    Support Sven and support Medusa aren't the same thing at all. Medusa is a fucking terrible support. Her only decent "support" spell is her ultimate. Everything else is completely fucking worthless other than carrying, the snake does shit dmg unless you meet specific conditions and doesn't have...

    No item rarity doesn't help, item quantity increases the chance of dropping more currency though. You're better off buying items than making them in most cases.

    TERA

    Mystic isn't so bad early on, it's the scaling and shit that sucks eventually. Early levels you can get 10mobs and aoe them down with that wave shit thing and it kills them super fast and the self healing means you have no downtime anyway, but once you get to the point where you get knocked down...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Don't know about hipsters, but it's certainly become a lot more popular over the last few years here(France). A lot of high quality patisseries selling macarons of all sorts, and specifically making room to add more macarons over other types of stuff. Shit's expensive as fuck, and totally not...

    Brutus 3k is fine, just don't facetank too much. Pop granites if you get hooked, mostly stay at range and kill him from these, moving inbetween spells to avoid his ground slam blood wave thing. Merveil is herp derp, just max cold. Sub bosses in act2 don't really matter, if you need to kite Oak...

    Tbh about anything with anything works fine. Stacking different auras is helpful but other than that and having a conduit build in a larger group to share charges, it doesn't really matter much.

    Loot is FFA, but rare/uniques are assigned randomly to certain players for 2+secs for them to pickup, before they also turn FFA. And mostly you want people to maximize the currency drops to be able to roll the other maps. Maps themselves drop at the same rate regardless, which is why the issue...

    Well first the thing to understand is this "issue" only is an issue because of the current lack of level appropriate content and people trying to level to 100 still. The game is not finished, act3x(more stuff before the real end of act3) as well as act4 are already in the works even though it'll...

    Ah the chat ones are actually not very intuitive I agree. To click items you need to open the chat(enter). Otherwise the chat is click through, I guess to prevent accidentally clicking an item while playing or something. To link it's ctrl+alt+click when the chat is open. Ctrl+enter to reply...

    Made these builds quickly, there's probably some optimization and as I said there's variations, I haven't ran all the variations to figure out which is the most efficient and stuff like that. That's really where PoE shines, making builds. While I haven't played in a couple of weeks, I still...

    For the other builds, it's more vague and there's a few ways to do the same thing. Well not bard, not happening for that, there's isn't really any similar mechanics besides Conduit sharing but that's not really close at all. For teleporting monk, there's a few variations. For example you...

    Detonate dead(corpse explosion) build: A standard fire/aoe templar build. Could do a witch or marauder variation, possibly Shadow too but there is no real need for crits I feel. Most of the specifics for detonate are gonna be done skill based. Detonate Dead does 18% of a corpse. +119% dmg...

    Tbh, normal is balanced around being easy regardless of what you do. Cruel is a bit harder, Merciless is where it starts getting serious. Thing is it doesn't take very long to clear the first 2 modes later on when rerolling and shit, I can generally do all of normal in about 2h30 or so and all...

    It still means that every attack that connects properly doesn't then roll a miss and do no dmg. Even if you desync a lot, it's still a good passive. Max hit rate is 95%, and that requires such a stupid amount of accuracy at higher levels that you wouldn't even reach that most of the time anyway...

    God I have no idea how you can find the UI unintuitive or not find basic stuff. The xp bar is where every xp bar is ever, at the bottom of the screen. Your stats are where every stats are in every game, in the character screen, which is fairly detailed. Moving potions involves the same thing as...

    Vanilla wow had some things that were better than modern wow(well last time I played). Most of it was absolute fucking bullshit and anyone with an ounce of memory remembers, it's like how when people talk about good ole EQ times. Consumables situation, 40man raiding, molten core, 50g respecs...

    I meant changed in D3, it certainly hasn't changed in PoE. However golem charges are buggy as fuck and desync basically on every cast so you're insanely lucky if you can dodge one reactively. If you're already moving you'll generally avoid them, but otherwise you get hit even when you see...

