    That was the last dungeon revamp. First pass they nerfed the shit out of specials, which made it too easy. Second pass they buffed the shit out of white damage. Most people have said it keeps constant pressure on heals.

    Interstellar (2014)

    I don't think so, as far as I remember the book also ended with her discovering the 'message from god' in the digits of pi.

    Hmm, reading Hasbro's annual report for 2013 to see how much of a big deal for them this would be - hoo boy. Gaming revenue was up 10% to 2 billion, with first credit given to magic the gathering for year on year revenue growth with extremely low manufacturing cost. Yeah, they are almost...

    The art and the names are the only thing that are copyrightable, game rules can't be copyrighted. It's all about the patent claims.

    Yes, this. They don't expect to win, just to drain crypto dry. Them going out of business is a win for them anyway.

    That definition of "copied" has no hope of winning anything. Which is a good thing, because being able to copyright 'a unit with 2 attack' would be unbelievably stupid and disruptive. The actual patent for MTG ishereand is actually pretty well written, specific and descriptive, which I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If you've seen the holy grail, they were comparing the dreadfort attack to the attack on the rabbit. More from the silliness than any direct connections. Which is fair, that scene was pretty terrible and made no sense.

    At raid level I can't say personally, but reports are that stalker and engineer tank are pretty close but warrior has huge threat problems. This seems to be a problem at lower level as well since last patch - the war tank I ended up in hycrest with lost aggro every few seconds ( was in right...

    You can, the path to algoroc from the main city is just through the underground tunnels, you come out of the mountain se of the town there. Be warned though that going into the starter zones puts you at the start of the starter zone, rather than the end, so it's a long hike to get out again ;p...

    Yeah, their plan on that front is a large F2P PVE side. Unfortunately they seem to be epically behind schedule, and have no signs of any of it available yet, and no ETA. Still, I think the gold/plat economy will be pretty solid whenever pve does go in - the gold cost of rolling the PVP chests...

    Hey, both are plausible for the same reason. This is a useless bunch of juvenile criminals, they would probably have an even chance of either freezing to death after running out of matches or burning their camp to the ground.

    Sidonia wins the Bear Grylls survivalist award this week. I continue to be vexed by the implication that two robots holding each other is somehow more efficient than each of them using their engines separately though. Brynhildr wins the 'fair and balanced' battle award for the month though...

    Not sure what happened for you, but I have had to trouble leaving drafts after being eliminated - they just mail the 5k gold to you when it's eventually won. I actually received it in the middle of another draft I had started.

    If you mouseover the list on the left, it'll tell you what each gives. Interestingly, the chest upgrade works on legendary chests to turn them into primal chests. I'm not sure, but I'd guess there's a 'super' primal chest type too to cover the double upgrade roll.

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

    Yes, very. The card set is deep, with interesting interactions, and well balanced. Draft puts everyone on an even footing card wise, and has a few levels of extra strategy observing what's being passed. The limited cards for draft decks also lead to some fun effects you wouldn't normally see in...

    Yeah it kind of does actually. The shift depends partly on class as well, but 15 is mounts, housing, the adventure map and for a few classes ( like engineer ) a much more solid skillset. I'd give it to 15, play with housing a bit, do the adventure - if you've done that and are uninterested...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I read that as just bait to make people think he'd let them go because he was a softie underneath overall, which gets shattered by showing him shooting the dog with the rifle, proving that he actually is a dickhead afterall and totally wants to kill them. You don't throw people out of a jet...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Meh, it's true, for reasons not related to degree of casualness as well - the time taken to clear the newbie dungeons is so long and the xp is so bad that any gear drops are immediately invalidated because you would be several levels higher if you'd just leveled through that same time. Side...

    You sure it wasn't that you leveled up ? There are pretty steep diminishing returns on xp for low level mobs. I admit though, I didn't try killing the same mob over and over, but did circuits of the same areas ( like halstead's claim or the little voodoo guys ) - didn't see any drop in xp...

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

    It's generally recommended by the more experienced people to use packs only for drafts - absolute worst case in a draft you get the three packs you put in plus 5k gold, but if the people in draft are trying to win, they will often take less valuable cards that are more likely to help them win...

    I'm not sure what you mean by designed for leveling by slaughtering monsters. Is it just a complaint that leveling that way is slower than questing? Coz it's not like you can't just sit in one spot and kill stuff, the mob density is pretty high overall, there's a lot of trash drops, you can...

    Yep. The newbie decks are pretty terrible, and there are a lot of people that have dumped absolutely ludicrous money into it already, so expect to get exploded a lot of matches. The AI is more even matchups but the AI is also spectacularly terrible at the moment ( Kranok, in particular, loves...

    You can't build a deck around pack raptor because there are only four of them. Some games you are not even going to see one of them. They work well with agro decks though. A 1/1 swiftstrike for 1 would be worth it without any power up, there are a shitload of annoying creatures with 1 toughness...
