    On PTR maybe? But I don't know Blizzcon is at the end of the week, it makes a lot more sense to keep the reveal for that, sell them virtual tickets bullshit stuff or whatever.

    DOTA 2

    His stun is really strong at low level if you charge it, he's pretty tanky for a support and his armor reduction is a super large aoe. Also can farm some items, and then feed his support money back into your cores with aghs upgrades. But I think no one plays alch support anymore cause they...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Not sure if that shit's still going on but they had severe issues on all NA realms with certain ISPs from what I read.

    Overwatch

    Meh I guess no news until Blizcon. If they were gonna wait until Blizcon for Sombra, they really should have started the ARG later. Shit's been going on for what, like 4months? I think it was already a thing before Ana was released, or maybe it was around the same time, but that's still a stupid...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Yeah that's why I said not hard hard, but like for most FFs even the modern ones, there's times where there's some shithead mob types that you have to heal against or use a specific element or do something, and then some of the bosses fights do take a careful approach, with sometimes having...

    There's a shadowverse thread on the first page already. Says the same thing you said even.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I read it was too easy though, thoughts on that? I mean I don't expect like dying every 20secs or whatever but I kinda dislike when games are easy enough that you can just spam attacks through every fight the entire time and not really care about what's going on at all. Might pick it up after...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    Brotherhood, I think it's about Noctis friendship with the other 3 guys. It's anime anime though, not CG, from what I understand.

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    Yeah I meant I avoided the rest of the stuff to avoid spoilers(like early game playthrough previews, didn't even bother with the demo and stuff), but figured "eh I'll just watch this one since it's close to release". And that part isn't really a spoiler anyway, I thought it was part of this...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    Well from what I understood it's basically an omen(title of the video) of things to come. Concept is that the game is about making this not happen. Honestly I hadn't really kept up with anything about the game besides the initial reveal(I mean reveal of XV, not all the old XII Versus stuff), but...

    Overwatch

    Well I don't think they'd need to run a major league, even an invitational tournament would probably be better imo. I mean all stars is one thing but when you split it by countries, it becomes a mess for a bunch of countries. Sure korea, china and to an extent USA can field full teams of good...

    Overwatch

    World cups in team based games are a fucking stupid idea(I mean in video games mostly). A bunch of countries can't field a full good team, a bunch have uneven amount of good players and the level is going to be lower than in general since a lot of teams are made with people who usually don't...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Don't wanna read polygon, but did it drop 7percent compared to their stock before the announcement, or since? Cause their stock rised a lot when they announced they had an announcement a day before, so... On the size, it does look bigger than a 3DS, but not that much so? If you remove the pads...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Well it's Nintendo so who knows if it'll do anything but video games. Don't think they've said anything about something of the sort yet, but the initial reveal was definitely focused on the gaming aspect(and local multiplayer/portable stuff) so there might be more. There's still too much...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It might be the case, but it's also possible that for the initial reveal, they're targetting their core audience, the gamers that like Nintendo stuff, and they'll have some casual/family oriented stuff later on.

    Overwatch

    I think hitting the damage reduction instead of the speed boost is probably much better design for a nerf. Nano boost should be the all powerful offensive buff, it shouldn't necessarily provide defenses(at all I'd argue, but eh). Very underwhelming patch notes considering the warning...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Also apparently Nintendo said there won't be any more news until 2017, no specs, no 1st party games info. There might be 3rd party games info from their partners, not clear about that. Kind of a weird strategy to go into silent mode after the initial reveal for several months but eh, it's...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    They can easily dial down the mapping. Realistically, the feature that makes the dual screen important isn't so much the actual dual screen, it's the touch screen which lets you draw the maps. If you had to press a button to swap to map screen, it wouldn't be that bad at all(slightly more...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Sounds kinda expensive especially since you'll need another 50 for a non garbage gamepad, but I guess if you already have a Wii U normal one you might not need to buy one right away. Also have to see what kind of memory it has if you need a SSD or whatever. I'll buy depending on the games...

