    This shit isn't even being done in single player games, no way they'd do it in a mmo. Still the basics are important, day/night cycle, randomized weather, that kind of shit is pretty cool and has been done so it can be done again. The theme park mmo concept isn't just the mechanics design of...

    Na that's what I meant, current flow so you drift in one direction if you're not swimming, instead of having "rivers" made of still water. And yeah solo games sometimes have it but I don't think I remember another mmo having it.

    Vanguard had river flow shit iirc, which was mindblowing at the time, and still to this day isn't being done. It also had boats and shit.

    But they cover all the mmorpgs, even the F2P chinese ones no one ever plays. And with such good detailed objective articles too.

    I think main difference is the sheer amount of new players getting put in placement matches which ruins a fuckton more games than it did before. That placement system might be new too though, I don't remember it happening on my smurf but that was like a year ago so maybe it was added inbetween...

    Nice didn't even remember VG had music or if I played with it, but listening to that stuff I did play with it and remember it. Certainly hope they make some good music, even though I might end up turning it off after a while, it's still a great part of a mmo.

    Isn't it terribly unbalanced and shit? I downloaded it but haven't checked it out, do you get to create a high lvl or do you have to import one you've already played?

    Space Hulk for PC, Mac and iOS

    Na never played the board game, and yeah I can see how there's inherent advantages like being able to spawn from ambush points, a lot more movement tiles, turning taking action points because terms are slow as fuck and shit like that, but I don't know it feels very much like any other strategy...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Tera had fairly small hitboxes/collision checks, so far in Wildstar all I've seen are aoe the size of a truck, I think it'll be hard to miss anything but fast moving mobs moving perpendicular to the direction you're facing or something. Probably will have 0 effect on raiding(boss stands...

    Pretty sure you could get the Abaddon weapon + one or two rares for a kunkka one, it's the most valuable, in fact it's the only one that's worth more than the box itself, at least when I checked yesterday.

    If you want to play mid exclusively you should also practice melee heroes, see how they work out and shit, plenty of good melee mids. Current trend is Dragon Knight and Alchemist(nuking build max the stun first instead of the gold passive), but Panda Brewmaster, Nightstalker or Beastmaster are...

    I would assume that's in the lower tiers if you win rate was negative? Abaddon is very strong there because urpdurp have to switch targets when the horsey guy turns green but instead keep attacking and heal him to full. The thing however is he's very strong at higher tiers too, not because...

    I don't remember prices being that high, but maybe dollar was shit back then, I sold my account for like 1500$. Farmed my own GSA too, was actually very easy but I guess being on Darktide where I could kill people stealing my spawns helped a lot with that, think I camped the place for a few days...

    League Of Legends

    Some games are unwinnable. That's just how it is in any team based online game. However you will play an equal amount of unlosable games, maybe you don't recognize them as such and think you are a hero but the paint drinkers aren't always on your team and when they're on the enemy team, you...

    I remember playing the Blood Angel one during summer holidays years ago cause I was stuck at my aunt's place, spent all day playing that and Need For Speed, had the PS1 version. I don't know about turn based though, guess I'll wait to see how it ends up being but I liked the real time aspect...

    There's a few fringe cases with extremely bad players even in very high games. There's a few reasonable explanations though, such as skewed placement matches, when you make a new account, if you do very well your first few games, you get "promoted" very quickly to judge your real skill, which...

    How does Decking interact with Rigger bots, like if you have 2 bots up which reduces your AP by 2 per turn to control them, do you have reduced AP in the Matrix too? I wanted to check but it takes forever to get to a place the decker can dive and wondering if I should go guns instead.

    CC is a bit redundant when you can kill everything though. Mostly I liked having a mage in my team for the buffs and the heal, and sometimes the potential aoe. When he popped I started using the hybrid runner that's like mage/shaman support, he has Haste, Fire Traps, Fog, Armor, Accuracy and...

    I felt like my samurai(10 base armor, +3 buff) was tanking a ton better than the others, but at the same time the others rarely got hit and only by like magic projectiles or shit like that which I don't think armor would do anything against anyway. Also might be biased observation because they...

    you find a meteorite, there's an accident at the lab, whatever

    Meh, even normal humans could deal with you. Put you in a throwaway rocket after sedating you, leave Earth orbit. Then you just float in space forever. Also you die of asphyxiation everytime you resurect, which should be fairly unpleasant, assuming it works like that. Regardless, you're fucked...

    There's a bunch of cheap runners in the Nephilim tab, only 1k each. Might be later. I guess if you're completely out of money that's an issue. I did a bunch of missions with only 1 paid runner and 1 NPC that usually helps you, because I wanted to save money. Guess it's class specific but I could...

    Manta is the highest damage item you can build on medusa other than Rapier if the enemy team doesn't have enough aoe to kill the illusions quickly, because splitshot is inherited. It also has decent damage stats for the price and the movespeed speeds up your farming. Linken is the standard...

    Medusa's item build seems like the standard build. If the player didn't farm the items fast enough that's an issue but not sure why Medusa would build raw damage when the whole point of the hero is that she has the highest autoattack potential IF she can stand in the middle of people and right...

    I've been using traps again, not sure how the mob went through it last time but they do work fine, drop a trap in a chokepoint with multiple tiles and the mob will take fairly high damage from running through it(and the AI doesn't bother going around it seems). Melee is as far as I can tell...

    It's been suggested like years ago that they should add a special base recall that takes a long time to cast(like 1minute cast or some shit) so you can get back to base if some assfuck puts in a spot where you're stuck. It used to be common for people to play darkseer or rubick and get people...

    On balance, I'm not too sure what's the point of Unarmed. I mean first off it's only viable if you use Chi to get Killer Hands(that's the first point though so you can get that easily but if you get a ton of cyberware the cooldown becomes noticeably longer than the duration so it's kinda messed...

    You can disablehelp to prevent that but you kinda need to know before it happens, it definitely sucks. Best solution is asking in all chat for the enemies to kill you by telling them where you are, but in some cases the place cannot be reached easily.

    Rerolled a few times at the start of the game, did that opening area with the flashback and the market stuff like 4 times before I settled down on my current char, melee samurai, nothing fancy. That said the upgrades are pretty slow to come so I think a Chi using melee might have just been...

    So apparently the game is bugged, I finish the mission in the blackbox area thing, talk to the NPC at the end and it just stops, nothing to click, to progress the dialogue further, nothing happening at all.

    Naix jungle kinda works in pubs but that's because pubs are usually very passive about ganking the jungle. Naix jungle is mostly about farming while giving someone a solo lane, but he's stronger in lane anyway. You rarely can gank on Naix cause you use most of your mana using Rage and stuff like...

    How do you change it though, it seems like quite complicated to fix. You have to pick specifically to counter it, can't really counter it once picks are done so last picks brood/furion/AM/whatever to splitpush generally guarantees the strat or at least make it hard to counter. Since you can't go...
