    DOTA 2

    That's stupid, it matches based on the hidden rating, doesn't matter how many games you've played, if you're bad at the game you're bad at the game. The issue lies in the number being shown being bigger even though it's irrelevant and people using it as a measure because whatever. They should...

    DOTA 2

    Because people don't use number of games, but number of wins, which is a terrible value to judge anything. It's like judging player skill based on the number of letters in the name of the player. "What a pleb, he only has 4 letters in his name, I have 12 letters, why am I matched with this...

    DOTA 2

    90% of the whining about wins is retards not understanding ELO-like rating. I guess 10% is just the same shit that was going on before the patch, or worse. But a lot of people are just idiots and don't understand shit. "I have 1000wins and 1200losses, obviously I'm a better player than the guy...

    Not really but they confirmed voice overs will be in for P4. Also they've shown high level screenshots(only 3 screens, one of Garuda, one of lvl 49 FATE and forgot what 3rd one is, think trash), it has Scholars in them, so it seems the class should be done and as such playable. I assume we'll...

    Still probably doesn't matter, unless it's tuned perfectly, people will find ways to exploit the system to make the easiest yet most rewarding dungeon type and farm that non stop. It'll probably involve pathing exploits, spawning only specific mob types that might be weaker to something making...

    Well I guess that's one way to please both the wow fans and the EQ fans. "Make your own fucking games you ingrate fucks". So you can play the "Molten Core easy epics" map, or instead you can play "True men only, Sebilis, 2x pack size, low drop rate". Obviously the issue will probably come from...

    You mean on the market? Maybe not but you can trade for them via usual ways. Specifically, you can trade keys for cards(and obviously buy keys), using any of the trading sites to find people or reddit or wherever. I don't think treats can be traded.

    What about xp penalty if you're solo that is reduced with the number of people in your group.

    EQ Never

    I don't think xp penalty is bad if that class has an inherent bonus to killing shit faster/on its own to compensate. Like if your world is mostly forced grouping, having classes that can solo but have an xp penalty seems like ok design to me. As long as it's a balanced tradeoff I think it'd be...

    DOTA 2

    Everyone can cleave a team more or less as good or better than SKK. Sven/Tiny can do it a lot better. He's not a bad pub hero but he's not great either. Could maybe tweak his int gain/base int/base movespeed or speed up the reincarnation but I don't know. The question in competitive play is why...

    Na'Vi's looking good this year too. Lots of teams are, I think it's going to be a lot better than the previous 2 TIs, there's a bunch of very strong teams and even the less strong teams manage to beat them regularily, there's very few "weak" teams in comparison. On the WCS regionals, are they...

    Well it is pretty retarded of them. Also on a related note, Godz says Valve will be streaming TI3 on Youtube as well as Twitch. Not that it makes much of a difference to me since my connection is shit to both in the evening anyway, so I'll most likely be using the ingame client, but it's maybe...

    Sven and SKK are fairly basic heroes, they're simple to play yet for the most part pretty good. Skeleton King was buffed decently, he's not competitive material I don't think but he's definitely good, and while Sven has fall out of grace I think he still has huge potential. Stats build is...

    I have absolutely no memory of the FFXI crafting, but FFXIV crafting isn't like wow, it's more like EQ2 and Vanguard(recent crafting systems not the original ones). You have a certain amount of points and you either increase quality or progress and you have to deal with complications and use...

    Beta and stuff. Also it came out like what, 2weeks before? But yeah EQ2 wasn't a wow clone at release, it's only after they got pounded into the ground by wow's numbers that they started copying aspects of wow.

    Well the incontrol post on reddit was spot on. Copy pasting: It's just a very stupid decision overall, regardless of the goals. And it certainly won't affect dota2 numbers too much, in fact what is likely to affect dota2 numbers a lot more is the fact it's hosted in the US, which leads to fairly...

    There's actually a thread about the game on this forum, and mostly positive stuff in it. I think it was a pretty good game even though it has several flaws, but for the low price it was well worth it.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah but with inventory and gold being very limited as generally the only guy who buys either, I'll buy sentries most of the time, I find them more useful overall due to dewarding. Inventory is especially a big issue, otherwise I'd carry both and use based on the case. Even for ganking though...
  21. Pyros

    DOTA 2

    Not a big fan of dusts in general, I almost always buy sentries instead cause they double as dewarding and you can drop them in anticipation of an invis hero running into your team, which is important for pushes, plus they last a while in a lane so it makes it hard for an invis hero to farm it...

