    Well obviously, making a second season would be like making a second highlander movie, it's just a mistake no-one is stupid enough to make right ?

    This seems to be a CW 'thing', say what you will about the rest of smallville, the random eyecandy was unmatched in quantity and variety.

    Blackguards - Tactical RPG

    This was my main complaint. Mage is just fucking annoying and often useless unless you engage in cheese like surrounding one final enemy and passing 500 turns to regen mana before the next fight. Also you pick up new spells with enough mana to cast them once, and like a 50% chance of missing...

    You can use anyone else's stations if you want. Lots of people in t1 have conveniently built them right next to the spire.

    Black Sails

    It's a whorehouse - the stringy haired guy owns it, and the grey haired woman is the madam. As for the latter - what, Swearengen got told to go fuck himself and then walked off, saying he was horny was going to go fuck himself ? I think you got got that scene completely backwards - it was...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Yeah, that seems really weird that there is no way to 'flatten' a cube or drag out a line or anything. I'm guessing it must be tied to higher tier tools or I am missing something obvious, but even laying out a flat foundation is an exercise in frustration at the moment.

    Eh ? The merchant chick's best move is 'I'll tell on you to my dad', which was met with 'who the fuck cares'. The rest of the women are whores - where are these strong independent women doing what they want ? ;p

    Stone warden IMO. They are pretty easy to play, with a good blend of offense and defense and have the best defensive spell in the game ( stone wall ).

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Yeah, they are the psionic equivalent of a staff - they all give bonuses to mindpower and mind crit. Some classes have special uses for them as well, like Mindslayer increases range and cooldown on some skills based on how good their telekinetic mindstar is. Also, mindstars come in sets which...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    There's that, but also in game you start with a quest that gives you the order of the t2 zones, and when you enter a zone there's a line of text in the combat log that gives you a rough idea of it's relatively level compared you - e.g. 'Your heart pounds furiously, you feel terrified', 'You feel...

    Fucking Atamathon. Killed me on max level berserker, summoner, corrupter, oozemancer, bulwark and alchemist now ;p Corrupter and summoner were so agonizingly close too, he had like 300hp left on corrupter.

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Your summons get more powerful with mind power, so mindstars are typically the best. You want ones that give +% physical damage, +mindpower, +mindcrit, will or cunning. The damage on the mindstar itself doesn't do anything unless you try to melee with it ( don't ).

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Technically no, players on normal difficulty have 100% instant death immunity ( you can see it on the charsheet ), but with the way that speed works you can get what looks like a oneshot to you - for example my alchemist got killed in one turn by Elandar - he was buffed up fast enough to cast...

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

    $200k in 10 days ? It's dead Jim, discussing it is as relevant as discussing shadowbane at this point. Even if it blew the doors off funding, I'd have doubts that Brad's track record would get him any good development talent, and on a shoestring budget if they somehow squeak over the line ?

    Yes, this bullshit really frustrated me, especially with a mage heavy party - that shit with the lizardmen where you can't ever recover mana pissed me off no end.

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    It's actually a curse to start with - most of the items you pick up will have a curse on them that gives you negative luck and bad effects. It's only when you start upping the second tree that the curses become weaker and actually give you abilities etc. At max level they are pretty damn...

    Or if you are a pet class, get your pet to open it for you while you are standing back, out of line of sight. ( For alchemist, just click your golem icon at top of screen - for others there's a skill you need to pick up to take direct control of your pet )

    Archers have a few things that help - in generics field control you get disengage, which lets you jump backwards away from stuff ( note you don't have to be adjacent to it, you can jump back at range as well ), and heave, which basically kicks stuff away from you. In archery prowess, the...

    Think of them as nukes rather than pets. Alchemist and necromancer play a bit more like traditional pet classes.

    Check the date first, some of them are very out of date. Another good source is the character vault on te4.org, you can search for winners of whatever class and see what builds and items people used.

    I can just comment on ones I have tried : Faster resting - YES YES YES ( this has no game impact, it just turns the framerate down when resting or autoexploring - makes it MUCH faster ) Online status indicator - useful if you care about validated games and the online events that get tossed...

    Godammit, speaking of OP bullshit, I got anally intruded by the last boss, who used his blinding speed talent to oneshot mylevel 50 alchemistwith a double cast ;p Doubly annoying because I had him to 10% life and had wall of stone ready to go to recover cooldowns next turn. On the bright...

    Alchemists are still pretty fragile, and you will find late game that bosses have enough to survive multiple bombs, so you have to move to a more careful style. Still, for blowing the crap out of those pesky adventurer parties, antimagic patrols and orc patrols they are the reigning champs...

    Kind of like with FF14, where everyone can be any class ? Tank Queue: 0 seconds Heal Queue: 4 minutes DPS Queue: >40 minutes The idea that heaps of people are temperamentally suited to healing or tanking but just accidentally clicked on rogue or ranger or whatever is hopelessly naive...

    Although I was disappointed that the rest of the series didn't live up to Hockenberries rant at the start of Ilium - ".. I'd be just as happy now if a B52 flew over and dropped an atomic bomb on both the Greeks and the Trojans. Fuck all these heroes and the wooden chariots they rode in on"

    He isn't - he gets the same credit Stan Lee gets in Marvel movies - "created by" - the writers for this season have been mark gatiss and steven thompson. He's listed as writer for the next one though, so if it sucks, then you can blame him ;p

    IIRC Hyperion is deliberately mimicking the style of the Canterbury Tales, so is kind of overly wordy like that - Endymion is a bit more accessible, which is why there is kind of an odd split between people liking one or the other.
