch. As for Quantic I don't think they played well but mostly they weren't gonna win teamfights easily with their setup, they had a lot of single...

    I thought it was pretty shitty, but I guess matter of taste. Builds up too slow, slightly too repetitive, didn't appeal to me much. Hope the rest of the music is better.

    The stats you get from levels is a fairly minor part of the total stats, like 10% or so, so it won't have a huge effect, plus you might be able to respec points come release or later, in the original you could reset like a few points per week or some shit.

    I'm still going to go for Scholar, their healing shit looks nice and the support buffs look insanely strong if you can do without the healing pet, plus it seems to be less Stone spammy for soloing. The thing though is I'm not sure they'll end up like this in P4, as I said the tooltip for the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And summoning stones were already there. They were simply absolute shit and no one bothered using them ever especially since everyone was bound in Kargath. Summoning stones basically were just a warlock summon, you had to summon 1by1 by having 3 people click the stone for a few seconds, same as...

    Shadowrun Returns

    It is a pretty bigger risk since almost everytime you're in melee range, you're not in cover, while you can kneecap from behind heavy cover. That said it is probably too much of a nerf and melee could use a nerf too, mostly I don't think katanas etc should remove AP as easily on any given hit...

    Right I guess, but at the same time they had just pushed the level cap to 70 when they did that. Not too sure what's the situation with those EQ2 chars vs cap, they're 85 and cap is 90 is that it? Not a big fan of the concept either way, but I guess it's a lot faster to implement than actually...

    New Arcanist shit has been datamined. It's not complete and it might not be fully accurate either(the description of the carbuncles and their skills sets don't really coincide) but it's something. As I kinda expected, Arcanist is not a healer in any way at this point, other than being able to...

    On the Na'Vi thing I don't know the details but basically Na'Vi takes a cut of all the winnings supposedly 10%. At the same time they provide salaries and cover all expenses. I guess in general it's fine but that's a lot of money when it's The International so it kinda makes sense, with that...

    Also to add confusion, Ars-Art replaced Artstyle after TI1 in Na'Vi. Artstyle is currently not playing pro anymore, even though following one of v1lat's random tweet(russian caster, equivalent of tobiwan) that announced a new pro team with legendary names people assumed it'd be...

    Only that wow balance was quantifiable by running parses and theorycrafting optimal DPS. You can't really tell shit about how the mm work, if it's working correctly or not, because you don't have access to anything. I believe it's working fine, just the systems they use for it are shitty by...

    Hmm yeah? It's even legal, check the steam marketplace, even though I guess if you were feeling adventurous you could use D2L or something similar to sell items without giving Valve a cut, but obviously scams galore even with a 3rd party. Note that most of the items aren't actually worth shit...

    Oh yeah not saying it looks bad or anything, but it does say they completely fucked it up the first time around because the engine ran not very well unless you had a top of the line computer iirc, when really they didn't need the game to look that good at the time. Mostly though I like the art...

    Well when they decided to make that shit work on PS3, I guess they had to. The first video showing PS3 footage showed atrocious FPS issues, but the next one was decent(it's still like 30FPS but first video was like 15). It is also kinda an old engine, and yet they reduced the quality(the...

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

    I think ultimately the casual/family types won't buy a new console very often, and most of them already bought the Wii. The Wii U simply didn't offer anything big over the Wii especially for the non gamer types, why would they spend money again when they can still wiggle their Wii stick to play...

    Part of the issue is south american servers have worse pings than US servers for most of south america outside of brazil(where the servers are located) due to shitty routing.

    FFXIV doesn't have much to differentiate itself from the post-wow mmos, other than a good story, a strong IP they abuse properly(magitek armor, lightning event, FFXI classes, Nobuo Uematsu music, monsters from every FF etc) and a slower paced combat, but not that slow.

    They release one new game every 2 years at least. 2007 TF2+Portal, 2008 L4D, 2009 L4D2, 2011 Portal2, 2013 Dota2. Also CS:GO but they didn't make that iirc so probably doesn't count. In the meantime, Blizzard has released SC2 and Diablo3, and a bunch of wow expansions which hardly count as games.
