    The RPG Thread

    There's a demo of the game on the japanese PSN if you wanna make an account to check it out. I haven't bothered but reading what people said about the game, they reworked the combat entirely so it's a lot better, so it's safe to assume they removed any sort of FPS dips and shit, at leaqt on PS4...

    Still worse than Best Buy from what I read since you get 20% of every game and some money on the next purchase kind of stuff, but better than nothing. Meanwhile in Europe, I can pay 50euros a year to get 1day delivery and get on the terrible flash sales a few hours early. Yay.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I blame this thread for the DDoSing. Angel investor probably got pissed everyone was making fun of him for not existing so he spent his money on nuking down the website instead of funding the game.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    Leaked version kinda sucks for legit players, but on the plus side people have already started working on stuff like ENB filters and how to mod shit. So far mostly they replace music files. Also other upside of the leak is since it's an early press copy, it still has the Berserk armor on it...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Patch is live btw. No maintenance, they just patched randomly. On EU, it was even live before they updated the patcher. Like you could download it by connecting to the US, then bypass the launcher to connect to EU servers with the patch, weird shit. Did my WD set dungeons, shit's pretty...

    Path of Exile

    They could remove all the conversion uniques but that'd be a pretty sad way to fix it. They probably should start by tweaking poison damage down a lot since it stacks or something like that, like hit the poison gem and the poison node. Poison is pretty much 100%chance to apply(either due to...

    DOTA 2

    Someone on Reddit said they play passive as shit cause NA is so cancer when they play in leagues and shit they just abandon/call gg whenever someone dies early so they're used to playing super safe so they can actually play games longer than 5mins, and they keep that mindset when they play pro...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The mounts are cool and they made some of them fly, that's about it I think. Although they might also be relevant in the new relic, not sure if it's only the 60 factions or the old ones too. In general I'd say it's not worth the time unless you're bored though, especially while you're still...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The wings are part of a normal general achievement track, so they should work on both at the same time yeah. You get a bunch of banners for doing class specific set dungeons, and then once you've completed all of these you get wings, but it's not season specific, it's not in the seasonal...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm gonna keep my sets so I can do set dungeons quickly, but yeah the rest I just delete generally(other than materials and shit obviously since those stack). Plan is to d WD set dungeons when patch hits since I have all these sets, and maybe some crusader stuff, then DH/Wiz during season. I'll...

    DOTA 2

    Well sure but it's not like every good player from every region is always going to be in a team for a major/TI, that's just how it is, some teams don't make it, some guys don't find teams. There's more CIS teams in the qualifiers cause there's a lot of CIS teams, especially with a bunch of newer...

    Paragon, Epic Games(Unreal) MOBA, PC/PS4

    Getting in early alpha on a moba kinda sucks though, low hero count and stuff like matchmaking not working properly/not having ratings means the games are complete garbage, so not in a hurry to get in the game.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Might not have noticed there was better tomes than poetics. Basically Poetics are lvl 50 gear, they're completely worthless and you shouldn't make sets of them for anyone other than glamour sets, random quest gear or even white vendor gear is better at 60(albeit kinda expensive for what it is)...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hmm while classes are fairly equal, builds aren't necessarily. Whirlwinds builds are especially kinda crappy because they tweaked some shit to reduce lag and it's pretty shit now, for GRs. Like it's great for farming T10 still, but not great for progressing, most barbs use raekor/IK or...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    No one can really predict what's gonna be best because no one really pushed every class to the limit. Barb support seems a must for any 4man progression, so if you wanted to climb the ladder, that'd definitely be the top pick since you'd farm the most paragon points to do solo leader or just...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    D2 run having really shitty RNG it seems like, spent like 20mins farming the countess for runes. Running world records on D2 sounds like the worst. Char name is ChrisWilson, PoE reddit giving like 4k+ to get it lol. D1 wasn't really RNG manipulation, although there was a lot of reloading...

    G-sync monitors are useful for all your games though since they're just general use monitors. VR is only useful for stuff that's built to work with VR. You can kinda hack shitty VR support in a lot of stuff, but for really good VR stuff it seems you need to make a decent amount of decisions so...