    Hearthstone

    Not sure what format they'll be playing but won't most shamans be banned if they have bans anyway? So the classes you'll see the most of are warrior and druid, which is really the standard tournament lineup and has been forever, even though the decks have evolved over time. That paladin/priest...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    The maps are "slightly" randomized. They have a bunch of spots where rocks/carts/whatever can spawn and block the path, so while the map itself is the same, you might have to go right, center or left through some part of it. You can backtrack and clear the blocked ways if you want though and the...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Probably won't be backward compatible with 3DS/DS at least, maybe Wii/Wii U though that'd make sense kinda, who knows. I wish it'd play 3DS games cause the idea of being able to play 3DS games on a large screen(maybe with the screen of the portable NX as the bottom screen) would be fucking...

    Path of Exile

    He also worked on Marvel Heroes and kinda made it from a shit game to a fairly decent one that became way more profitable from my understanding, so having him work on the chinese version of PoE which has microtransactions and what not seems like a good idea. The name is also recognizable but I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I highly doubt overhauling the battle system means reducing the GCD, the GCD works fine and is helpful for gamepad support I think. It'd be a change to try to please some people that didn't like the game at the risk of displeasing many current players, a gamble that probably wouldn't be worth...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Shaper isn't really necessary content though, just like Uber Atziri. And there are a bunch of builds who can kill him, albeit slowly, with relatively low item investment. Especially with essences letting you self craft better gear, it really wouldn't be impossible, although on HC it'd be really...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm not sure all of these are tied to PS3, especially stuff like inventory and towns, that sounds like server issues(the towns not sure maybe some spaghetti code in there, heavensward has areas that are way way bigger than cities and Ishgard itself is split into 2 but each area is like larger...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I don't think a Diablo mmo would involve what most people here consider mmo. I think it'd be closer to Marvel Heroes "mmo", as in large instanced areas with a bunch of ungrouped people frantically clicking large hp sponges, and some "raid" content which is basically 8man D2 groups, but with...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Seems they already started the upgrade campaign for PS3 > PS4. It lasts until December 2017(so a year+). Can pickup old PS3 copies of the game for cheap and upgrade to PS4 for not much, that said you'd still need Heavensward after(and evenually Stormblood too) so not as useful anymore.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm quite interested to see what role they give RDM. Traditionally, RDM had no defined role, he was just a Jack of all trades with some sword skills, some black magic and some white magic, but within the clearly defined role system of FFXIV, that doesn't really fit too well, especially the white...

    Well there was a lot less Genji fucking up everyone too. The Pharah stuff was interesting, hadn't seen her in a while, I don't watch that much Overwatch cause I never know when there's matches but hadn't seen her since they did all the changes to like McCree and shit. Interestingly don't see...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Interestingly, both David Brevik and Bill Roper, of old Blizzard North, tweeted about visiting Blizzard a couple days ago. So there's most likely a new project in the works, but it might be the only project they have, and a lot of positions might be already filled, leading to people leaving...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yes and Mythos which was never finished I think, and then he worked for a while on actually turning it around for Marvel Heroes(until they turned it back to where it's heading now as he left). Anyway could mean jackshit really and he's just trolling or whatever on his twitter.

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I used to like raiding, but nowadays I hate it. Mostly I hate the commitment, not so much in terms of time, but in terms of schedule. I hate having to be there at certain hours on certain days every x days of the week. Sometimes I want to watch TV, sometimes I want to play another game...

    DOTA 2

    Can still kite him a fair amount with slows/hard disables, especially shit that isn't dispelled by BKB/goes through BKB(viper ult for example, roar, puck with agh, this kind of shit), and ghost scepters so you don't die when he blinks assuming you press the button before you get stunned as well...

    Updates after patches will depend on who's doing the updates at the time and stuff I'd assume. I used Aether Oil - Gamer Escape's Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV, FF14) wiki more personally but back when I played the wiki you linked wasn't updated for shit, don't know about nowadays. Also Garland Tools...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I skipped this season already, but yeah sounds pretty dead if they didn't even bother with a PTR. They might do some minor changes but probably nothing worth playing. Sounds pretty fucking shit leading to the supposedly big Diablo news for Blizzcon.

    Poll Is dipping your french fries in a milkshake acceptable?

    The thing I don't understand about the whole process is, so you dip your fries, that's fine, you get some really overly sweet sauce for your fries but whatever, my issue is, what the fuck happens to the milkshake then? After dipping a bunch of fries in it, surely it tastes like, well, fries...
