    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Pillars suffered from the combat being a muddy, chaotic mess imo. The story itself wasn't bad, but there was a lot of text to read and it got pretty cumbersome. The combat here is much closer to Fallout or X-Com and is much, much more engaging than Pillars was. The probably isn't as interesting...

    What the fuck is the deal with source vampirism and shriekers? It doesn't have enough range to actually cast it on them before they kill you, are you really supposed to just send everyone in and spam cast it until someone gets it off before they oneshot you?

    Unless they can't be teleported, which becomes more and more of a thing the later in the game you get. Oil patches are really your best CC aside from just bursting armor/magic damage to land hard CC on your first round of turns.

    Please stop watching and supporting this phoned in cash grab. 90$ with all the launch DLC for a smaller roster than the last game that they abandoned. Capcom can eat dicks with this one.

    I feel like I'm missing so damn much in this game. More than half my quest log is stuff that just never seems to resolve fully no matter how much I scour maps.

    Tentacle arms scales extremely well if you're strength. It's important to note that physical skills from scoundrel/warfare scale based on your type of weapon. So you 2h strength tank can totally pick up say, sawtooth knife to have access to a bleed and it will still do a mountain of damage with...

    Persuasion works great for me? It can be very stat dependent though; don't try and use a str persuade on your face character if they have a base 10 str, regardless of how many points are in your persuasion.

    Reactive armor confirmed godmode for all you sword+board people out there. Geomancy largely was very meh until this, but now he's my best damage.

    Party size of 2 for double lone wolf vs party size 4 without. Just a different way to play the game, typically a bit harder. Bonuses seem very similar to the first game, maybe slightly less AP gain? Been a while since I've played the first one, but AP in general seems lower.

    No, you get to pick their class and then they are the default loadout for that class.

    I haven't run in to too much BS on the NA servers. AS servers on the otherhand... I mean, it's a pretty good laugh the first few times that the second the game gets to 10 people remaining everyone dies to a headshot from a pan, but uhhh yea, don't play AS servers.

    The physical/magic armor split only feels like a detriment early on (the island). You quickly start encountering enemies that are just massive fucking tanks in one direction or the other, so stacking 100% to either side seems like a really, really bad idea.

    Same thing as X-Com really; kinda hard to watch without knowing the game system. They do really dump you in to combat without much preparation though, and in to much more complicated fights as well. First game started with some pretty basic undead encounters etc, but this one is all NOPE HAVE...

    Lol, sounds like the typical MTG mook yea. "I only go to XYZ store because their prize support is 5% better" is such a fucking backwards ass idea.

    Yeesh, Legacy is pretty dead in Chicago these days. There is a weekly that gets like 8-10 people on Sundays, then like a monthly thing out in the suburbs that is bigger, but even it is shrinking pretty badly these days. I mean, I have no room to talk, I sold out of that shit years ago and only...

    Thanks for the codes homie, we'll see how soon this opens up. People selling packs is pretty scumbag for sure, but not really that surprising unfortunately given how many people calculate the time they spend playing MTG solely on EV.

    This is on sale for 30$ currently, so picked it up. About 10 hours in so far and it's pretty decent? Certainly way better than Lords of the Fallen, but not as good as Dark Souls. Combat definitely feels good, nice and meaty and very deadly. My only complaint would be that basically every trash...

    Maybe people don't want crayon drawings in their EDH decks? Maybe people want to play modern or legacy tournaments and can't afford it? Maybe the prices the secondary market demands for some cards is fucking insanity and buying 95% approximation fakes is the only logical solution for some...

    Black Lotus - Small Orders Online Store, Hot Selling and more on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group These will be 100% fine to casual EDH play unless your group is full of Haylels.

    Spot the fakes. Most veteran players can probably still pick out real vs fake here in a magnified side by side like this, but they are very much in the "close enough" territory now. You might get called on them if you make it do day 2 at a GP or something, but anything lower REL than that? Go...

    Blademaster is never situational once you kill the assassin chosen. The never-miss ignores-armor max damage sword he gives you is the most busted shit in the entire game.

    It's gonna be physical tie-ins that drive it. Win promo codes for online packs at FNM, get a free sealed run online for playing pre-releases, etc etc. I doubt they'll go as far to do the Pokemon thing where each pack has a code for an online pack, but who knows? It's 2017 and maybe they've...

    This list is pretty nuts, I wonder why they pulled out all the reprint stops? Flusterstorm, grove of burnwillows, cryptic, ancestral vision, thoughtseize, mana drain, nimbus maze, mishras bauble, elesh norn.... This is insane compared to the previous masters sets.

    This will be their premier format for standard/draft going forward. Light free to play mechanics, ability to buy packs still, etc. MTGO will still get supported in terms of modern/legacy/vintage until it finally finishes dying a slow painful death.

    Got these masters sets trigger me so hard. Mana drain reprint is neat and all, but holy shit it shares a mythic slot with Thundermaw Hellkite? Those aren't even from the same fucking game they are so far apart, and that's not even getting in to the monetary end of shit.

    Yep, most of the EDH crowd here plays with chinese duals and no one cares. You can get a very passable set of all of them for peanuts these days, and I feel like it won't be too much longer where we're passed a tipping point where the fakes will be so good they will start passing in tournament play.
