    Merc Elite: new MOBA

    Took 3rd key, tried for 10mins or so, played 2 games. First, it's definitely MOBA in the real sense of the term, it's not like dota or lol at all, it's more like bloodlines champions or stuff like that, only goal is to hold the points to tick the enemy tickets down. Second balance looked...

    DOTA 2

    Assuming that's possible sure. Thing though is it should automatically discard enemy reports if you haven't talked in all chat during the game(remove last 30secs-1min in case you say gg and you get reported for that). Can do a bunch of shit for team reports but overall if you get reported by...

    DOTA 2

    Thing is if you have a retard spamming mic, you report him for that, and he hasn't typed anything and it's not like they can check audio so yeah.

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    Name comes from Ultima 8: I know it's not really a good Ultima but it was the first one I played and I liked it regardless.

    Na, "feature". You're considered afk if you haven't gained xp for the past 5mins, to prevent people hiding in the woods and going afk. Downside of this system is in some very rare cases, it flags supports who are not doing shit for a long period of time, or people stacking ancients but not...

    DOTA 2

    At a pub level a great TA player will still wreck a shitty counter, and TA is a very snowballish hero so if you get a good start somehow, you can rape the rest of the game single handedly. But yeah she has counters, back when TA was considered first pick, Dark Seer was the most common counter...

    DOTA 2

    She has a few counters but mostly she disapeared because the nerf hurt her laning a lot, it increases the mana cost on refraction by like 20, which is a huge amount for a spell you're supposed to spam to win your lane. Also bottle crow was nerfed after that and that didn't help. She's still...

    FIVE times? Come back when you've died 50 ^^ Mostly just keep trying until you can read most of their movements. Killing fast guy first is easiest iirc, because he's brutal in phase2 while fatty is about just as shitty. In P2 on fatty just kite around and force him into jumping on his ass or...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I guess the main reason is to create a "community" sense of some sort that disapeared with the server transfers and the massive amount of people playing and shit. So instead of being from a specific server, you're from the Horde or the Alliance, and even if you server transfer you're still part...

    If you die a lot I guess repairs pile up. Or if you repair even though you're gonna replace the gear 20mins later from a new quest reward. And yeah if you update your gear everytime you can from vendors, instead of just doing the quests that reward the same gear for free anyway. I can see these...

    You get a retainer I think it was around lvl 20, from the main storyquest. Pretty much every feature in the game is unlocked this way so just going through the story quests will get you all the things and kinda explain them. Like you get inn/leves at 12, airpass at 15, materias at 17-18...

    DOTA 2

    Maybe early on it wasn't, been like that for several years though. I guess before 6.48 or so it was still not icefrog doing everything and it was hosted somewhere else and shit so it wouldn't be linked then.

    DOTA 2

    When you load dota, the loading screen isn't a WC3 loading screen, it's a cool looking illustration of heroes by kunkka, and there's usually stuff about who won the last major tournaments and the playdota website. Also technically to download the dota map you have to go to playdota usually.

    Actually part of it was. Not the story as in storywriting, but the story as in the world events ran by GMs and shit. When a GM played Baelzharon or whatever which was the evil god of the game and recruited our fellowship under him and started raining meteors all over the place, it was definitely...

    DOTA 2

    Well I don't think the genre is for everyone, if you tried it a few times and don't like it then that's that, just like people don't like Minecraft or MMOs or whatever else. When I started I played with friends a lot so they showed me the ropes and the type of game is basically perfect for...

    Yeah as I said the hard numbers and shit came later in the thread, I had read the thread I think it was on saturday after I was done playing and there was this thread and another that were bitching and crying about the bard state, so my impression based on that was that the class was getting...

    This was one of the threads, I see they added some shit after I checked it out though, so apparently you don't get the effect of your mp song as a BRD, which I assume is to prevent maintaining it almost forever. There was another thread but I couldn't find it, this one I already had to dig...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's a bunch of threads on the forums about people complaining about the bard songs. Basically, they consume too much MP over time, so you can't play a song permanently, you actually have to stop playing for a decent bit for mp to regen, exact numbers I'm not sure but one guy was saying he...