    EQ Never

    Well first off, you can define your character by other factors than classes, mostly by story driven questlines and by race, which tends to be a cosmetic choice in most mmos but could instead be a major choice if you designed it that way. Second, class-less doesn't necessarily mean without...

    The problem with this logic in the PC world is there's always going to be something better a few months later and the prices will always go down. It's like waiting to upgrade your GFX, shit never ends. Have to just jump the gun at some point and buy it even though whatever you buy will probably...

    Check any video about racing or a stream of someone racing. There's quite a few tips you can get from these, and it's also a lot faster when doing it in non-race conditions with items and stuff. Tuco on the builds and gameplay and stuff, it does tend to be basic. A lot of people don't make...

    Don't think it'll increase your chances a lot more other than having 2 accounts signed up for beta, which can't really hurt.

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    I finished this game in the past few days and yeah the handholding was very annoying. My main complaints were those unnecessary dialogues "Eh Oliver there's an ice stalagmite blocking the path, maybe you should find a spell that could help us do something with this ICE. You know, like maybe a...

    Yeah I posted videos of that build, well my variation which is single arrow with prolif/chance to ignite spreading burns, but the build is pretty fun and very strong.

    Path of Exile

    I find reflect to be mostly an issue when you play EK which can creates super large amount of burst due to the aoe factor and high base dmg per cast. As a melee for example I don't find it to be much of an issue because it's unlikely you'll be hitting as many targets anyway. I guess it could...

    The current fotm strongest specs would be ultra tanky freezing pulse or ethereal knives caster(FP is better imo, safer against reflect, safer in general due to freeze/chill), dual spark totem variations(summoner and traps mixed in) and lightning arrow archers builds. Melees are simply at a big...

    Do any good video game movies exist?

    Or worse, they could be making a movie about Other M. But yeah the main issue is taking stories of video games and trying to make them mainstream, or simply taking video games that don't need to be made into a movie because the story sucks to begin with(like DoA, Doom or Super Mario).

    You can make a claw weapon dual wield shadow/ranger with whirlding blades and/or flickerstrike and do something very similar, however as pointed out, it will require very very good gear to be even remotely viable because of the current mechanics. While the game is great and has a lot of depth...

    I would argue against D3, mostly because I find PoE to be the superior game, yes the animations and the way it plays are low budget because it's a small studio, at the same time the game didn't release like a piece of shit then took 10months to be finished even though D3 was made with like what...

    I think he's talking about XIII "3" Lightning Returns or whatever. They do have a tendency of doing -2s now and while they're pretty good in general(X2 had the awful jpop thing mixed in but otherwise had very cool combat and XIII2 is supposedly very good even though I haven't played it), usually...

    Obviously the MOBA style of gameplay is close to every RPG since it is basically the SC/WAR3 hero concept where you have a class that progresses and unlock skills. The difference is in the limited scope and the amount of "classes". You seem to believe that they will add new skills to existing...

    It's more like there wasn't that much information on the game until recently, some vague stuff and some general trailer like videos(the original trailer was pretty well received iirc on the FoH forums). Recently though they've been going into PR mode since beta is about to start and they want to...

    That's why I said the rest looks decent enough, the moba copy is most likely a fucking terrible idea though because unless your balance is excelent(very unlikely) or your choice of frames is insane(which won't happen for a while), then you'll run into the issue of having every fucking one...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah most likely but it can come with balancing downsides(spell does 30% less damage) and it gives a chance for a power charge, not guaranteed so while you'll have a high crit % with passives and full power charges, it can still drop it then rebuilding will take a while. A new way to get power...

    That is why in a sense, it is better than in other games(even though they added other types of random events and some quests too last time I checked). Their core game is about thumping. It however also links everything about harvesting with killing stuff. Thumping is basically generating your...

    Well I guess they tested super high prices for cosmetics shit in WoW, fee on every item transaction and real money transactions with D3, so I guess what's left is death by a thousand microtransaction tests with this new thing, and then Titan preparing tests will be over.

    Wow it's like they have no fucking idea what they're doing and just remade the entire system yet again, this time worse than the previous one somehow I think by copying dota-likes, down to being able to buy frames for real money instead of grinding, LoL style. At least the other changes looked...
