    Overwatch

    I wonder how many people actually watch OWL versus people afking for drops though. I keep getting boxes of I don't know what, I guess lootboxes ingame? when I'm watching OWL. I feel this is a bit tricky to use drops to get people to "watch" the stream. I mean, I'm sure most of the watchers are...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    That's not necessarily true. The value of a card is still going to be a product of its power, even if it's an old card it could still be as good as the new one, keeping a decent value. I agree in the very first days of a new expansion the new shit will most likely be more expensive, but I'd...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Pay to win definition varies from people to people based on how much of an advantage you get, and how much you have to pay. For many people, HS is pay to win because you sure can't get all the legendaries you need to make most of the meta decks and have a good shot without paying some money or...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I assume it's the same people who speak loudly in restaurants, listen to music on speakers instead of headphones, hold their phones in front of their mouth with speaker on, chew their food with their mouth wide open and so on. It isn't really surprising that some people are utterly clueless...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Well it is something new? On the pricing, I believe the big difference between this and most other card games is you can trade/sell your cards, so you can actually switch your shit around when you're bored or want to try something new, provided rarity is kept decently under control and they...

    Monster Hunter: World

    In the documents they made public about their fiscal year results, they said they had 85+% of their playerbase overseas. That does include China, and it's for overall Capcom, not MHW specifically, so stuff like Street Fighter 30y aniversary and Resident Evil 7 mixed in. That said, I'd be...

    Path of Exile

    They're doing the press tour this week, so all of the info is under NDA for now. They could have had teasers maybe but seems not. I guess on friday or so the NDA will be lifted and every online publications will have their articles about the new league showing some new stuff. Timing is a bit...

    Monster Hunter: World

    While I'm sure people will prefer Discord due to it being fairly optimized and stuff, Steam has voice support now and since the game integrates Steamworks to do its online already, I assume it'll just be available without having to fiddle with anything. Apparently guilds or whatever they're...

    Hearthstone

    Oh right. I guess you have to play it, wait a turn, then try to kill it. Voodoo doll+any targeted spell should do that easy enough, but it gives a turn to silence it.

    Hearthstone

    Isn't there a rogue spell that draws your entire deck? Sounds like someone's gonna meme this shit. Granted you still need to make it to turn 10, draw both of these unique cards since they're both legendary, draw your entire deck, then play your entire hand, then play mechachtun THEN kill it...

    Fucking Internet shitting itself, hope it's fixed within a week, I don't want to have to spend 3days downloading the game from my phone.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I think it's basically the difference between what's good and what's viable. Everything is viable and can be used, but that doesn't mean everything is balanced the same. Especially in solo setting, some weapons are not gonna be as good, and some weapons are gonna be worse/better for certain...

    Vermintide 2

    I don't know how it is nowadays but yeah retards with drakefire was a problem at times in champ. I guess some people just don't know there's friendly fire. Not as much of an issue in legend imo, at least most of the time, people learn pretty quickly that killing their own teammates doesn't get...

    Vermintide 2

    Yeah a lot of legendary pubs will fail regardless of weapon or class choice anyway. I've had fairly ok success rate in pubs back when I was playing, but I played a lot during the day(less people and more no-lifes playing). I think I had about 50% success rate in pubs in legendary when I was...

    Vermintide 2

    Streamers can do it so it's doable. I mean I don't watch this game anymore but back when I watched people did solo and duo runs of legendary all the time, and you can easily carry someone naked with 3 people. In fact I remember some runs where some guy roleplayed a pure tank and only blocked the...

    Yeah for ultra DPS look at ele hit stuff, where they drop 25% off each boss in like 3shots each, DonTheCrown or whatever has a video of this I think I watched, or maybe it was another guy. Can also look at cute dog's 2.5k hp uber elder kill with arc trapper. Mind you, obviously not deathless...

    Monster Hunter: World

    IGN doing a stream of the PC version. Seems to run fine, based on what I've read you want to turn off volume rendering quality, visual effect is minimal and subjectively worse than without it, and it basically eats a stupid amount of FPS for just having it. They're running at mid setting with a...

    Riot Games MMO

    I feel it'd be more like Diablo 4. As in, ARPG, pseudo mmo(large mmo towns but instanced content for virtually everything, maybe raids like marvel). The Diablo style would mesh well with LoL fanbase I think, top down view, can keep the low amount of skills(add some more), itemization more...

    No Man's Sky

    Formula hasn't changed much but it seems alright from what I've watched on streams. It's still your basic gather shit to upgrade shit so you can gather shit faster so you can upgrade shit further loop. But a lot of the stuff looks less annoying, including movement(I remember at launch it looked...

    No Man's Sky

    Oh also double posting so it's more visible, in case you do want to play the new multiplayer shit, don't buy the GOG version. They don't have it as a feature and while they said it's "coming later this year", the last patch's feature is still not in either. The game makes use of the Steam API...

    No Man's Sky

    They were blacklisted for a while from reddit and IsThereAnyDeals but now they're back, they have partnerships with most/all of what they sell, which is also why they don't sell everything. That said even when partnered I think you can still run out of keys because they only give so many keys...

    None of the leagues older than Beastiary have complicated mechanics. All the really old leagues are implemented in the game already for the most part. The only ones not in the baseline game are Invasion(spawns unique bosses in the zone that have some funky mechanics sometimes, most just explode...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm not really talking from a distribution perspective and more just technical issues. Streaming works alright for watching movies because of buffering and the lack of input. But packetloss when playing a game is already shit in any online game, all of them, there's always issues due to routing...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Meh we'll see. Assuming it is true, shit looks like a PR nightmare when Comcast or Warner or whaterver decides to throttle the connection until they get paid and Microsoft doesn't want to pay them, or just in general with how shitty the US infrastructure is for Internet. And then the issue of...

    Yeah the Mathil Ground Slam build looked surprisingly good, I didn't expect ground slam to be buffed that much. You do have to stand right next to shit you want to kill if it's hard like bosses and shit, but that's not a huge problem if you build defensively enough, and vaal ground slam looked...

    Also what you can do is configure your mouse to have a key that does Alt or Ctrl. This way you can hold a mouse button and press single keyboard keys still. I've been considering doing that myself to replace Alt and make it easier to move+hit keys, but I'm too lazy to relearn everything.

    I use a normal shitty old mouse personally, and I don't even bind skills to it, M4 is autorun, alt+M4 is mount, M5 is self target(mostly use it on healer since there isn't much point otherwise). I use a lot of modifiers though, got used to it over the years. Off the top of my head, normal 2...

    Macros are good, as long as you use them for only one action. There's a few exceptions to this rule(for example as Monk I had a macro to switch fists, I forgot what the macro is but basically, press it once, it switches to fist of earth, press it again, it switches back to fist of fire. Lets me...

    Similar one for 8ex for sale, 9days ago might be overpriced though. At least 6-7ex. Quantity is the best stat and you rolled max, you have decent-ish life, high resist for all of them, rarity is ok, so yeah lots of money.

    I mean the issue when it was on wrong hands is it wasn't body swapping at all half the time. But even when it's "fixed", it still body swaps every, I don't know, .75secs or whatever, it's not really that fast moving around. I guess that's just how it is. On the 1month leagues, I think they...

    I don't know what's the optimal setup, but when I watched that Raiz poet pen lvling video the other day because someone was asking about Faster Casting in it, when he switches to PPs, it basically wasn't working because the corpses kept getting consumed and shit. Then he was like "oh", switched...

    Path of Exile

    For the body swap and volatile dead, you have to fiddle around with order of gems and which wand is MH and OH for it to work properly I think. If you're killing fast with arc though then might as well use that I guess.

    Yeah most classes have shit for aoe in these 3 dungeons, I think BRD has theirs and maybe BLM is synced high enough for fire II(but 3/4 of the time you'll start casting and the firefly will die before you're done, cancelling the whole thing since it's a targetted aoe). Best class actually I...

    While lvling as a tank would be faster, people might get really annoying if you go too slow in low lvl dungeons when they're stuck with no skills trying to do their daily roulette. Mind you not every dungeon especially if you say you're new, but some people are assholes and they'll make the run...

    There's still restrictions but yeah it's a lot better and should be a lot more interesting. Although I'm not sure if they'll be able to win with these changes, at least for now. Assuming it doesn't disapear, I'm excited to see next year's TI matches with the AI having another year to train...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Hmm don't know about cutting the content out of the patches but that's what I meant, they're patching the shit they said they would in 2018. If they did cut content from it it's pretty pointless but I was under the impression they were finally patching like they said they would. With that said...

    It also took a lot less time to get in that state. Does look pretty decent, maybe I'll pick it up next time it's on sale. I had 0 interest in the game at launch and always felt like it was going to be shit anyway so didn't have issues with how it launched, but it seems they added quite a lot of...

    It was a bit better when there were 3 dots but yeah. The good thing is it makes dungeons go faster since for the first like 50levels, scholar does 80% of the damage of a DPS class, and since the fairy alone can keep the tanks up in dungeons, you basically don't have to cast a single heal in the...