    The problem, as someone pointed out before is even if they drop the GCD or you get tons of gear that drops the GCD, you'll still run out of TP eventually and then it's thumbletwindling time again, actually for longer. They do need something to regen TP, maybe pots? I think there's only potions...

    I don't see a boom of any sort happening. The current situation isn't like mmos with LoL being EQ and a new gen is coming up to dethrone the king. LoL is WoW. The only "boom" you'll see is a boom of trash budget mobas trying to cash in on the money hats Riot is printing by copying LoL and adding...

    I don't think you can swap gear by macros in this? Think you can only use the gear set swaps, which is like a respec so it puts all your shit on 30secs cooldown, which obviously isn't gonna help you get more DPS. I haven't looked into it in details though.

    Even warrior wasn't that fast until Fury took off, which was BWL/AQ or so but in MC and early BWL warriors were like MS arms build and you were rage starved all the fucking time anyway. Hunter was Aimed Shot spam so that was slow as fuck, rogues had plenty of energy issues so their 1s GCD was...

    Problem I've seen about focusing on gathering/crafting is leves are gated through a combat leve unlock quest thing in each zone, so you need to be able to complete it to unlock the related gather/craft leves. Guess you could get someone to clear them for you but still a bit annoying. I might...

    DOTA 2

    Combat Lina is actually pretty good, her attackpoint is awful early game though and farming with spells isn't very reliable unless you're mid and bottle crow or somehow control the runes. Assuming you do farm and people let you, it's pretty strong, skip leveling the stun to focus on the...

    Yeah Marlboro was low pop. I leveled my THM on an euro server since friends wanted to play on that instead and there were a lot more people there, and even that server wasn't one of the highest pop. Finding groups for dungeons shouldn't be an issue once they add the duty finder, but the problem...

    There's a good WAR vs PLD thread on the official beta forums, with a lot of lvl 50 testing shit around. Interesting parts is that as expected PLD is very boring to play, even if adequate, as you mostly rely on your main combo that you spam in all and every situation, weaving in flash for aoe...

    Thing that looked cool was that once you become a Warrior, you get access to an entire new mechanic that's basically combo points, so it plays quite a lot differently I assume, at least your rotations change a bit(since rotation generates combo points and when you have 5 you pop specific WAR...

    Oh that's interesting, I forgot to test that shit, will try next beta if I can get a 2nd key, I wanna see how dual logging works with this. As for Arcanist yeah don't think they said it'd be up for P4, even though they're not wiping, so that's a bit weird. Guess it'd be a good time to level...

    I guess you'll have to make good use of macros with a gamepad, and probably just drop a lot of shit. Like if you look at basic WHM stuff, it's not that many slots, 3 cures, 1stoneskin, 2aoe heals, esuna, regen, that's basically all your spells. Maybe Aero and Stone 2 if you need to do some dmg...

    Hmm right if everyone heals themselves it'd work out too, but the 2 dungeons I've done as a THM, it seems only one guy in each had CNJ at all, so they'd stay at low health(not even drinking potions which are worth jackshit and you get 40s of during quests) so yeah. But I've heard of groups...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I think gamepad will show its limits once raids start and you have to heal 24people without a decent way to target people. With that said it might be facilitated by UI stuff(priority on people not at full health and being able to set various focused targets for tank healing or whatever) or just...

    Legacy has the same content besides the jobs, so all they can do is brayfox with level syncing down. Or maybe some FATE in higher level zones I don't know if they're active, you could in theory do these too on normal servers though. And yeah I don't know if they're running out of time or...

    Imagine you play with 4 NPCs, that are played by humans, and you have to escort them, by which it means they're on your team and you need to kill 5 other players and destroy their base, and you do all this for 40+ minutes or maybe 20. Can't really find more accurate description of the genre.

    The ferry is just bugged, they forgot to set the value of the ticket down when they changed gil numbers in 2.0, so it costs 55k to buy a ticket, when it should probably cost like 550. Even 5500 I could see. On the CNJ stuff, it was from last week. They buffed it quite a lot, it does...

    Yeah absolutely no point, there's a competitive forum for specific tournaments if people want to do that, and there's 2 major threads for each game.

    At the price it's sold I'm fine with even just getting one month(or a couple of weeks) of fun out of it. But I guess it depends on people, some won't find that fun, I liked leveling and following the story and class quests so far so I'm ok.
