    I think totems are awarded only at the end of the season, it doesn't scale in real time? Then again I never used any, or customized my hideout beyond moving all the shit the closest possible to the middle so I don't have to run around.

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Oh right I forgot about that. I didn't play XI that much so I guess I wasn't THAT hyped, but still pretty hyped since the screens for promotion and stuff looked really cool and they had all these kinda old school ideas of positional grouping strategies and whatever the fuck else. Then I played...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    I guess Guild Wars 2 probably. Hearing about the game being made I picked up GW1 with all the expansions because I only had played some trial or whatever back when it released and didn't like it too much, and fell in love with the game, although it wasn't really mmo-ish and more like really cool...

    It's like wow, they have some cash shop only stuff on top, which is kinda meh considering the sub but eh. They do have a ton of ingame costumes especially since you can glamour old armor and stuff, so it's not like terrible.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That didn't happen for Heavensward because just like wow they rework the formulas as you level up, so while you might have twice as much haste/spell speed, you actually get the same speed. Also forces you to replace your old gear since the ratings you had on your old shit become complete garbage...

    They confirmed that with act5 coming, they'll remove one difficulty again, so it'll only be normal > merciless from that point on. Good change since the leveling process was getting pretty annoying with the 3 difficulties as they add more content to it. That said act5 isn't coming for a while...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I remember seeing that list a few years ago. Guess it pops every now and then. Fun fact, #3, Rak, was a friend from UO and the account was botted by a bunch of chinese to that ranking. He bought it for like 500bucks iirc with the goal of being server first to cap. He did a lot of buying/selling...

    I think he means available, cause that's reduce the cost of the original PS4 too, as well as be a normal step since a new version is out to drop the older one. That said, FFXI ran on PS2 for the entire time, so I don't know. It's possible they'd find a way to split the clients somehow, have a...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Only seen the screenshot of the talent/trait/whatever it's called in this game, and it seems to be universal, as in not an elven thing to pass on memories. From the wording, you can simply eat any body part and gain access to memories of that person. It seems it'll be something similar to Pet...

    And after every kill means after every kill your team gets, spamming well played after your opponent kills someone on your team doesn't have quite the same effect. But yeah at the end of the day it's a 5vs5 game, you don't have to be technically a beast and able to solo mid carry every game to...

    Well GBA probably not, 3DS maybe but I don't think emulators are very good yet for the 3DS. You'd probably better off emulating the PS1 and PS2 versions I think.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    That sounds fine to me, they had shown that before in the char creation video from a couple of months ago, if you want the roleplay shit you tag stuff, if you don't you don't, and if you want the specially tailored dialogue stuff you play a premade char, no real issues with that system. If...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Provided you build/play correctly, pretty much anything is fine and will be overpowered by like 2/3rd into the game or earlier depending. The most broken in the original was 2H warrior, but I think in EE it was dual wield rogue, although it's been a while. Broken as in, can one round most...

    Path of Exile

    One of them was apparently a melee skill or physical spell, that spawned mirror images to attack stuff(might not be considered pets though, more like just how it looked). But since they scrapped most of that stuff, might not end up actually releasing. You'll probably have to build around the...

    Order mattered on CWDT back when you could put both enduring cry and immortal call on it, you needed to have enduring cry first so it'd do that before doing immortal call. But they nerfed that combo by making the Warcries tag for Enduring Cry+new skills, so that you couldn't trigger them...

    If you play totems, they finally unfucked flameblast on totems, it stops casting once it reaches full charge(before it'd just keep going and only cast once the totem expired/you replaced it). Looks pretty solid with decent cast speed and some aoe, does very large blast. Not the fastest though...

    Why would more people be running older content btw, is there a new feature for it in 3.4? I'm probably waiting for 3.5 though, that's the last catch up patch before next expansion, will be easier to gear and clear all 3.4 content(other than savage but I can just watch a video of that, it's not...

    It is if your optimize your leveling, especially as a group. One guy looks for the next map, while other guys grind, rotate the guy running to the next map so xp is fairly even and shit, share drops so everyone's geared decently and make use of stuff like auras and curses stacking to trivialize...

