    Mine say 75% Darksouls 7.50euros and 85% Bastion 2euros. Kinda tempted to grab Dark Souls to see the DLC content and just replay the game. Since I picked up Scriblenauts and Dota2 is probably patching a new hero this week I guess I'll just wait until it comes back again at the end of the sale or...

    Spirit Breaker as a support sounds kinda meh but could work I guess. Abaddon who's coming tonight is a good support if you wanna dive shit(in HoN he was Accursed), Nyx is nice to find solo kills even when you're playing as a support(if you played HoN, Nyx is the hero Fayde was inspired by, even...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    He mentions the "LoL way" of targetting, which might not be from LoL but iirc I remember it being added there before I knew, where you press the key and as long as you hold it, you see the marker, and it fires on release. Hopefully this is optional(firing on keypress is better) but it lets you...

    He's a pretty decent mid too. His armor is kinda shit but the shield blocks a lot of damage and removes a lot of annoying shit like QoP's dot and he can push the lane really hard using his passive on creeps, kinda like Beastmaster aura plus the shield explosion, then his high base movespeed lets...

    Well it's mostly group content and classes getting better to play as you get more skills, but it's not like a super big change I think.

    Iirc in HoN they also made his shield not remove stuns anymore, which is a huge nerf. Your carry gets roared? Np just shield to dispel. Also yeah his ult autoactivation is a big deal especially since unlike hon it also disjoints on activation. One funny interaction is that it self dispels Doom...

    Considering there is no info about this game, this thread has basically been the armchair dev thread like the greenmangaming one was on FoH. Shit had like a billion posts even though nothing about the game was known and it eventually didn't even release after the amalur shit. Tons of posts are...

    On the other hand, Fnatic is on a roll recently. They're beating everyone in a lot of very one sided stomps with a really fun to watch super agressive style that reminds me of their hon days. They're not on the level of Alliance and Na'Vi I think, but if they play like that at TI3 I wouldn't be...

    DOTA 2

    Because he's the first hero being released in the past 2 months? Also because he's a support and I like supports. As for his competitive level, he was sometimes picked, rarely. He's basically a cockblock hero when you try to gank a hard carry or whatever. You need very good burst to kill...

    Hopefully P4 client will have the Arcanist spells in the files to be datamined, so we'll know more. But since it's most likely not going to be available it's pretty safe to assume summoners will go THM in the meantime and scholars will go CNJ, if only for the job unlock quest requirement(need...

    The dates stuff was just a statement, no meaning behind it, I guess it looks like I got defensive about a joke but I guess it's more like I got confrontational because of the next statement and figured I'd tackle things in order. Mostly I don't get your innovation statement. There are...

    It's also absolutely unnecessary considering how easy it is to backstab. That's why I'm glad in DS2 they're nerfing backstabs, people should learn how to parry or work hard to backstab depending on their style, in DS1 it's pretty much pointless to parry besides speeding up certain mobs and the...

    Wonder if you'll be able to focus on one of the guys or if you'll have to play all 3 equally, you can see in the trailer how you can switch between them and how missions use all of them but do you have to do that or are they like played by AIs if you don't wanna bother. I'd rather follow one guy...

    Hmm if you take a simple example, Planetside 2, which most likely they'll copy, it has realistic graphics. There's a difference between looking realistic, which most modern shooter do, and having realistic mechanics which seems to be your problem with Arma, not the fact it looks too realistic...

    Well first you can look at the dates and see they were played 2years ago. On your second point, are we talking about the same game? Picks change all the time, new strats are added all the time. 3-4months ago no one played Treant, now he's top pick/ban. Naga Siren as a support in trilanes since...

    I wouldn't mind if they were resetting stats but keeping the hidden rating. Mostly I dislike that early in the beta when there were very very few keys around(200-300ppl online) I lent my account to a friend so he could play so now I have stats for heroes I don't play. But whatever I guess not a...

    Right I don't think Panda is too hard and I've had his ult a couple of times on Rubick I know it's not too hard, however I also know his skills perfectly and I never play mid so there's very little point for me to pick him really. I don't think any hero is too hard other than Meepo which is way...

    Not sure which part is funny, the additional gold being cheesy or the fact I haven't played every heroes? The list isn't very long, there's Panda, Meepo, Invoker and Medusa. Panda partly and Meepo entirely because they're micro based so I don't wanna bother(I've played Chen, Visage and...

    There's some heroes I've never even played. That's why I don't random, also dislike the gold advantage it feels cheesy if you random a strong hero you're good at.

    You don't warp around nearly as fast as a monk in D3 than you do in PoE. But their netcode method was stronger, however they were doing it(some of it was client side and what not while PoE checks the server a lot). Also iirc it's a lot harder to get boxed in D3, so movement rubberband from...

    Well no one has seen endgame content so we can't 100% say Bard will be needed, but based on 1.0 players tests and based on obvious observations like the fact classes run out of TP fairly quickly, raid bosses are probably going to exceed these and only a few classes get access to the Lancer TP...

    Even if it's faceroll it's likely the TP regen will be essential to faceroll shit faster anyway, plus BRD does fairly decent dmg and also provide that +10%dmg taken debuff so that's even more dmg. In 4man groups(leveling content) it won't be that needed, but you can just not cast songs and do...

    http://dota2lounge.com/ You can bet on a favored team and get items, but you won't get many obviously, especially when the % to win is very high. Like Alliance games, betting on alliance generally gives you very little. I just started betting on this cause I figure I don't use most of my...

    The way I see it, Ninja is going to be DPS. Even if it was tank though I don't think it'd have the same impact with the different mechanics and stuff. It could be an evasion based tank with Utsusemi as a long cooldown to block some hits sometimes to get your health back up or what not. Also...

    He's a good carry though, the problem is his team can't do shit most of the time if he goes afk farm to try to carry lategame. Especially these past few days they've went a lot of 1+4 setups with fear being the only real carry, but they can't handle that shit at all. Jeyo was ok as a carry but...

    Daillies are fine if they're for like catching up gear(one or two tier lower than current raid tier), cosmetics nonsense(Help the Moogle faction to unlock a Caithsith mount!) or alt/new player progression.

    Well combat certainly won't magically be different when you acquire most abilities at low level and a lot of job abilities are situational and/or cooldown heavy, combat at 30 is for all intent and purposes what it's gonna be at 50 and since there is no "renkei" or group limit breaks or anything...

    Servers have been shitty all day, not too surprised but sucks. Hope they can get a save, but at the same time would probably be a better game if Iccup starts from scratch again and maybe don't feed 4kills right away.

    I don't remember the values but I didn't feel like GW2 xp boosts were any useful and worth their cost.

    How to do damage as a CNJ: make sure to use your instant knockback on pull, preferably on the mob the tank targetted first. It does good damage and isn't annoying at all. But in the early dungeons shit doesn't die that fast that you can't get a stone or two off on each mob. The issue mostly is...
