    Defiance

    While alphas start earlier than betas, they often continue along with beta to test stuff internally before it's sent to a larger playerbase where NDA tends to be less respected or lifted. This is the case for most mmos at least, I've been in alpha for Rift and GW2 and both had alphas up to the...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Archer Lancer Conjurer and Gladiator is what they're doing P1 and P2 with. P3 will have all classes(also all cities, currently only one city so rerolls/lvling other classes is pretty shitty).

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    PS3 is phase3, so not before like may or some shit. Phase2 is apparently only a few additions and gamepad PC support(gamepad interface, mapping and whatever else).

    DOTA 2

    PL was kinda fine before, he was buffed, probably too strong now, he'll get nerfed back eventually. Interestingly a few years ago PL was considered a really late game pick and only that, but also a few years ago people didn't manage to farm as much as now(both due to skill, playstyle and...

    Path of Exile

    Was a while ago though at launch with clarity and such. Cruel gems aren't worth it, you need to lvl to 20 to enter cruel, which is dumb and slow as fuck and also hard to multibox efficiently unless you replicate keypresses and shit but I don't wanna bother. For normal though it takes less than...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Seems like exactly the same footage as the longer interview that was posted earlier. Maybe a few new shots but quickly moving through the video it was all stuff I'd seen. Still no gameplay footage.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There's english servers, but a lot of people would rather play on "international" servers than on their own servers, myself included. And yes my accent is complete shit but whatever. Most guilds on english servers are a mix of UK and nordics(swedish/danish people) with a few...

    Path of Exile

    Fire does ok damage if you have a Searing Touch. Just use 2 fire traps and fireball with conc effect and LMP or GMP. If you're having issues most likely it's a gear issue, like not having a 5L or a good searing touch. I'd use the 5L chest for fireball, like Fireball, Conc Effect, Faster Casting...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Interesting video. The animations looked absolutely awful, like they looked ok in a vacuum but then the characters move at the same time and it's like all models sliding around and shit, like it's designed for static standing still and beat each other gameplay. Also even though they showed a lot...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Just watched Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, it was really great, slow paced daily life type of movie about a mother who has to raise her 2 kids alone with a fantasy twist mixed in about werewolves. Great animation, great story, was a bit surprised since it was in my backlog of stuff I usually...

    DOTA 2

    Well it's quite a bit more than that, I mean there's the deficit for the player who dies(both the gold he loses from the death and gold he doesn't get from last hits while dead) and the xp(both for you and the xp the enemy isn't gaining) and I don't know if you counted the assist gold in your...

    DOTA 2

    Yeah lots of good points, overall though it's all relative and will depend on how the game is going, what the lanes are, what is your skill, what's your lane partner's skill, what are your opponent's skills, what are the risks of random aspects of your attack playing against you, how effective a...

    Origins of Malu

    Got a key, can't tell what the fuck the game is about based on their website, beta starts march 30th so we'll see I guess, I don't expect much when they don't even have a video up of the game before they start beta.

    Path of Exile

    Well if you run into a massive deadend in docks, you just TP out and remake one. There isn't really a need to backtrack, but you need to use TPs and while they're cheap it's still something you're not gonna gain as a result. Other issue is it can be deadly, even when super geared. LMP rare dogs...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah or just keep running, but avoiding him is generally the best course of action, depending on your build and gear at that point though you can just kill him if you happen to run into him. It's not often but it does happen even when hugging south west wall, like 1/30 clears or whatever. I know...

    Path of Exile

    Really the only thing to make a successful HC char is to build with a lot of health. You should have 200%health by 70(so 87-90points or so), in my opinion. You can do with less but that's just gonna be riskier, and that's even more of an issue on a first char without a bunch of health gear lying...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This is still fairly early beta though, which tends to have a NDA regardless, and their development is messy since they had an entire game but have to rework it system by system. We'll see how long they keep a NDA, but having a NDA months before release isn't really a bad thing nor does it mean...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Oh two anime movies that I had forgotten and were pretty nice too, Ninja Scroll (Juubee Ninpuuchou). Good ninja action movie from back when I started watching anime. Second was Jin Roh.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah read the notes, interesting changes, guess that means Drow in -cm soonish in dota2. Tranquil nerf seems fine, it's a fairly big nerf but the boots are still good because it doesn't ruin their main purpose, just force you to be more thoughtful about how you use them. Living Armor change I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Could be too, I guess it doesn't qualify as a sequel since they didn't make dota, I wish them good luck with that though cause they're also going against Valve on that front, and Valve has set the bar pretty high. And Riot has the "blizzard" market too for now so they'll have to work hard if...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah sounds about right, and probably the least interesting announcement of the year, even though who knows, someone might be able to top it, but unlikely.

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Answer is no, regardless. Your game has already launched a long time ago and everyone who wanted to check it out did and probably won't bother, even if you were to offer free months(which you'd need to do anyway). Plus you'd kill your remaining playerbase so even if you got a decent bunch of new...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Ah yes there's the older Zelda and a Castlevania too, didn't see that in the list I checked for some reason. I guess it might be worth buying maybe. I'll wait a bit and check reviews/videos of the 3DS version first though, see if there's any framerate issue or whatever else. Edit: Nvm Google...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Looking at the list on the Nintendo website, I see Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus(did that happen to be any good though?), Tales of the Abyss remake, Shinobi(new one? old one?), Cave Story 3D(heard good things about that) and Etrian Oddysey 4. And Pokemon but I'm not into Pokemon at all so don't really...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Yeah I didn't buy a 3DS either, didn't play my DS that much so figured it was pointless and it kinda is, plus I don't know about playing this on a handheld, seems kinda meh. Anyway hate the exclusivity.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Ugh, how I wish it wasn't on the fucking new Wii. I really don't want to buy one until price tag drops because of the PS4 release or something similar. Shit I wouldn't even mind if it was on the old wii since I have one of these somewhere in my basement.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh I guess that kinda works too. But then he's just saying the same thing that was said before, so not sure why it matters, we all understand NDAs are often to hide shitty games.

    Path of Exile

    Jewelry is always going to show much lower req level on it because of the mechanics of ilvl and req level. On any given item, you have 2 things checked to determine required level. First is the base item, basically what the white version has for req. For weapons and armor there's better and...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Original Berserk series was 25episodes. For the new one I'd just check any torrent site really or tokyotoshokan specifically for anime related stuff. Search for Berserk 2012 or Golden Age Arc or something like that, big files since they're movies.

    Kick-Ass 2 trailer

    Really? Thought some of his movies after his 90s golden age were pretty good, Truman Show(technically still 90s, but very much near the end) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are pretty awesome movies. Also liked I love you Phillip Morris whenever I caught it on TV, even though it wasn't...

    StarCraft 2

    Ultras with self rez and lifeleech are basically invincible, build 10 or so and just A move the map. You get them pretty late however. Roaches with any upgrades are apparently stupid, I knew about the slow but the splitting one is also stupid it seems? Kerrigan alone is pretty dumb though, with...

    Don't think that's what phoenix was saying, simply replying to the guy before who said do achieves when we were talking about the bad story.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Does it matter if he says he has a reliable source or not? You can come back and quote him when he's wrong, or he can quote himself in a few months if he's right, doesn't affect anything either way regardless. Until they actually show something that looks good and might contradict what Utnayan...
