    Well for example the Zeratul missions would make sense if you played Protoss a few hours later and learned exactly what's going on and shit. I mean a lot of the other stuff you listed also kinda happens in WC3 at various points. Now my memories of WC3 is certainly a bit foggy but iirc at the...

    StarCraft 2

    I blame their decisions to roll the stories into 3 games. So basically they had little to tell, and they had to tell it in full games instead of 1/3 of the game. So it drags on and it goes full retard a few times. It's obvious from WoL that the big important shit is going to be at the very end...

    Cyclone is weird. I wanted to make a new char based on it but I don't like it. I didn't expect D3 WW cause I knew that was unlikely to happen, so really I expected something close to D2 WW. The issue is unlike D2 WW, the aoe is smaller and/or the min distance is bigger in PoE, so you basically...

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Nope not finished yet. They're redoing the anime though, via movies. They're up to 3 OVA movies or so I think now? Covers about all of the old series, but with obviously much higher quality animation. They plan on releasing more too after to catch up with the manga, but they'll have to stop...

    It's not about the repercussions but Draegan pointed out before he'd like to keep the forum NDA compliant so devs are at least tempted to come talk about their games and what not like FoH back in the days. And Archeage isn't under NDA anymore I believe?

    Oh yeah if you want to use roaches and not make them broken the corpser one is probably more fun. I just didn't bother using them but wasn't planning to anyway. Zerglings and Ultras all the way baby.

    There's bugs with the patch. One when loading into docks, another when using 2H sword+cyclone. Possibly something else.

    Vile Roach when you get the evolution mission. It makes it so all their attacks slows the enemy by 75%, both movement AND attackspeed. The attackspeed slow completely trivializes everything. I didn't bother making roaches cause they were too retarded. Note that in the last few missions I had...

    Path of Exile

    It's somewhat similar to TL2, but more complex, you get to roll the stats instead of just buying the maps on a vendor, at the same time they're random drops so you can run out of maps if you're not careful on how you roll them. The properties are also more complex and a rare map will have a ton...

    StarCraft 2

    Game was pretty nice but the upgrades you get completely trivialize the game at times. The Roach upgrade is stupidly OP, being able to spawn 2drones at a time lets you beat brutal "normal" maps easily even if you suck like me since you can build a full base quickly and spam defenses even when...

    Path of Exile

    Well immunity to chaos resist comes with a direct benefit of being able to run blood rage for free, which is 15%cast/attackspeed via frenzy charges(potentially more if you were to take the nodes or the reward). It's also good in general. Freezing and Stuns aren't too much of an issue either...

    Fucking AAA title, rebinding keys for kerrigan doesn't fucking work. Now I have to figure out how to edit the files for keybindings since as far as I remember they didn't work in the original one either and that's how I fixed it. But like seriously, how do you miss such a fucking obvious bug.

    On gems, just try the trade chat or you can usehttp://poetools.com/market/orhttp://poe.xyz.is/to parse the forum posts. That's mostly useful for items though, gems aren't that rare especially quest reward gems like blood magic, might take a bit to find all the ones you need though. As for...

    They're calculated in the DPS assuming you do use physical dmg(and if it's a melee physical node that you do use a melee attack).

    Path of Exile

    Some skills DPS don't calculate properly, like elemental hit, explo arrow, others you won't see a difference with a small amount due to damage efficiency like firestorm or flame totem. How much and on what skills?

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Hmm stuff that surprises me I guess is pretty rare and not necessarily my favorite stuff. Up was surprising because the start of the movie was fucking amazing. The rest was more or less what I expected but the start of the movie really left an impression. Toy Story because it was the...

    No it's a Diablo-like. Played the beta for 30-40mins, meh, definitely not for me. Combat is average, character progression is terrible, itemization looks fun enough(found a piece of gear with +1 skill, that's nice). Mostly I absolutely hate the fact you have to pay for characters, basically...

    Well that sounds just like the normal anti hacking systems all games have nowadays. You enter the code to whitelist the new IP then you're good to go. In some cases you have to enter the code everytime you log in from a new IP but if your friend isn't playing anymore, then it'll do it just the...