    Apparently they kicked ComeWithMe out of the team so I wouldn't be surprised if Kaipi dies fairly soonish, unless they had a replacement lined up already. On stealth heroes and new players yeah it's commonly known that stealth heroes, on top of being favorites in lower tiers, are also...

    So Blizzard picked The International 3(dota2 biggest tournament) weekend to hold the WCS regional finals. Feels pretty stupid for people who wanted to watch both and probably gonna hurt viewers for both(not much but still a decent bit).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I was under the impression that every job skill is tied to the job quest line, so that you need to do all the quests to unlock all the skills, unlike normal classes which only have 2(3? not sure if there's a lvl 45 skill quest). So at the very last you have to do that, but otherwise it'd be...

    Shit's pretty random, I've had it happen like 5times in a row but I've also not had it happen in forever so yeah. As for Timbersaw not sure, I guess people pick him atm cause he always wins mid kinda like OD. Reactive armor is stupidly strong in 1vs1 and the aoe saw thing even without a tree...

    Yeah basically ignore WC1, WC2 and WoW, just take whichever part of WC3 you prefer and do that. I think the human part is probably the best in terms of making a "movie for everyone" though, NE(Illidan/Furion shit with the love story with what's her name etc) and Orc stories(Thrall uprising and...

    A dev said that's the actual game code but the early access codes haven't been sent yet and will be at a later date. So entering that code now doesn't really accomplish much as far as I know. I'm keeping it until P4 is over and everything is working fine in case they fuck up their account...

    Considering the writing in blizzard stories, it wouldn't be too hard to make a decent-ish movie. Just go with like the fall of Arthas, it has all the components for a good movie, good looking manly main role, old mentor, sexy but powerful female character and lots of action. Also a nice ending...

    That's the same thing? Or is the lack of a casting bar suddenly makes it an entirely different mechanic? Also not sure which spell you're talking about or if it's a different video, but all the skills where he "had to" stand around had a cast bar. He was also stopping a lot but you can see him...

    You mean like Dark Souls where you can leave messages on the ground and shit? That stuff was actually pretty bad imo. First it would ruin the surprise a lot of the time, then it was also "abused" to leave fake shit. Overall though if you look at Dark Souls, which is a game that strives on...

    Not really, there's a tacit rule about steam sales that you shouldn't buy anything that's not featured as a daily, flash or community sale. Every game will eventually be on one of these and will have a better price at that point, so you shouldn't buy anything not on the list. Usually at the end...

    Well that's why I said if they start soon after. Still I think 3-4ish months is decent enough for a beta assuming you start with most/all the content from the start. Lots of betas take a long time cause they start when the game is 1/3rd finished and they add stuff as they go which needs testing...

    A march release date wouldn't be such a short beta, assuming it starts soonish after the announcement. Say it starts early September, that's 7months of beta until end of march. That's what I'd call a fairly long beta even.

    Last news on the subject, which was from forever ago, is that they're not wiping unless major issue, however since it's old news, it'll need to be confirmed again, which I'm sure they'll do once they announce all the details of the P4. Which they haven't done yet cause it's in at least 2 weeks.

    The first line of the message actually answers that, it says you won't have to register again. On their registration system yeah I don't know how hard it is as I had an old account I think, but I believe they made a simpler system on a new page? It's mostly shitty because they don't link you...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It doesn't say you have to register before the date to participate, it simply says to do so before the date if you want to use older codes. After that it'll probably use a different system, and the servers are gonna be laggy/down as fuck due to people spamming so you'd better do it earlier...

    I wouldn't mind if PvP was zone specific and/or faction specific(soft factions, not horde alliance shit).

    Well that's not that necessary, based on the early arcanist info. As you can see in the summoner skill, what happens when you become a summoner and unlike every other job is it converts your 2 carbuncle spells into 2 summoner pets. As such it's safe to assume that Scholar will get the 2...
