I like taking away the speed. Truth is right now you nano your Reaper way before you even initiate because with the speed he can just dive past the front line and kill everyone in the back line. Or at lower MMR you nano your Rein and with the speed boost it is an almost guaranteed 2-3 kills...

I actually knew EQ was amazing because my friend was in the beta and wouldn't shut up about all the cool shit and the social aspect. Oddly enough we only talked about it in Sunday School.

I hate this argument. Have you seen high level Overwatch? Have you seen how Zarya is high energy all the damn time? Truth is unless the Zarya is an absolute noob she'll be high energy. She can shift and e in ways to make it impossible not to feed her.

Maybe not GPS but something on the main controller or console to press so the small child controllers emit a beep.

He generates scrap super fast now. To the point where unless your team is getting steam rolled everyone should have armor 100% of the time. And we all know how monster Symettra was with 50 HP shields.

I don't see why they needed yesterday's announcement for these changes. Nothing here is insanity outside of maybe the passive scrap Torb.

Innovation confirmed he's streaming on Afreeca

Aren't console "mods" for Skyrim only allowed to just re-use existing assets anyways? I wouldn't see why Nintendo would care about that. I also don't know why someone would want to play a Bethesda game on console but thats a different argument.

I don't see anything there that I wouldn't consider obvious. Most of the times match making is good, rarely it is bad, its harder at extremes. Is anyone really that surprised? People bitching about MM are generally those who just team blame all day but probably deserve their current rank.

Yeah it seems dumb the best way to play the game is to not play the game until the merge. I'm used to the older seasons where a power alliance starts early during the tribal stage and continues to balldrag everyone post-merge. Anymore with HII and these swaps and early merges they're trying...

I'm pretty hyped. The fact that they have to make an announcement about the notes leads me to think there is some big shit they're trying.

MTX are only in the D3 Chinese client and AFAIK he had nothing to do with that

Yeah I'm kind of in the same boat. They seem to refuse to let the game play out organically. Like no one seems to really give a flying fuck anymore about positioning their tribe to actually win challenges. Gen X had some extreme tard-level vote outs if that was a concern.

Oddly enough he's only a consultant in the capacity for the Chinese launch of PoE. Which I have no clue what that means.

Ah gotya.

I'll also add Divinity Original Sin. I didn't really know what to expect since I never really liked the previous Divinity games Larian put out but D:OS is an absolute masterpiece.

I think MO is a bit different where if you don't look up yourself you never register so the argument is only competitive players look themselves up hence why the MMR for the bottom tier seems so stark

He may be talking more about his son thinks he's hot shit but 2100 MMR is, at best, average but more like below average.

I haven't watched a bunch of the recent Survivor stuff but do they always merge this early? Each team has only voted off what 2 people now?

One thing I liked about Unity is there official documentation and tutorial video series. Does something like that exist for Unreal? Like Unity starts with a collection of YouTube vidoes covering the absolute basics to more advanced topics.

I'd say Earthbound. I didn't know what to expect since I was used to typical JRPG trope being put out on the SNES but the storytelling and characters in that game are so monumentally better than any other JRPG on the SNES that it made the other games feel (ironically b/c of the tone and...

Nope. Quick google indicates JSessionID is often generated to an application specific standard. Unless you know their hashing and encryption strategy you can't do it.

Probably a vestige of debugging that was mistakenly committed. I can't say I haven't done it before.

You're not including his sprint as well which is very good if you punish terrain more than the person (or team) you're skirmishing against. Since McCree can't get from point A to point B quickly and ghetto MMR is more about trickling than 6v6 it is often easy to find yourself in no mans land on...

I think this is going to be my plan. I think anymore Soldier is my best "carry" simply because he doesn't really need a team supporting him as much as say a McCree. I think at higher SR that is when Mei becomes the best carry but I honestly don't want to practice her a whole ton because the...

I don't think SC2 was ever popular enough to have an Afreeca driven resurgence like BW. I think Korean SC2 is simply dead. I'll be interested to see what KeSPA does with presumably Overwatch.

I think "tons" is a dramatic overstatement. Prior to selling integration and you had to use forum threads to list the pool of sellers was pretty small and you could say "tons" didn't sell their items. But most everyone who plays the game in anything beyond hardcore super ultra casual (in other...

The trading in PoE sucks ass. If it wasn't for poe.trade the game would be unplayable. I could see them basically reusing the D3 AH and ripping out the RMT aspect of it. But how I'd imagine Blizzard would tackle it would be: No shared passive tree, each class gets their own tree (I'd...

2:1 is pretty easy especially on some that just dink damage. Like Reaper is pretty easy to maintain. Since the game isn't strictly K : D it is basically K+A : D the ratios are a bit off. Also if you're on Reaper and not 2:1 (should really be breaching 3:1) you are failing your team because...

Yeah everything I saw from EQ Next reminded me of a PvE focused MOBA. Which I think that design concept has merit, personally.

I don't know the answer to that off-hand. I do know that wowhead and the likes go through our Mashery APIs so there has to be an ability to grant power user status. AFAIK there isn't a paid-for version of the API. There are also some limitations with Mashery itself that limits extensive API...

Our public facing APIs are exposed via Mashery. Battle.net Developer Portal - Blizzard Developer Portal

I'd probably tell them I'm going to write my own data model and just import the data from their broken database. But of course all of that takes time and I have no clue what the expectations are for these consulting gigs. I'm actually investing a bunch of my free time in actually trying to...

Yeah I'd just use an extremely high level ORM. Anymore with Spring & Hibernate you'd be able to ship out a RESTful API to talk down to a Postgres/MySQL with very, very little code written by yourself. Just boot it up inside a Tomcat on some server and write the web UI to talk to your server...

So you basically just do the schema design for their data and slap an ORM ontop of it and ship it out? Sounds like easy money.

I'd only get my perspective. That would make it impossible for me to decipher why my team wiped while I was Reaper keeping 2 players busy -- which is what I really need to understand. I'm clearly making incorrect decisions in my gameplay and I'm not sure what those incorrect decisions are due...

I really wish they had replays for this game. I'm not getting any better and I have absolutely no clue why.

Why would they add a ton of IP confusion into Diablo4? That doesn't make any sense to me. I'd just look back on what made D2 so good and iterate on what PoE did for the genre. PoE is a good game but far from perfect and could really benefit from some Blizzard polish.

His latest entries with Hellgate London and Marvel Heroes doesn't activate too heavily. MH especially was an ARPG disaster when it first launched.

Going to the bank sucks man I feel ya. However I now have over a million dollars in the bank and they treat me AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING
