    I was under the impression that they had NO save back up system and that's why people are bitching about it being gated behing a paywall. And it has the whole phone voice shit, but that's more a problem of them designing controllers without jacks or bluetooth in the console so you can't actually...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Some people really dislike D:OS2 combat and how it works though, it plays very much like a strategy RPG more than a traditional CRPG. I think it's better too, but this one is enjoyable, better than the first one, stuff feels more responsive and you can interupt on purpose and stuff like that...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I think the idea is if you make a Priest MC, then you can have her be a monk for damage, or a monk/priest for some self buffing. If you don't have a priest the whole thing doesn't make much sense however and you might as well just single class priest yeah, that's what I did.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    On companions, they are basically worse than mercenaries in almost every case yeah, but that's ok because they're not so bad you can't get stuff done and have cool stories and insight into the dialogues and shit. Some of them also have unique subclasses however. For example Tekehu is a...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Kinda? You could potentially ignore it and still play but some stuff isn't going to make much sense, it is a sequel that lets you import your save game to define the world state so your choices affect stuff in the 2nd game. You could read up on the first one/watch a video and just go from there...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    A more readable version btw: They're also updated the fextralife wiki with it but it's kinda slow going and they have some random shit in there fucked up. Also something I made from the various streams, companion locations, minor spoilers obviously:

    Shade ult is very good already with the changes to the cooldown a few patches ago. It's actually broken as fuck on beta patch but I assume they'll nerf that back down. I mostly play Shade nowadays and honestly it works fine, but it does help that I can handle hordes on my own and can do bosses...

    Vermintide 2

    Ah you were using daggers, then yeah it's fucky as hell against hordes. Daggers are quite frankly, not very good. They do ok armor damage but not great by any mean, the hitbox on the first heavy is fucking retarded when trying to hit a boss moving away from you making it bad for infiltrate a lot...

    You need to get used to VT2 hordes more probably, since they act fairly differently than in VT1. I rarely lose health to hordes on shade, and when I do get hit I just lose some temp health(unless obviously I was full, then I lose a bit and fill it with temp health). I often have the most melee...

    DOTA 2

    They went full retard and camped in LGD base trying to take too much shit until Ame rezed normally and that went about as well as you'd expect, plus since everyone on Liquid also had just bought back, they just walked down mid and finished the game. This was purely a bad strategic call, but...

    That was a sad as fuck Morphling in that game, he was doing 0damage attacks for like half the game. I guess it turned out shutting him down with shitty Bane who then kept feeding because Bane, was still a good idea because he literally couldn't do anything all game besides wave form and stealing...

    Path of Exile

    The worst part is they often lose a ton of efficiency from staying up for stupid amounts of time and wether or not they "succeed" tends to be pretty RNG due to their lack of attention. Like at some point they're just zombie grinding and will die to random shit all the time. Also you kinda want...

    Vermintide 2

    Yeah they fucked up the fix for that, only fixed a minor version of the bug. Been playing the beta build, it's way fucked anyway currently. Huntsman/Shade delete bosses in like 5-10seconds, for some reason they uncapped damage, which is super retarded for these classes(especially since they...

    Oh I guess that's possible yeah. I'll see if I watch that tomorrow, I think I remember being annoyed at one of his stream for something else before though, probably spends too much time reading chat while playing which I find really annoying when I'm mostly trying to watch a game being played...

    A bunch of other streamers are getting early access too I think in case you want someone else than Carnage. Probably not worth watching too much of this unless you want to skip playing the game though, most of the fun of RPGs is figuring out shit on your own and discovering the story as you go...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    4.1 and 4.2 stuff, which has like new relic area, bunch of dungeons, a new raid wing, a new 24man and some side story stuff, I think there's a new Manderville episode. 4.3 is coming soonish I think, end of the month or so, so you'd have that too if you resub and play that. Omega was part of 4.0...

    This actually has dungeons and raids(10man), so I don't think so. Like every korean mmo though it has pvp, but I think it's more Blade and Soul, Tera and so on, where you have more pve content and then some basic pvp/mass pvp systems(checking a video, it has arenas, BGs, open world pvp which I'm...

    Oh cool missed that. Anyway thinking with ignite changes, maybe I'll finally play a non summoner next league. Thinking elementalist ignite vaal fireball with fireball treshold and all that shit. Haven't really figured a build or if it's gonna be worth it yet but that sounds kinda nice. Might...

    Path of Exile

    Ah yeah didn't think of cards, makes sense. Most of them for sale are probably the byproduct of these cards failing and getting vaal gems. Then there's no advantage to using a non vaal gem if there's a vaal skill for the skill you want to use. There's not that many vaal skills though, they kinda...

    Path of Exile

    Biggest change to make vaal skills less shit is letting you use both the normal version and vaal version with 6L, that's gonna be pretty big, plus it saves some gem sockets. Might not be great for say Vaal Haste since you generally don't want vanilla Haste anyway but great for the attack skill...

    Path of Exile

    Well my point was, them having a pack shouldn't impact the patching process, it's probably different teams working on cosmetics. So you could have a nothing new league and still have the guys working on cosmetics produce a normal pack like usual leagues and it'd let the content teams take a...

    Path of Exile

    I mean nothing stopping them from making packs for a legacy/throwback league, it's the same thing as doing a pack for any other league really. Some packs have thematical armor, but a lot of the sets are random shit anyway so they could do it fine. If they were really lazy they could rerelease an...

    Hmm combat looks pretty good. Not really expecting much from this though being korean and all, I assume it'll be grind heavy, RNG heavy for progression(both in acquiring items and upgrading items) and in the worst case P2W, as in more P2W than I'm comfortable with. Don't mind shit like unlocking...

    They said they're thinking of things but yeah. Last time I opened a bunch of chests I got 2 red trinkets in the same chest, which obviously isn't super useful, especially since I already had a 33% curse 5%crit orange trinket before because I got lucky when I was rolling for something else. So...

    You don't have to halt leveling, you keep the buff as long as you're on the unpopulated server, until they decide it's not low pop anymore and turn it off, even if you get past 60, you'll get the buff whenever you change class to something under 60. It's very good to level other...

    The push attack has a faster animation so it's better than LMB spam, however it starts with the angled attack(3rd light attack in the chain), which has a shittier hitbox, and it forces you to hit twice otherwise it has an ungodly shit delay after the push attack. Personally I just LMB block...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    They run quite a lot of games really. EQ1 and EQ2 both of which still probably have ~50-100k players, Planetside 2 which still probably has a fair amount of players, DCUO which apparently hasn't closed down yet somehow, H1Z1 which does have crates/keys system although the game is more or less...

    I linked it a few pages back but there's a simple autohotkey script for afk farming xp, assuming that's what you meant. Basically just queue with bots for Into the Nest, walk off the start area, in one spot specifically it kills you instantly so the bots don't get you back up, gives like 100xp...

    An absolute coincidence, it seems people are leaving the company: Daybreak update: Chief Publishing Officer Laura Naviaux has left the company What a weird way for EQ to finally die.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I don't think Nintendo minds a repeat of the Wii considering it sold a stupid fuckton amount(3rd best console after Gameboy and 3DS which are both lower price handhelds, sold more than the PS3 or the X360). If you meant the Wii U which flopped like garbage, then you're definitely wrong since the...

    Yeah I added that to my wishlist when I saw a review by some random ass guy who posted on reddit. Both the review and the game looked good which was pretty surprising since usually both are shit when that happens and I haven't heard of either. Anyway I'll pick it up at some point in the future...

    To save yourself time, nothing interesting was said. Stuff is being worked on, and they have a quest system and new cosmetics coming in a major patch soon, with a minor patch for balance/fixes before. No date, no specifics.

    I did warm up to it, I wasn't a fan of the mechanics but now that I'm more comfortable just meleeing stuff I like playing Shade, the ult does recharge very quickly with the changes.

    I did halescourge for the first time on legend today, the nerfs helps A LOT.

    Vermintide 2

    That damage reduction is kinda like whatever, it's nice to have but not a big deal. It does make Kruber himself a lot tankier than HM though, since you have 150health with 15% reduction, while HM is just 125hp with no reduction. Only tankier chars are like IB(150hp, 20%reduction, blocks a hit...

    Yeah foot knight feels pretty good for a "tank" because you can kill a lot of shit with good halberd usage and the low cd charge is great for controlling shit. On champion I could easily carry bads with halberd FK, it only sucked for boss damage and stormers spawning super far since I used...

    I mean in theory you can start before too and if you're good it's fine, unless playing Sienna then I wouldn't recommend it since you can't force vent nearly as well so it's pretty bad until 20. I leveled a bunch of shit from 10 to 30 on champ, but not the first characters, had to get used to...

    I haven't really played handgun much, but supposedly on legend it stops one shotting a lot of stuff without headshots. If you have good aim though and can reliably get headshots often at range, it's definitely a great weapon. Generally speaking, unless your Sienna/Kerillian/Saltz are trash at...

    Don't know how you had them down to so little, I played on SSD too(I play everything on SSD really) and it was still about 8-12secs for even the smallest loading, and sometimes close to 20secs for the larger areas. It was really really shit as I mentionned in my post. That said from what I've...
