    Empire Online: 100 Greatest Video Games of all time

    Yeah, but when does it change from harder to win the level to impossible to win ? Surely that's heavily dependent on how skilled you are. I think, from what you are saying, that what you mean is that it's bad design to compound failure, so each time you do badly it makes it harder in future...

    HxH in some ways does the opposite - like the chairman isn't all that intimidating through most of it, but later on you get to see him going all out and.... wow ;p They make it pretty clear, that the tactics, strategy, psychology etc are all at least as important as raw power level. One of the...

    Well anyway, there was some debate about whether buff only units like melchio and tesla decreased the cost of their brave burst when it was levelled, so I figured I'd do an experiment just to verify what I had experienced. Below image is using Aem as leader with a BB10 melchio at the top...

    1:30 more or less, so more than 10% attention would probably be wasted ;p It's ok, and it has tits, I am a little annoyed at the stupidity of the plot though, the chick doesn't know shit about anything and has 200 years of linguistic drift, so the idea of her 'fooling' anyone else there is...

    Empire Online: 100 Greatest Video Games of all time

    I'd imagine it's almost impossible for a game to tell - to know would require that the AI knows the game on a level so far beyond you that nothing you can do can have any effect on it's victory. I don't know of any game beyond noughts and crosses where this is the case with pc hardware. I'd...

    Oh wow, admission of shame time. I have been running a max Douglas for the last month or so and have been kind of disatisfied with his and felneus' performance, particularly in last frontier hunter. Today I got sgx sbb unlocked, and still was falling dismally at max prizes. Then I...

    661 is still way too high for the super low per-year intake from the Hunter exam they cited early on. Unless they are all extra long lived or something.

    Probably not, given the English captain makes maybe fifteen seconds of small talk before going for the rape in the first episode. Besides, if any feminists are not already boycotting them for spartacus then they are probably not easily outraged.

    10,000th or 100,000th ? Coz at 25,000 all I see these days are squads of five 6* cayennas with muramasas. Still increasing slowly, a few losses for -10, one win for 200 - can't imagine being under 10k without spending gems like water though.

    Their dad figures killua is more likely to do something stupid. Illumi had known for years and hadn't done anything to threaten the family so why would he be on lockdown? The viewer knows Hisoka is a complete fucking lunatic, it's not certain Illumi does. Also, in old news - I was...

    Karl's leader skill isn't really suited to bb spam. IIRC it is chance per attack not chance per hit so you can only get it once per round. You need felneus, duelmex or kags really. Although I see suggestion about hybrid bb crit or spark teams so you could probably do zebra or behemoth and...

    It is just the keyboard you are using (google keyboard I suspect?). Switch to a different keyboard app and it should work. I used stock Samsung one in the same situation, but there are heaps available, just get one that has a real enter key instead of only a return key.

    Brave Frontier

    Do you have either of those guys ( Tesla, Elimo ) ? They definitely go down in crystal requirement, at BB10, melchio fills in one round of basic attacks every time. The buff doesn't get stronger either - it's 3 turns no matter what level the BB is for melchio.

    Brave Frontier

    Depends on which BB it is - as a general rule, ones that do damage or healing get stronger, ones that are purely buffs ( see Melchio, Telsa ) take less time to charge.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    No, those are all quite different. Bushido - when that creature blocks or is blocked, it gains +X/+X until end of turn. E.g. your 2/2 attacks, is blocked, becomes 4/4 until end of turn then goes back to 2/2 vs Rage - when a creature attacks, it permanently gains +X. E.g. your 2/2 attacks...

    Brave Frontier

    Felneus' leader skill has non linear scaling - it scales with the number of hits each unit makes in a turn, including BB/SBB hits, but the benefit is capped at the size of each unit's BB bar - this means that you pretty easily reach the point where you use your entire teams BB and it generates...

    I am no pro, but that looks like a pretty decent rainbow team. Probably want Lebra and aisha over xenon and vargas eventually ( they have much stronger stats and lebra has an awesome buff ) but team cost is going to be the driver for a long time.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That is a terrible example. The hobbit is like 80 pages long and would easily make one movie with no cuts. The fiasco of the trilogy is pure greed, they have been inventing shitloads of filler to pad it out. GoT is more like deciding to do Lord of the rings and then after the first movie...

    Depends - if you actually mean dark idol ( the little rock monster thing ) , then no - that dungeon is pretty easy, other than you probably want a healer at low level because there is a lot of aoe. If you meant dark totem ( the bigger, pyramid shape guy ), then that's significantly harder...

    Depends on how big an upgrade the SBB is I think - like having douglas at SBB1 and felneus at SBB1 is heaps better than having either one at SBB10 and the other with no SBB. With lunaris, I think it'd be more iffy, just because the SBB isn't such a huge improvement over her regular BB. As for...

    Just got around to finishing this season, and it was pretty entertaining overall.

    Questing gives the best xp/stamina, but you may have fallen into the trap where you outlevel all the newbie dungeons so you have to spend ages doing ones with incredibly shit xp before you get to the good ones. Four Pillars in St Lamia is usually the go-to for farming xp, but most of the ones...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me here ? Is what the GoT actors are being paid now 'fair', or is 30x that 'fair' ? If the latter, why did they sign up for 1/30th of a fair salary for 7 years in the first place ?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I see this argument a fair bit, but it always seems to just assume that every actor involved is a greedy parasite just begging for their chance to demand 30x their current salary. Is it a thing where actors in general sign up for 7 years at 'peanuts' of 150k an episode just so they get a...

    I don't think it needs any super geekery - kings are a lot more than 2.6x as much xp as ghosts, and gods are a lot more than 2.6x the xp of kings - it's shitloads better ratio than the 2.6x the energy cost.

    My favorite is when rainbow vs rainbow your guys carefully only attack the one they are weak against and then get exploded turn two when the other team does the opposite. Or when one guy fills bb turn one then gets dogpiled.

    The guy that does the unit analysis gives like 5 paragraphs of reasoning for his rating for each unit, so you can always read it and see if you agree. Other than a bit of review site reasoning ( lets make 1500 base so 1700 is huge compared to 1600 ), the analysis seems pretty objective.