    Doesn't make CI worth it unless you have very good gear. Easier to get chaos resist on a couple of pieces than get high ES on every pieces(while still getting good resists). I wouldn't recommend a CI build to anyone unless you absolutely know what you're doing with it, why you're taking it...

    Ah nice thanks didn't know there were keys around for this, just wish I knew earlier cause it's gonna be hard to play during these times, maybe I can play an hour and see how the game is a bit. Running time limited betas is fucking gay as shit.

    Shadowrun Returns

    Doesn't it look exactly like the concept screens they posted during the kickstarter campaign? I don't get how you could have backed the game based on these and say it doesn't look like what you expected. Hell when I clicked the thread the other day I thought it was a video of the old stuff cause...

    Path of Exile is closer to D2 than this, at least from what I've heard. I heard it's an ok game, but not a great one for the genre, unless you have a hard on for super heroes. I haven't gotten into a beta so I don't know first hand but meh I have a hard time seeing how it could be better than...

    Oh right forgot about that one, but it was so simple it didn't even register as a puzzle, considering the answer is in the message right next to the puzzle, and not in a cryptic form. By that time in DDO you had a bunch of puzzles like the one where you have to move squares with links on them...

    Neverwinter: PC

    It's not really a mmo, it's like Guild Wars(first one not 2nd one). Or a better comparison I think, it's very much like a korean F2P game, say Dragon Nest. There's areas where it's "open" where you can see a few players but it's like 12ppl per instance or something so you just see a few people...

    DOTA 2

    They've apparently been working behind the scenes on the next batch of heroes though, there's quite a few textures updates in the files for Bristleback, TC, Abaddon and Skywrath. I wouldn't be surprised if they chain release heroes this month. They definitely are releasing stuff a lot slower now...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Na I mean that I know, but if you go on the skill page, there's a button at the bottom for Paragon stuff, which is specialization as far as I can tell. There's currently only one paragon per class. However once on that screen I can't get the skills to show anymore, but earlier I managed to check...

    Played a bit, now stuck on a loading screen downloading some file at 20kb/s for whatever the fuck reason. So far pretty unimpressed. The animations are clunky and sometimes desync when performing multiple in a row(for example dodge backward then attack right away, half of the attack animation...

    Look on the forums for a Lightning Arrow build. Marauder variation is probably the easiest and tankiest but might be a bit hard to pull off early on, just about any class can make a variation. With that said to only clear on normal, any build is fine.

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    Well it's not a MMO apparently, so it's going to be a Ultima-esque kind of game with co-op play. Sounds good enough in my book. The game does look like shit but if they started developping a few months ago it's gonna look like shit that's pretty obvious. I don't really get the hate, but I...

    Don't know if Cyclone will work with 2H though, I asked a lot of questions on the skill but no dev answered, there's a ton of unknowns about the skill, like what weapons can it use, how does it scale, can it be interupted(manually or by enemies stuns), does it benefit from DW, is it an AoE etc...

    Path of Exile

    He doesn't swap out BM gems. What he does he uses blood magic on his main spell, so he doesn't use the passive. That lets him cast his auras on mana as usual, with reduced mana. What he does before that is equip the Covenant which gives Blood Magic temporarily, so he casts Grace on his health at...

    Path of Exile

    Well it depends on the skill you're using and the supports. Might need to grab 1pt in the mana on kill passive they added at the bottom right, or grab arcane efficiency or another mana% node. Alternatively using mana leech on your skill should fix a few issues. I don't think it alone can...

    Path of Exile

    The issues with melee aren't fixed. It was viable before and is viable now, it's just not efficient and a lot riskier than anything not melee. It's certainly better though, get 2% block out of it, a lot more damage, some good health and some insane mana regen so you can skip blood magic and run...

    They could make a bunch of the skills into supports instead but I guess they're not interested in reducing the amount of skills until they add more. Puncture for example would be a great support, currently it's just a shitty skill, it's only good with a bow and even then it's not that good...
