    Heroes of the Storm

    Im just confused why they decided to go with queuing with a hero instead of doing a draft/blind pick type of deal so you can at least coordinate with your team mates. Especially in such a team oriented game.

    League Of Legends

    Bruiser Nid got some really good buffs in 4.11. The biggest is the cougar form reset after landing a spear. You can now chase in cougar form, then jump to human, spear and return to cougar to W>Q>E without waiting on the form cooldown. Maokai looks interesting. Wondering if he may work AP out...

    I was going to start learning to play Nid better, but I'm willing to bet she's going to be banned a lot.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    No, I've been distracted by League of Legends because my Brother in Law sucked me back in. Wildstar is a good fallback game imo, but the game is really good for a quest treadmill game, I just can't go full hardcore in those games anymore.

    Yeah. I guess it's context. Labor leveling is great if you're leveling up another tree at 50 while the game is live. For testing purposes where nothing else matters in the game, leveling to 50 on a fresh account is probably best.

    Well labor leveling is easy and you don't have to put effort into it. Vitality could tell you better, but he was getting half to almost a full level burning labor.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I did not shill that game early on at all. I've always said the game is WOW++. I went from it being a decent game to it being shitty generic game. I never really went all out for it at all.

    You can level a tree to 50 easily enough if you have access to burn Labor quickly. However, a new character to 50 would be faster in real life time if you poopsock it. Would be interesting to see the new experience changes for quests post level 15.

    Good to hear that.

    They really messed up some of the Hermit-type builds with Occ/Song's magic damage/crit damage passives. It's ultimately a good thing. That shit has so much burst. I wish I could see stuff on a website somewhere with an up to date builder. What is that new Witchcraft spell that summons undead?

    Guild Wars 2

    Tera's combat ran off of combos that you could customize. You would select your combo key, your LMB and RMB and some third button I can't remember. You actually only used the hotbar to activate abilities when you're using utility or switch stances or something. (maybe a charge or a dodge?) I...

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    If you live in a corporate apartment complex then handling cash is risky, processing checks is costly and time consuming.Creditis pretty much simple and nearly automatic.

    That's a contracted job, why would you tip on that?

    Guild Wars 2

    It was based on a combo system where I often didn't need to use a hotbar at all. Did you play the game?

    SWTOR

    Compared to what? Combat is your typical tab target mess. I don't see how it's any less or more fun than any other tab target system.

    2 or 3 bars of abilities is the definition of bloat and shitty game design.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I said the game is more like WOW BGs in the context that they are all MOBAs. But go ahead and keep thinking the way you do.

    You really have any hopes for this game? Good luck.

    Guild Wars 2

    lol Anyway, the game is exactly the same from 1-40 that it is from 40-80 just with different stuff to do. The game should of been levels 1-40 and they should of converted all the 40-80 zones into just "end-game" areas to explore, get loot, do fun things in.

    Skyforge anyone following this?

    This is by the guys who made Allods Online. Expect heavy heavy pay to win free to play game.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I didn't concede, you just can't seem to grasp what I'm saying because you either want to go hardcore fanboy mode or you're dumb. HOTS is a MOBA hat's why is very close to LOL/DOTA2. However in order to explain to someone what differentiates LOL/DOTA2 from HOTS is that it's like a WOW BG...

    I couldn't imagine working a sales job that just paid me a higher salary and not commissions. That would suck.

    League Of Legends

    My problem is my engagement timing. There are some games it seems everyone is saving a CC for when I ult, every single top. Need more practice on timing and target selection.

    Heroes of the Storm

    My guess was just based on what I've seen so far. This could very well be true because there really is no right answer. Personally I view the map as a football field. No matter who is playing, the field is always the same so the only variable is the player and team. I guess we'll see.

    That's kind of what I've been saying all along? Your original statement did not convey this.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I never said WOW BGs were a 1:1 comparison for the game for fucks sake. I'll say it again, this is how the comparison helps describe HOTS: Game has multiple maps.The full team's power level always scales at the same rate. In a WOW BG you're no more powerful at the beginning then at the end...

    Heroes of the Storm

    If I had to guess, I would say that HOTS not having a standard map or at least not promoting one map over another, will hurt them in the long run of trying to gain popularity in the esport side. Obviously they have a leg up on other up and coming MOBAs just because it's Blizzard. It would be...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Sounds like a game that has designed some interesting champs and are balanced around the game they appear in. Nothing more, nothing less. Heroes in HOTS are designed around not gaining additional stats outside of levels/talents. It's silly to think that you can take one dude from a game and plop...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Can you explain yourself a little better? It just sounds like heroes are balanced based on how the game is played. Sounds just like any other game is balanced around items that are available. The skills of the two heroes you mentioned have similarities with heroes/champs of other games.

    Heroes of the Storm

    If I'm talking to someone that is a LOL player that knows that Blizzard has a MOBA out but knows nothing about it, I would say the game has aspects of WOW BGs. Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this. The comparison is inside the assumption that they are all MOBAs and have all the same...

    Heroes of the Storm

    For sure, HOTS is closer to dota/lol than WOW bgs. But that wasn't the original point.

    Heroes of the Storm

    They are all MOBAs, I've watched the game being played. I don't know how much else I need to know before making an overarching opinion. I'm not trying to insert my opinion on the meta game, or strategies or whatever. Just on the basics. I can look at any champ/heroes abilities and tell you...

    SWTOR

    It's a decent DIKU game with friends and they've added a ton of stuff. I personally don't think there is enough there for me to play. Tab target combat really bores me. If this was at least the minimum of Wildstar or at best TERA's combat I would be playing for sure. Alas, it is not.

    Heroes of the Storm

    What are you even talking about? I just looked up Abathur, I don't see anything that couldn't be done or hasn't been done in either game. Same thing with Murky. HOTS is essentially LOL/DOTA2 with different twists. No gold or items. Shared EXP. HOTS has an in-game talent tree you level up...

    Asking for a Raise

    This is pretty spot on. I've been with my company almost 9 years now. Last 4 years have been marriage, home, kids, so I've been enjoying the stability. I've just started exploring options and it's pretty eye opening the opportunities that are out there. Spoke with one person in recruitment and...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The same thing could be said about bad players in LOL. A person who tunnelvisions their lane and doesn't roam, or chases to often, or doesn't take towers is not a good player. A decent player in the laning phase can dominate his lane, pick up kills and transition to other lanes to apply pressure.

    Heroes of the Storm

    The comparison is usually made thinking that you know what a MOBA is and how it's basically played. HOTS is like WOW BGs because of how the game is set up. In WOW, you have a bunch of battlegrounds that people play in where not a single map is standard and all are treating equally in a general...

    Has anyone had any success recently with Katarina. Started playing here over the weekend and I'm either feast or famine with her. I'm either 15-X-X or upside down on the KDA. Her laning phase is a pain in the ass. Played my first Lissandra game top. Not a bad champ. Kind of fun to play.