    Seems if you had preordered Total War Warhammer on steam, you got the chest for it and the chests sell for ~20bucks atm. I bought it from GMG so seems I didn't get it, guess it had to be from steam directly.

    Titan Quest

    As far as I remember the game wasn't Diablo3 easy though, but then again I'm pretty sure I've never played it without the complete rework mods pack thing, which iirc did make everything harder.

    On CoC in case you don't read reddit/poe boards comment, Chris said the 500ms cd is spell specific. If you link say 3spells to CoC, they all have their own 500ms cd, which means technically you can still fire several spells a second. The only exception is they can't fire on the same frame, but I...

    I like the footsteps and the portal, the back attachment thing looks terrible unless you want to cosplay an ice elemental. Some of the challenges look more annoying than usual. The 2nd encounters is pretty fucking awful, it has like ALL the rare shit. Trove, Tormented Embezzler, Inner Treasure...

    Path of Exile

    Also of note in the many comments GGG left in the forums/reddit, Chris mentionned the hp of mobs is getting boosted in 2.4. Not sure to what extent, but it should be a bit more challenging again. I mean usually hp doesn't mean challenge, but when you get to the point where everything on your...

    I don't think it drops more but I do think we clear way faster than we used to, which increases currency per time played. But it was probably either good boots or some guy thinking they were good boots, you can find decent boots(80life, 1good resist, movespeed and possibly a 2nd not so good...

    Well with the rumor from V&lat that Bulldog and S4 would be on OG, I think it'd work out fine. Also on Secret I think it's good that they went international, and it's also good for the MvP guys. Realistically, as much as I would have liked to see a korean team win something important, korean...

    Well Decoy and Warchief do fairly different things. Decoy is way more defensive, although I believe it also adds 10% damage taken now with taunt changes, but Warchief is way more damage, at the expense of not being nearly as good at distracting shit. For Flicker I'd say Warchief would do better...

    The "exploiting" is really only maximizing map xp, which unless you're racing for something, is pretty pointless. I could see it as being an issue in 48h-2weeks races type of events where you'd absolutely want to maximize your atlas, but otherwise for most people, it's not gonna be a terribly...

    Yeah well fuck Early Access. Definitely picking the game up once it releases though, first one was really cool, I spent like 200hours on it counting the original and EE, and this one looks way better in a lot of ways. But playing an unfinished version early sounds like a good way to not feel...

    Yeah on the Diablo subreddit there were a lot of ppl mentionning how they kept using the number 4 in a lot of stuff during the stream, and like the end of the stream had 4 people high five the diablo plushie and shit like that, so D4 seems kinda likely, at least that's in the works. D2 HD...

    They don't really play exactly like SoM, but close enough, SoM was more slow paced and overall easier and shit, especially when you started cheesing with spells. Also SoM had multiplayer, which was pretty fun if you had friends. That said Ys are excelent games, at least the re-releases on Steam...

    You can get it for Malachai, the quest ends right before you do the fight, when you open the thingie. You can TP out, get your gems, and go back in. You can get them earlier by trading but never bothered, unless obviously you don't get the gem as rewards then might as well. On new leagues early...

    Chain and GMP are quest rewards. Duellist gets both(well, they're on the vendor after you complete the corresponding quest). There's only a handful of drop only gems left, notably Added Chaos Damage, not too sure about others. Maybe Temp Chains? You get GMP/chain just before the end of act IV...

    Doesn't make much sense thematically, at least from what we've seen. You escort a ram payload, to take down the gates of the castle, sure. Then you're inside the castle and what? Why are you still escorting the payload? Maybe it changes form? That'd be pretty nice. Don't even know what you're...

    They also own a lot of wikis for a lot of popular games because they own gamepedia. I know recently they fired the guy who was working on the Path of Exile wiki or some shit, and first thing they did was slap some fucking massive ads. I don't mean like a big banner, but like a gigantic popup...

    ZiggyD has some good starting guides and stuff too, explains basics like vendor recipes, links and what not. They're kinda old I think but still up to date, other than Ascendencies(but he might have done a new guide after Ascendency). Look him up on youtube.
