    DOTA 2

    The caster pointed out that some of these teams are LoL teams that picked up the game for this tournament. Which is probably why they're awful at denying. OD should win the lane if he denies zeus which is easy when he's banished, yet this OD only had like 10denies in 10minutes. Game 1 was so...

    DOTA 2

    The biggest tell that they're not very experienced is that they do trilanes but don't use them properly. Especially those defensive trilanes that are not pulling. They go kotl SD but they're not pulling/kotl farming easy camp/contesting top runes. They even wasted money dewarding the pull yet...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    He said he doesn't use real money, nothing about not buying stuff on the normal AH which I assume is what he did.

    Well the thing I don't like about subs personally is that you can't check out the games a few months later if you unsubbed without paying again. I wish all sub based games had an automatic feature where if you haven't played for say 3months, they give you 5days free every 3months so you can...

    DOTA 2

    Korean dota starting. So far VERY standard picks/bans. Standard picks(kinda) but weird laning, they sent a wisp rubick ck trilane on offensive, which generally no one does anymore because wisp can't get levels from an offensive trilane most of the time. Luckily they're killing. Lots of small...

    The problem in PoE is you can't find the stat easy. It doesn't pop on most items, pops in small values and competes with better stuff(like ES or life or resists whatever) but mostly the issue is even with a high % recovery, due to CI and stun mechanics you'll still get ministunned all the...

    The air to air and ground to air shit was a mess because there was literally 0 viable options without buying an upgrade, which is why so many people spent money on them. At the same time anyone who spent money on air to ground rockets for ESF or the Dalton(or maybe it was the other one) for the...

    If you tell a basic wow player that he can see the new raid in 2years(1year if you release expansion at a non blizzard pace), it'd probably the same as telling him he won't see it ever. But I agree otherwise, it's just if you're targetting a certain type of "players" you sadly can't gate your...

    I doubt it's viable, unless they added stuff with a lot of stun recovery and even then. Block recovery wouldn't work cause your block% is in general not going to be over 50% if that so you'd still get stun locked. Without Chayula or Unwavering I don't really see it happening.

    DOTA 2

    It's a bug with their servers shit happens every now and then it seems. Might be a drophack though don't know, but the timing is always the same for it when people bitch about it on the forums/reddit, so I'm more leaning toward their servers being shit at times.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Yeah that looked pretty cool, combat looked interesting and a lot of customization in the character, think I'll buy it if the reviews aren't horrible, don't really care if it's not a traditional FF since they haven't made a good one in forever anyway.

    DOTA 2

    HoN, LoL and Dota2 don't send info from the fog. Different game types, but that's how it is. It created issues actually in early beta because every ability coming out of the fog would be considered shot from 0,0 location, which for pudge hook made it look really weird, but they eventually fixed...

    Well you can get a key right now, see my post further up. There's no headstart or anything of the sort, when it's launched you just won't require a key anymore but nothing else is changing, they're not wiping. As for your tutorial problem not sure, but if you don't have a key that might be the...

    Yeah we played together then, probably when I was Psi, I had a Disciple and a Bard too but I think that was before FoH guild stuff(bard was on pvp server).

    I play a lot of games I guess but not everything, I have 0 posts in quite a few threads in other games because I don't play them. The ones I play I do try to learn mechanics, follow the news and stuff like that. And I remember a Raki Paladin but don't know if we played at the same time since Too...

    It's an automatic tool, it's expected that a decent amount of your groups are going to be complete shit. I guess they could add a kick feature but with even group numbers, you wouldn't get a kick vote in a lot of cases. Can still do dungeons with guild people and shit like that. Looking at...

    I've ran all of BRD at "once", which was really like a 5-6hours experience, doing all the quests in there. A lot of the areas were simply completely worthless in terms of loot and were just there for quests. Pretty much half the bosses in there had a single blue in their loot table(that they...