    DOTA 2

    A large amount of the good european players are already in teams that got direct invites, with OG, Secret and Alliance. Meanwhile only VP was invited, so yeah it makes sense the qualifiers has more CIS teams.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You get varying amounts of Echo depending on the encounter. Some of the old shit you start with full echo, some others you need to fight for what was it, 2+mins before a wipe would give you echo, and it was 5% up to 25% max or 10% up to 50% max depending. It's stuff to help casuals catch up and...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    I didn't mean numbers or even gear differences, and more core mechanics due to the lack of attempt in balancing it with this in mind. From what I've seen and read, damage outscales health way too fast in world pvp. That leads to a lot of situations where world pvp results in extremely short...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Yeah it has channels, so doesn't make much of a diff. And damage in world pvp is stupidly high from what I've seen, as in you die near instantly and while 1vs1 you can tab out of CC, when you have 5people all using CC on you at the same time, you're basically not moving at all. So I don't know...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Yeah summer usually. They have a bunch of sales in a row at the end of the year, but after that it's nothing until summer. If you track sales in general though, there's plenty of stuff being sold either during week long deals, weekend deals and other websites do sales pretty often too. As for...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    There's a large dragon world boss kind of thing. More people for that is better since it dies faster, although I think people can also fuck it up for everyone so not sure. And world PvP if that's your thing, but world pvp in this game is awful as shit due to not normalizing damage like arena...

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

    Well if it's backwards compatible, I would probably buy one so I can play the Wii U games without having to buy a Wii U. Eventually. Maybe. Thing is I have so much backlog lately I don't really care that much though. And yeah my comparison was purely based on my own tastes. Most of the PS...

    Oculus Rift

    Hmm I'd say it's maybe kinda like a bell curve? If you don't have the money you really want it, if you have enough money you're kinda meh, and if you have way too much money, you really want it cause why not. But really depends on people though.

    Oculus Rift

    Alienware trying to sell their pricy shit though, doesn't really mean you need a 1k$ PC to run games, as usual for PC gaming it depends on settings and game optimization. Some games will require better PC cause they're optimized like shit, others won't. But yeah obviously you need a pretty good...

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

    I think the bundles were down to 300$ during the sales leading up to xmas, so you might be able to get a better price if you wait, but who knows when that'll be. For the hard drive, people recommend changing the hard drive to a SSD/HDD hybrid to get better load times. Pure SSD apparently doesn't...

    Oculus Rift

    Vive isn't gonna be any cheaper though, that's just an impossibility. On the other hand, Vive has a lot more stuff in it, so while it may be more expensive, it could be better value. The room scaling lighthouse whatever, which from my understanding will only come later to Occulus with the...

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

    Eh I don't know. Wii U has so far a lot more interesting games than PS4, imo. Obviously it's been out longer but still. Sure it doesn't have CoD or whatever but since I don't play these, or play the PC versions, I actually didn't get much value out of my PS4. I bought it kinda rushed to get the...

    Oculus Rift

    That's not really obvious no. They could have offered a rebate based on the kickstarting amount sure, but giving them free when the minimum kickstarter amount is probably gonna be several hundreds of dollars lower than the cost of the product, on top of the dev kits themselves, that's quite a...

    Oculus Rift

    Well it's a baseline, but in the end it depends on the game and the settings. Like some games will definitely have higher recommended settings than those, so in this case, the best you can afford is probably what you want. Can always hit the graphic quality to keep it smooth though, just like...

    Path of Exile

    And that's still pretty fast. I don't think the 1-100 is too long though, I think it's about right, maybe even too short in some cases(mostly groups), it's just the pre map experience is really annoying but maps start so late now that you're already in the slow leveling part of the whole...

    Oculus Rift

    Yeah that sounds like a decent guess. That's why I'm mostly considering buying the PS4 shitty one first, it won't cost as much(mostly cause I don't need to buy a new PC to use it) and will be nice to check out the whole thing, and then see what the future versions of the rift/vive/whatever if...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah but that's like super far away. Seems the next expansion there won't be more actual act content, just the labyrinth which won't give shit for xp since you can only do it once and it seems it has a fuckton of traps and stuff and you have to backtrack and what not. That's why I think...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah like the old Diablo games. A few bosses get a few new tricks but mostly it's the same, just with a -20resist penalty and high damage/health values to compensate for your level. Then it does it again for Merciless with -60resists, but since it's the last you can stop without finishing in...
  36. Pyros

    Path of Exile

    Well they want a progression, but yeah it feels really like shit with the multiple difficulties. It's kinda similar in Diablo really, but wish they'd just remove the concept. Make leveling faster, make the story approx 1-60, then start maps at 60 like the old days. Just add more tiles and more...

    Oculus Rift

    Cause apparently it's gonna be a lot more expensive than expected, and considering it was already expensive, I guess they don't want bad press before it starts, or whatever. I don't really see a reason to buy this over the Vive before we know all the specs and prices of both tbh. Even then...

    DOTA 2

    Wanted to check ingame matches for the qualifiers, turns out directed camera is still bugged. Shit hasn't been working since Reborn launched. Works fine most of the time, then it'll randomly bug and gets stuck on one person for like 2minutes, even if the person is dead(just stays on the corpse)...

    Grim Dawn

    Every skill kinda does that if you dump all your points into it, but then it stops scaling as fast once you're maxed. Apparently lategame it's garbage, as is most of the demo tree, but that's just what I read quickly. They'll do a large balance patch before the official release, so stuff should...