    There's the translation thing that lets you use basic communication even if you don't speak the language, you don't really need to be able to write a book to run a dungeon with people.

    That's not exactly true. For most people, BRD was horrible and for most people BRD was only the king run with a key, you can bet most people who played vanilla wow didn't even know how to get the key. For the few people who post on this board, it was a great dungeon because it wasn't the usual...

    Cross game promotion: They also showed a lot of the zones that are not in the game yet in a PC/PS3 comparison fashion like the old ones, I guess it'll go up later today(was streamed live from japan expo), it had a scholar(but no combat), snowy zones, garland empire zones and cool stuff like...

    There's a new post, apparently the Duty Finder will be in from the start of this test. They still haven't communicated an end date for this test however, so it's possible it'll last longer than usual still. They also released a video showing the duty finder. It's basically what you'd expect...

    Leash reduces the impact of exploration/movement spells like invis and such. I don't really think it adds much other than a way for the casual player to be able to escape fights if they go wrong so they don't get punished by death, but tbh it should either be ability based(give everyone a FD...

    They might improve the ranged area too, but yeah mostly the point is to make it so the melee area, that already exists, isn't as shitty anymore. They could instead decide to remove it entirely and make ranger ranged only, but that's a step backwards however you look at it. It's not like making...

    DOTA 2

    There was some shit that was fixed like 2weeks ago where you could see other player's camera position, which gave you an estimate of their position since most people tend to have their cameras on their own heroes. There is/was also an issue with delay on spec mode where you could have no delay...

    Actually what was linked is all it says, and it specifically mentions that the closing date of the next test will be communicated later on, so we don't know yet if it's a weekend. Since Duty Finder isn't ready from the looks of it, it's quite possible they'll extend the test until it is.

    After playing GW2 I'm not sure it's such a great idea. I liked the Vanguard way though, movement penalty while casting. You can still move but it's not like full speed so you still have the tradeoff move the fuck away/ do damage which I feel is kinda important. It also reduces the impact of...

    Well I think you counter the miss/parry/dodge stuff with class specific mechanics, like you have passives that make your next hit never miss if you miss one, higher hit rate than other classes and stuff like that. The only classes that do this generally are like casters, where they give them...

    What I'd kinda like to see in terms of class design is more major mechanics differences between classes. Some classes use slow paced GCD(2-3seconds) or slow casts, but very impactful abilities, some classes use fast paced combo system(not wow combo but like skill A > skill B or C > skill D...

    The theory on reddit is that it's half in time, which means there's a 6 days phase coming instead of more weekends. We'll know today or tomorrow when they make the announcement on next phase I guess.

    I played Titan Quest like a month ago, it was pretty good. I did play with a mod that rebalances the whole game and adds a lot of stuff though, Soulvizier, so I couldn't tell if the original game was bad but with the mod it was nice and difficult. Overall I liked class customization and char...

    They're resetting all mutes next patch which should be today/tomorrow and adding a different algorythm and some other shit. Since it's still automated it's probably still going to suck to some extent I guess, but for example if you don't get muted for 2weeks it reset your mute counter so you...

    Well from what we've seen, it doesn't take all that long to get to 35 and that's a good way toward 50. Xp might slow down super heavily in the last 10 levels like say Aion, but we don't know that for sure yet. It's a lot closer to vanilla wow than old school mmos like FFXI and EQ in terms of...

    Well I played shadow of the collossus again like a month ago or so since I picked up the HD edition but hadn't played it, and it's definitely great.

    Class distribution changes with the weekends though, I think P4 with the continuous play and the lack of wipe will show better figures than the current ones where people might play a different class each weekend to test them out and shit like that. Also the lack of scholar atm might make the...

    Well they had a lot of plans I'm sure with the original but in the end they didn't do shit, I don't even think they added a single class to 1.0 even though it ran for a pretty long time.

    It'll be a class, and it's confirmed that it's being worked on but they could change their priorities or whatever.
